[ChainPoint] eVideo News...

[ChainPoint Connections]

To All:

 

I am beginning work this week on the Forest Applications Training eVideo
Series from The Rugged Quarter. Rob Lagerstrom will be producing these in
High Definition video. The quality of the series will be awesome- Rob has a
unique talent for filming from an instruction angle and knows how to edit to
maximize information transfer and to simply get your questions answered. 

 

This is going to be a project taking place over several months this year but
we plan to have to you in the next few weeks a great intro eVideo DVD to
explain the series and cover Basic Felling, Limbing and Bucking, PPE and
Sharpening. Many of you have requested them and we have funding to send the
first hundred or so to you at no charge. The rest of the series will be of
high quality at a very reasonable cost. More to come on the details in the
near future,

 

The eVideo topics planned to date are listed here. If you have any questions
or other topics you would like to see covered please send me a quick email
and we will try to get them included. Send eMail's to info at forestapps.com

A few things happening at Forest Applications Training, Inc. and on our
website.

 

.         There are still a couple unconfirmed openings in the March 22-26
Rugged Quarter - Train the Trainer Program. The Monday Intro Demo has
several openings available. Registrations must be in no later than March
10th. Go to the Rugged Quarter Link off our website homepage.

 

.         I was able to acquire some PFERD Sharpening Tools at a price that
I can offer free shipping to you for the month of February. Place the order
on our eStore and mark the freight for pick up. The special is good only
until February 28th..

 

.         Visit our links to some of our Forest Applications Training, Inc.
endorsed products on our eStore page. Gransfors Bruks, Woolpower and Elvex
PPE items. 

 

.         I am convinced one of the best new products available for chain
saws and trimmers is TruSouth Oil's 50Fuel and TruFuel50. Order today from
our eStore and try a case. It won't be long before you may have to. Heard
more last week on advancement of ethanol fuels in all 50 states. If you
haven't read the articles on our website and other websites (just Google)
you should.
