The point is doc is that people like you (and me) need the expensive saws and gadgets. Those are the safe ones!

I have a guy I fish with that has a saying he repeats often. "Cry once". What he means is that when you buy something, it's going to hurt to shell over the cash. But buy the right one the first time and be happy with it, or otherwise you will be crying a second time

Where is your sense of adventure? Best case scenario is Doc is driving down a street, chainsaw revving, trimming tree branches as she goes by.

Or trimming something else if the cars in front of her aren't going the appropriate speed.

Here you go: The Alligator Lopper
If you succeed in killing yourself with a chainsaw that boasts this many safety features, then natural selection has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Maybe the FD will let you borrow the Hurst tool aka Jaws of Life and you can push the tree out of your way.

what did you do with all the wood after you chopped these trees down?

i would suggest making a very long pole on which to mount a satellite dish

I suggest burning it to maximize her emissions footprint.
