No worries! Just get you a good chainsaw, and a pruning saw.
Mine is the latest cordless, electric chainsaw from Ryobi w/ a 10" bar, and a chain-brake. My pruning chainsaw is the version in Bauer's power-tool line-up.
 
i was working on doing solar lol but with no eletronics it was geting 22 volts instead of its required 12 but many did it move some air lol
 
It’s been a long time but don’t you live at the cursed lake in Georgia? 😐😳 wear a life jacket for sure and enjoy!! Haha.

I love kayaking. Haven’t been since this stupid second elbow rebuild

Nope nope nope I am out of the boat.

Sorry. If there are gators in the lake, then I am not going to get in there on a glorified paddleboard. No way.
One medium-sized gator can capsize that little boat with ease. And where there are small gators you can see, there are big ones you haven’t seen yet.
Nope. I’m not getting into a lake that has gators in it in any craft smaller than a Landing Craft, Tank, with a ring-mounted .50 cal near the helm for easy access. Count me out.
 
You're not from around these parts are you, son?

Maybe alligators have a different disposition elsewhere, but the ones around here are pretty tame. You just yell at them or charge at them and they quickly scurry away. We currently have a 4-footer behind the house here. Poor thing looks miserable with his lake very low due to the drought. He doesn't bother anyone. We had a 6' (eventually 8') one at my childhood home. He'd sun himself on the dock, but same story, advance towards him he'd leave. He was "trained" very well by the locals to do this and quickly learned to fear anything walking on 2 legs.

Indeed I am not, son. I live far away, where we read about fatal alligator attacks every year:

“The victim was canoeing with her husband in about 2.5 ft (0.76 m) of water when their canoe passed over a large alligator. The alligator thrashed and tipped the canoe over, throwing the couple into the water. The victim was subsequently bitten and pulled underwater by the alligator. Her body was later recovered from the water by authorities who captured two alligators that evening, one measuring 11 ft 4 in (3.45 m) long, and a second measuring approximately 10–11 ft (3.0–3.4 m)long.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_alligator_attacks_in_the_United_States#cite_note-4"><span><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></span></a>

I realize that one or two killings a year is not much compared to the number killed by meth or guns or pickup trucks, and I guess you get used to anything, but I still have no desire to frolic in water with gators in it.

I'm willing to bet that alligator was fed by humans...and not given some good 'discipline' by humans.



Even to me, the second video is nuts. We taught our local alligators that land near the houses is human territory.
 
Sounds like you train your alligators up right.
But how is Raggie to know whether the gators in his lake are well-trained or not? And what if a new alligator moves in, who hasn’t been through the HR training yet?
