Hard on the Tools

I went to my project area at the top of Link Canyon yesterday.  I was coring my first tree, the second core, when I got the increment borer stuck.  I eventually retrieved it from the tree, but it was completely plugged.  Useless until I can drill it out.  Oh well, at least I had the saw.  On my second cross section, a stump, I got through it only to find a piece of rebar in the wood.  Great.  Now the chain was completely dull, and I didn't have a spare.  Two hours from Price and the tools are shot.  It goes to show that, when you're working in ponderosa, you need to have two or three of everything.
