Two jobs:
1. Christmas tree harvesting off the Oregon coast. They sent you in groups of two and you had to bundle up to 20 trees in a "nat" (20' long 3" thick ropes) for helicopter extraction. Conditions were wet and cold and they only gave us a 30 minute lunch break....I still have the boots I purchased to keep my feet dry.
2. Lumber Mill - pulled plainer chain and on the first day I worked the wood chipper. I swear I couldn't write with a pencil for a few days after day one and my lower got screwed up...I was basically bent over ALL day throwing wood scraps on the conveyor belt to the chipper and they came in dumpsters every 30 minutes.
