Oh ok. Could of been C&C, Jerry Debrie (prob spelled that wrong), or Don Fudge. Theyre all from down that way. Those are just the outfits i know of know thweres more. That's what I'd call some serious production right there. They woulda moved around 6million feet at 1500 loads.

Busy as hell. Amazing how many miles a guy has to drive these days just to kill trees.
Glad to hear you found a new place, all the best.

Your so full of #### that I can smell you from here. Bet money you never have had to find the longest ground in order to save a tree out. I casted a good sized poplar right across a draw yesterday and she bounced like a ball. Had that been a big white cedar I think I would be packaging tooth picks.. east coast wood has its. Challenges, but I don't think there is much of a comparison. LMAO, when half if not more of the cutter populaation dosent even use a hinge and the other 80% uses a giant open face with wedges shoved everywhere you KNOW that #### is easier. All that BS and the job still gets done. That racket ain't gonna work in a stand of 2nd growth with some height and some lead... That's just my opinion though.
You also get alot more control with straight wood above the root flair which is rather important when side hill is desired.

Good to hear, idle hands are the devil's playthings. Keep awake on the road, Sam.

One you get sawdust in your cuffs you never get it out !
You shouldn't be wearing pants with cuffs in the woods. That can be dangerous, and annoying.

Ok so pockets!
That OK I chose my immunity... With distance... as much distance as possible...
Those boots look brand new. Better get them broken in.
They were. They are.
I understand the no cuff standard. I also understand the new longer leg protection standards and the wrap arounds. Does a logger have to pick his poison now - or do the new chaps feature a break away? Just curious as it is time for this firewood hack to replace his old style chaps. Ron

if you're a firewood hack holding lots of 3 foot pieces with one foot while cutting, standing on the other, then get full wraps: lots of calf protection. As a full time production faller, perhaps you would opt for mobility over super maximum protection- i.e inserts, mauybe cutting pants of you want to be smart and all. Thing about cutting pants is they cost so much more, and once wore out, the whole thing goes, i just buy another pair of $36 (max) pants.
damn new wescos are pretty. for us non kuliens people that is...
Or ya could just pay attention to where you're feet and your saw are pointing and like the ghost busters say "never cross the streams". But who ever said I was safe had to much to drink
Yup...the Wesco is a fine boot. Just the rich kids wear Kuliens. :msp_biggrin:

we fall the way we do so people can ask us why. p.s. them is some pretty shoes bob. almost hate to work them.:cool2:
I guess if you wanted to be back in the 70s fashion-wise, you could velcro on cuffs. That way they'd rip off if you got hung up.
Ah, safety cuffs. I bet there is a big market for that....well maybe on the east coast.....
It is Fashion Week in NYC.
