I've been clearing some old pasture on my place that had been allowed to grow up with Black Willows and Tupelo Gum by the previous owner(s). It wouldn't be such a bad job if it weren't for the poison ivy.
I get by okay as long as I keep my sleeves rolled down. Occasionally the saw will send a chip from the poison ivy down the front of my shirt though. Makes for a really itchy belly button for about a week.
Sorry about the color but it's the best I could do with a phone camera and low light. The saw in the first picture is a Husky 268 with a 20" bar that I put in for perspective. The tree's branches have been removed, so all the stuff you see sticking out is poison ivy. Most of the trees aren't this bad, but there's hardly a one that doesn't have some poison ivy.
All the branches on the next two belong to the poison ivy as well.
