Jan when it comes to chain saws and survival first on my list would be to get a chainsaw and then for back up another chainsaw. As it is, I don't think it is going on my list of survival equipment.
Praying that I don't regret this decision but you can only carry/store/afford so much!
Saw this on the survival blog and thought it just seems like a good idea
I never see recommendations for chainsaw spare parts.
Recommend:
Sharpened chains
Bar and bar nuts
Air Filter
Primer bubble
diaphragms
spark plugs
Bar Oil
2 cycle engine oil
Anything you tell yourself that you can just run down to the store and get.
I dont use mine very much so when I do end up getting it out, I find the primer bubble cracked and the diaphragm in bad shape. I take the time to take it in to the local small engine repair guy, and have him fix it while I play the annoying customer that asks too many questions. Then when I get the bill for the parts, I purchase spares. I also try to keep all my 2 cycle equipment, (ie, chainsaw, weedeater, trimmer, edger, blower) all in the same family.
Hint: I keep my spare chains in a zip lock bag with extra bar oil coating the chains.
Those were some good ideas and good food for thought. Thanks Jan !
Great video. Thanks Jan.
Hahahaha. I admit it was a stretch from uranium on ebay to how hard it is/was to find lead-topped cartridges in recent years, and prices have severely increased on both ammo and bullet components - if you reload. But Bananas? Who knew?
Ron,
Supposedly, the lead (Pb) we find/mine today, from which we make car batteries and jacketed bullets, started out as uranium 238, some 4 billion years ago, but decayed to non-radioactive lead in all that time.
Steve,
Meanwhile, decayed, naturally occurring, non-enriched uranium = lead (4.46 billion year decay cycle) seems to be getting harder to find. No wonder they are using depleted uranium in projectiles. Apparently, the half-life is lots shorter since fission (nuclear power plants) "eats up" the more radioactive 235U within 238U.
I sure didn't.
