If I moved locales I could have a really good falling job, standing offer. All highlead and heli blocks so just like mentioned before steeper than sh-t. My wife would never leave though. Both of our families are pretty firmly rooted in the okanagan.
Handfalling used to be the top bush job around here. Really good money, dangerous as all hell, but it payed. Now it's all forked up. I resent missing out on it. Does it show.
Ya oversize and the worst of the worst most dangerous steep ground. Great day and age to be a handfaller. Not to mention that at my cutting prime, it made it very hard to break into, as more and more experienced fallers were being displaced by giant overpriced hunks of forest destroying machinery.
I hate feller/bunchers. Hate them, end of story. Big business rip off of our forests. Instead of paying a handfaller a good wage now the logger pays a giant payment on a machine so that he can produce enough to work for cheaper rates for the mill? That makes alot of sense to me? I don't see...
