logging is awesome and all, but those dang feller bunchers...there extremely efficient, but its not even fair, some may disagree or some may agree, but I prefer more traditional practices of logging..

@ItsColdUpNorthh its always bad when jobs are lost with higher productivity, I don't know what the answer is...when I started out we used handfallers and that in itself created more work for everyone involved.

Great video, My mate Andy wants to get over to canada to work, i think he has put it on hold for a bit while the world sorts itself out, take it easy

[CDNcatskinner]

Thanks...I hope he gets here, he will like it I think

[cowbubbles]

what motors you guys run , big cam 400 , N14s , 550 cats ???

[CDNcatskinner]

I think The Cummins N14 is popular, A lot run the big cats 500-600hp C12's or whatever they are called now, I remember many guys used to run the 3406"s and still do

[cowbubbles]

ya those ole 3406s are a tough motor , my fathers lookin at a 02 ,model freighttliner, with a 500 cat , when drove it today .

Another great video. Thanks

[togreektown]

great video it is nice to see how folks work and what jobs they do in other parts of the country.

[artistfarmer]

It's amazing how quick those machines can get the job done....back then.....LOL.....poor guys with chainsaws. Spent a lot of time in the Brazeau....back then...LOL Thanks, great vid!

[CDNcatskinner]

I like that part of the country..ya its very fast now and thats a shame, much fewer jobs...when I first started in construction there were still handfallers making a living in the oilfield...not anymore...not even a line skidder, everything is a rush

[artistfarmer]

Oh, for sure...I agree...used to employ a lot more people....but a dangerous job as well. The most amazing thing I last saw was a hydraulic drilling rig...think it was Lakota...in Sylvan Lake....2 men could run the whole rig?

[CDNcatskinner]

Yes its true, Driller and the derrick man or motorman run the floor, no need for roughnecks to make connections now, but thr still seems to be 4 or five on a crew, mostly just acting as leasehand snow. W used some of Precisions SSL or "super single" rigs Hydraulic arm to place pipe and an iron roughneck to do the connection

[aid2003]

My company makes such wood work too.

I will try to get some Photos for you..Andy

[CDNcatskinner]

That would be great Andy....Eurpoeans are the leaders in the industry, so many of the tools we use now were developed there...Scandnavia anyway

[WyomingScout]

Now that's a way to log! I almost feel like moving up yonder to join in on getting paid to have fun!!!!! LOL! That was a great video there!

[CDNcatskinner]

All mechanical fun, thanks wyo
