New website of interest to wilderness trail maintainers

[ATsawyer]

For those of you who maintain a wilderness trail section or use traditional tools, this site just stood up. Focus is crosscut saws and axes, but everybody posting seems to be a trail maintainer somewhere:

Wow, finally a forum for everything now eh? I'm really happy to see more traditional tools in trail work, it is the only way to go in my book.

Neat. I'll check it out. My husband and I had fun removing two 24 inch humdingers off the trail in our section near Bly Gap last weekend. You have to get much more creative if you can't use a chainsaw.

Proficiency with a crosscut saw also makes you a much better chain sawyer. The time spent sizing up your cuts translates into more careful sawing, particularly after an ice storm or hurricane when those trees are freshly fallen and full of complex binds.

Now if I could only borecut with my Chinook........
