Todd, at WB we help each other out. I'm a member of numerous logging and forestry forums but I rarely post on them because loggers, more than most groups, seem to have some axe to grind (see what I did there). Most loggers especially the young ones still full of testosterone want to bring this attitude that they are some elite group of warriors that others must worship and bow down to. We don't have that kind of attitude here because most of us are grown men who see through that bullshite. The vast majority of the younger men here may not have our experience, but they have the humility and respect and willingness to learn that it takes to become good at anything they attempt.
The idea that someone is "born a logger" is funny and made me shirk at the thought of the poor mother giving birth to a baby with a running chainsaw in its hands.
Anyone with an IQ above 90 can be trained to be a safe effective logger. In fact, many of the loggers I've been around probably had an IQ closer to 60.
