- Lumbersexual is more sexual than lumber.
(rock music)
Hi, I'm Ryan, and I'm a lumbersexual.
- Lumbersexual means ...
- Some guys just like to, you know, fantasize
that they're a lumberjack in their mind.
- Being a lumbersexual is definitely about the aesthetic.
- Purely rugged.
- It's wearing the flannel.
- Grows a nice cheek sweater.
- I didn't choose the beard, the beard chose me.
I've used a chainsaw, like, once.
- I've never used a chainsaw.
- I've always had that fear
that I'm going to, like, drop the chainsaw
and, like, chop off my arm or something.
- I think there's, like, a definitely elevated masculinity
using chainsaw.
- I try to be a professional man.
- I'm chainsawer Casey and this is the Chainsaw Academy.
(chainsaw rattles)
- Whoo-hoo!
- My name is Casey McCaughn.
Some people know me as Chainsawer Casey.
Being a lumbersexual, it's about living life unafraid.
You just jump right in and get it done.
When I saw these guys for the first time,
I thought, "Ooh, nice!"
I really like that lumbersexual look, yeah.
(lively music)
- This thing, it's powerful.
You feel the power. It's great.
- So exciting.
It was like I was up there on stage,
revving that guitar, like, (imitates electric guitar sound)
- It's surprising how articulate you can be, actually,
with the chainsaw.
I found out that I was more lumbersexual
than I was originally.
- [Ryan] I think I learned
that lumbersexuality knows no gender.
We're taught to be men by women
and that was great.
- I like that glorious, victorious kind of feeling
when you do something incredible
that nobody thought you can do.
It feels good. It's worth it, you know.
- Why are you laughing?
It was the best time of my life.
