Timber Sports. Now there's a phrase you probably have never heard. It's basically modern people competing in lumberjack activities. To some extent using modern tools like chain saws. And there are Lumber Jills as well as Lumber Jacks.
Hayward Wisconsin, near where our up north cabin is, has quite the center of Timber Sportsdom. In fact they have the Lumberjack World Championship competition there. Really talented people chopping, sawing, log rolling, climbing poles, that sort of thing.
There is also a regular "show" for entertaining tourists. Not quite World Champs level stuff but with lots of banter, and still many amazing things to be seen. We had some out of town visitors with us recently and they went to see the show.
Afterwards I got them to split a season's worth of kindling. Happily with no mishaps.
