My grandfather worked as a woodcutter in Washington state for a while in the 1950s, and the story he told us in the past was terrible. If you think that you are cutting down a lot of trees in the mountains, steep terrain, usually on foot, they are influenced by the strength of the roots, wind direction, speed, and the degree of tilt. They are somewhat predictable. Once they are harvested they are actually dragged through the forest with chains and heavy machines very quickly and the log movement is actually where more damage will occur.
Once they are trimmed, trimmed and loaded onto a truck, you can imagine driving a high altitude truck with a long half-track of 40,000 pound logs extending straight. Stable roadside accidents are very common and injuries are very common
When talking about logging in a non-mechanized environment, this is certainly a very dangerous occupation.
First of all, trees are dangerous. Skilled loggers can cut down trees in a given direction, but this is not absolutely reliable. When many people and big trees are falling around you, that danger is a reality. I remember visiting a family friend who used to be a recorder when I was a child, but now I am physically disabled because of such an accident.
Second, these tools are dangerous. Even axles, even chainsaws, may hurt people. When you work all day with such a nasty job, you will not be cautious. If you do not carefully, these tools are truly dangerous.
In 1906, at the peak of the timber business there were 500,000 lumberries nationwide. These loggers live under "primitive" conditions, praising the merits of dangerous missions and being honored for their recklessness and aggression. They lived in isolated logging camps and built "traditional culture to celebrate resistance to strength, manhood, confrontation with danger, and resistance to modernization". It was replaced by portable chainsaw by the late 1940 's. In 1968, with the invention of "Feller Buncher" that can cut and lift wood, the logger was able to clean 200 trees per hour.
Thanks to Dr. Stephen Covey, a leading expert in time management, let us consider the story of a lumber. This is a basic story. Two lumbers work in the forest. People are a bit arrogant and I believe he can appear in another lumber. He is crazy. Regularly, he is very convinced about himself, as another lumber actually stops logging and sits down. However, after all, the lumber who I am proud of was surprised to see how much his friend was reduced. "How can you quit so frequently and still be able to finish everything?" "My colleague answered," When I sat, I sharpened the ax. "
There is an old woodcutter and a story about the future young lumber. The young lumber works vigorously and without fatigue, but the old lumber rests for 15 minutes in an hour. But at the end of the day the old woodcutter has succeeded in cutting one third of the trees than the young man! When asked, the old logger said with a smile, "Every hour I stopped and sharpened my ax, this made me do more with less things."
