My Cant Hook slipped and this is what happened.....

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Rolling a 24" Cedar Log up a embankment. I did not set the cant hook in properly and as I moved the handle forward, the hook slipped out and here came the log! The Cedar had 2 small knots on it and guess where they lined up? YEP! Right on the 'Ol Shin. It gouged the meat out of my leg and the skin was hanging on the 2 knots. I was flopping around on the ground like a Bass on hot pavement!  8) DanG blood going every where!

Got to be MORE CAREFUL!  ;D

Shin injuries always hurt like the dickens!

[Papa1stuff]

Things like that happen to me every time I get near logs,boards or most anything else!I bet I gave at least a pint every year ,maybe  more ;D ;D

Ouch!
That is rare for a LogRite to slip. Sorry to see that leg injury.
Now, a good place for chaps.

[kelLOGg]

Ouch!, David.  :( Sorry that happened. Glad it wasn't an oak. but then you wouldn't have been rolling an oak that size uphill.

I was not using a Logrite  :......I was using a 4 foot wooden handle log cant I bought on sale at the local hardware store.  :D  I bought it before I knew about Logrites. I should have been using my Logrite!!!!!

David-That makes my shin hurt just thinking about it (and thanks for the pics right before diner :).  I prescribe three days R&R. 

[Delawhere Jack]

Ouch! But it could have been worse. If your foot got pinned you could have a broken shin or a torn up knee.

You've earned a good sit down and a beer or six..........

Those are some scary looking legs .I think I would have just told the story and left the pix off.Spray it with some purple dog medicine and get back to work.

[John_Haylow]

Ouch that looks sore. Keep the polysporin to it.

Ouch !!!   If you plan to get old with all of your parts, ya gotta take better care of yourself.  Those wooden handled things can't cant.  Logrites can cant.

:D :D :D :D My wife says the gouge marks are an improvement. I had to post a pic......just to prove it happened, that's the rule.  :D

Can't wait to here from SteamSawyer and WDH......Geeeeeee!

[steamsawyer]

Carefull there Davey... That bark on your shins gets thinner with age.

I used to tell my boys when they were little, Rubb a little dirt in it... It will feel better when it quits hurting, now go back to playing.

Come on back down to Florida for some R&R.

All I am going to say is a buddy of mine wears shin guards any time he goes near a pile of wood.
Some people would have a very bad time if scared up like that.
Take care of your self .

I must have the same wooden handled cant hook(bought it in Vermont). That dang thing has put me on my butt more times than I can count and was the main reason I bought a Logrite....

Should we have a wood handled cant hook burning? :D

[b dukes]

Almost the same thing happened to me., I didn't get hurt bad though , but i did get a nasty bruise. The next day I ordered two logrites. 

[kgbond]

Orders for logrite hooks just jumped 70%
Sorry for your leg, you will be walking like Chester
For a few days

[WDH]

Spray it with some purple dog medicine.

Who could beat that advice  :D. 

The only problem is that I bet that you do not have any purple dogs, or any medicine specifically for purple dogs.  So, if you have any brown dog medicine, try that  .

Yes, I am walking like Chester and I have NEVER heard of PURPLE DOG MEDICINE!

And if I had some PURPLE DOG MEDICINE, I'd be scared to use it for fear it would make me lay out in the wood yard and lick my......my......uh......wounds. Yeh, that's right....wounds.  :D

[Peter Drouin]

To bad you gut hurt. the old pv just needs to be sharpen. like all wood working tools

[WDH]

David,

That is a visibly disturbing image that you conjured up  :D.

Yeh,  :D , You should feel this image on my side.  :(

[WDH]

Sorry to hear about your injury.  Wood is a difficult substance to deal with. 

If you did tell me that you had some purple dogs, I would suspect that you were messing around with more than wood  .

[Okrafarmer]

That purple dog stuff is actually blue when you first spay spray it on.I think it is called Blu-cote and it is found in TSC among other places.
