I like how he says “hand tools “ with a casual AR-15 in the background 😂

Owls, wolves and Loctite deer. It's getting pretty wild in those woods.

The one great use I've found for these pocket rope saws is when you need to cut a limb that's really high. Throw a rope up and over, and then haul this up on a sturdier rope. The key, though, is to have a saw that has teeth on BOTH sides. Otherwise, when you drag it over the limb, it wants to flip to the smooth side as that's the least resistance, and by then you can't flip the chain over. A two-sided rope saw, in my experience, is a great alternative to ladders, pole saws, or an expensive call to the tree trimmer.

I love the chaps for the pocket chainsaw...lol.

You know you are a west coast guy when you have to wear a specific shirt to cut a tree down lol great video.

I could see that being useful in a motorcycle kit

What you mentioned at 6:25 came true for my best friend David. He cut his femoral artery and his wife found him dead hours later. (Angle grinding accident).

I LOVE that you just casually have an AR-15 in the back of your utv. Gotta keep out them pesky mountain lions to protect sweetloaf.

Not watched a Wanglerstar video in a couple years, glad to see you're still a wholesome guy making happy, informative videos. The amount of land you own just makes me too jealous as an Englishman haha!

As an upstate New Yorker I appreciate your closing comments. Most people still believe New York is just NYC, the state is SO much more than that, home to the beautiful Adirondack and Catskill Mountains. I appreciate the content you put out consistently.

Who else was only fixated on his AR while he was talking about his supplies

Wranglerstar Shill of The Day - Perhaps the Greatest Axe of All Time - Small Forest Axe is Perhaps the Greatest Axe of All Time - amzn.to/2zzBFNk (amazon affiliate link)

i actually bought one of these a while back and i noticed that if your not wearing gloves or something on your hands if you have them too close together as your cutting it’s quite easy to accidentally nick your fingers so watch out for that

I keep one in my car emergency bag. I used it on one camping outing to process firewood just to see if it would hold up, and to see how well it works, and I was surprised at how well it worked. It takes up almost no space, and it actually works; so it's worth putting in a bug out bag or the glove box for sure.

Watching wranglerstar talk about saws n cuttin tress... simpler times. Merry christmas!

lets see how fast that sbr takes out the branches.

Very interesting commentary at the very end there. I would be curious to hear your take on landscape architecture. What is your aesthetic for the land?

Two points. First, your audio is outstanding, thank you so much! Two, so thankful to see you were wearing gloves. As cool as that hand chainsaw is, I could see it easily shredding the skin of hand or wrist as you draw and get a crossed. Thanks for all you do and may the Lord bless you and keep you.

I found this channel like a couple days ago. Ive never been more intrigued and felt more mainly just watching video after video XD these are awesome to watch and i love learning the stuff you teach!

Love the east coast banter 😂

Why wouldn’t you make a partial cut on one side of the tree and then line up and finish through on the other side to prevent the binding? I don’t know, I’m just from the east coast.

I love how Cody keeps the blaster in the background lol. Like a subtle “screw you” to the softies at KZfaq.

Thanks for the video. Definitely needed a break from what's going on, thanks again hope you have an awesome week🇺🇸😁

This looks pretty useful and something that I might consider purchasing and putting in my snowmobile kit. I have a small, foldable handsaw and shovel already but this might be a new thing to add.

Cody - "Ask me how I know" Laughed out loud. We've all been there at some point man.

I like the "howling wolf" homage to the OSIS video.

Just Sub to see the pocket chain saw in action from a knowlegable source! I love how thorough you are. What a useful video is because I've picked up some great tips!! Thank you, sir.

Man. I really like the added context at the end. I think it is really helpful for guys like myself who are trying to come up with a management plan for their own property. Thanks for that!

This feels like it’s back to the good old Wranglerstar days. I miss these days. Fantastic content, Cody! I really enjoyed this and will probably rewatch it a few more times.

GREAT video! That little pocket chainsaw would be great to have in our car, because we HAVE encountered small downed trees here in the California Sierra blocking a road after a storm. Wild Alpines strawberries have been a favorite, since I was seven (I am old 'smiling') and as we were climbing the north side of Mt St Helen's in Washington state my Dad said 'STOP' and he stood for 30 seconds inhaling the air and then pointed and proclaimed 'wild strawberries!'. We (Dad Mom, and Aunt and me) all had two small collapsible canvas buckets and scurried up the mountain, dropped to our knees and for an hour picked strawberries. One for me two for the bucket. We all got a good gallons worth. Then saw huckleberry shrubs and spent another hour filling buckets of huckleberries until a momma bear with two cubs appeared in the distance and we left the area.

Cool saw. I might get one for when backpacking. It looks light enough.

I have a pocket chainsaw in my camping gear. I bought it 2 years ago for 5 bux at a flea market. I have used many many times with good results. Nice review Cody.

I love the passive aggressive sarcasm of the lock tight bottles...reminds me of myself when things have really erked me at the place of employment. Time to air my grievances with small stabs of sarcasm in key placement strategy...👍🤣🤣

Need a video on taking down a tree with that other tool (AR) in your Honda.

Man I’m just glad there’s people out there like you my friend. We need more of them

I like this guy alot. You are a man's man ,man haha good videos. I just got hooked on you and so far I've seen 20 videos and I'm with you a 100 percent

I am not religious, but I am a working guy like you. I take a lot of guidance from your family to mine. You dont realise how much help you give to a guy starting up! For that reason i'll pray for you and your family and i wish you well. please try and bless my family too! good luck brother. I have a small lto, just a few acres. do you have any advice for me an my family for how to make it as a good family unit? I want to do the right thing. thank-you cody for your continued help

Me : there is no such thing as a good pocket chainsaw Me later: maybe I should buy that Japanese’s saw

You are totally digging that Honda! I love mine. Such a work horse and time saver

Another great video! Perfect to throw in the teardrop camper in case of emergency... finally buying one of these now...

Us east Coast guys are shirts made a real hickory wood. Tough.

"How do you know" I'd love to hear a story about Wranglerstar heading over the pass getting stuck in the mountains with nothing, but a screwdriver

As an “east coast guy” I like that a city slicker like me could theoretically clear a tree or something in an emergency without accidentally chopping my leg off.

That subtle flex of the AR 😂👌

The all new brushless hand powered chainsaw

New Englander here, haha. I have one of these, I think it's this exact model. It works quite well. I keep it in my hydration pack so it's with me when I mountain bike, it comes in handy for trail maintenance. Just two weeks ago I used it on a probably 8" tree that had fallen across the trail and was sitting up too high to ride over. I only had binding problems when putting too much force on the chain, if I used light pressure it didn't bind. It made quick work of the tree, probably a lot quicker than if I'd had a hatchet, which would have been much more unwieldy to carry with me. Total cutting time was probably less than 2 minutes.

the big plus of pocket chainsaws is their pack size, I store a 66cm/26" one coiled into a small can for airgun pellets. Their downside is the width of the cut - removing more material takes more ellbow grease; not a big deal when cutting down a single tree once in a while, but cutting up large amounts of firewood in an emergency to survive a cold winter night will tire you fast. When using it with two hands as you did, the chain will inevitably bind - unless you attach it to a sturdy curved branch or create a frame saw with it. Keeping the chain somewhat straight helps against binding, can be done handheld by two persons too. Stay safe and take care

Nice video Enjoy your knowledge on the non urban things Very well presented and fair

Yesssss! This is the kind of entertainment I signed up for. And it is just entertainment for me. I’m not exactly handy.

when the mizery whip was used in resinous wood. the Faller carried a small bottle of Kerosene . Great Video.

Saw that being advertised in Facebook just the other day. I thought it looked interesting. Thank you for showing it to us

I got one like that (maybe the same one). Shortly after it arrived I noticed a dead branch on the Japanese maple so I tested it on that and it worked very well - a nice clean, smooth cut. The only I would change would be to make the handles removable so you could more easily lubricate the chain without getting it on the handles.

12" dewalt 20v is a good choice for light duty, no fuel/ noise

Haha nice cheapest chainsaw!

got me to laugh out loud with the loctite elk! Love it! LMAO

Nice view in the bed of the Honda! I’ve got the IWI Z-15… and love it!

Man that first cut was pretty fast!!

8:30 Scary wolves. Lol

Excellent as usual!!!

When r u doing a review on the stihl 500i I’m looking forward to your thoughts on it 👍

Hey, I'm not sure if you have a video of sharpening Axe's. If you do, could someone send a link? I own a gransfors bruks and would like to get a new edge on it.

Talking about the axe and then says how it could kill u cracked me up

Your videos are awesome man. 👌

Could you do a video on the best thing to do with in ground stumps when you get time. Thanks for the videos.

Pro tip: Put the nozzle right up to the top of the chain and barely press to get a small spray(hardly even enough to get a stream) and let it run down the chain. Im a mechanic and have to use wd-40 and other penetrants to loosen stubbern and rusted nuts/bolts. It conserves supplies and generally helps when you want to only saturate the nut/bolt and not have penetrant pouring off of and pooling in areas.

Hello from the South Coast of Lake Erie

I reckon you and Jack working that together would go a treat Cody! You would be able to keep it taught between you and keep it more of a straight edge to help with the binding towards the end. Agree with some of the other comments that this would be great in your dirt bike gear also!

Those things are awesome, for keeping on the snowmobile, riding in the mountains!

You know you can still do gun vids a KZfaqr in Texas called demolition ranch does alot of em different guns n all tanks even bombs

I have that same one and I keep it in my motorcycle camping kit along with my small hatchet. As you mentioned. There are tons of cheap pocket survival saws that are just absolute rubbish and will break the first time you use. This type of pocket saw That is a good quality chain with good handles works surprisingly well. Most people have tried one of those cheap ones and never try another one... this is definitely worth picking up. Great video.

What is your ar setup? Mainly the optics catching my eye. Great video been a fan for years

Thank you for Sharing Cody.

So, "West Coast Man", tell us how it's going in Seattle

100 points for best thumbnail of the week!!

i never questioned the sharpness. i saw the blade edge was extremely shinny. i starting watching you. to learn how to sharpen my tools.

I grew up only about an hour north of NYC. Never had much desire to go into the city. We lived Westchester county, NY, and Fairfield county, CT. Lots of woods, and we depended on them. Lived in a log cabin near Candlewood lake that had a great wood burning stove that we used for cooking and heating the house during the winter.

I love how everyone, not only West Coast guys, forgets West Virginia is a forest state.

Only a west coast guy would call it a “blade” 🙄 lol

When we snowmobile, I always carry a small saw. I've been thinking about buying one of these for the compactness and ability to cut larger logs and trees. Appreciate the review. FYI, I've been using a saw from BCA (Backcountry Access) for the past 6 mos or so; similar to a Silky and has been impressively durable. I'm sure it is just a rebranded saw, but it is a good one and I'm amazed how resistant to bending/kinking it has been.

"The sweetloaf and I" that's the cutest pet name I've ever heard 😁

Nice tool sir In Bitcoin trading there are positive and false trade signals. A good strategy is the corner stone of making huge profit from Bitcoin trading system.

Over here in Pennsylvania. The East Coast jabs crack me up every time. Keep up the good work.

I'll agree with what you said. It wouldn't replace a chainsaw or high quality pruning saw, however, for survival bags or emergency bags, it can't be matched for compactness and lightness.

Great saw to carry while mountain biking!

Thanks for the context at the end buddy👍

what happened to the next coop video? did you ever finish the cedar shingles? i was following this video its been a big help

You should see upstate New York in the fall when all the leaves turn color. The rolling mountains are a canvas of color. Favorite time of year to go camping there

Can we have more videos about the "home" part of homesteading? Food storage, preservation, meals, gardening, and such?

Hey, shoutout to update NY. Even Cody acknowledges there NY isn’t just the city. Appreciate it

i just got mine today! hoping to try it out on the weekend. i bought it for the purpose of processing ground material cuz my camp saw always got pinched. i figgered the undercut would work better. ill prolly have similar results to yours. appreciate ya!

Thank you. I have an about 8" diameter trunk to take down, and it looks like this will avoid an expensive call. 👏

Interesting addition to a go bag, thanks for the video 👍

I love the video but I really loved hearing an owl and a wolf or coyote howling in the background. Drives the point home that you are truly in a very rural area. Thanks for the hard work! Stay safe and God bless.

Hi Cody, great video! What is the size of the axe scabbard for your small Forrest axe? I would like to buy one for mine, but don't know what size will fit.

From SURPRISE, AZ - How’s the road building going. Are you pretty much done with that for now? I was really enjoying that progress.

HEY i’m an East coast man and all i have to say about your East coast dig is i have a 50 and 30 rn Mags for my ARs ;) love the content man wish you and your family well! :)

Acres and acres of alpine strawberries he says so casually. That must be a real treat while you’re out working.

Good review. I often wondered about these saws compared to the cheap useless wire ones. This one might have some merit. Thanks

This is a man who understands the concept of "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it."

I seen this the other day and was wondering about it man you are quick
