I just got caulks for 175$ and was done with it, I can also write them off for field work

I worked with a forester who convinced his kids that caulks would be the best boot to hike the west coast trail and at the end they agreed

my pro consists of 8% beer and a healthy fear of bleeding out in the woods.

but no one ever claimed i was really that smart.

The last time i operated a chainsaw after quaffing beers was…….. Never..

Beer for digging days. Coffee for cutting days.

Coffee for mornings of solid cutting, beers for afternoons of slats/putting shit together. Best of both worlds

If anyone hears of a chainsaw course for recreational users, I'm interested.

I know NSMBA ran one a few years ago, and I heard that FVMBA was thinking about it for last year, but I'm not sure if it happened or not.

I did have a course about 30 years ago when I ran a saw for a couple of summers but I'm sure I could use a refresher.
