What do you eat out there? Working in the forest is fun but you can’t only work, you have to eat as well. Last winter I decides to be sound, so I made different kinds of sallad in the evenings that I brought to the forest the next day. It was great, for a few weeks.

I´m not sure, but it must have been the industry that pushed the development towards Cut-To-Length systems as pulpwood and saw logs never went to the same place. The forest companies thought that it was more efficient to do the sorting directly in the forest and bring the wood directly from the forest to the right mill.

Feller butchers to us here in Sweden and Northern Europe are small and mainly used for bioenergy harvesting. The big ones that you see in North America haven’t been used here for decades as the CTL-harvesters has taken over. But where, apart from North America, are the big feller butchers actually used? Are there any here in Europe?

I sometimes wish I had a machine with me in similar situations 🙂
