Hey Bart I think the best way to train long line is to have the co pilot fly lite touch on the controls for a lot of hours. It helps if your not training Roby pilots, hours not with standing. Roby's are well, T stick lawnmowers.

I grew up in Seeley Lake, in another logging community and I enjoy the effort your crew goes to perform " light on the land logging " with your helicopter. I would have liked to see more of your crew on Axemen, but on the other hand, S&S Aqua Logging was also quite entertaining. I am sure your company has plenty of exposure and job seekers after the show, but if you are in need for more labor, I have experience in the woods and would love to work in Montana with a group of professionals who also love their jobs.

Hey guys..congrats on being a very interesting part of AXMEN. I was watching tonight and wanted to suggest that you attach a battery-operated strobe light on the choker's vest so he is more easily and quickly seen by the pilot. This would free up his hands from the day-glo pom-pom too. Keep a big strobe near the landing site too. This will be a blessing during a visibility crisis. Yours is the only crew without a lot of swearing and screaming at each other. Wish you had a Jolly Green, but they are pretty expensive to get and operate. Don't trust anything Russian!

Saw your AxMen show last night with "rookie" Ron Crowe. We haven't seen or talked to Ron for years. Since I last talked to Ron I finished my Commerical Fixed Wing, but never completed my helicopter rating and never have used my Commerical. My dad and Ron's dad go back a long time. What a suprize to see Ron on the show. Of course we would like to see more of Ron on the show. We hope you can make a good pilot out of the "rookie". Please pass my email address on to Ron. We would love to hear from him.

Last time I saw you, Bart, we were working with a bunch of cool weirdos on a temp project for the City of Hollywood, cutting down Brazillian Pepper trees in about '83. Think we spoke when you were an ensign at Pensacola and I had just gotten stationed in the Army at the Fla. Ranger Camp at Eglin, AFB. So glad to see you put your talent to good use. I was half asleep in front of the tv when I heard your name and it jerked me awake. All the best! Carry On!

Glad to see heli-logging on Ax Men, being a Canadian logger as well as a heli-pilot though not both at the same time. But I have been a co-pilot on a B214 grapple logging for a couple of cycles (Transwest Helicopters). Have you looked at the B214 8000 lb lift capability. Bart I felt for you up there in the fog with 4 min fuel left please go get even a cheap gps that will get you back to the pad, I fly with min 2 gps just incase. That Steve sure says sorry alot is that what he's going to say when he over torques the machine and cracks your tail boom! Any way hope you win the load count. Regards Dave

It is great to see a Montana logging company on Ax Men. I was wondering where exactly the cutting unit you were working on in the show was located? I read the Ravalli Republic article that said it was near the Garnet Ghost town. I worked for the BLM in 06 and marked a very large beetle salvage sale all around the ghost town in the Bear, Elk, and Washoe creek drainages.
