North Creek Peeps: Need to Borrow a Small Chainsaw

I really need a gas chainsaw with a 14" bar or even less with a reasonably sharp blade. North Creek or North River peeps if you had one to loan for a few days the week of the 23rd... I would drop it of at Braley and Noxon when done and pay for a sharpen and tune. I'm going to be trying to "flush" everything on our MTB trails so the blade will need to be sharpened.

Also I need to buy a Pulaski. (LOL SBR). Parts of the Red Trail have soil that just needs a little "redistribution." I'll buy one and get cranking when we come up next. Pumped!

For that smaller stuff which the big farm boss doesn't take down I use the saw blade on the brush cutter.
Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.

A good alternative to a small chainsaw: cordless reciprocating saw with pruning blade. If you have a couple of Lithium-Ion batteries, you can get a lot cut with a lot less noise. The blades are cheap, so you eliminate the worry about damaging an expensive chain on a hidden rock.

Was looking to borrow something vs buy.  When I bought the farm (boss LOL) I knew it wouldn't work well for this purpose but I only wanted to buy one piece of equipment.  If I'm buying something new it would be another saw.

If somebody's got one of ^^ those, I'll try it for sure.  :)

Cool idea Camp. Never even considered I could rent one. Spec's a bit of a drive, but if I can't find something closer.  

Probably be worth it just to go into a store, ask for Swifty and tell em Camp sent me.


Still hoping for someone near by to do me a huge.

HAHA...he'd get a kick out of it for sure.

If you ever want to go to Speculator hit Melody Lodge for dinner. It's my personal fav in all of the Dacks for dinner.
