Grew up in the mountains. Been skiing/snowboarding my whole life. My wife taught lessons to little kids ages 3 to 10 for I think 12 years or so. I would imagine every ski resort in the US has a magic carpet/rope tow bunny hill at it. That's where a 5 year old whose never skied before will be...
I know a guy who once called the authorities in WY to ask what the fine was for hunting as non res in the wilderness. They told him the number, he said cool, and went hunting.
Its perfect for that, that's what I use mine for and also random shit around the house. Milwaukee 16" is what I have. Make sure you keep the chain sharp and stay up on that, that's the biggest thing. And the bigger the battery you use, the better it will cut.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone in this thread. Alot of anxiety and...
I have no dog in this fight but I'll never understand people like you that have this opinion in these situations. He stayed with his wife for decades until death do them part and now he's supposed to be just be sad and lonely for the rest of his life? Takes a lot of strength and courage to move...
Interesting. The specs on the sig website has the battery life for the new ones at 40 hours vs the old ones at 30 hours.
Very interested in the low light comparison.
There's always been something to "worry" about. Saying "now is different though" is just repeating what every generation before you has already said. There are plenty of elderly preppers out there dying at 80 years old with 40 years of canned food and water because their apocalyptic super bowl...
