My goal

My goal is to get on a handcrew or trail maintenance work on a district, and become more and more comfortable and proficient with a chainsaw be it cleaning one, working on it to make it sharper or cutting down tree's, be it any hanging or on the ground etc. Along the way I want to get better at communicating to people and being not as anxious as I sometimes am now, but I know it's a long journey with hurdles every step.  Just growing in general and becoming better then I used to be is my one goal and enjoying all that I do along the way.
