It Begins! Let's get out the Stihl!

What happens here

The project begins with an overview of the day's tasks, which involve cutting trees for lumber. The importance of safety is immediately highlighted with the creator wearing and demonstrating a Husqvarna helmet with ear protection and a face shield, explaining how it prevented injury from a falling branch. The chainsaw, safety gear (including chainsaw chaps), and other tools are loaded onto a flatbed truck.

Goal: Prepare for timber harvesting with necessary tools and safety gear.
