    Gyppo Logger

    Ms.P- I am not offended at all. My son and i do are "Gyppo" to the core. there are no hand outs here. Wyoming is a right to work state, making Union work here limited to big corporations(mining and power co. mainly). In most of my working career i have been self employed and have had up 17-21...

    Gyppo Logger

    It's a lot like social sec.-someone will always pay the back note for someone else on their front note. Its the sickest most Bastardized form of "pay it forward"(back or butt whatever you prefer)that has been thought of since who knows when.

    Gyppo Logger

    My son(15)often gets into hot H2O @ school for speaking his mind so he is taught to say "in my opinion". Here is mine-this whole thread was started from a Wikipedia quote that was full of political reasons as to the current state of the Gyppo. To me and mine a Gyppo is any kind of person whom...

    Gyppo Logger

    The "Next Generation Gyppo" will most likely log and mill there own timber as well as market it. When the "value added tax" makes its way into our revenue i dont see that there will be enough $ left in the log to support the Gyppo , the mill and a lumberyard

    Gyppo Logger

    I am definitely not a racist but i am for damned sure a culturalist-disliking the welfare culture for one. Can't afford Bomba care and make to much for Medicaid. The Union never did much for me. worked next to some union drywallers/carpenters that were pretty good hands. St.Regis and Champion...

    Salvage On The Colville Reservation

    its unfortunate that the tribe lost so much revenue. Its to bad that the" let it burn" policies and all the activism has led to such a problem. the fires we have seen in the recent yrs. may be nothing like we have ever seen. With more and more of the forests fuel supplies ending up on the ground...

    We have 4 MS 660R's on layaway. They have 32" Suga Hara bars on them. They will be put to use way before any of the above happens, for sure.

    Timber Fallers

    ponderosa limbs are the toughest i have seen on the east slope. very unforgiving. A Kesla short stroke head works very well for this and will run a 120 class machine. it would take a 160-180 class machine to handle some of the bigger bunk logs(4000-6500lbs.)we butt log in the brush on the bigger...

    Timber Fallers

    To bring this back around to "Timber Falling" - this all got started w/ 2 Stihl saws and an S-15 GMC one stump at a time. Now we have 2,5mmbf of timber, a yarder, jd 650G, Franlin 170 dual function awaiting new 6bta and possibly a Cat 518 Swinger. And six chain saws. Thats all in 1.5yrs. Trying...
