Can anyone recommend a small chainsaw for light work. Not to cut tree

exhausting!!

There's too much to go wrong. IME, chainsaw blades stretch and blunt
quickly. Sharpening them is a right PITA - maybe a good occupation
during an Alaskan winter - and replacing them is expensive. Get a
good bow saw, a spare blade or so, a good hard file and a saw set. I'm
sure that there are saw doctor videos on U-Tube.
