2017 Chainsaw Class Dates Announced

The March class works for me.

Hey Kris I don't think I'm going to make it to the March class if you can pass it on the Kyle.

We're going to be here a few more months at least

I can't make the March class but please let me know if a late March class is added.

The March class is good for me we can check with Robert tonight at the meeting.

I have access to 4 adult and one infant CPR manikins if we want to do our own class CPR class. Is this something we want to schedule while the weather is still bad so we can go play when the weather is nice again?

I was originally signed up for the March class & still plan to go if the February class hasn't bumped me out!

Thanks to the storm last night, it looks like I will be having my own, private chainsaw class on my property! This oak tree is huge. Look at it compared to the size of the gait. It's probably 250 plus years old. On the positive side, there will be less shade on the swimming pool and plenty of firewood for a few years!

I have a flat bed trailer and access to a saw mill.  Any chance I could buy that long straight section of trunk off you?  Assuming it isn't rotted out.

I was going to cut it up for firewood because I'm getting low on wood for next year but we can talk about it. I wasn't planning to cut it up until we get some dry weather so no rush on my part.

Thanks Gil, much appreciated! I also have a 20" bar on my saw. I will let you know if I need help.

We can pitch in also if the timing is right, and you need the help.  Looks like fun!

Kris,

You make MacGyver look like he was playing house!  Man, you have every resource available for the most random things I've ever seen!  LOL!  😀

Kris...As the chainsaw class is coming up soon, will you have the details as to the location(s), times & any more details for both days?

Saw where the class has been moved to the 17th-18th.  Do you know, Kris, is everyone that signed up for the 10-11th are still good to go with this new one?  Thanks.

Guy and Lynda said Saw where the class has been moved to the 17th-18th.  Do you know, Kris, is everyone that signed up for the 10-11th are still good to go with this new one?  Thanks.  

Everyone has been automatically moved to the 17th-18th and they are still planning one additional class TBD.  I cant make the 17th-18th so if anyone can go, please do.  After this winter there will be many trees down so we will need as many people as possible with certifications for the patrols (likely more than 2 this year due to timing of snow and the potential for trail work).

I'm unable to attend the class on the 17th-18th. Please schedule me for the next available class after that one. Thanks!

I can't make the 17th-18th class either. Please schedule me if they add another class.

I'm out next week as well, we are packing to move into our new house.

Darrell and Jill said I'm out next week as well, we are packing to move into our new house.  

good excuse congratulations

From Kyle:

"We will be meeting at 8 at the Placerville Ranger District office Friday, and Saturday, out in the field, location to be announced Friday, but it will be local.  Bring a lunch and any safety gear you have (Eye protection, gloves, chaps, etc.).  We will provide gear to anyone who needs it.  If you have your own saw you are more than welcome to use it for the field day, but we can also provide a saw if needed."

For those who cant make this date (a few of us), I have notified Kyle of the need for an additional date.  We will have at least 7 slots open to our club so let me know who wants dibbs.  I have added maybes from the club just to fill slots.

  Potential Extra Class: (date TBD) 1. Darrel  (may have already contacted kyle separately) 2. Jeff R  3. Rich 4. Mike  5. Me  6. Abby (will be with me) 7. Andrew (will be with me)

Thank you for keeping me on the potential next class. I sure hope we're not here much longer.

So it was a great class.  I learned a lot about cutting with and handling the chainsaw. A whole lot of information this weekend.  Guy and I cut a lot of trees today. The seneros and the trees they found for use was great. Overall a fun class the instructors explained everything before, during and after our cuts.

Guy has got me fired up about how good the class was. Kris if there's room please add my name to the next class.  Ok???  Thanks!
