Title: Logging in style
Post by: jim king on January 18, 2008, 05:07:54 PM
We just finished making a tour bus out of one of our little rubber tracked tractors so we can get in and out of the jungle easier than walking.  These will also bring out the sawn cants. We are also building low impact roads by hand and building bridges from trees near the road.  A bit labor intensive but works here.  A pic , shovel and wheelbarrow can still do wonders.

There is room between the seats for the beer cooler.
