You can close the coffin lid on the logging industry. Its been dying. A living and some really high payments is all youre gona make. I can take one pickup truck with my gear in it, spend $25 on gas and make more money in an 8hr day with one man helping me than a logging crew with a cutter, two skidders, a loader operator, and two trucks hauling as fast as they can. I guarantee you at the end of the day, when all expenses are paid, i put more money in the bank. The timber industry today is a way to wear out mens bodies and equipment to just make a living.
I am sure you are right about that. I don't see how any of the small logging crews stay in business.
You ever consider buying one of the portable sawmills? Looks to me like it would fit in well with what you do. Put it under a shed and you could work on days when weather is too bad to climb trees.
I'm good a dreaming up work for someone else to do.
