Hey all,
Just had some questions due to genuine curiosity in the logging industry and figured I would use it as a chance to make my first (and probably only) thread on the logging board. My neighbor is having an 85 acre patch selectively cut for lumber and veneer and I noticed they started cutting late last week. I have full permission to do what I want when I want over there, so I took a walk yesterday afternoon to look around and see how things are coming along. I eventually stumbled across the crew having dinner in the woods. One dude. Just one. He is probably 70% done with the patch already and he is working completely alone. Is that normal or is this guy a real manly man? I guess I expected at least 3-4 guys based on the 2 massive 40' x 16' x 12' piles of logs he already had stacked and ready to ship out in only 4 days of working. Like I said, just curious. I realize 85 acres isn't a huge job compared to big time operations, but I am still impressed that he's going it alone and appears to be making great time.
Thanks and happy cutting.
