anyone started watching this prog?
Am in total orr of these guys.
Forgetting the fact that I am female but i have done the type of logging that these guys do on a daily bases, and on a much smaller scale and i was knackered after a week !!!! on easy going steady incline slope !!!! (don't ask me the incline but it was nothing to want these guys are working on) Just to get a official chain saw license.

Anyone else see the program?

Yep we saw it.
They are total nutters.. We get exhausted just chopping the logs and unloading the tralier after collecting them from the woodyard let alone working on those steep slopes and doing what they do.

Personally,I'd rather take my eyes out with a rusty spoon than do that job. I am however,working on a small nuclear explosive device to let off in the woods. Did you see photo's of Tungusta after the asteroid impact? tha's what I'm working towards. Chainsaws are far too dangerous and need all that petrol and oil!!!!

yep ...couldn't agree more Ree....I worked on the wood for a few years , working on slopes that you could hardly walk up.....it was murder. Although I still have a chainsaw in the shed somewhere, I now use bow saws to cut just about all the wood I need. I would only use a chainsaw for something over 18" dia. I saw a few yukkie accidents caused by chainsaws , they cut through people even better than they do through wood......I would rather all my bits where they are meant to be .....

I've got a real phobia about chainsaws (and I never watch horror movies), in fact about any fast moving blade. Just thinking about it makes my blood chill

I'm with you on that one Rosemary, the sound just makes my hair stand on end 

[rustyme]

yes ... the sound of a bow saw is much kinder on the ear ....and apart from the metal to make them , they are kinder on the environment....lol.

Well when i was trainning i had some hairy experience but, You'll be happy to now that they have fitted a deivse to the newer machines (don't ask me how) that stop once it it's bone BUT saying that btw time it cut you up i thing you want it to straight trough not stop in yah. lol

Also saw someone slip and the resultting state of the specialist boots and tousours at the end of it the leg was not harmed after to it as the material got wrapped around the blade and stopped it (which is what the do).
