you should be able to find a job in logging. get on that iphone look some locals up and show yourself before they start their day(assuming they don't meet at job site) this will show em youre serious about it plus it tends to have a turnover rate so chances are theres an opening (or about to be ) at one of the companies. I know Ive gotten calls for workers and now and then we hire but I remember one that showed up , and kept showing up at our shop finally we just told him come with us that day and he was a good hand for the time he was here until he went into the military.

Persistance and a will to work even without experience means alot to some companies like I said above. Just keep it up and itll turn out.

"Don't care to work..." means the same as "don't mind to work..."
Its a usage that is common in some parts of the South, usually by older folks.

Keep trying. It's hard to get on with no experience but if you keep after it something will go your way.

Maybe look on CraigsList for companies that are looking for land to log then contact them and ask if they could use a hand. You might find some of the smaller outfits looking for log jobs on CL and might stand a better chance hooking up with them... Good luck.
