Chainsaw Training...

We place gear and size up the job of trimming these three sick pine trees.

Everyone helps out carrying things. Lots and lots of equipment is involved.

The area has to be cleaned and tarps are put down to protect our climbing ropes.

This is John giving instructions on what the duties of a"ballast guy" are. John has forgotten more about tress and how to cut, trim, prune and climb than I will ever know.
