Where they working and for whom? You know where they're selling their grade logs? Do they use only a cut down machine or will they go old school and use a saw? Where some of the best timber grows must be cut with a saw and pulled with a cable to get the grapple to it. There are spots just too steep and rough that just can't be safely cut by the best locals. Some do have the "if it grows, we'll get it" motto. And it's all good till you roll a skidder, dozer or truck back in the mountains. I suspect their idea of steep and the locals idea is gonna be very different.
