The declining timber industry. "line loggers" are almost a thing of the past
I've been in the timber industry for 25 years. Yes, there are numerous yarder's pulling logs up the hill. With the expansion of heavy machinery and the numerous injuries And deaths, employers are steering away from the "boots on the ground" aspect. More state of the art equipment is being bought and sold around the country. The said "boots on the ground" situation is a good thing for employers reducing the man hours needed along with the abundance of parts and hands-on accessories that is not needed to be purchased, as much, as in previous years.

3rd generation logger who needs to find another trade. Good luck to all employers and employees. Loggerlee76 (talk) 13:01, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
