My father-in-law Art was a timber faller for 60 years. He made a lot of stumps in that time. Hard, dirty dangerous work. He was injured a lot and probably used up all of his nine lives and then some. He is very knowledgeable about the outdoors and the conservation of the forest. At 82 he is still pretty active. He no longer works in the woods but he still will cut out limbs and trees for people on their property. He is expert and getting the felled trees to land right where he wants them. And he is an all around good guy.
