How many chainsaws do you have? I have but one, and it's low mileage,
because it scares me to use it. I do use it, but man oh man...high anxiety.

I guess you don't go up a tree with it then ;-)

Maybe an electric is what you need. These days they are pretty good,
no gas to fool with and they start every time. I use mine for little
jobs and crank up the gas saw if I am getting serious.

No, I don't go up trees. Ever. I do have a good ladder I can use, brace
properly, and cut off a tree limb I can reach. I don't have any problems
starting or running the chainsaw. I don't see where an electric chainsaw
would make me feel less nervous.

They are just a lot easier if you are just cutting a few limbs. No gas
problems. (mixing fresh, using it all or dumping it etc)

It's the moving parts that intimidates him.
