Logger Lingo

Came across a bunch of definitions at Rural Heritage.

Here's a couple...

escape path—Predetermined route, preferably at a 45 degree angle away from a falling tree, a cutter uses to get away from the falling tree.

hardware—Hidden metal debris inside a tree or log that, as all loggers know, has a magnetic field that draws sawchains into it.

jail bird—Logger who cuts over the property line.

mountain—Any hill steeper than a wheelchair ramp.

muzzle loader—Logging camp bunks so close together they must be entered from the end.
