Andy, I've been told I'm on official kid duty... so I guess I'm screwed for the trail cutting. I may see if I can get a sitter for the day... we'll see.

Worst case, I'll be parting the Wagoneer and getting rid of $tuff. So not a total loss.

DAMN IT!

That sucks... oh well, Bill and Tom will have to lead up the JFC crew then...
 
OK... so who has experience dropping trees that are 16" in diameter or more and around 40ft high? There are a couple of tall dead trees that will need to be cut down for this trail, and there will be enough people around that someone with experience (with a spotter too of course) should take the big ones down so they don't fall on anyones head.

I can do it, but I will probably be out ahead marking the trees to be cut, and then they can just be dropped behind me. If you have experience dropping bigger trees, find me right away.

Also... if your bringing your chainsaw, don't forget your safety glasses!!!

Thanks gents, this is gonna be fun!!

my dad is very experienced with taking down bigger trees and he'll be with me.
 
Im curious just what the chainsaw to nac member ratio will be there... pretty high i am guessing, i know ill have one.
 
Hey guys, I'll be there on Saturday with things I can hurt myself with.

Knowing you, you just might.

pussy that's when I'm leaving mine. there is no one on the roads that early in the morning
 
I cut 2 trees down in my vast lumberjack experience..I managed to not have the tree land on me..So that's a plus. Also, I have watched a bunch of "swamp loggers" and "Extreme Loggers" episodes on the History Channel.. Looks pretty easy to me. Call me "Qualifed"!:greensmok

Well looks like I have someone to cover for me. Only thing that sucks is I'll be working til about midnight or so the night before so lack of sleep is gonna suck. Probably won't be wheeling in the afternoon but I'll bring whatever tools I have for the cutting.

Yeah I watched a heart transplant on the medical channel one time, I think I am "Qualified" too!!
 
I worked for a tree service one summer. We cut down some BIG trees. I pretty much just fed branches into a chipper all day, does that make me qualified?
