What happens on said trail?

Little woodsman in womens' woods

Before Jacob left Mary stood up "Wait... there is... a tree in the route..." It clearly pained Mary to say this. Jacob took a delight in hearing that. He turned back knowing what this meant. "So... I need to take an axe?" Jacob said delighted with his situation. Mary wanted to refuse, running through her years of memorized safety codes for anything to stop someone small, fragile, scarce; a man in every sense of the word, from taking a tool that could kill him. "My license doesn't expire till next year, Mary. So what's it going to be?" Jacob said with a confident smirk. He was one of the rangers, he knew none of the women liked it when someone mess with their route for the day, even if they rotated each day it was a matter of honor to maintain your trail. And the both of them knew the licensing process to operate vehicles or own tools that could seriously injure or kill men. It was designed to keep tools out of the hands of men, for women it was an argument of mens' safety vs mens' freedom. Some argue men would feel discouraged from expressing themselves with so much red tape, but its a very tall order to convince a woman to let a man enter a dangerous situation, especially if he was alone.

Mary reached into her file cabinet. She took Jacob's file showing the photo copy of his universal tool license, most teen girls have these and any woman could pass the test for one while preforming heart surgery. Though for a man earning this little badge would take months if not years to memorize all the rules required to qualify. But Jacob never let these obstacles hold him down, he was emboldened by them. "I've got a copy so don't bother." Jacob didn't forget the time Mary simply threw his license in a blind panic, she threw it so hard no one could definitively say it ever landed back on the planet. she apologized but she was secretly relieved she had managed to protect him that much. But now she had to face this horror once more. She swallowed hard. She took out her keyring and handed him a requisition sheet. She opened the lockup, they had a number of poisons, traps for predators, tranquilizers and general agriculture tools. She looked along the axes. Some of the girls simply loved showing off, so they had some completely absurd tools without practical design simply means to show off how strong they were to get the attention of men. She took a rather small axe, checked to see it was sharp enough and put on the protective cover. It was about the size of a trowel shovel to her. She returned to Jacob as he was finishing the paperwork. "Done." Jacob said grabbing the axe just above where Mary was holding it. "Wait, gotta make sure all this is filled out." Mary always insisted on this. Jacob groaned, though he knew Mary and the rest of the staff could get in serious trouble for letting something capable of hurting a man out in the public if they didn't mind all their Ps and Qs. But a minute had passed and Jacob knew a three year old girl could have read that sheet by now. He coughed loudly and put his other hand on the axe pulling, Mary's arm tensed, not from strain but from a fear in her very core, though her face stayed the same. "Mary..." Jacob chided. He then propped his foot on the desk pulling with his entire body "MARY!" Jacob yelled

Mary shook with unrest as she put the papers down "P-please be careful." She said softly. Jacob stopped wrestling with her one hand. And nodded. She let go of the axe and Jacob walked out. Mary returned to her work, though Jacob knew she would still worry about him, he didn't like it but he knew women would always think about his safety, even above their own. Jacob's walkie talkie went off "Ranger Stone coming in, we've got hikers complaining about the tree on green trail. Who's on that? Over." The ranger asked on the other end, Jacob replied "Ranger Stone, this is Ranger Maddix. I'm en-route. Over." Jacob began walking before his walkie went off again "Jac- y-yes that's... your day... Oh uh Over!" She said, her professional demeanor waned. Jacob then flipped through the channels on his radio till he found the one "Ut I tried! He didn't make any mistakes in the release form!" Mary said "Tried nothing! You sent a man off in the woods with a deadly weapon! There is no way he can be safely doing this! I'm following him, Mary!" Ranger stone said vehemently. And Jacob finally decided to make himself known "Sophie, you better stay off my trail, you know what the punishment is." Jacob said menacingly, he was no stranger to the punishment games the rangers played any each other when they broke the code of the forest. Typically they'd have to humiliate themselves publicly, most commonly approaching an attractive man on the street and suffer through saying some absolutely horrid pickup line and watch him flee in disgust. And like that the channel went quiet. They knew Jacob knew what they were planning. And with that he made his way to the hikers


Unsurprisingly Jacob found the hikers, two women both of them considerably larger than the average woman. The first was a twenty foot tall italian woman, her most prominent feature wide thick and muscular thighs, her almost skin tight clothes made her physique obvious. Though her muscles were fighting with her face and near ocean of thick shining midnight black hair for the attention of anyone looking at her. And her companion was mongolian, though she was only eighteen feet tall she seemed to have noticeably more defined muscles and much more well rounded in her musculature along with glittery lime green dyed hair braided into a ponytail. Obviously this mongolian was a swinger. Women who grew their hair specifically to attract men letting them swing from their hair in hopes he would find more interest in her than a brief swing from her thick durable hair. And just looking at them Jacob knew exactly what he was dealing with. Karens. Women who would make it their business to hassle working women with minor issues saying hurtful things like "What if a man got hurt?" "Do you know how dangerous this would be if a man found this?" "I'd feel sorry for any man with you!" rudimentary things to try and get a rise from their victims. But Jacob was over joyed to be in the position he was in. "The Park ranger's here!" Jacob raised the pitch of his voice, both of the women shot up and instinctively flexed at the idea of seeing a man, the both of them turned from the tree and looked in front of them "Finally! do you know how dang...erous?" The italian woman's voice cracked, as she and her mongolian friend looked down from their towering and supercilious dispositions as they were not faced with a disinterested woman of their size, but a happy chipper man. The color started to drain from their faces "You were saying something about me being bad at my job? Sorry..." Jacob faked labored sigh, but he was overjoyed to have them over a barrel like this. "My tiny man legs can't move as fast as your big strong woman legs." Jacob said as the two of them scrambled to responded

"N-no no! We-we didn't mean- this is just- I-I but-" The mongolian stammered meekly as the italian looked every which way for a way to turn this around "Don't worry, I'll get this here tree out of your way right quick." Jacob said as he took the cover off his axe and stepping between the flabbergast titanesses watched stupefied at the man who punctured their plans perfectly. "I-Is your girlfriend forcing you to work!?" The italian asked, trying to sound concerned but she was clearly still uneasy with the situation. Jacob turned back with a feigned perplexed face "Hm? Oh no girlfriend. No girl wants a guy like me." Jacob said plain-faced as he acted like the axe was much heavier than it was raising it above his head. But in an instant the mongolian put her hand over his clearly looking distressed "Not at all! I-I would be glad to hold you swee- sir." She already reached her other hand towards Jacob, but he dropped the act, now holding the axe in one hand to his side he pushed her hand away "Sorry, I'm on the job. Don't have the time for romance." Jacob said adamantly. But as he stepped away from the mongolian the italian had planted herself behind him, sitting on her knees letting Jacob back into her, she put both her hands on his shoulders. "I could change that, sweetie. I'm an investment banker, name it and I can get it for you, baby." The italian had gone from shock to pushy creep. Any guy could tell stories of women that would come on way too stronger and just not take a hint that he wasn't going home with her. Jacob was no stranger to this problem. He stepped away from her and gave a disgusted look "Sorry but I'm a big boy." He pointed to his chest "I can earn my own money thank you very much." But the two were further shocked "How did that happen to your hands?!" They asked in shock, taking the axe from him and each of them grabbing hold of a hand from Jacob as the two looked at his gauze looking at them like they were looking at bambi.

"Is your boss doing this to you? We'll protect you!" The mongolian said firmly, the italian once again closed the gap, believing closeness attracts men, of course this couldn't be more wrong. Jacob pulled away, not wanting to hurt him they let him pull away, he picked up his axe and help up his hand in protest "No, I did this myself! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to remove this tree that was bothering you two fine ladies so much." Jacob turned away from them back to the tree but in the time he took two steps the mongolian stood up and got in front Jacob "W-why its quite alright! We can just step over it!" The mongolian said meekly. Jacob shook his head "Now I cannot let a very important investment banker and her friend make that kind of risk." Jacob said firmly, but the italian had stood up and lifted the tree off the ground, with one hand no less "Oh! Would you look at that! I-it was no bother at all! See? Let me just get rid of-" But Jacob forcefully interrupted "Miss! I'm going to have to ask you to put the tree down! We aren't authorized to let visitors do that!" Jacob ordered, the italian was at a loss, her attraction to Jacob made this no less of a struggle. Wanting to impress him, worrying for his safety and just plain wanting him to like her were all clouding her mind, it was obvious her mongolian friend was doing no better. Jacob knew Sophie was somewhere nearby paralyzed with concern, no doubt expecting these women to try and kidnap Jacob.

What's next?
