What They're Saying: Caleb Porter

"I actually just got off the phone with Timber Joey and I wanted to clarify his experience working in the woods. So, I will have you hear today that he is a legitimate 'lumberman.' He has worked in the woods. To quote him, he has 'cut, milled and built things out of wood' and he did go to a school of forestry in high school. So, I think he's legit."
