Here is info on a one day seminar put on by a forest engineering group and also part of the Association of Oregon Loggers credits program. I went to it a couple years ago. I had trouble finding my pickup in the parking lot. The area was full of dirty white Ford pickups.
Note that one topic is non guyline yarders (yoaders).
