Show me a woman who can cut for production in the falling biz day in and day out and I will start cooking and washing the dishes every night. I may even put out when I have a headache.

I take thats as a bit of a sexist comment i think. I have drop a tree of two around the farm. I'm sure I, as well as many of the other women on here could so it. AS a matter of fact, the more I go out and help derek cut/split/drop/etc. the more he is willing to help around the house. If there were a place around where i live that i could cut for production, belive me i probably would.
 
I thought of Bermie when I read this. Hard to "splain" to your buds you got you @$$ handed to you by 5' 115lb Lady!!!

+1, as did i, i also thought of sawwitch, as far as i know, we are 3 pretty active women with saws. I am about 5'6" and weigh about 165lb. i'm a lil bit stocky, but it dont stop me from what i :heart: to do. There are PLENTY of dudes out therewho are a LOT bigger than me!!
 
When I was back in tech school I had a chance at a national convention to meet other tech students from Oregon or Washington. The convention was simailar to the FFA convention but, just for Tech schools. I was competeing in AG Tech. The was also a Forestry competeion also. There was 2 girls there competein the forestry that would have been close to 6'5" 6'6". I had a chance to talk to the ag tech guys from there school and they stated that both ladys were sawyers for a logging company. All I can say is them girls looked like they could out work most guys and even myself for that matter day in day out.

Don't take it personal - it was not given out to be. I don't doubt anyones ability - just making cracks that's all.

Yep.. Nothing like food prep to get the chainsaws crap out from under the finger nails ;)

I personally couldn't drop trees all day. Just don't have the strength.
Not alot of women can keep up with the guys, nor do they want to.
There are a few things guys can do that we just can't, not for the lack of trying.
Granted there are a few gals here that work with the guys and they get the kudos from me, but dropping a tree or two just ain't the same as doing that all day long.
Sexist or not it is the truth, it's all in how you take it.:rock:

Cutting down a sapling in shorts and thong sandals. It would have been safer and easier to use a pair of loppers. The best part is when she's holding up the saw in "victory" on the end and her old man comes by and engages the chain brake. :buttkick:

Ummmmm....is it possible she pretty much just vibrated that tree to the ground?
