Yeah, loggers using air horns is as unheard of as their use of Spencer logging tapes, eh?

What you talkin bout Holmes, it was a flagged hazard tree brought to his sup's attention, who shoulda done his friggin job and supervised the friggin felling with an air horn in case something unexpected and dangerous happened.
Watch the vid again and tell me I'm wrong?

That's precisely what spotters with air horns are for though.
The feller was obviously unaware that a huge hanger was falling over him and about to ring his bell.
Simply looking up and moving a few feet to avoid being struck's very doable, if you're warned by a blaring horn to look up?

I got that same feeling catching fat trunkwood with a Hobb's n block for weeks on end. Like it was simply a matter of time until an unread n unseen fault below ground stamps your ticket for yu!
Much over 3-4 foot dia trunkwood catching demands bull lines n blocks over one inch capacity IME...
Seems like hazard trees like that'd warrant a spotter with a horn at the very least. Seems like I remember such a reg in the CDF licensed timber operator test?
Piss tanks n air horns....
