My crazy son...

Proud about :-)

Btw..........

And some specialized info

He loves being out in the woods. Thank you, Rapi!

About the buttons we know already. But here I wonder, which one is bigger, Kims or his ... ;-)
Good pov.

My son doesn't have a nuclear button, anymore. I made him throw it in the river.;-b
Thanks, Leon.

That's a mean-looking chainsaw..!!

I have nothing but admiration for fire-fighters!

I don't think I've ever seen one that long. He loves fire season. Now, he is rarely fighting fire, but operating equipment like Cats, water trucks, coordinating supplies and cutting down the "widow-makers" (trees already burned and in danger of falling on the crew). That's fine with me! Running up mountainsides is left to the young ones. I don't know how they do it, even at 25! Thank you, Keith.

A chainsaw for a brave !!

Oui! Merci, Sylvain.

My husband has 3 chain saws but I won't show him this....he will want one!!
Great shot of your son too :-))

Lol! He'll be out of control! Thanks for the laugh, Rosa.

An heroic shot. Good portrait.

Many thanks, Smiley! He does look that way when on the job. ;-)

Ahhhh....Stihl....I hope he won´t take it home ;)
A job to be proud of Diane!!!!

He has his own chainsaw at home, a shorter one. Thank you, Tanja!

He looks proud:-) Now don't let the orange one see the Stihl logo, they are a Swabian family owned firm;-)

Uh-oh! The secret is secure with me. Many thanks, Gudrun!

So, this is for you both.

WOW! That's crazy! The gigantic engines made me laugh. I'll show my son. Here's how logging was done the year I was born: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcEto_Q8MlY

My dad, his brothers and my grandfather were using the "misery whip" before the chain saw was invented. They logged in southern Oregon. Thanks to massive protests beginning in the 1970s, about 85% of the California redwoods (shown in the video) are now protected.

Thanks for this link !!!!
