Wear what you got.
A 2,000 pound tree fell in our friends Amy and Peter’s front yard so we turned our workout into a circuit, and the saw was one of the stations. Working out is cute and all, but this was a full body smoke session.
Some take-aways
- Men are mostly still neanderthals. It takes a lot of pain and failure to motivate us.
- Amy and Malaika set the bar for teamwork, and output.
- 4 hours of work later, we’re collectively about halfway through the cut. Hardwood is no joke!
- Nobody carefully selected their workout attire. We wore what we had. All kinds of GORUCK shoes - boots and mackalls and rough runners and ballistics. Nobody slipped, no saws went through legs.
- Sawing in a deep squat is much harder - either do it or don’t, the choice is up to us. Life is good like that.
We had dreams of cutting it up every which way, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. At this point, we’ll take one mutant cut off the end and then call in the pros (with power tools). Work smarter, and harder, for the win.
