I WANT TO CLEAR A PATH WITH A CORDLESS RECIPRCTNG/CHAIN SAW, WHILE
CARRYING A 20 POUND PACK SO I CAN REACH OVERGROWN FISHING HOLES. I'll
PROBABLY BE CUTTING SOME 2-4 IN. LUMBER IN A FEW PLACES. I SAW THIS
MAKITA (CHAIN SAW) THAT WAS  EXPENSIVE AND I WAS LEANING TOWARD A
RECIPROCATING SAW. WEIGHT IS A FACTOR HERE AS WELL AS MAKING A SERIOUS
PATH W/O JAMS AND BLADE CHANGES. I FIGURE IM MISSING THE SIMPLE
SOLUTION HERE, BUT I NEED TO BE DISCREET IN MY APPROACH TO THESE
PLACES. A BOW SAW WOULD KILL ME DEAD.
ANY SUGGS ARE APPRECIATED.

Hi, mrk362-ga:

How long a trail do you plan to clear, in rough terms?

regards, mathtalk-ga

Im lookin at a half mile of just lite/med. stuff around this pit and
tryin to make 3 or 4 openings thru 10 to 15 yards of thick stuff. I
think I mite just do this in one trip and come back to fish it later.
This pit has monster bass that havent seen a lure in more than a year.
The sound of a 2stroke is out. Ill make two trips if I need to.

I'd take a machete:
