Fighting fallen timber with the hand chainsaw

In spring, the damage from winter is often omnipresent on the trails. In particular, this includes fallen trees and other fallen wood that gets in the way of motivated bikers. This can be remedied with a hand chainsaw, which can cut up smaller pieces of wood in no time at all.

The hand chainsaw from "Nature is Adventure" is basically nothing more than a conventional chainsaw chain with two hand loops at the ends. It is not powered by a petrol engine but by pure muscle power in the form of back and forth movements. This makes it easy to saw through tree trunks up to 20 centimetres thick.

The hand chainsaw weighs just 150 grams, has a chain length of 65 centimetres and has 33 sharp saw teeth made from high-quality carbon steel.

However, a small safety warning is in order. Sawing up fallen timber, especially larger trees, can be dangerous. If the tree trunk is under tension, sawing can lead to dangerous situations. It is therefore better to leave the big chunks on the trail to a specialist, while a hand chainsaw is the right tool for smaller jobs on spring tours.
