Saved by the chainsaw chaps!

[Stumpalump]

Chainsaw chaps are the leg chaps designed to limit chainsaw injuries to your legs. Somtimes I get a little close because I know I have the protection. But not this time. I was squating down clearing scrub oak and brush and somehow the saw came right across my upper thigh and the chaps save a nasty injury. They are hot and somtimes actually running the saw is only part of the work so they get in the way but I'm glad I had them on yesterday. The saw cam across the chaps and actually nicked up the side of my jeans that arn't covered. I'm I beliver in them.

wife got me a pair last xmas, have them in the truck but keep forgetting to put them on

was bucking a big cottonwood on a sidehill, tree rolled and as I caught my balance, felt the saw teeth start removing pantsleg

leg felt wet, looked thru the hole and no red, said a prayer of thanks right there

won't be that lucky every time, gotta start wearing them

I have a pair for the same reason. It is hard to take the time to put them on sometimes but it is something you just need to do. Thanks for the reminder.

My gas-powered hedge trimmers can do nasty cuts on body parts too. Don't ask how I know!
