The entire forestry industry in Oregon is first class. High level operations. To get this award this dude must be one hell of a man. I tip my hat to you sir.

Go Wayne. Your a rare breed.

I live on Vancouver island and worked for MacMillan Blodel Eve River Division for 25 years. We ran a sky car and to get lift at times we used rock bolts and anchored it to rock bluffs.Love your video good job😎

Wow, all I can say, after six surgeries at 30 years old my vertigo kicks in just watching the video . Nothing but talent here! Great to see, looks like some dangerous timber . 👍

I use to work for Wayne. Hell of a guy both as a man and boss. Congrats Wayne

My father was a logger in the Oregon mountains when I was a child.. He was a powder man.. This is one hard working job n not just anybody can do it.. A lot of pride goes into this job and I am proud to say my dad was a part of it all...

Good to see your doing good Wayne. We worked together on the north and south jetty project in the early 80's.

Good OLD WAYNE LOL I got my last log truck from Wayne

you should have showed him complete that maneuver on the still photo that is why I watched the video!

I love the way they explain things in this video, very clear and to the point! lol

This looks like very challenging logging. Would like to try it

I wanted to see the maneuver in the thumbnail, but the video turned out to be a commercial for Wayne Stone Logging, Inc.

0:47 - bulldozer style skidder being tra sported with yarder, the wheel skidder you saw on the thumbnail only has pictures

You people are not learning about the logging company's. They replant every area that gets harvested. It cleans out all the old brush and makes the forest safe from fires and being over grown. They are very serious about renewing the land they harvest. It's a husbandry of many many years. Even home owners in Oregon have to either plant trees or farm their land if they don't want to be hit with big taxes. So it's not greed , they do a very good job and make it so that it not as expensive as it could be to build things that we all need.

The way I understand it they divided the state up in the 100 different parts harvested one part every year that way when they were done they had 100-year-old trees to start over with

missed the point of this vid except how great wayne is.

Do u know Cavendish?

So, this looks like it is up the Clackamas River, or maybe Fish Creek. My only concern is that it be replanted, and that it is left alone long enough to actually be restored. I don't want ALL the woods to be used to produce lumber. Their taking logs out up near High Rock, and I wonder if it will ever be pretty again.

Nice video

Well I can one say one thing I did see a flying scooter once in my lifetime believe it or not

I'd love to work for wayne

You gotta do what you gotta do and I use a lot of paper and wood myself but it sure is sad to see forests decimated like that.

ai trabajo para extranjeros?

What about the millions of acres of hardwoods in the southeast that have been cleared and replaced with loblolly pines to create pine needle deserts ?

Yeah right

🎉 if you want my opinion you can't help it you're just educated beyond your means

What he said

gee this is very steep.

You should come to british columbia. Put you through a clinic on how to log downhill.

Too bad they didnt log all that stuff in california before it got burned up.

I wonder if wayne has ever seen a bigfoot

what your doing today, is NOTHING like what my family did,

Are you trying to tell me that's something can't go wrong when you're doing a scooter that way no is that what you're trying to tell me

Treehugger of the year award, goes to a logger. Lol

Yak, Yak, Yak, Yak, all talk NO ACTIVITY!

gentlemen, may i have a job? lol

Wearing a mask to get what you want is 100%submission to the new puke order

I understand we need the lumber I get that but .WHY do you have to take every single tree from an area .why not take lets say half of them and leave the rest so they can sustain the ecosytem and us at the same time by cleaning our air and give us more oxigen .

Let OSHA see that Deere in the air like that. $250,000 in fines right then and there.

wow, the equipment wasn't designed for it, very dangerous to do, major fire risk. I guess they were all lucky no one got hurt. Operator of the year! I don't get it.

Yes congratulation for aniquilated the woods

How can any man destroy such beauty? Curse your children.

Weather manipulating criminals and their pyrotechnics anyhow

stop logging

You boys put the L in logging

Wow, That's Awesome. Now Design a Tree That Can't Be Cut Down. Don't Those Trees Look Nice?

All the scarred cut hills slopes and valleys in the PNW is a sad sight. *_Much of this timber and yielded lumber is being shipped overseas._* Over $9 billion in timber export revenues in the US per year. The homogenous, replanted stands, provide poor habitat diversity, are an eye sore, and can't even come close to the hundreds or multiples-of-hundreds of years that a true forest takes to mature by biogeochemical cycling and disturbance patterns. So much more could be done with hemp, switch grass, and others, to make boards, beams and papers. So much more could be done with the forests themselves, rather than their providing "wood", and selling short all their other services like erosion control, water filtration, air filtration, etc. These saplings in their place is laughable in regards to offering the same services that a mature forest does. A sad sight, especially in Oregon, where the state economy offers so few alternatives than extraction industries...a rock and a hard place, certainly....But people think just because things are replanted, its "no big deal". I would encourage these people to study forests, and climax communities, and concepts like "succession". We should all be upset that these lands are sequestered, logged for the profits of the few, and what's left behind is a horrible scar on the landscape and a forest that nobody would want to spend time in. Go walk through a re-planted stand and tell me how much fun it is by comparison to a protected national parks forest in a climax stage of succession. Not to mention, in many places in the larger PNW area, they don't even re-plant--they just leave big piles of wooded debris as "habitat" piles (for mice apparently) and block off all the roads they've constructed for the timber removal. Ugly and disenfranchising to local communities. The ODF might want to re-examine this principle: *_"protect and enhance habitat"._* It's a lie that these re-planted stands "protect" or *enhance* wildlife - not so.

And no I wasn't smoking nothing funny neither
