It doesn't pay to mess with loggers...people who run up & down steep hills all day packing chain saws, heavy choker cables. other stuff. ...
Right handed? Fallers hold and carry their saws with their left hand. If they beat you with their right arm, don't ask them for a left handed rematch.

Actually fallers call themselves "cutters" in these parts. They usually have a thick felt pad hooked to a suspender on their left shoulder to balance the saw on...bar on the shoulder, engine out back. One of the brothers I mentioned is a cutter...

Before the GoPro and GoogleGlass etc, I tried duct-taping a MiniDV tape Canon Elura2 to a baseball cap and drove around like that first-person.
Definitely prototype stuff.

Byron, you should be banned for that. Won't quote.



Just watched a documentary about Ed Roth the other day. His art 'voice' has been copied I'd say more than anyone.
