That picture is in Jerry Beranek's book "High Climbers and Timber Fallers." In the book, he tells some good stories about the faller in that picture, Mike Davis.

Mike's son Dustin later posted some awesome pictures of his dad working the big Redwoods on Facebook.

That is a really cool book, I got that for Christmas several years ago and I like to read it and look at the cool pictures from time to time.

How do these trucks not tip over?
Obviously overloaded.

Probably more than a mile lol. The thinnest stock we use is 80lb and th rolls have 35000 ft on them. Kraft paper ranges from 50-90lb. The papaer I run the most of comes from Virginia and is .012 thick card stock for kids games.

Big Island VA by chance?

Nothing like being on the mainlines, are the ones down there in bound/out bound for call out or Right/Wrong way call out for the mile markers down there Randy?
