I was a tree trimmer for Leonard Tree Service in NorCal before being drafted and used to see some of these competitions, although they were a bit different then. Never competed but was always amazed at how fast somebody could climb a pole, hand cut a log, and springboard climb.

She sure doesn't look like any of the lumberjacks I remember competing in those competitions back when.

I learned a new term today. Lumberjill. I like it.

Thanks,

Richard
