That’s not Forks, WA. Shit brother it’s not raining! I cut timber up there many years ago most of it went to a little veneer mill close to Beaver. Great video!!
Great video 👍🏻 I’m a union pipeline welder with 20+ years traveling our great country and one rule I have is if I can’t get to the job in a hour or less I stay there. You can’t make money or rest looking out a windshield. So to me it doesn’t make physical or financial sense to drive 2 hours one way let alone 4 hours round trip every day. I’d be building a new welding rig every 3 years
I get it, but where these guys are logging, is 2 hours from anything resembling a safe or remotely comfortable place to sleep. and they generally go through trucks every couple years.
So do you think there has to be logging outfits every hour apart to follow the standing trees ? That was a pretty ridiculous statement. That is like a road builder can only go so far as the road he is building takes him too far away lmfao
@@bcpioneer59 I didn’t realize you guys drive that far because you’re working in BFE. For my job our contract states that suitable lodging must be within a hour drive of the warehouse so we get paid to drive one way to the ROW.
@@JS-oy6nn Logging we would get paid travel or with any heavy construction jobs, but you have to follow the jobs and skilled people do not live within a rocks throw to a new job every day. And like I mentioned when you have logged a spot then you have to move to another and another which are almost always further away. Just like you with a pipeline, you can not work in one spot endlessly you have to keep following the line. But logging especially is 99% of the time in wilderness, so you drive or they have a camp set up and cheaper to pay travel time than set up a camp most times
I always like seeing work done in sunny weather. Why not show them slogging through a foot of snow with rain pelting down. Ice water running off your hardhat down your neck. You black wool longjohns soaked from Monday through Saturday. Corks that never dry out, soaked sandwiches and all the other fun stuff of working in the woods. Nah, I'll take watching them work on a sunny day so I can forget all the other weather.
