Best of FPF: Chainsaw Tutorial
Carrie, in Grand Isle, turned to their Front Porch Forum to seek help learning a handy skill. We thought it was well worth a share:
“Hello neighbors! I have a small electric chainsaw but haven’t used it myself because I’m afraid. I’d like to get over that and potentially learn how to use a regular-sized/powered chainsaw too. So, if you have some experience and don’t mind showing me how to safely operate a chainsaw, please reach out. I’m a YouTube university superstar; so I’ve watched plenty of basics, but things like this do best with learning in person.”
Carrie was able to get the advice they needed. Remember, FPF can be a great place to exchange skills!

Consider taking the first-level Game of Logging course near you. They’re really good. Lots of home owners take their courses. Last I heard a day’s tuition ran around $350. And, if you do trail maintenance for any section of the GMC, you qualify for a free two-day saw course (chainsaw or crosscut saw) from the Forest Service. Your contact for that would be Dave Haberl at the GMNF Rochester, VT District Office.
