Logging pics

[Jed]

I know man, I hijacked it like an ass. I wanna do like maybe two more years of tree service and then try to get in with some fallers around here. Till then we'll have to rely on the real loggers who don't seem too inclined to get too many pics up.

Burnham: Only too happy to BE around! Thanks for the falling fued... my favorite kind.

Rajan: ...

 

[Bermy]

maybe they got scared off with pictures my little trees...

 

[Jed]

Not gonna happen Fi. Specially since you do some pretty rad stuff.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's not the size... it's their attitudes!!!

 

[Jed]

Bad attitude trees hafta die.

Play day!

Got to go forwarding the other day, made a nice change to hanging onto the saw for the day!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I hope you packed a lunch!!!

 

[Husky D]

I didn’t get my gut from not eating lunch!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do you go all out and make a fire and brew tea and all that? I packed a couple sammichs and chips, back in the day.

 

[Husky D]

Packed lunch for the majority of my working life although once whilst running a training course one of the trainees had a land rover with a big gas burner on the back for when he camped out. He stopped a bit earlier one day and brewed up fresh tea and cooked us all Bacon and egg rolls which we stood in the wood eating whilst it was snowing! Tasted amazing and everyone stood in silence enjoying the scenery and food.

Sounds like a good time!

That's reminiscent of huddling around a fire on the landing. The bullshit doesn't get much deeper than that.

 

[pantheraba]

I bet even in silence the bullshit is flowing.

When I was in highleading we had a fire everyday for lunch in the winter. 1/2hr lunch. You knew it was lunchtime when the fire bucket came down the hill on the carriage/chokers. It had kindling, a few bigger pieces and a bottle of fuel, all in a five gallon pail. Instant fire. In case anyone was wondering, it was definetly worth the trouble.

Always comforting eating around a fire in winter.

Sometimes in a big clearcut we would start a fire on an old stump, it would burn for days.

 

[squisher]

I've done that by accident before. lol. Had our lunch fire get into the roots of a stump.

 

[cory]

I'm not positive but I don't think we stopped for lunch

 

[MasterBlaster]

It all depended on the types of jobs we had.

 

[squisher]

We stopped for a 1/2hr lunch. Only break.

 

[SeanKroll]

How many hours of cutting on either side, Squish?

 

[cory]

I was always impressed that the pnw fallers only worked 6 hours a day in da bush

 

[CurSedVoyce]

About all you would be good or safe for Cory. Seems more accidents happen after the 5-6 hour mark.

 

[SeanKroll]

Still makes for a long day, from what I'm told, travel to the woods and back.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Seems more accidents happen after the 5-6 hour mark.

Ain't no seems to it at all - it's a statistical fact. Plus, Fridays are the worst...
