Not something you see everyday ever,or ever want to see.It's a sick feeling.All the financial loss,and time loss,recovery costs,replacing that equipment,insurance co hurdles.Good job on capturing an often heard of but seldom seen event.I've had around 5 fires in machines over the years ,only one became like this as well,total loss.its one of my first youtube uploads.Thanks for the effort and concern you showed here.
+skadill Sorry to hear that you have also had fires, that would take a toll, thanks for your understanding as you have been around this particular event you appreciate how the adrenaline would rise, equipment operator jobs are one of many dangerous jobs just in the ordinary course of a day even without such incidents, my parents and siblings have not been around this type of forestry machinery and I felt like they were there with me when the camera was still running giving support as that is how my videos started as diaries to them back home. Thanks for your kind words.
the recent thrill was I had one rolled over in august,theres pics of it on my google page.its neat how theres always been a crossover of the logging/timber industry and the beautiful outdoors.Thats why loggers love their jobs,and I miss being in logging.A lot of the cool stuff you see and record,is ia fortunate loggers office view everyday.
Very true how it connects, its created also many great roads for people to enjoy the outdoors that otherwise wouldn't allow access, its so much more so in the West as you still get that wilderness, be a sad day if it weren't so, naturally drawn to this from family history around it and the water, and taking part in it myself at one time on my own, I will check that out, scary roll over, I haven't found the link yet for the fire incident
Good thing nobody was hurt. That's an intense flame, and some dirty smoke. Expensive equipment I'm sure, not a good way to start the week. Hope your next hike is more calm.
+Nick Outdoors Don't want to be near that again for sure, ironic, they were trying to cut dead beetled pine to prevent forest fires and start reforestation, glad it was over quickly for environment and forest, and no one was hurt, a forest fire is so hard on animals etc. the squirrel I was taping eating a bud was put on hold.
i killed my first tree when i was five years old on my dads TD 14 international track loader with a 48 inch shear in 1969 sitting on the hot old tank and every time i would grab the screen on the side of the machine my dad would stop and give me shit but after awile he gave up and would hit me on the back of the head lol .so i gave up garbing the screen so i would hang on to him so he put me in the pickup and i had to watch from there.i didn`t figure out why he got mad at me till i got older and i figured it out he was scared i would lose my fingers hanging on to the screen. my dad had like 6 snippers over the years .his last one was a 250 track loader and one summer in bear lake bc up north of pg he had 8 line machines behind him he was 3 weeks ahead of them so he got a grapple and put it on his 250 and loaded out the muddy landings for 2 weeks. i would run his 250 on night shift with him that summer and he bought me a 175 that winter in 79 i was 15 years old that winter running his 175.did that a few years till they didnt want `snippers any more so i jump on a buncher and been doing that since.
Thank you so much for the comments and your personal experiences you have shared, never heard of the spinners before, interesting, technology has taken away some of the family time outdoors but on the other hand it allows us to communicate like this in a good way. I hope to hear from you again, thank you.
