logging. Not just tough but real tough to be fast enough to make a buck for the company.

Thank you!

No one appreciates us loggers.

I haven't done heli skiing but mostly every thing else and the only one that would get noticeable mention is setting towers.

Moving drills, bags and general slinging of loads at 10000-14000 ft in a B2 in the deserts of China. Part of the difficulty was the flying, and the other half was the isolation one feels that far from home with crap food and camp stuff. No shower on site, no toilet ( I dug my own every few days)

However, we did have cell phones that we could use to keep in touch.

All in all this was my hardest job so far, I think I learned to be a better longliner though, first few loads were...interesting.

[longliner]

Removing the bodies of 13 drowniing victims, 11 of them under 16, after a tragic canoeing accident back in the 80's. I was with a police force at the time and counselling was a thing of future! I've come to terms with it now but I must admit it that it remained in my thoughts for years and tradgedies such as the recent avalanche in B.C. refresh painful memories. Fly Safe!

I don't know what was harder heli logging flying or counting the money.If I ever got frustrated or worked to hard,I would look at how many minutes I had been in the air multiply by 3 bucks and that made everything better. Worked great for 10000 hrs!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

How true! Way better than working for a living!

 

I find anything that involves passengers is difficult. Can't they just find their own way?
