Another roving sawyer was approved this week. I’m working on getting him the equipment now 🙂
He’ll be a part of JORBA’s Chainsaw Corps in no time.

will chainsaw for brownies 🙄
I was thinking beer
brownies are more resilient to spilling.
I’m up for that. Pick a day and time. We’ll also need some others to help clear as we cut.
I can send an email to everyone JORBA has trained if we think it’s that big of a project. I’m not local so we’ll need some recon.

In my opinion the whole park needs a sweep. It'd be a divide and conquer type event with multiple two person teams hitting different loops/sections? Can we wait until it gets a little warmer? I've been doing TM in the snow the last month or so, but all the extra cold gear and bulk makes the mission harder and longer. Hoping @chainsawer is back in the game early Feb.
Do you freeze??
Kidding of course but would like to help organize an event
Shouldn’t all be on you & ed

Willing to throw down some sweat equity as a swamper. My work schedule involves a lot of weekends but the updside is I can do some week days.
A swamper is a versatile slang term for a general assistant or handyman, historically a worker clearing brush in swamps for loggers,

Happy New Year everyone!! I guess I should chime in with health update. Arthroscopic knee surgery happened on Nov 13 and went smoothly. I'm now 2 months post-op and things are coming back together, albeit slowly. (Healing takes so much longer at this age, unfortunately). My knee still gets painful and swollen after I challenge it. But I'm frequently doing 4mi walks, the elliptical/bike machines at the gym, and I'm on my feet often. I'll probably reintroduce Mt. biking slowly at the 3 month mark, with chainsawing following shortly thereafter, roughly end of Feb/ Early March timeframe. I really can't wait to get back at it.
Happy to see everyone stepping up in my absence.

Honestly, I prefer cold for chainsawing. 90°F saps the strength out of me. 30°F would be fine🤣

Nothing worse than a)running out of water in high humidity and b) having sweat dripping into and burning your eyes as you try to cut.
Count me in to help.
Any preference for dates? I have Feb 28, Mar 1, or Mar 8 open.
I'm away on the first 2 days 🙁. March 8th should work for me.
