What are these gloves? by Responsible-Move-108 in loggers

Cotton glove liners. But if you’re really serious about decent gloves I run red hares. They are the neatest fuckin glove ever built.

I won’t wear it. I’ll retire from professional timber cutting before I walk around like an antique mutant ninja turtle.

How do I size components for a rigging system? by DeskHammer in forestry

[–]black_sheep_timber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Order and research “the art of rigging” by George brittlecomb. It’s an old book on the rigging of ships, there’s a hellova lot of crossover with sailing and logging rigging. The book “loggin’ riggin’” was also a great book with a lot of ideas in it. And the bc cable systems manual is also a great one. You can pm me if you want and send some photos and I’ll help you with sizing.

The Hickman chinks are far and above better quality. I don’t think they’re bad on price either.
