We used to hunt in the Catskills at a cabin that belonged to one of my Uncle's friends. My Uncle and I did all the wood cutting, with bow saws, for several years till I got my Homelite Super II. I started hunting up there when I was 16, and did not get a chainsaw till I was about 26 or 27. My Uncle always had a wood stove for heat, and never owned a chainsaw! He was old school! We were always dragging (by hand) 4-6" logs to to cabin.
Often, you could not get a vehicle up there in the winter, and we back packed food & water in.
I got married when I was 25, and my FIL was a tree surgeon and he taught me how to use a chainsaw. The company used all Homelite XLs at the time.
