I knew better coming into this work.
Watch guys go broke waiting for the go ahead. All your eggs in one basket, so to speak. I spent my time creating monthly clients and niche work. If I get a couple clear days, or even partials, I can make a call and pick my battles. Better than trying to eat...
Not all work and no play.
Heard there was a lot of standing about at times waiting on whatever.
Lot of those employed on a recent fire are calling me right now. Can't work in these conditions.
I think some companies include lodging on top of that.
Right now, they might be getting a day or too a week. Raining like a mofo. High winds. Mud slides and falling burned trees. Yeah. Fug no
California is one crispy critter right now. They are working near Tahoe.
Most of what they will cut will get salvaged. The better trees any way. Same is happening here from our last fire. Guy with a firewood processor, a large truck, a permit and harvest plan could make bank selling large...
They make good money. I hear 500.00 per diem is pretty norm. Varies. But some will over work you to get it. Carbon is hard on saws btw. Figure putting some money back to replace them.
