Sorry Ron, looking up THP just proves to us that you can really do your research. We need you. Better start packing.
What Would It Be Like If We Were All In A Logging Camp Together?

Oly, we're conducting an on-going sense of humor test here. So far your grade is "incomplete".
Olyman, can't you relax for one moment and have a little fun? Life is too short as it is. Ron
It isn't just the yarder to have to worry about. One also has to know which buttons work the carriage.
Bob, we think alike on many camp issues. An official role for me would likely be redundant. However, I do clean up well, if the need arises. Ron
Bouncing around here in the backseat as my youngest daughter drives, I would like to pause and thank Gypo for starting this thread - a great diversion from my present danger - only 120 miles to go. Ron
I see what you did there
Paint gun elitism?
Maybe. The Tree Coder seemed to me to splat more paint, so we can say it is more "liberal" with paint and would therefore be elite.

I live pretty close to the Nelson factory, maybe I can pick up a truck load of extra paint on the way out. You know, for "fixing" rmz's or marking a better corridor here and there. Which colors should I grab?

Serious question. I spent the morning bucking and skidding a giant flood-felled red oak. Every time I stop to unhook, the hook is under the log, or wedged against something heavy. Do the winches y'all have on u'r real skidders keep this from happening, or is that just part of the joy of chokers?

Sometimes I'll work on the stuck choker last, then repeatedly winch and drop the offending log. If that doesn't work I'll buck off the butt end if it's a lower grade. If your chokers aren't pinned you can just bunt it with the Dozer blade.

In this camp we should have a basketball team. I can see Oly on Bob's shoulders to do a slam dunk like in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

There was a time not long ago when the FS sent out chunk inspectors. These some how morphed into Sales Administrators. I see they are now calling themselves ForestersWell, in the land of massive overkill, you'll need a purchaser rep and a field rep. We Forestersneed an OFFICIAL person to discuss such things with. I agree on the shortage of the rigging and yarding crew. Maybe some mideasterners want to come out and learn about steep ground and butt sliding.
I'd like a little refrigerator in that pickup, and some 12 volt boot dryers.
Coolers, boot dryers, next you'll need an assistant to bring you coffee I think I can speak for the riggin' crew. All they want are straight chokers and lift mabe a little fried chicken sent out on the riggin' at lunch and of course a case of beer in the culvert at quitting time. Oh yea, a draw every Friday.
There are three different nozzles for the Nelson. One sprays a wide fan, one a fat stream, and one kind of in between. The newer guns have a longer trigger and don't need the can adapter, so they're smaller and don't wear your hand out as fast.
that would be easily possible,,except a certain two are against it..and are only interested in demeaning anyone that doesn't tow their mark...............
