Hello from Oregon

[jear_bear97]

Hi, I'm Jarred. I'm 27 and a Marine Vet (0351). I'm from Maryland originally but I live in the Rogue valley in Oregon these days.

I did 2 season of wildland firefighting as a Sawyer in Oregon and I fell in love with saws. For some reason I keep buying old saws and trying to fix them.Its for fun. That's how I found this website. It seemed like everytime I looked up some information on a saw I would see a link for it. It has already been an extremely helpful tool for me so I decided to sign up. My firefighting days are over for now but I still do volunteer work using my saws for a local organization that gives the wood to people who need it (Lots of people use wood heaters to make it through the winter out here).

As far as my saws go, I'm up to 9:
- Fully rebuilt by myself Homelite 550
- Stihl 056 AV Magnum 2
- Stihl 510 (or S10?)
- Stihl 021 (4th pic. I know it's silly, I can explain)
- Lombard Comango
- McCulloch TimberBear
- McCulloch Pro 10-10 Auto
- McCulloch Super 44A
Oh and #9 I picked up two days ago, a Husqvarna 455 rancher.

Welcome friend! We're in the same fish bowl and sounds like we're into the same shenanigans! It would seem you caught the saw fever(mine never went away lol) but you'll come out of it proficient in any saw you can get your hands on! One good thing about this area is the abundance of equipment for free or trade at most very cheap to keep myself busy in between jobs.
If you wouldn't mind sharing, what's that organization you volunteer for if you could shoot it to me in a message, it'd be cool to do something decent during the gloom ya know. You don't have to tho, no pressure. I most likely won't respond timely I'm gonna be building/firing up a new forge today!
