Traipsing Thru Tall Timber: Courting Death as a Montana Logger

Life for most people is a stiff challenge. Seldom indeed are good jobs handed to one on a platter.

You typically, train, study, and learn to pursue a path to perfection.

When tackling the job of a Montana timber faller, I jumped in with both feet on the first day.

This was truly a situation of live and learn as you go.

I was blessed beyond belief to make it through each and every week.

By keeping my nose to the grindstone and my eyes ever vigilant on my surroundings, I was able to survive countless encounters that were destined to cripple my career.

In the end, I am still alive and smiling. Someone is surely watching over me.
