Cuttin it Old School

I spent the last few days at our Guard Station on Elk Ridge conducting what was probably the first official cross-cut saw training on the District, at least in the last 70 years.

One of the things I really enjoy about wilderness management is keeping the old traditional skills alive, like horse packing and cross-cut saws.
