Safety Gear

[Gologit]

Well for some one who claims to be a logger you just proved your the poser and a wannabe logger. You know nothing of logging industry from this kinda post . I am not the wannabe after seeing this post :confused2:

Sssssshhhhhh...don't tell my boss. He's been known to get a little grouchy about stuff like that.

There is a reason why the V I is on my ignore list. My thinking is if nobody ever replies to his nonsense maybe then he'll fade into the sunset.

Uh huh...and then you get the "look" from the faller. And maybe a saw handed to you with the invitation to try it yourself. Mostly what you get, offering advice after the fact, is ignored.

The saw hand-off is also works well with chokersettersumpkin2:

You know you really screwed up when an ancient landingman disses your work.:hmm3grin2orange:

I'm a little shocked, nobody mentioned TP, a lot of people think you can wipe your ass with a leaf but they're not real absorbent. I remember all of Dad's and Uncle Boyd's flannel shirts used to be pocketless, tailless, and shortsleeved

Ok, my curiosity is getting the best of me. What the heck are stags, bobs, jackstraps and buds?

Around here stags used to be a term used to describe a kind of slipover you put on your caulks to protect a floor after work without removing your caulks. Haven't seen any in years. My Dad used to have a set.

Are you the only one who uses these terms?

Personally when I'm cutting I wear a tin hat, caulks and a pair of gloves. And before you think nasty thoughts that is in addition to the clothes I wear riding to work.

Stagged Or Bobbed Clothing Defined:

Pants and Shirts whose cuffs are removed and length shortened to facilitate unrestricted movement for working and escaping from entanglements.
Pins is the old school way of saying caulked boots.

Yep, ####-tickets are what we call them Jake. Never go over the hill without paper or water. Never #### in your own strip either. If ya got a whiny choker setter, #### on a log directly above the easiest point to slide the nub of a choker under.

I need help...

Nice, or maybe right next to the tree where they're going to slip the nubbin under and carefully conceal it with some ferns and whatnot, or maybe try to get creative with hip movement and duck walking and try to crap your initials on a log kindof like Zorro

I know well what it is to stag off your pants. Never heard 'em called stags and certainly not bobs.
Must be a secret on what jackstraps and buds are.
Never heard pins before either.

 

[HILLBILLYREDNEC]

Jack Straps are suspenders.

Stags and bobs can save a life and or a limb. My buddy got jiggered by a haul line back and his stagged pants ripped and enabled him escaped from being maimed or killed.Buds are preform push in ear protection.

So HBRN what other gems do you have this morning ?
I think you should change your name to " lucky " as I've never heard of someone having so many close calls or be involved in so many ! What with preaching and saw building how do you manage it all ?

Me either and I've been in the woods a bit. Maybe it's a secret language. Or maybe somebody found a glossary of old logging terms, really archaic ones, and adopted them as his own.

I do remember suspenders being called galluses and calk boots being referred to as shoes but pants and shirts were always called pants and shirts.

Down here if you ask somebody for some buds they're likely to include rolling paper with them.

Mostly I wear flip flops, Hawaii shorts, Ray Bans or a Lone Ranger eye mask and a Tilly hat. If the bugs are bad I just don't shower for a few days that usually works. I know it keeps my wife away. Oh and spurs that jingle jangle jingle. I have some rope too I use that to tie my client to a tree if they don't pay. That's where the Lone Ranger eye mask comes in.
