Did you notice that was the base price MSRP?
I would have had to travel over an hr to an evening “course” on chainsaws that I could well have done a better job teaching than whomever the FS had there…for several nights. Screw that.
Around here the training opportunities are rather limited. I took the GOL training so I could cut on NYS DEC and NYC DEP lands for Ruffed Grouse Society habitat projects. The government entities ended up squashing every project that RGS and their forestry folks worked out... management turnover was the biggest problem. The NGO trails... outside of construction project crews I believe I'm one of 5 people in the county working on the trails with training and experience--the other 4 got their training in the GOL 1 class I hosted. Part of the problem is there isn't a long formal history for maintenance on these rail trails... Most were abandoned rail corridors that people like me starting using 40 years ago. The NGOs took control of two of them about 10-11 years ago.
I'm helping train the future trainers. If I'm lucky I've got 10 years of cutting left in me... I figured out that I will in fact not live forever!

It was a joke Howdy! A joke! Maybe not a funny one? Maybe even a stupid one, but a joke none the less. Im sure his Mrs.will just love it!think you may just be in the wrong thread! kid... she's gunna like it, and i doubt seriously if all the gal's statewide will say much...
Not the War Wagon. Nor will it be "OVERLOADED!!!' by hand. You shall see! All in good time kind sir! In the near future. You shall see!i'm wondering what he is going to pull it with... once overloaded!
Two in tandem was also a joke. You really don't think I would purchase a trailer like that to tow behind a 400cc wheeler now do you?hope we will see pullin' pix soon...
Shhhhhhhhhhh!That's nice.
Sure hope you can get the work for it .
Change out a few words and that would describe a Maryland concealed carry course to a tee.The chainsaw course is 8-4:30 Saturday and Sunday, for first timers. Re certs only need Sunday. Saturday is classroom, Sunday is out in the Forest.
Their instructors are fallers with many years experience, they know what they’re doing.
You may already know this, but Im going to mention it fir those that don't Sir.Also blowdowns do have "stand ups" which can startle one. I've only had one of those and it stood up while I was felling another next to it. Change of shorts time.
That’s funny, I don’t care who you are.sorry, i tried to get the P/R thread to open...

A few years back my daughter in law had to take a chainsaw course for her State DCR job. She hammered it and beat all the guys taking the course when it came to dropping a tree where you wanted it to land and the distance it would cover when down. Back in 2010 we had a really bad ice storm. I taught her how to use a chainsaw using a 346XP NE. We spent quite a few days using two of those saws clearing tree damage. I sure was proud of the way she could handle that saw.The chainsaw course is 8-4:30 Saturday and Sunday, for first timers. Re certs only need Sunday. Saturday is classroom, Sunday is out in the Forest.

Good idea. This log was from a standing dead Oak that should have come down a few years ago.That's weird. I ran into the same thing yesterday in a piece of Honey Locust. It will probably crack though. Seal the ends and give it a try.
Don't worry, Global Warming Czar, John Kerry will have an excuse for it.I saw something about a lot of places having the coldest Christmas in 40 years ... must be the global warming!!!
Mine was fresh cut. Dead standing is partially dry (past the major checking period) so you ought to have a good chance of drying without cracking. Keep out of heat.Good idea. This log was from a standing dead Oak that should have come down a few years ago.
So I shouldn't bring this in the house.Mine was fresh cut. Dead standing is partially dry (past the major checking period) so you ought to have a good chance of drying without cracking. Keep out of heat.
I meant out of sunlight. Yes, bring it in which will help it dry. Basement if available would be good.So I shouldn't bring this in the house.
