You might be a logger if...

You might be a logger if... You are in your driveway shoveling snow and you can hear a yarder crew whistling logs up the hill across the Hiway from you. You listen to the whistles and you know just what's going on. That happened to me last week. I was ready to drop that freakin shovel and grab my caulks.

I get the same reaction when the snow starts to melt and the start of the season is getting close.
The late winter sun, the sounds and the smells of logging really gets my blood flowing again

The first tool you can think to grab for most jobs is:

A: an axe

B: saw wrench

C: Knife

D: bigger hammer

Nothing like the BFH thumb detector if only I had enough weight to swing it one handed.

You look at x-rays and say I remember that one.

 

[northmanlogging]

Yup. Like when you get in the shower at night and there are scrapes and cuts you don't even remember getting that day.

You might be a mechanic faking being a logger if:

Every old piece of junk you go look at makes you think ‘I can make money with that’

If your theory is you cant run old **** but you can run old iron

If you spend most of a year getting ready to log so the logging goes buttery smooth ha ha

Your brand new pickup gets its first dent before the first payment is made.

An tilts (lisps)? to port.

If you take the battery out of the crummy every morning to start the loader... and then take the battery out of the loader to start the Cat..... you just might be a Gyppo.

Porosonik.

.... if you've ever had your wife exclaim "Brush those pants off! I'm tired of sweeping up that sawdust you're always dragging in the house" ..... and you reply,

"That sawdust is what's paying the bills"

If you stand up and there’s wood chips in the toilet.

 

[fool skip]

If you like laying on your ass in bed listening to the rain beating on your tin roof knowing you are mudded out today.

How it all starts!

 

[rocketnorton]

you take a 6cu pioneer to the tree farm.

 

[gary courtney]

If you do not spend every day looking at chainsaw forums !

 

[bitzer]

If after your 3rd or 4th beer you start to loosen up after work.

Your skidder cost less than the value of the wood you pulled out with it the first day you got it running. Ha ha

 

[Huntaholic]

I cant get your video to load FP but youre either pulling some dang good wood or you've only got 2k or so in your skidder! Ive spent a damn fortune on my machines and Im still running what most would consider old junk. My winch is down on the dozer right now and its going to cost me every penny I can make in 2 days working it when I get it back just to pay the repair bill. Another 2 days to pay the help and the haul bills, so The next week I get to work is already gone.

Huntaholic, you caught the jist of it perfectly. It’s an old TJ 404, but we’ve got just over $2,000 into it and it runs not bad at all.

I’m a heavy equipment tech by trade, my business partner is as well plus he’s a ticketed millwright too. It’s awesome for us: we can make old stuff work like new and it just costs us time and parts.
