Equipment

Timbersports is hosted by Stihl Equipment, and therefore, specialty axes, chainsaws and other gadgets must be purchased prior to competing.
=**Axes:**= ====Competitors use Axes in a variety of different events in Timbersports, so a quality, sharp axe is crucial. These may be purchased in stores that sell Timbersports equipment such as Northern Idaho Lumberjack Equipment, Bailey's Woodsman Supply, etc. It is important that one purchases an axe that is comfortable to use, and that they are up to date with proper safety on handling these tools.====

=**The MS-660 Chainsaw**= ====The MS-660 Magnum is the chainsaw that is to be used on events that require power, accuracy and speed. Weighing only 16.5 pounds, Stihl states this chainsaw provides the "best power-to-weight ratio." This can be purchased at a majority of stores listed above, and others. For convenience of buyers, Stihl offers a "Store Locator" which can be found here====

=**Other Equipment**=

Some other equipment that should be purchased for Timbersports are safety shoes, safety glasses, comfortable jeans and gloves. It is crucial that the competitor be
comfortable in what they are wearing. Other equipment that must be purchased includes a Single Buck, and a Hot Saw. Both of these are only to be used in Competitions, as they are extremely dangerous and hard to keep a control of.
