There have been times when I could have used a chainsaw but:
1) I was in a wilderness area where chainsaw use is restricted to 
authorized users in specified situations. I was not authorized user nor was 
it a 'legal' situation. It would have been more *convenient* for me but 
convenience is not sufficient to meet the criteria for chainsaw use.
2) As I observed before, I'm rarely in a hurry when I'm in the woods. 
Slower (more physical) methods of cutting the wood are a good excuse for 
both exercise and lingering in the woods.
