      A fella here in Western CO was delivering equipment to a logging site a few years back. Some how hydraulics let down and pinned his foot to the deck of the trailer. He was alone and miles from help, but he had a sharp knife. He cut through his boot, then amputated the part of his foot that was pinned. I think they even had him on Letterman, after that (lol).

    Great info Bossman. I am in the eastern WV mountains where logging still is an active industry. During the Civil War as troops fought around here they discovered that these mountains held plenty of virgin timber. So after the war companies came in and built railroads, namely using Shay engines to traverse the steep grades and get the timber. One such RR still operates as an exhibit, the Cass Scenic RR. I really enjoy when you tell us about your logging. Check out the history of logging here in WV as I think you will really enjoy it. I hike in the Monongahela National Forest, about 991,000 acres, which was timbered in the 1900’s finishing in about 1930-33 when the land was sold to the forest service I think to later become a national forest. Many of the trails are old railroad beds and often the cut ties are still in the ground in a decaying state. Love the channel and enjoy the your hard working family showing us all how it’s done.
