    Best sources of employees?

    Work Photos

    28" bar in 2nd photo. ~15' cliff, couldn't get pictures to capture how backleaning and sketchy. Whip tackle to mini with side stay, needed a tie in on the ground to make the cut. Twitched up-out the lowest limbs and rigged a few smaller ones to minimize damage to the saplings etc.

    Haven't had issues in over a yr and now it's most of the time. If you select the photo and choose "large" size to upload instead of full screen or auto depending on phone it should work.

    Do you think this year has been different for business?

    So pretty! I backed the ROPS into a smaller one of those brush hogging yrs back and they swarmed the engine but didn't sting me, heart rate jumped though

    Games, competitions, and levity at work

    Stuff to add lightness and enjoyment to the work day. -See how close to end of rope one can grab when clearing a line. -Landing logs flat outside of the 1/5th rule -Guessing balance point on logs when moving with machines, or limbs when rigging (deceptive leaf weight...) -The quality pun What...

    What's cost of living there? Those rates are especially not tempting without a material handler. Meant as helpful feedback.
