ArboristSite Operative
Somewhat new to using a chainsaw beyond el cheapo Poulans, and needing advice to start my (used) Stihl ms290, I found this forum. I have enjoyed reading here. I am also a webmaster and have built several forums over the years, and presently am an active member of many forums across a broad variety of interests. Forums are my favorite part of the internet.
I have noticed that the people on here seem a cut above many forums. On a lot of forums, there is a ton of nonsense. And though there is some bickering now and then on here, it's not overwhelming.
I have also noticed that members are passionate about chainsaws or firewood or arbor work or whatever. Passion is a good thing in anything you do. Passionate people are helpful!
Lastly, I admit that I have become pretty interested in getting my saw running right and scrounging firewood, even though we don't burn that much wood around here. I wonder this is? It might have to do with the fact that for many years now, I haven't been outdoors as in the past, when it seemed I stayed outdoors, doing this and that. Getting back into it, it's nice to be outside, lol. I do way too much computer work.
I have also come to learn that there is a LOT to running a saw and a LOT to cutting firewood. Safely.
Why do you think saw people are so passionate? Is it the challenge of tweaking saws or getting wood cheaper or just what? Curious!
