Hi all,
This is my first post here and I'm delighted to be learning so much from all the threads!
I'm considering buying 10 acres of woodland and would love to start learning how to properly manage my land. One part of that is to learn about using a chainsaw. (Yes, yes, I know there are many, many other stages to managing woodland!).
And here I've got a small issue: I'm paralysed from the knees down. I walk with crutches, I drive, I ride motorbikes on and off-road, I fly microlights. My disability really doesn't stop me doing much. But standing upright and unsupported, particularly when holding something heavy, is difficult.
Can one operate a chainsaw from a kneeling position? Can it be conducted when leaning against something stable for support?
Are there any organisations active in such an area? Are there any training schools or individuals who have developed helpful solutions to such problems?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Charlie
