Bronco Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Tree attacks logger's vehicle http://www.madsens1.com/ouch.htm Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 It appears that the faller didn't want to trouble himself to walk far from his truck, so using four wheel drive, he got just as close to his target as he could get before he parked. Good thinking! Quote

Ursa_Eagle Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 That's what you get for driving a big gas guzzling piece of shit. I was going to say: "That's what you get for clear cutting", but that works too. Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I use wood products too, I just don't like clear cutting (which is exactly what it looks like they're doing, according to some of the pictures.) Quote

Mtguide Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Every day is a dangerous day working in the woods.I've done just about all the different jobs there are to do logging,and it does seem kind of spooky sometimes.When a timber sale is cut,a good faller will try to fall the trees all in one direction,laying the trees across the fall line of the slope as much as possible.Sometimes the logs will lay out there for several weeks or even months until the yarding crew can get to them.Every season,loggers are injured by logs that have just lain there for weeks,and then for no discernible reason,suddenly go rolling down the hill and crush someone.But what this guy did was just plain lazy,careless and stupid.I can't believe he's standing there with his faller's wedge in his back pocket.In fact I can't believe he hasn't had an accident or two before this.

Good thinking! Brian you're kind of clueless about this stuff. If you had all the time in the world then you shouldn't make mistakes like that, but in the real world people fuck up. In a work environment like the one in the picture you need to move fast and constantly make judgement calls based on you're experience. If you don't work quickly you'll loose your ass on a bid job, and working quickly eventually leads to fuck ups. My advice to you is stay in the office and leave real work to others. Also this is why businesses carry insurance. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Kurt, you are taking this a lot more seriously than I am since you are in a closely related business. You are damn right I'm better off not doing that sort of work. I'd either lose my shirt or lose my life! Quote
Bronco Posted March 12, 2004 Author Posted March 12, 2004 That's what you get for driving a big gas guzzling piece of shit. Wazzup with the personal attack on the guys vehicle! Of the few people who have a good justification for driving a 4X4, I'd say a logger is right up there. Let's see you get 4 guys, thier lunches and equipment up 20 miles of logging road to the job in whatever "economical" POS you drive. (nice troll butt muncher) And catterd, the guys who put in logging roads generally don't take time to put in parking spots so you park wherever you can. You're having a good day when you can actually turn around and not have to back up the 20 miles to the pavement. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I'm with you Bronco. Loggers need pickups or bigger trucks. If you want to slam suburban fucks then thats fine, but don't be dissin on real workers. Quote
