I know David Michael, what a great guy!

I don't know if you know, but he is the author of the textbook on crosscut for the USFS:

Saws that Sing

Yeah he was a great instructor, I already had his book before going to the class but it wasn't until it was almost over that I knew it was his book.

You can't get much better then being taught by the man that literally wrote the book!

The PCTA is having the CPR and basic first aid training on April 6th and May 15th, once I get that I can actually get my certification cards although I don't think I will get a chain saw card and wont bother trying again unless something is worked out because it's a waste of my time.

Wait a minute! You didn't just have David Michael, you also had John Glenn as an instructor!

Whoa!

I think two years back, John (who I've worked with), won the US Forest Service Primitive Skills Award, given to the single individual IN THE COUNTRY who has exhibited the highest accomplishment in these skills.

That WOULD have been a great class!

Yeah I wanted to mention John also but all I could remember was "John" lol

He was a great guy also, I didn't have any complaints with the class.

Ironically enough Steve mentioned my doing trail maintenance right when I was going to dig this thread up again on the subject.

This year is packed with Student Conservation Association (SCA) work projects due to federal stimulus money they are receiving. I am heading out to the project on Section G hosted by the PCTA this Friday and then hopefully I will attend the Walker Pass project working Section F for the full 10 days starting November 3rd.

But those of you in SoCal should check out the schedule since all of November and most of December so far has work scheduled!
