Hunt Lake Manitoba Narrows

Next in line came the first as a commercial heavy duty piece of equipment for commercial loggers and later high quality lighweigth  gasoline powered chain saws which could be packed away by outsdoormen.

The first of these chain saws may of been fine for professionals in the lumber and woodcutting trades but were more than a bit too much for the amateur to handle , so says Manitoba outfitter Jadran Transcona.  Even for the odd casual woodcutting these devices were to unwieldy if not downright dangerous to have down at the lake cottage or camp or for occasional outdoorsmen and hunters out on a hunting or fishing vacation at their favorite lodge.

While many serious campers bought and used these , they were not the handiest items to include in general hunting , fishing or camping gear packing.  This the manufacturers recognized this need in the hunting and fishing outdoors market for such a product.
