I'm upgrading my chainsaw safety equipment before heading into a new season of cutting. I already have a good helmet and gloves, but I’d like to hear what others consider essential. Any must-haves I should consider?

Definitely invest in chainsaw chaps. I didn’t wear them for years, but one slip changed my mind. Also, make sure your boots are steel-toe and grippy, wet logs are no joke. A high-vis jacket can help too, especially when you're deep in the woods or cutting close to roads.
I’ve used various brands, but pairing a reliable setup with solid tools is key. I run with a setup that includes Kevlar chaps, noise-canceling earmuffs, and forestry boots. My chainsaw is a Husqvarna, great balance and less kickback, especially useful during long days on uneven ground. If you're researching tools, the Husqvarna https://husqvarna.pissedconsumer.com/review.html page helped me gauge how others felt about specific models. No equipment is perfect, but good gear plus real feedback can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.
