Tool question
Mark, if you had to
pick a single tool to take with you to another farm
like the one you have, what would you choose?

Thanks for the question.
It didn't take me long to come up with an answer to this one. The Stihl
chainsaw would be my choice. You can get an attachment these days
that can turn any chainsaw into a heavy duty hedge trimmer, which would
be handy for clearing a new place. Firewood production would be my main motivation.
If you've got the time and talent a good chainsaw can also be used to make some impressive wood sculptures.
