Apparently while I was out murdering trees all day and making minimum wage…this thread blew up, now that the cats out of the bag on how much money I make I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could set up some sort of gofundme page on my behalf, a week ago I ordered my 4th Kifaru pack and I will be damned on how I will pay for that sucker… just kidding… yes some loggers are broke, others are millionaires, it’s like everything else in this world right now I suppose, I will say being only a part time logger on my own land lol, I definitely appreciate my arborist rate that I make the other 6 months, having owned a tree service business the last 20 years I can tell you it’s been a good run, my body on the other hand has paid the price, but I wouldn’t change a thing if I could, no regrets. Kyle I sold wood the other day, almost 8,000 feet, I just checked my scale sheet and out of 121 logs 5 shipped as veneer, that is a woods run average, I wasn’t jumping around “trophy logging”, if anything I was chasing low grade stuff, it’s my land so obviously I can do what I want, I have a new log buyer and I wanted to test his markets, they were good, so he will get more of my business and this time I expect my veneer average to go up, but you get the idea.
@woodsdog2 check out that stick behind my 440C!!!
