Thunderstorm Downed Trees on Road: Chainsaw Time

Homesteading without a chainsaw is like sailing without a boat. We have 50 acres that are primarily forested. We have rocky, steep terrain with shallow soil, so high winds often bring down weak or poorly rooted trees. The last storm to blow threw brought a Big Leaf Magnolia down across the low road, blocking our access to the pond. The tangled mess of snapped branches, bent saplings, and the trunk can only be cleared with a chainsaw. The rest of the road is weed-choked and needs cut, so weedeater and hedge clippers make the tool list. And who can pass up ripe blackberries on the roadside.
