My First Video
I've just created my first video and uploaded it to YouTube.
It's big (350 MB), and maybe only interesting to a few people. It shows helicopter logging in Washington State. It took a while to upload and process, and it lost a lot of image quality. |

That's a Boeing Vertol 107, like the CH-46 the Marines use, operated by Columbia Helicopters.

surprising that the wood is valuable enough to make that cost effective.

Someone told us that the helicopter cost was $1000 to $1500 per hour.

Cheaper than building roads. They work on this side of the country, also.

Due to the housing drop, wood prices are down. A lot of the mills won't survive, especially the smaller ones. There's also been a flood of finished lumber from Canada, where they've been dealing with the beetle problem a little longer (you have to cut the standing dead within a year or two or the mills can't process the lumber). This has put further downward pressure on lumber prices.

Around here the smaller mills are only cutting for drag line mats. One pipeline co. ordered 28,000 mats. Hardwood is about over.

Don't know. Will check, but last time I went up that way, got ran over.
 Here are some of the sizes.. That co. states they produce 150k mat per year.

A race preserves its vigor so long as it harbors a real contrast between what it has been and what may be; and so long as it is nerved but the vigor to adventure beyond the safeties of the past. Without adventure civilization is in full decay.
