I was just wondering how many of you out there have some kind of formal training. Some of the best ive ever cut with were not trained.
 
Woodsrover I love your avatar.

That's Bubbles from "Trailer Park Boys". Our Canadian members will know him! Are you from Acton Arnie? Isn't that where the Old Hide House is? "It's worth the drive to Acton". We were just in Country this past weekend. Up in Katrine...About three hours north of Toronto. Not much snow yet, eh?

Trained at the school of hardknocks. Wake up is at 3 a.m. - 2 hour drive to school. Work my bizalls off then drive home another 2 hours.
 
Training? Is that where they yell at you for two or three years until you learn to quit breaking things and busting up expensive saw logs? Seriously....the best "training" I"ve ever had was from watching the old-timers work and knowing when to ask just the right question.
 
trained

Was trained to go help the old guys take down trees and help pick up the brusch but kept my eyes opened and asked a whole lot of questions, enough to be anoying but its training.

Nice thing about the school of hard knocks is you only have to learn it once.

Cheers!

That's like 30 minutes up the road from my house dude. I've never had any training either. Course I did start taking slabs off the end of the ole' sawmill and helping to move logs with a Canthook when I was old enough to walk, lmfao... Does that count??? :cheers:
 
Learned from the AS school of... something:clap:


Well, Im still learning...


And BegleyTree, what are you running thats 5.45x39? I wanted to snag a 21 Ghengis Upper for my AR to play with the round, but can't find one. Gave up on my Ak's much prefer the AR's
 
With years of training and skill....I can say that having a felled tree in my living room is EXACTLY where I was aiming. And people pay a lot of money for open air skylights.
