Trees

[jakothewoods]

Do you own a yard with a tree in it?  If you do, here is a list of items and gadets you really should have:

• A bow saw
• A limb saw (preferrably with optional clipper attachment!)
• A hand-held limb clipper
• A hatchet
• A splitting axe
• A chopping axe
• A rake
• Another rake for your spouse
• One additional rake for each child over the age of six
• A spade-headed shovel
• A flat-headed shovel
• A spade
• At least three five-gallon garden buckets
• A wheelbarrow
• A small wood-chipper

In addition, you should know how to maintain all your equipment.  Read the manuals at least once.  It also helps to have a working knowledge of basic physics (Yes, you can stop laughing Dad) or failing that, a phone handy for calling the hospital.
