With a post like that I''ll bet the offers will be phenomenal!

Sounds familiar You must have experienced driving on what I call. Weyerhauser pea gravel( that grade is anything they can scoop up and dump out of a dump truck) although they have gotten better down here the last few years,

Most the clampline carriages I have seen were ACME brand carriages, Humptulips explained it right on the money as far as how they work, definitely have to be fast and accurate blowing whistles to it, and the yarder separate bugs of course then if the function box in the yarder wasn't working we...

Climbing gear is important in logging. Most good Hooktenders have to be able to climb, rigging lift trees, and intermediate supports, and be able to top trees as well, climbing is definitely an important part of logging.

Felling! Yep, don't know of many if any, felling and trimming jobs around my area, or even bucking and trimming. If a guy was lucky he might find work falling, and bucking maybe even limbing. But probably wouldn't have much luck if he went around asking about felling and trimming work.

wescos? I wasted my money on a pair once, unless they vastly improved since 1998. I honestly wouldn't wear a pair if they were given to me, unless I had no other option.

all the above and then some I think the worse stuck I seen was a D8 moving a 90ft thunderbird tower buried in a soft spot in a road, they also stuck a skidder trying to pull it from the front, and D6 pushing from the back. I walked the shovel back over and we started unsticking equipment...

boots If You don't want insulated boots, my guess would be that You are more concerned with You're feet staying dry rather than warm, and dry. Hoffman makes a good pac, but as for my own opinion from my experience I prefer the Danner Super Rainforest that Hoffman sells as a caulk boot, they are...

Good boots For the most part you gey what you pay for. I have found White's, and Hathorns hold up best for me. Had O.K luck with Wescos as well, but don't care much for the oddball cork they use in most of the Wescos.

power bucked!! No saw involved after it hits the ground nice and hard!Go to my page and see for your'eself I'm human, and it happens sometimes, not a good thing though, unless you like wasting good wood. Burvol where the heck did you find that flat ground in that picture on the first page...

Enjoyed The no nonsense, no sugar coat posts. Hey, take care! hopefuly someone else can step up to the position of ironing out the not so experienced loggers, and not so experienced cutters. I liked seeing posts from someone whom had some real world experience behind them. I don't think...

Give Your'eself sometime to get in shape. I started under, and through the years have worked under some highballing yarders when I couldn't find work cutting. In my experience setting chokers, pulling rigging, and some of the hookin, for the most part was way more physically demanding than...

hats I learned a long time ago throwing, kicking or jumping on or around You're hard hat is good for blowing off steam. I also learned don't get to carried away on steep ground or allways send it up hill, keep in mind at some point You need to go down and get it, then come back up the hill...

That's funny! Don't forget to add Hey to the end of pu$$ies that would help with the beating out here, wearing brand new rigging pants, hickory shirt, suspenders, and a new leather saw pad wouldn't hurt either! Good luck it can be an up down roller coaster of a way too make a living better have...

some past testing results It's a toss up whether they dry faster, or just shed and leave the wet hair!

I'd have been happy to have some rain today! After chaining up to get to work today, inorder to work in about a foot and half of snow for a few hours, I almost missed the 50mph gusts blowing around on Monday!

Log truck drivers. Well, first off it takes a very special, unique individual to be a good log truck driver, most I have met seem to have come from the same mold or atleast close to the same molds ( not saying that it's a bad thing). You have to know everything about everything, especially...

Dropped fast in my market I agree with Burvol when it dropped it dropped, and dropped fast, in late 08 early 09 export logs were nearly going for what standard doug fir was in 06-07, and pulp or utility wood damn near is matched up with whitewood rates. And yes expenses have gone up for...

I agree 100% That's what I've been noticing alot, there are quite a few fly by night, poorly experienced, sh##t producing, underbidding, self proclaimed fallers, gathering up a decent percentage of the work in my neck of the woods. Some of them I know, and have seen the results of their...

tongs I'd use a choker, I have messed with tongs long ago, don't think much of em for skiddin, I'd use a choker, I have used tongs under a high lead operation to pick up and drag old growth a short distance if they were ground pounded, and not feasable to dig a hole under to run You're choker...
