Not unless Im leaving civilization.  They frown on me cutting trees down at the park. I was re-roofing a clubhouse the other day. I had to trim their maple away from the roof so I sent back a little farther and got a stave out of the deal.  ;D I do keep a pair of pruning sheers to collect arrow shoots though.

I always keep work gloves, 3 hand saws, a hatchet, and a pair of snippers in my vehicle.  I don't cut down any living trees, though.  I raid piles of discarded tree trimmings.  ;D

Behind the seat of my truck is a pair of loppers, a tree pruning saw, a hand ax, a few hanks of rope and a 20" snatch chain(and battery jumper cables  ;D ).  When I go for a morning or evening walk in our woods, I carry a pocket knife, folding pruning saw and my old faithful Felco #2 pruners. Ya never knows when ya might find something usable!  ;D         Pat

My truck has a milk crate with a hatchet, pruning shears, knife, trash bags for road kill and a bow saw. If I know I'm heading out where I may get a chance to cut a tree the chainsaw gets tossed in also. Of course its illegal to cut live trees on state and federal land here in michigan ::)

I used to, but we've got so much wood now that I've quit carrying the saw around so I'm not tempted...there's only so much storage room in Pappy's barn and shed and they're busting at the seams now! ;D >:D

Only dumb question is the one that don't get asked ;D. I always thought having a few tools in the truck was mandatory, hand saw and pruning shears minumum :). Oh, and glue or can of spray shellac..

That makes me sad Greg.  It is so much fun to drive around and obses over wood.  I will make a trip out and we can go cut a bunch of wood and fill my truck.   Or we can fill the truck from the shed and you can spend a couple of months watching every stick on the side of the road to see if it will make a bow.  ;) Of course I am only doing this because I like you so much.   O:) Justin

 Never carried tools around with me, what I did do was keep a network of spies. I told them all " if you see a bulldozer headed to clear that vacent lot, the one with all that osage growing on it, give me a call".  My spy would give me a call, I would rush to the lot and the dozer operator or owner always gave me the osage.
