Not necessarily. Chainsaws do the work, not the person. Understanding how the chainsaw works and how to properly make cuts is the key. I bought one when I bought my home a few years ago. I was a complete novice, but I didn't want to pay a company to take care of a couple trees I lost in some bad windstorms I've had here. I had good practice on a Bradford Pear tree that split in half. I owe my uncle for the chainsaw lesson that day. If you nigger faggots ever have to use one, learn about "kickback" first and foremost
