Now I kill trucks
Good load.
Maybe so. But in your next life...
Based upon my casual observations, to survive I would have to return at least 10x tougher and start young. Ron

Ron is not welcome on my job, but I basically think of him as one of you pro boys. (I however proudly accept Barney Fife).
Jon, how many times do I have to tell you the ladder goes in the bucket - you'll get more reach.
I hope Meng soon gets back to posting. Watching reruns of Yukon Men and Alaska, The Last Frontier is getting old.

I'll add that picture to my "Don't be this guy" file. I've been doing saw classes for the Land Trust and a couple of other trail groups. The people are enthusiastic, resourceful, determined and inventive. It's the inventive part that I worry about.

You have full license and permission to do so! Just make sure they know I was wearing steel-toe Crocs! I'm most embarrassed about the lack of hearing protection
Please tell me that you're kidding and that really isn't a picture of you. Please.

Of course it's me! Of course, that was long before I met y'all and got learned up proper!
Hello OlympicYJ, right now I'm off work. In between jobs or a chosen mini-holiday. I'm not young so I'm pretty much
working when I want to anymore. It's right in the middle of the rut here so I've been doing a bit deer hunting. Both of
those pictures are from the Charlottes, where I live. Most of my falling career was with helicopters, a few different companies
and machines and many different places.
Thank you all for the welcome.
Getting out at Christmas shutdown.
The same airplane at the same camp six months later. Glassy water landing and someone made a mistake.
The only people aboard were the pilot and Old Howard the grapple snapper. It didn't look this bad before
they tried to lift it out of the water with the Skycrane and a strap broke and the airplane got dropped from
about a hundred feet. Funny thing is the insurance guy was overseeing the salvage and the major damage rested on his shoulders.

Working in the patch. I did that a few winters ago doing well service driving a cement bulker into rigs. Three in the morning it's forty below up some rig road a hundred miles off the highway alone and chaining up. It's no life for a timber faller from the coast.
I'm still at the lake. 40 below is too cold. Meng, thanks for not ditching this thread due to our shenanigans. Ron
I have absolutely no problem with shenanigans Ron, thanks for your reply. If anyone here has a problem with the kind of photos I'm posting let me know and I'll knock it off. Just trying to give you guys a look at what life in this part of the world is like. I started taking pictures too late in life to capture much of fallers world but I do have a few.
Seaspan from Vancouver taking a barge load of wood from Juskatla down south. Picture is from earlier this year. Self loading and dumping barge, they come with their own boom boats and crews, just pull bag booms of wood out to them and they do the rest. Taken from the fuel wharf about a five minute walk from my house.
