    Had the new cs620p out and took her for a spin.
    Did a lot of limbing so the little Efco did most of the work starting out. Took some random pictures as I was cutting. I hopped around a lot finding reasons to use the new saw:D

    The Echo ran great. Haven’t messed with it yet, I’ll open up the muffler and pull the caps later on. :dex:

    I’ll be taking my time on that last picture. Little hairy. I’ve got the oak that hangs to the left down already.

    Mostly all blow downs from a wind storm a couple of years ago. Oak and cherry ill cut up the pine for the land owner for camp fire wood.

    I bought a 620p last year and so far I like it very well, wearing a 24" bar. Too warm now for me to be out cutting so it can rest till fall. Careful on those spring poles.:thumbs:

    The 620 looks like a good saw.
    You certainly don’t have the brush we have out in the PNW.

    I always notice how much less underbrush everyone seems to have compared to our forests. This year the salal and salmonberry took a hit with the cold dry and sunny weather we had in February.

    Wondering if you eat the berries off the salmonberry? If so, what might they compare to?

    Yes, you can eat salmonberries. They taste like a very bland seedy berry. Not bursting with flavor. Usually lots of moisture in them. People make jam or jelly or sauce but you have to sieve the seeds out. Traditional they were served with the first of the salmon caught in the spring thus the name.

    Here is a cute article about picking and eating salmonberries.
