Will be using this as a portable shower tent.
Not a needed prep , but a feel good item when showers are not available.
Added some minor items like paracord, batteries, meds, food, but most importantly, I added experience about my garden fails! Already getting better prepped for next year.

Normal and feel good is very important and often overlooked. Good buy!
this evening i cleared a bunch of wild growth trees on the north east end of my property. enough to add 15 (hopefully) fruit trees (still some to clean it got dark) and i'll be putting the water tank sheds up there too. also got enough posts and poles to fence in the garden area for next year. found about 5 more grape vines growing (had some grapes from a friends place go bad and ended up in the side yard to compost, well apparently birds/animals moved the seeds because i have grapes growing all over the place. some very high up in trees others are a good height. i'll be eating a lot of grapes this year.

Picked up two used electric chain saws, both in new condition not even a scratch on the bars...45 dollars for both.
I actually have one of each of these models already put away(they are 1990s models)...they are cheap ones but you can still get good use out of them, about 30 cords before you wear out the composite ring gear.

Do you bring a mobile power supply to bush or drag trees back to ranch and take power from your homes solar system? Cheap cost for 30 cords! Power being free

Either use a inverter hooked up to the truck battery, or if I am falling trees where I cant get my truck near to, then I just use a small genny like a 1500 watt or a honda 2000 would be perfect. I do both, sometimes buck them up in place but often (when I was younger) toss the long logs into the truck and finsh bucking them up at the house.

I gather you love electronics but why all the trouble and from my decent experience in the bush, the grief of a cord? I see your point in a world of less fuel but I would hate to be frigging with cords when working in the bush. Not a critism, just can’t see it being something that would work in an eastern ontario bush and trying to get things done quickly

I dont know your bush, must be somewhat like Albertas. I think its more about what you became used to using and for me thats electric, cords are not a problem for me, use good ones, I use 12 gauge or 10 gauge. I run lengths out to 100-125 feet or more without problems. When you use corded power saws you will think ahead about how the cord follows you and you will adjust acordingly. Give someone who has used a gas saw most of the time a electric corded saw and you will hear a lot of swearing coming from the bush (from tangled cords), so I understand what you are saying.
The strong point for electric with me is that it works, it works every time, no if ands or buts about it. I pull the trigger and it cuts...thats not been my experience with gas saws, or my neighbours experiences, and I know because I have a couple of theirs in my garage that they have given me because they cant get the things started after a couple years use.A saw that works always beats one that doesnt... my experience has shown me that electric wins in that catagory.

Interesting, I cut everything from four inch ironwood up to close to three foot maples. I posted in another section about husquavarna having battery powered saws and how they plan on introducing larger units for bigger trees. I came close to buying one but will likely wait and be tempted again come next spring. You’ve developed an approach to cutting that works, go for it. I think that most people have problems with old gas gumming up seldom used chainsaws. Same thing happens with generators, weed cutters, lawn tractors etc. Looking at replacing my 4 stroke weeder with good battery unit as well.
Happy cutting
It comes down to whatever works for the individual. I've owned Husky and Stihl chainsaws and have found both reliable. They do have to be fed fresh gas, which could be a problem if the supply is limited. I think the future lies in battery saws. I too am waiting for them to work reliably for several years. Clarence, it's encouraging that Husky will be introducing larger units. Like you, I pass on anything with a wire in heavy bush where it tends to be wet. As I said before, I'd end-up strangling myself with the wire or getting electrocuted... 🙂
None you improvise, one (or more) is luxury.
How about topping up your cash? Below is something I came across last week but didn’t have a chance to post.
May not effect you but best to think on it. Cheers
WOW thanks Clarence. I hadn't heard a thing about this potential cyber attack!

So far, it appears to be a hit on an Indian bank, but banks are very proud folks and don’t always 😯 reveal their losses. Most companies don’t. Too embarrassing
Joined the metal working community with a small welder on sale from Canadian Tire. Wont be building any structural members for bridges with it, but it should be good for small projects and learning with.

Hey, how come we havent heard more about this.Where are the projects? lets see some weld pictures?
