Not logging necessarily, but some pictures.

Man with iron fears no evil.

Steam. It was a glorious era of industry.

When I was up at Shaver Lake, I almost went to the museum there. Saw it last trip. But they often add stuff. Lot of logging history there.
Kids kept me busy cooking and fishing thouhh

I've always wondered what the line pull rating was/is on those donkeys. Must be stooooopid powerful.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hooooge

Whoops, that's a well preserved donkey. If you could find one up here it would certainly not be in a recognizable condition like that one.

They continue to build them just like that even today, and rather than steam they use air. Awesome tools, i once ran a job where we pulled a couple of bore shots over 150 foot, with a welded casing so you could have rock wool pipe insulation, under a road with a 3 ton air tugger and a 30 ton crane. You can literally turn the building itself into a crane, and can do some absolutely huge pics with them. I haven't had the opportunity to do much of that kind of rigging, but i have heard of jobs where they are drifting in pipes and equipment that weigh 10s of tons with them.

Damn, you totally lost me Kyle. WTF, don't you have pictures of this stuff! Yer, only 38 and probably have your phone on you 24/7 lol.

 

[Tree09]

Lol no i don't, most places i work you aren't allowed to take pics, some go so far as no phones, background and credit checks, etc. I have a few tho, I'll see if i can find some cool ones.

 

[stikine]

Damn, you must be the Cyber secret pipe welder.

Some scaling roll out for one of our small operators today. He's getting some real nice wood. Some of the spruce will be music grade.

 

[stikine]

I hate the mud in the scale yards...

Log landings,... icky muddy in rainy season, dry and dusty otherwise. At peak times more busy than a California business interchange. Even in the boondocks.

My best advise is to avoid landings the best you can.

 

[stikine]

Very true, you must be on your game so you're not squashed by a big piece of equipment or a log.

 

[gf beranek]

More that one time I stopped the show on a landing just to make sure everyone knew that I was coming through. It gets crazy at times.

 

[treebogan]

Its not muddy untill the logs start floating.

Wait you stopped the show or the show stopped for you? Tree god walking!
