    OH MY GAWD!!!!! I want one of those trucks. Now that's one tough truck. Not to mention the obvious, but the biggest set of stones weren't in the river, they were on the driver. I sure as hell ain't brave enough to cross that.

    Those are Kamaz trucks, they have a good bit of experience building tough trucks. They won the Truck class in the Dakar Rally this year and lots of previous times. But these are the real workhorse trucks not the racers.

    Russians, nobody ever said they were weak.

    Did you know that Russians were some of the first white men to log Redwoods? Google "Fort Ross"

    "I firmly believe in the philosophy that safety is the number one priority in the woods. Having said that I feel that safety starts with the proper mindset and is followed closely, very closely, by the proper skillset. I think there is a tendency to offset poor skills by buying more safety gear."

    At least someone in russia has a job. You think our economy isn't doin good. Look into theirs. Looks like they got a system that works for them. I doubt Id drive into the river like that but more power to'em for gettin her done. Wonder how many they loose doing that??!
    Love the music too, perfect!

    I would like to learn more about the wide variety of people that flocked to the great frontier to get rich on gold & OG wood. I have herd that alot of us east coast rednecks went out there to make chips.

    I have some Russian friends, Kolitwenzew is there last name. Great great people, easy going to. If they get steamed though, you had better watch it!!!!

    Put a log loader and a front and rear winch on that thing and you'd the Swiss Army Knife of the logging world !

    old fart logger told me once, "wood dont grow where it can't be got."
    his skidder didnt have any paint left on the roof it had been rolled so many times. he stopped working alone long ago. he worked with another guy and they each had thier own landing, and divided up the woodlot, each had thier own area. it was cheaper to have another skidder on the job to put the other back on its wheels then to haul one in specifically for the purpose.

    Turned my first skidder over 44 years ago. Figured out real quick where the real danger is and just learned to stay within that envelope, so to speak. Haven't turned over too many since then, but I have managed to walk away from them all. Knock on wood. I have also had the good fortune to meet a couple of real live Russians over the years. About as likable fellas as you ever want to meet. Tough as nails and twice as fearless. Seeing them in action in that video was cool, but not surprising.
