Went to start chainsaw and I couldnt even pull the rope so I took the saw and went back to the shack.I had to walk a half mile each way to get where I was cutting.When I got in the shack I put saw by stove to warm up, after it warmed up awhile I could pull it over.Then I went outside and looked at thermometer, it showed -53 below


I love to hear stories like this! Care to elaborate Dusty? Where / why were you working there? What were you doing etc.? Or do I just need to come up to chickenbuck during rifle season to find this stuff out?
