Back then tree length pine logs was almost $70 per ton and red diesel was 50 cents per gallon. Truck drivers were a dime a dozen ... damn things have changed!

Bobby you can't blame Washington. Politics shouldn't have been discussed. The oil companies went before the Senate. They told the Senate that they WERE not going to lower the price but give it to their Republican investors. So you parked your trucks for the rich to get richer. That is not what our Senator's are there for they are to help the people. The GOP won't help us.

Hey Bob I have been watching your operation and videos for 10 years. Love you all and your reality in the Logging Operation I live in Canada and I started at 17 and in Northern Canada minus 60 celcius muddy steep mountains etc. It a tough job and dangerous. The Logging in Canada is FINISHED and they have shut down New Sawmills Everywhere across Canada... Still a little Logging but I don't know how but. I'm 61 and took early retirement because of the Logging System in the toilet . Hey Bob I salute you as you and Justin have put your time in and you've made a proper business decision like me. Happy you have survived as long as you did and I know you have medical problems and I do too. In saying this Bob you have made a Ligit Decision from a business insight. Your Logging is much different than ours but I was fascinating with your company and your wife, Justin, and how fantastic you have treated your employees..... Your an Awesome Man Bob... 9 out of 10 of my friends are fascinated with your operation and a fantastic job of explaining everything about how you Log and doing your own repairs. Bob its extremely difficult to operate and work with family members but you succeeded big time. I'm not worried about you, Justin, your Wife or you Bob nor your awesome employees . You work extremely hard, no matter what, repairs to your equipment, and you're operators are awesome and great people. I wish all of you this best... May the good Lord be with you and your family and employees, moving forward. I will pray for each and every one of you. Take care and pass it on..

I've learned so much, just from watching your show. You are a very stand up type of guy. You definitely set the bar for your employees. You were always in the trenches with your guys. God bless you and your family.

Understand fully what you facing,went through it in 2008,and 2009. Finally got out of the logging business. Mills are way behind on what they pay for timber products. Praying for you and your family. I have always appreciated your values and your Christan faith may God bless you and your family.

Thank you for your channel and your voice. Until I owned my own businesses I didn’t pay too much attention to politics. Once you own your own business you realize how much the federal government stifles growth and ingenuity through unneeded regulation and pandering to special interest.

I watched my uncles make the same decision 3 years ago. It broke my heart but seeing things have only gotten worse I understand. Logging in my family went back to my great grandfather. The politicians in this country do not want loggers around anymore!

Goodson family, I will continue to follow anything you guys put on you tube. I will miss being able to throw out the 'Bobby Goodson' name when commenting on other logger channels. When other loggers complained about the wet/muddy conditions, I would comment saying, you want me to get Bobby Goodson to come get that wood. May God Bless!

God bless y’all! I started in the woods when I was 12 years old, I’m now 43 and have left the woods. I tried it on my own back in 05’ then 08’ fuel prices hit I know your pain. It’s so sad what logging rates are compared to price increases today. Hold your head up high and know you’ve given it your all! Put it in the Lords hands and pray!

My hat is off to you all …. I had a land clearing business.. 3 excavators 2 dozers and a dump truck , the expense of fuel and upkeep is unreal !!! I said to myself several times while watching you guys in action ….That Goodson all-terrain sure has a lot of equipment and to keep going and a massive overhead of expenses… I am so glad I sold everything, Bobby , you and your wife and your crew will be ok , sell it all and you will be happier … good luck to you all

Every time a company is shut down the results are far reaching. As long as this administration keeps running as they have the country is going to the dogs. Hard working people, are footing the bill for foolish spending, and losing their lively hood at the same time. Bobby should hold his head high, as he has taken care of several other families for a long time. Bobby has given them a place and reason to work and grow with him and his family. Best of luck and God Bless everyone.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I shut the doors last month on a retail company I started from ground zero 25 years ago. Different industry than yours but as you said, "it don't even work out on paper anymore". This economy is fixing to get ugly but y'all hang in there. God has shown himself faithful to all of us.
