Ran across this video of logging in mountainous area.

Wow, that is way cool. love the terrain. very hard logging job. hats off to those fallers.

I actual thought it was Heli logging. they do that a lot back where i'm from, in Switzerland. they fly out logs and trees because high up in the mountain there is no other way to bring the logs down. everything has to be ready and moving quickly when the Heli finally arrives because they have a expensive hourly rate!

I've seen some heli logging videos from Switzerland too—seriously impressive stuff. The coordination and speed they work at is next level.

There was a show on Canadian TV about logging that included Heli logging too.  It was done Gold-Rush style.  They were bringing out huge trees.  Grab onto them while they are still standing, cut the base and off they go.

Thanks for sharing the video.  I'd like to go out there and experience that climate and terrain.  I'm sure I'd be sucking air, spending most of my life at 82' above sea level or below.  Do any of you know if the saw he was running was a 592?

Makes me appreciate the WRC that I was able to buy last year.

Now that you mention that Jake, how is that going? did you saw and sell it already?

there was a topic right?

I've sawed about half of it. Lots of learning going along with it. I'm going to do fine with it $$$ wise, but as I was afraid of, I'm developing a market for it, and now working on replacing my inventory. Once I put in the work in to get a ball rolling, I don't want to let off the gas.

you need to update that topic and put some pics up
