| Paul |  tree spikesJuly 10th, 2008 10:05 AM I don't know it if necessarily happened up there on your property, Adam, but I remember hearing stories of the uber-hippies spiking trees to "fight back" at the forestry industry. I understand that saving trees is important, but serious injuries can result fromthis type of tactic. In fact causing serious injuries to loggers IS the point of this tactic. Like I said... uber-hippies. Also... As I understand it, chainsaw chaps are for stopping the spinning chain from cutting into your leg. Essentially, the kevlar and other fibers embedded in the chap bind up the chain and choke out the engine. If the chain breaks and goes swinging wild, it may help, but suddenly your upper body is in far more danger. |
