Giving my 10 year old Son a couple of chainsaw lessons today.
Giving my 10 year old Son a couple of chainsaw lessons today.
Yeah, he did not want to wear it, but I had just climbed and pruned the tree and there are always a few headaches left over.He looks like he'll do just fine. Looks good in the tin hat, too.
If only I had a chipperDude, that's awesome! I like the part when you said "now do it again" and that should be followed with now drag brush over to the chipper.
Gotta start em young! I got my first chainsaw at 9...talked a relative out of it at a yardsale, and bought my first brand new 535 jonsered at 12...had to pile brush, stack firewood, any other thing that my Uncle required for a whole summer to earn $375 to buy the saw!very cool tarz, this last weekend out at the museum grounds i had my 6 yearold getting choker lessons from a good freind and member "alleyoop" , even learned to coil them up when done. yea i know no pic's it did'nt happen.
:msp_smile:Just a warning....my friends have boys who were started out early and the mom says she always got nervous when she saw them getting their saws. Not because she was afraid they'd get hurt, but she wondered what they were going to cut down. These are the same formerly little boys who quietly hacked up a watermelon in the back seat with their newly purchased toy hatchets, on the way home from the grocery store.
Where are the Kuliens?
Looks better than some folks on the chainsaw forum and he looks relaxed already. Good to see!
Pardon my insatiable appetite for Old Growth,it's how I roll.
I'll play. My then 9yr old daughter with a FULL Race 394 Husky pulling 36" 75CJ(8-tooth there).
Just sayin'.
Just sayin' what Larry? I really hope you are not insulting my kid. I just read through a whole lotta bull#### that you wrote, and I have determined that your mouth is a whole lot bigger behind your computer screen, than in person. I was unfortunate enough to work on a few of the same jobs as you in AK...small world huh? Go spread your bull#### somewhere else.
Never heard of you,but Flat Landers are a dime a dozen and assuredly couldn't hang with me. If you were ever in proximity to me,there was money to be made and I reckon it par for your course,that you couldn't cut the mustard and found it to be unfortunate. Cream rises to the top and Flat Landers shuck and ran...'tis an age old constant.
The 10yr old only knows what you can show him and in fairness that ain't much. So it's a slippery slope by default. With luck,he'll maybe someday rub shoulders with someone with a clue and will be alotted a fair shake. Raw deal he's got currently.
Please feel free to find me mistaken.
The best fallers I knew were justifiably proud of their skills and accomplishments...but they never bragged. Their work said everything about them that you needed to know. It still works that way.
