Great Video! My father used to work for the Ericsson Air Crane Inc. back in the mid 1990's. Would you happen to have any video of a team on the ground working with Chokers? My father worked rolling up Chokers for the Crane in Oregon.
Sadly, there are a number of Americans who have been conned into believe that trees are non-renewable. As a result the state only licenses a few areas for logging; many are very, very remote. Interestingly, most of the trees logged today were planted by loggers and will be planted again.
@gandb21 Thats why they use Helicopters to log all over BC, oh right, they don't. Helicopters are far more expensive than building roads. They use them around the Islands because of the steep terrain and mainly because there is no access to roads, it is often the ONLY way to log there.

Hey I used to work for WestCoast when I was little. You remember who that pilot was?
who ever keeps those crain games supplied must hate that helo pilot. This is much easier then when I do this with my skycrane.

I dont see how taking out three logs at a time and flying around wasting fuel is in anyway profitable..
Doing it fast! Gta be making turns constantly to profit!
skycrane is rude belligerent and fun to hook logs under
