Great footage Clint, very informative and good set up time. In Vermont we just use Skidders, you guys are the Logging Kings of the mountain out West, BC, and Alaska, etc..
Thank you for posting this. My step-father was a hooktender up until his retirement, and worked in logging his entire life. (West Coast, British Columbia). From Holberg, Port Alice, Apple River, Guilford Island (Maple Bay), George Creek -- even with the family in tow for some of my childhood. Survived a landslide with only some broken ribs. Probably spent a fifth of his life in full gear being banged around a crummy. It's good to see something that conveys just an ounce of how brutal a career it was/is.
I always thought there was a ton of weight on they Skyline had to be up Higher than that . A man Learns something new every day . Thanks for the Share .
@@matthewstolth1551 Nope. Just the mainline and haulback. I ran a Washington swing yarder for Crown Z up in Seiku, Washington in the '70s. Something we did differently was we always moved the yarder rather than the back-end. Sometimes you can't, but that the way things go. That way we only had to run the rigging all the way to the back every few road changes. Front-end logging is way faster than back-end logging. :-)

Love the sound of clanking chokers.
43 years in the woods, still out working the kids. Lol
I worked with the hook tender a couple days ago. I made a mental note never to mess with a hook tender. That’s a brutal work.
Thanks Clint! After many years of working in the industry as a geoscientist, I have never seen this explained. It really helps!
Very cool Clint as you did a nice job showing some of the engineering involved. Did it for many years and this was well done.

My dad was a hook tender for 25+ years, now hes a yarder engineer. My brother-in-law is a hook tender, and i set chokers. All for the same employer!
That is really slick. Thank you for posting!
Cool video thanks for posting. You shoud get some more yarder/rigging vids up!
great video!
Good video! I enjoyed watching this.
Nice job but you probably should have tied it back with a twister at least for the video.
How many days a week do logger usually work? Do you get weekends off?
Depends on where you work. Here we just work 5 days a week.
I know where Maclure Lake is very well. On the way to Walbran

Aww the memories. Spent my first 20 years in the bush as a rigging rat.
