I'm kinda new to this "forum" thing but saw this thread and I've been reading it since I do live in Ar., I know y'all are busy right now but I'm curious... what's gtg stand for, what is it, and what do yall do during the wknd, Do wives go, do yall accept new people, do you have to be a mechanic, etc?
 
Well GTG = get together. From what I understand, there is a ton of coffee and good food consumed. They race saws, tinker with saws, and mill logs to make cants. Its a good way to meet the fellow forum members and learn. I'm going for the first time this year and ill be driving right through northwest Arkansas.

GTG is "Get Together". We eat, race chainsaws, BS, trade saws, eat some more, drink beer (not too much), talk ****, eat some more,,,,I think you get the idea. Good old fashion fun. Wives are welcome. Get your arse there.
 
Unfortunately for me, my new 362cm isn't going to arrive until Monday and the bar for my 550xp isn't going to arrive in time for the GTG either. I may bring my 441rcm, my echo 330t, and my husky 257. My 257 needs a fuel tank vent and the grommet that leads into the fuel tank though so I may leave her at home.

Can anyone think of anything I need to bring? I can bring some eggs or something like that if needed, but it looks like in the past day 7 dozen eggs have been spoken for.
 
Thanks dgb84 and Hindman for the info. Would really like to go but probably can't this wknd would love to next time though

Sorry Hinerman phone corrects me a little too much...

I am bringing 7 dozed cans of pop. If I am the only one, I don't think it will be enough. If you have an ice chest, you might want to bring some pop or tea. Check with Matt.

Sounds good. If you can only come for a day, then come Saturday morning and leave Saturday afternoon. Then you can see for yourself what it is about.

We also have 5-7 charity cuts per year. We cut and split wood all day on a Saturday for charity. We were responsible for over 300 free truck loads last year...we cut and split 85-90% of that. I have come to look forward to them.

I'll see what I can do, it's only about 2 hrs away. The charity sounds good too.

I have extra bars & chains in .325 that will fit your 550xp. Might as well bring it. :)

If there is ANY way for you to come, you need to come. I had joined AS only 2 weeks, at another members urging, before I went to my first GTG. I'm here to say that these guys are the best friends a person can make. And I'll be happy to talk to you about the Charity Cuts. :)
 
Bad news the cedar log is not solid
