Hey Gang, I learned something last night that I thought I'd pass on to you all.
In case you're wondering; rope CANNOT be cut with a power saw.
I know! I was just as shocked as you are. At first I was scared. Scared in the way that you get when you're looking at your hand to make sure all of your fingers are there. THEN I was shocked.
And as I stared at the saw I thought, " You know, in theory that should have worked."
Then I used the knife in my pocket, but only because I don't have a hatchet and my chainsaw was outside.
