    Talk about safety, please consider that you could also leave a widow should the chain fly off the saw and it severs the artery in your leg because you are not wearing chaps. Also, if you value your eyes, please wear safety glasses as well. Both are essential when using a chain saw.

    You only complained about the broken tractor switch, but what did break? Mechanical, electrical? Is its construction to weak or do high currents burn the contacts? If electrical, you could think of adding a heavy duty relay as one in cars where the dashboard switch controls is and the relais does the heavy lifting.

    That chain sharpener reminds me of the time where my neighbor's grandmother sharpened her push mower's blade by picking up the mower and using a grinder on bottom side of the blade.

      Be mindful that every set of batteries makes you lose power by not being 100% efficient in the charging cycle. In an extreme example, your solar panels charge your house batteries, which charge a portable power station, which charges your chainsaw batteries. Before you know it, you're losing half the power you're putting into it. But, I can see why cordless is more convenient.

    You seem to have reviewed a number of power stations over the last three or four years. Instead of constantly reviewing different brands, especially those that have given sponsorships, why not do a comparison of the Echoflow, Anker, Jackery, Bluetti, etc.? You can certainly make the basis of your comparison the best power station for home back up, whether or not you’re homesteading.

    I understand that you need to incorporate paid promotions in your videos for financial reasons but I guess brand loyalty suffers as well. This is at least the 3rd brand of a backup battery power source you have promoted with the other 2 being Bluetti and Ecoflow. To be fair maybe you need to do a side by side comparison of the various brands and rate them according to performance and price.
