No Hardhat, No Goggles, No Gloves, No Shoes

Village tree felling with a large Stihl chainsaw in the Kapuas Hulu district of West Kalimantan (see Danau Sentarum). Even bigger problems for local loggers? No gasoline. No kreteks. [NOTE: Stihl recommends this protective gear when operating their chain saws. Follow the links to the luminous yellow hard hats with built-in googles and face protector].
