why would anyone care? I could walk to chicago, walk BACK with a chainsaw, and STILL get more work done in a season with that saw than anyone can with an axe. The damned things are dangerous and inefficient as hell. Even a hand-saw makes them look sick by comparison, because you work much less to cut nearly anything, and a nail, knot, frozen wood, a twig behind you that you didn't see, etc, won't result in a broken saw or your leg or foot's having a major gash in it.

Translation: "My name is JD and I don't know how to use an ax."

It said 'Forest Service Technology Development Program'.

Probably the DOT builds and maintains the roads in the current national (federal) forests.
