Sorry Mike. Chain slinging ain't for me. I know too many people who had
bad last experiences with 'em. Why anyone would want the danger
associated with logging may be sort of a death wish.

Don't get me wrong. There is extreme artistry in falling a 150-foot tall
tree precisely where you want it to go, while taking off side-branches of
nearby trees without harming it. That's real skill, and an excellent
example of forestry and logging in tandem. Clearcutting is perhaps the
worst example of that relationship. (Unless your home happens to be
downhill from a clearcut that causes a landslide.)
