I'd be curious as to what type of (if any) competitions are run here (GA) or in Fla. Training would be cool, too, depending on the type.
Incidentally I used to load UPS trucks headed for Winder from the Pleasantdale Hub in Atlanta...payin my way thru school. So if you had any smashed packages back in '87 or so.... Sorry!!!
The Texas State Forest Service provides chainsaw training in West Texas. Check with your State Agencies or maybe even the Regional OSHA office in Atlanta, GA.
