Chainsaw Training

OriginWinter Camp XXXVII (2013)
The StoryWinter Camp XXXVII was held at Silver Trails Scout Ranch after D-bar-A was unexpectedly without power on the 24th. When we arrived in camp, Ranger Jerry Deeg had no idea who we were or what we were doing, but he adapted quickly and found some service projects for us.

One of those projects involved some work with chainsaws and Doug Wilson and Keith King volunteered to help as BSA regulations said only adults could use chainsaws. The rules also required them to complete a training course on chainsaw safety in the form of a video course.

The course took a few minutes to set up and then required them to watch a series of videos. By the time they were done, there was only time left for them to clean and maintain the saws; almost no actual chainsawing was done.
