Lol, had to do it. The chainsaw is a standard canoe tripping tool for me and my buddies. Don't leave home without it. We trip almost exclusively on Crown Land, and the only time the ports get "manicured" is when we do it. Sure makes firewood processing fast too, accompanied by a big axe for splitting. I know the chainsaw goes against the grain of many serenity seekers, but I'm sure we can't be the only ones that carry. So, anyone else out there?
This is my buddy Rob, he worked for hydro for years as a twigger, he cuts faster than a two peckered rooster. If you do trips up my way and walk across a port that is clear, it is probably him that cut it.
This is me...you see I carry a knife too, lol. This was a beautiful beach campsite that a huge spruce fell onto. Without the chainsaw, the site was basically destroyed.

Anyway, we still live in a different world up here without many of the restrictions faced by folks in the more populated areas. A few of the kids that I took on trips in Outers and are now adults have started to canoe trip on their own, and they are clearing ports too, with chainsaws. My hope is that I soon will not have to do it anymore.
