Wear chaps too! And a damn helmet/facemask
I got 38 stitches in my left thigh, that says you are right. Stihl 039
What a bloody mess. Ruined my pants too.
That sounds like where I would have been a couple times if not for the chaps. S**T happens!
Worse, I was solo in the woods when both incidents happened, and figure I might have bled out before getting to help.
An outstanding investment.
