I never wanted to do this in the first place!
I... I wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers
of British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

Sorry - got carried away there 😳

How important is the 'foresty' bit in 'Experienced in commercial forestry'?

If you can be flexible... I'm your man.

Bloody hell, so you're not an equal opportunity employer then!!??

Next you'll be expecting an STW forumite to be hard working and motivated... I don't know, some people... jeez.

sadly, as Sandwich says, there should be no shortage of applicants.

i reckon that would be my ideal job - as long as you get to use those eight wheel drive terminator style machines as well!
