South Carolina Tree Length Logging Job 072110

We were in the woods on Wednesday and had a good time visiting with some folks. While we were there we shot some video of a nice Tigercat 240B Knuckleboom Loader with CSI 264 Delimber, Kenworth Truck and Trailer, CAT 525C Dual Arch Skidder with Dual Tires. In recent weeks pine sawlog prices have dropped significantly, so these fellows were fighting a case of the blues as the value of this timber has fallen off dramatically.

I have worked in a lot of industries and by far the best folks I have ever worked with and for are loggers. Part of it has to do with hard work. People who work in offices all day do not know what I am talking about. But if you farm, drive a truck, plow fields, build, plant, harvest or do anything labor intensive all day it creates in you a character that is rare in today's world. It creates a sense of humility and decency that I had not seen much of for many years. GOD BLESS LOGGERS!

@rollinlowford I actually go out of my way to use anything and everything that I possibly can that is derived from wood. It adds value to timber and it encourages the planting and long term protection of timber lands. If you stop using wood then the timber loses its value and landowners will cut it down and plant crops or something else that will provide an income stream. If we stop using paper, stop using wood, we put forests in danger.

@rollinlowford Using wood products and paper is probably the best thing we can do to help reduce CO2 emissions and prevent or reduce the impact of climate change. Trees absorb carbon and when we make them into homes or pencils or flooring that carbon is neatly stored for a very long time. Concrete, steel, brick all require the use of fossil fuels to manufacture and they do not store any carbon.

TREES ARE THE ANSWER.  Plant them, Manage Them, Harvest Them, Make quality Products from them.
