Ive watched a few of them. There was a series with 2 old guys but I cant remember the name of it
Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker ......or Eric Morecombe and Ernie Wise
Now that busted and tramp have mentioned it I might have to try the all leather pads on my old spurs, the aluminium padded versions hit me right where I crushed my leg which is why I don't climb much anymore, I made a big ugly greave style pad for my really old set of spurs but them spurs are kinda cruddy... and heavier then the mallorys with the aluminium pad...
Husk still, Tramp is a logger that moves around from job to job a whole bunch hence Tramp Busheler would be a cutter that doesn't stick around long,and gets paid a set amount per MBF (also known as a bushel) most of these guys are contract cutters not having much loyalty to any one outfit, The other definition is slang for "you're fired" aka you better tramp on out of here... or getting your notice of lay off/dismissal notice would be getting your tramping papers.

I made a "face cut" and "bored" out a large, benign parotid gland tumor from a nice old man. Managed to avoid the carotid artery, jugular vein and facial nerve. Any of those would be like fallin' a big one on the crummy.
Busted, sorry if you took offense, I was just mostly making fun of having no clue what y'all are talkin about.
Last stupid question, I promise. I know what a bushler is, I know what gyppo means, but I have no idea what "tramp" means. I suspect it is slang for a small or one man show, but not sure:msp_confused:
Back before we used words like political correctness, there was lots of loggin on the west coast. Lots of it. A guy that was a good hand could Tramp . Some guys like me were tramps. " Some folks call ma a timber tramp, that might be so, . I been t nearly every loggin camp and I'm a runnin short a dough. " .
To Tramp is to quit. To get Tramped is to get fired. " then you'll be " ( walking down th road, kicking rocks mad an talkin to yourself ")
So, in summary. I'm a tramp because I would log or cut timber till the uncontrollable urge over came my. Half way thru setting my chocker maybe. Seriously. One time I tramped when the slinger wouldn't have 2 tag out chockers sent out. I wanted to pre set the 3rd chocker tag outs so we wouldn't keep the Riggin longer than they had it on the landing. Living in a loggin camp is great, till it ain't. . There were lots of us. Like the song says. " there's one thing that a logger can do, like no other man. He'll put up with most anything till it's more than he can stand. Then he'll quit, don't be too surprised, he'll quit while wearing a smile. It don't matter to him. I've seen it time and again. He'll quit, he's done it before, he'll quit Ain't workin no more. It's just sumthing that he has to do.
Can anyone tell me who it is that recorded those 2 songs??
No but I can hear them now...
When I was younger and single never cared a second about finding another job, always could... Now not the same story, not single, no work to be had, bills that need payed (not that bills ever stopped me)
I half wonder if the muttering and kicking rocks was how the tramp name came about, or was it an effect of the depression era when just about everyone was a tramp or hobo...

When I was young, busheling was fun. See how much I could make each day. But then I figured out they were cheating us. Taking cuts away that we used to get paid for. Now I just like a half decent day wage. That way I can sit on my butt and take pics to post on arborist site. And still make a days pay.

HuskStihl, I think it was slayer who had the pic with the 8# sledge.
