Your Mother Wears Lumberjack Boots

My mom informed me a cou­ple of days ago that she got cer­ti­fied in chain­saw safe­ty at the park last week. No, she’s not plan­ning on tak­ing up log­ging as a new career path. She want­ed to be versed in how to use one in case of an acci­dent out in the park and she would need to cut a tree to free some­one. Now that’s being pre­pared for any situation.

  1. I gath­ered that it was for Nation­al Park Ser­vice empoly­ees only. I think it’s just for being allowed to oper­ate a chain­saw while on park duty. I doubt it car­ries any weight out­side the NPS.

  2. That’s real­ly cool…How many mom’s are cer­ti­fied in chains­saw safe­ty! (Not enough)

  3. This is real­ly cool Jason. Thanks for the idea. Meg said she want­ed to use the chain­saw. I told her she need­ed to take the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion course first. I am still wait­ing for the certificate.
