They are safety chains. But when you are running a 34 CC saw you aren't looking for speed anyhow lol.
I have a walking trail the runs on the top of a couple of rocky ridges. These chains are earmarked for cutting blow downs there as hitting rocks is inevitable.

Well I got a good load of mixed hard wood, around 2 cord. But I also got Poison Ivey all over me from wherever it was cut.
Bummer, on the PI. Before you go to bed, run hot water on it, as hot as you can take, for a few minutes. Then don't scratch, it will give you temporary relief long enough for you to go to sleep.
Cover the affected areas too (long sleeves, and/or pants); otherwise, the irritating oil can get on the sheets, and as you roll around. . . .
Fels Naptha, laundry soap, Technu, . . .

Fels Naptha.... I love the stuff. If you can lather the fels naptha on the affected area and then let it dry, do not rinse. It will provide some relief and help it heal faster.

Out, standing in my field.
Yeah, wash it off!
And then, try some lavender essential oil, and/or tea tree essential oil. My wife got into using this stuff, and I was skeptical at first, but it really takes the itch and pain out.

The essential oil stuff works. I dont know about that combo on PI but after going to the doc twice to have a plantar wart frozen off I found that lemon essential oil works and give it a try. It sure did work on the plantars wart and at $10 a bottle it was way cheaper than the $130 a pop the doc was.

Good old Poison Death, theres nothing like it. The bane of many a firewood hound, myself included. Knock on wood, I havent had to get a shot in the hind end over it for a few years now, only because I avoid it like the plague.

20 pages behind, and all caught up on the scrounging exploits now. You fellas have been busy. Me? Not so much. Well not with wood any way. It's nearing time for me to get back in the woods and get some wood put up real soon though. I scouted my property last weekend and saw 5 or 6 good firewood candidates standing dead. It's a start.
Well look who the cat dragged in!
Roundup works good on poison ivy, thistles, etc... 3-5 oz per gallon and cut wood 3-4 days later. Lol.
Hey guys, I'm looking at a new to me saw. I started a thread in chainsaws but I'm intersted in your opinions. Take a look and weigh in if you have a minute.

I had a minty 365 special, it was jam up nice, about as perfect a one saw plan as it gets, if that was your one saw, and you had like three different bars for it, say like an 18, 24 and 28.. Unfortunately it was in the wad of saws that got stolen. I replaced it with a 371xp, a member here was kind enough to give me a deal on it.
Poison Ivy sucks

I am still here, lost my computer so am on a tablet. Never used one so it is a challenge to say the least ! My tower will not power on at all, so guess it was fried. Never had one lose power totally. Good thing I have better luck with the Husky,s or I would be cold this winter!

My neighbor swears by stuff called ivy dry. There's a bottle in every one of his work trucks.
He gets exposed quite a bit in his line of work.

We will be heading your direction on vacation in a couple weeks. I have never been to that part of the country. What would be considered "don't miss" attractions in your area for country type folks?
