>>1019274Would a small battery operated chainsaw be viable for self defense against wild animals? I don't want the paperwork and hassle that comes with owning a firearm.
I imagine the lower power isn't a problem as flesh is not as tough to cut through as wood, and the shorter run time also isn't a problem as one way or another the altercation will be over with pretty quickly.
I also appreciate that it's silent so I don't attract unwanted attention, like forest rangers wondering why the fuck I am fighting a wolf with a chainsaw for example
