Wintertime Logging in Oregon

[@wmden1]

A two hour drive, one way, in snow and ice, and in the dark, work 10 to 12 hours, in snow and ice, moving logs, drive back home for 2 hours, in snow and ice, in the dark; what's not to like? At least the cabs of the machines are heated, I would hope. Respect and admiration for people who make a living doing this, and under these conditions.

Such a great video! Your ability to handle wintertime logging in Oregon’s challenging conditions is really something special. Great job!

[@IwillfindyouMr.pocket]

Reminds me of my days setting chokers. Lost an eyeball to a stick and never looked back. My hats off to ya. Takes real men to work those hours in those conditions. Be safe

Beautiful little yarder my friend. Great job!

[@timberhillinc]

Thank you, she does the job well.

[@randyballew8795]

I don't care what anyone says, logging is hard work and dangerous. It's a living to be proud of but not one to be taken lightly by any means.

[@MattGlynn]

Great insight, looks bloody cold.

[@timberhillinc]

Thanks, It is!

Watching this was like having a horrible nightmare

[@timberhillinc]

Oh the things we do for money...

Hahaha I'm glad I am not the only one to have flashbacks

[@bobmartin6055]

Very cool!

[@HardRockVermont]

Great footage! So, are you using the "E Choker" system, work good for you? Must be better than having to have a Chaser.

[@timberhillinc]

they are great, a little maintenance goes a long way with them. super slick on the landing.

[@123brutalmetal]

@@timberhillinc how are they dragging around in the brush? I am thinking of getting some for my guys. Thought of running presets of 2 per hooker.

[@timberhillinc]

Harder than standard chokers. Nobody likes dragging them through the brush, you grab the bell end and drag the ring, or fold them in half and carry the bells and rings off the ground over your shoulder if it's really brushy. 2 or 3 isn't bad at all, but 4 or more gets a little rough. Hefty investment for sure, and really hurts the big feelers if you lose one. There are huge benefits on the landing, though. Fortronics is my favorite.

[@123brutalmetal]

@@timberhillinc good to know. Yeah at almost 40,000 for 8 of them it’s a pretty steep investment. Love your videos. Hope you keep them up! I own a Thunderbird 45 and do all the hooktending for the side. I love seeing what other guys are doing. There aren’t many other yarders around our area.

[@123brutalmetal]

@@timberhillinc separately, if you ever find yourself looking for work and want a change of scenery… I am always looking for good guys. We are up in northeast Washington by Canada and Idaho.
