Get Out: Buckley Log Show

Two Man Chainsaw ActionIf you need to experience an entirely different kind of pride, head over to Buckley, WA (near Enumclaw) for the second day of the annual Buckley Log Show. If you're like us, you won't know what most of the events actually are, but you've no doubt passed these kinds of competitions on ESPN2, as lumberjacks go head to head to slice, chop, and climb. It's loud and a bit disorienting, but there's something refreshing in knowing that you can end up a world away after less than an hour's drive. And if you're counting the days until the Puyallup Fair, know that the Buckley Log Show has the same scones (although the jam isn't quite as good).

Here's a video of a slight mishap during one of yesterday's modified chainsaw events. What happens when you slap a V-8 and nitrous on a chainsaw and it backfires? Well, this does.
