[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1010538, member: 80288"] Mr. Moa I got woke up this morning (Veterans Day) by an ungodly racket outside my window at what seemed like Oh-dark thirty. Got dressed went outside and the guy that trims my trees semi-annually was trimming up a couple of Mesqute tree's in my backyard. (Damned HOA) Known each other for years and during the "how you doing" type discussion he mentioned thaty he had almost lost a leg about 2 months earlier. Seems he had a spring limb bounce back and knock his chainsaw into his leg. I checked him out, wasn't walking on a Peg leg or anything, so asked what happened. He walked over to his truck and brought out a pair of what they call Chainsaw pants. Pants were cut through about 3 out of 5 layers of Kevlar and other reinforcement, and he said that he was wearing a pair right now. Asked if they were expensive, he said about $80.00 and were made by Husquevarna (Probably mispelled) and were worth every dime. He finished up and left and I got to thinking so went online and sure enough, Amazon had them on sale for $60.00 + shipping. Now about 8-10 years ago, I had a leathersmith in San Antonio make my up a set of custom chaps out of what he called "1/4 " Polished Leather" strictly for tracking wounded hogs in the brush and they cost me about $200.00 back then. Not only that, but they didn't break in for several years and are still a little stiff, mainly because they don't get used enough. If I was going hunting hogs with a rim fire or actually, any other weapon, I think I would have a pair of these "Chainsaw Pants" available becasue sooner or later a shot is going to get missed and someone is going to have to track the hog down. I don't know if they would protect against Hogs, but if they will stop a running Chainsaw blade to a dead stop, I would think they could stop a hog slash. Guess I live a protected life, because I had never heard of these pants before. Hell, I may be the only one in LRH that's not wearing them!...LOL Ordered me a pair and am going to try them, however since I only go hunting about twice to three times a year, it will be a while before I can test them and it may be years before I get into a position to see if they work. Hopefully never! What we need is someone with a lot of hogs available, like djones, to test them for us and see if they work How about it djones, I'll buy them for you if you'll let one of your BIG hogs take a slash at you!...:D Providing of course that they make waist sizes that big...ROFL. Seriously, would not hunt hogs with a rimfire without some kind of insurance in case I had to track em down or go in after them. And if I was hunting hogs with a Bow, would definitely be wearing a pair full time when on the ground. Can't hurt, may help, and are relatively cheap insurance. Just my thoughts!
