    Do chainsaws still snap and maim their wielders when they hit rebar in trees?

      They sure do! And they still ruin expensive lumber mill equipment. Just a few trees can make an entire logging job unprofitable and not worth the risk.

      Bonus, it’s a felony to spike a tree, so you’d qualify for being president as well!

          Hypothetically, I would look up how to do it.

          But, if I had to make something up on the fly, I would get a length of rebar and cut it in half at an angle so you get two equal lengths spikes, then I would find out what size trees are most likely to be targeted in a logging campaign, then climb up to that height on the tree and hammer them in.

          Hypothetically.
