I do not know why calks are corks, or why a creek is a crick, or some people pronounce Washington as Warshington.
I've only worked on the forestry side of things. Some of what I did has now been taken over by Exchange Students. The good thing? You get paid to run, climb, hike, etc. You can eat anything you want, and stay thin. But, if you get laid off, hurt or for us, promoted up, you put on the pounds.
We don't have ice fishing here. That has been a complaint of a few transplanted Minnisodians. The other complaint is about the 9 months of gray fog and drizzle. Hood River is sunnier than here.
Don't look down on fat people. I prefer the "round" description. I'm one of them. Note the "eat anything" paragraph...then hurt, then got softer jobs in the woods. Some of the round loggers started out in the rigging, grew up in logging, and will still be more agile than you. They will know the shortcuts and how to move quickly in the brush. They won't be as fast as the crew, but they'll be faster than you.
An example? We hired a former Navy Seal. He went out with me to mark timber. Just wandering around looking for faded paint and then repainting trees for the cutters. I let him take the lead. I went to work behind, painting away, and was able to easily fill in the rest of the unit behind.
We stopped, he was mad. He started in at me about not pulling my weight, slacking off. Mind you, I was in charge. I waited. When his rant was over, I took him back and showed him the ground I'd covered. His mouth dropped open, and "How could you do that much?" came out. Because I was on the round side, he thought I couldn't move. I had been marking timber for 10 years and knew how to do it efficiently. He only had the fitness factor.
So watch how you judge. That grumpy yarder engineer was once a darn good hooktender, but his back went. Same for some of the truck drivers.
Randy Mac brought up a good point. Can you stand to get poked, bruised, thumped, and do you know how to fall (body wise) or turn a fall into a not so bad fall? Get up and do it again? You will have all of the above happen, some of it daily. Right now I'm "working hurt". I need to see a foot doctor. But I fit right in, I can participate in Team Gimping. I have been following a "I might git retired" former faller around who has worn out his second artificial hip. At our age, gimping is permitted.
There, I'm telling you the bad stuff, because then you won't be surprised. Buy the industrial size of ibuprofen, and don't flaunt the college degree.
