In this episode I chat with feller buncher operator Ryan Kirkpatrick.  Ryan didn't come from a logging family but it's all he wants to do now.  We chat about how Ryan got into the seat of a buncher and how he likes it now that he's got a few years of experience.  I like to give this dude a hard time but he's getting really good at cutting trees.  In this episode we also talk about his doggo, Maverick who will ALWAYS find something for you to throw for him to fetch.

Already at 20 episodes, I want to thank everyone for the support so far!  I have a lot of fun recording these and I'm glad folks enjoy listening to them. 

In today's episode we get way off track and dive into a bunch of things that I don't usually get into.  We also talk about what its like to be a young business owner running a young crew and what to do if you get your ruck off in the ditch in the snow.

In this episode of Cork boots and Photo Shoots I sit down with Jeff Brink from Brink's Land Improvement.  We talk about the challenges associated with the hazard tree removal jobs and what else you can do with a log loader and a 1000 horse power wood grinder.  

Jeff will be hard to miss at the Oregon Logging Conference this year, swing by his booth and tell him you heard it here.

In this episode we talk with Chris Rhoades who is the Lane County, Oregon Territory Manager for Papé Machinery.  Chris has a long background in equipment repair and GPS technology.  With his background in the industry and his knowledge of heavy equipment I think it sets him apart from a lot of other sales people.

See Chris at the Oregon Logging Conference this week and please, let him know you heard his episode here!

This is episode 13 of The Landing Podcast.  

This is the first edition of the bonus segment I'm calling Cork Boots & Photo Shoots.  In these bonus segments we will dive into the timber industry from other directions, interviewing folks who are not boots on the ground in the woods every day and folks who may work in industries that support the timber industry.  I also thought it would be the perfect segment to open the podcast up to people outside the United States Pacific Northwest.

Kelway is a great candidate to kick off this bonus segment being from British Columbia and currently holding a sales role with Timbermax traction assist systems.  More on their products can be seen at www.timbermax.ca

Kelway will also be attending the Timbermax booth at the Oregon Logging Conference this year so swing by his booth and let him know you listened to the podcast!

In this episode I talk with Spencer Tuyls about what it's like working in the woods as an equipment operator, running shovel mostly.  We get into some of his pet peeves and what he likes about working in the woods.  Spencer and I know a lot of the same people so we talk about some of those guys too.  We also dive into why I have a personal connection with one of PER Trucking's "beaters" as they call them.

If you enjoy these podcasts please share them, I don't run ads for ball shavers and cat litter on the show because that's what everyone else does and I hate listening to them too. If you would like to be on the show, send me an email at [email protected]

The Oregon Logging Conference is just a couple weeks out, February 24th-26th.  I hope to see everyone there.
