Well I do. I have actually swung from tree to tree, -SIDE NOTE:(yes Monty Python pun intended because I am from Canada and yes I have seen actual lumberjacks dress like that - they speak great French and can fell a tree in blistering speed-but I digress) harnessed in and delimbing tree branches at my camp on Lake Superior -SIDE NOTE: (you are all invited to a Barbeque this May 27th -don't bring your swim suits the lake is too cold still -actually the stupid lake really never warms up but on hot days it is refreshing -there I go again digressing- back to the lumberjack thing), cut so many cords of wood that my hands blistered and bled, stood in swing stance, spread legged, swinging a 20lb crown axe to finish the cut on a tree because the chain broke on my chainsaw -SIDE NOTE: (lucky I had the lean cut done first -it is the cut on the wayward side of the tree lower on the trunk then the main cut setting the direction you want the tree to fall - then you cut on the opposite side till the two cuts overlap. Then in theory the tree is suppose to fall in the direction of the lean cut -ropes help pull it in the lean direction - but I have seen some just go where they want -back to the lumberjack thing again), or watched a widowmaker crash through the tree tops and fold a truck in half. -SIDE NOTE AGAIN:(Widowmaker; a dead tree limb from up high that falls because of wind or chopping at a tree or because it just was your time to die) I have never complained about anything from CA, because well it's a game and I sure have numerous things to complain about -taxes, Lake Superior never warming up, or point out -that guy went through a red light, or inform people that this or that is incorrect in my real life -work and kids kind of encompasses this whole example.

This WOODS MAN axe is very incorrect as an axe to chop wood and trees. But -here is the but- it IS a game and I can't wait to chop limbs and heads.

Keep up the good work CA -it is going to be a load of fun to play- because real life has way to many things to deal me wrong than an incorrect axe handle length that would cause it to glance off a maple tree trunk and lodge into my knee or foot, -SIDE NOTE: (I have actually seen a guy chop his toe off. He wasn't wearing steel toed boots, guess he thought he was a lumberjack.) or an incorrectly designed axehead that would wedge into a hardened knot, splintering my handle at the spline sending me head long into a tumble -SIDE NOTE:(never stand behind a swinging axe I have seen the head wrench loose and sail like a bullet and sink itself into a tree opposite to the one I was chopping - didn't wet the wedges on the axe head so the wood shrank....LOL)

I am ready to buy it the day it is released! -SIDE NOTE:(The game that is not the axe.)

Sykotyk -SIDE NOTE:(music designed for your imagination)
