Excellent thread ,I saw it in the Forestry Logging forum a while back, cool old saws and equipment, a little deficient in PPE though. In Browns first post he says "I never fit the logger mould because I wasn't a big drinker". Thats the same sarcastic sterotyping I have heard from many company management or goverment employees. I worked along side many loggers and through their professional work ethics I never saw a big drinker problem. If there was one they sure wouldn't be around long enough to get to know them. I also heard the statement " look at these guys with no education and they make alot bigger salary then me."

Gotta love the politically correct...they're quite stereotypical...

Holemen not withstanding...thanks so much for this topic.

Ya, I enjoyed it very much. I'm sure those loggers are worth every cent they were paid. We just lost someone in my family recently to logging, very sad.
