      'chainsaws are dangerous', dude, everything is dangerous. there are car crashes everyday yet you drive one. opening and making dams to collapse is dangerous too. you just have to be mindful of what you do.
      but I respect your choice. if you don't want using something then don't.

      and good ol' saws are cool too. i'd probably get a smaller lighter one with a thinner/smaller blade, they cut branches better because have less friction against wood. look up garden saws.

    Yes you are wise. Being alone you have to always think safety first. In case of emergency. How long will it take for help to come to you. Will they be able to find you. How long will it take to get to the hospital. You are also wise in checking with the landowners to make sure not to cause water floods and flash floods down stream. Keep up the excellent work. You are doing a fine job taking care of the land and nature.

      Accidents happen when you feel safe. Always consider the dangers of a job before you start it, mitigate as many dangers as you can before you start (tools, procedures, etc.) and be mindful of the dangers at all times. When I'm on a construction site, a small portion of my mind is constantly evaluating my environment and living 1 or more seconds in the future.

      They do now make a small rechargeable battery operated chainsaw. The blade looks like it’s about 8-12 inches long and it’s just for lightweight use but it will handle a tree 3 or 4 inches in diameter. While still a chainsaw, it appears to be much safer to use and much easier to handle.

    Kenislovas,
    Your thinking on the chain saw is exactly right. I put chain saws in the same category as table saws, motorcycles, automobile racing, and private airplanes. If a person is not totally comfortable with these activities they should not participate. You make great points, particularly the observation that a muddy beaver dam in a water channel is a terrible place to learn and practice. Learning should be in a controlled safe place.
    Your hand saw does the job and is easy to carry. If you ever do want to upgrade your saw, look at:
    1. A bow saw with a timber blade, or
    2. A Silky (Japanese) or Bahco (Sweden) folding camping / pruning saw.
    By the way, love the outro music !

    These beavers are tremendous architects when it comes to building these dams. They don't appear to leak and are able to hold back enormous amounts of water. Too bad we couldn't employ them instead of many people I know.

    Unacceptable risk= chainsaw use when you are alone and far from your vehicle.
    Acceptable risk= undermining a beaver dam and knowing when to jump out of the way before it tumbles a LOT of water straight into you. Ha.
    I find the clearing out of the bottom so the dam topples over in a gush to be very interesting. Your channel is unique in your method.

    Your videos are always relaxing and varied. I am so glad you are safety conscious in already dangerous situations. Very cold water, which is rushing and also very heavy and full of logs, branches etc. You are sensible and aware of your safety at all times. As to using a chain saw, just because you can - doesn't mean you should! As you said, out in the middle of countryside, on your own, well away from any help. Any accident could become deadly! So keep doing what you do so well, in whatever way keeps your motivation. We will keep watching and wishing you well.

      @@Kenislovas We do have Tannerite is available though. But I can understand how your method is more rewarding than using an excavator. Plus the danger adds excitement as well.
      Stay safe, I’ll look for your next video.

    Greetings from the USA. Love the channel. You were talking about chainsaws at the beginning. I would recommend one of the small electric powered ones they have available now. It would be great for those small trees and bushes and the danger factor would be minimal. Cheers!!

    Ask them to show the smarter way. I like this because it is ecological friendly and the sound is soothing. No tractors, No explosives, and definately no boring content. Most are probably Americans too that are asking. 😂

    Another great video.. thanks. I realise you are on a tight budget, but a cheap large tooth garden bow saw is much more affective on small trees and bushes than a carpenters hand saw.. Stay safe..

      It's very rare when I have to use saw. I don't think I should invest in it more :)

    you mentioned the guy with the chainsaw in the beginning. Where I live everybody just uses kevlar pants. The cheaper ones (that work just as well as the more expensive ones) start at about 70-80 euros here. Recommend you get one!
