What a fantastic looking company. Hats off to Bill Malloch and co. A lot of "get up and go" exhibited in these photos, BC looks like a fine place to live and work. You sure do build the right equipment for the job. Thanks, John.

Great looking setting and equipment. Do they still operate out of logging camps or are the roads good enough that everyone drives in everyday? I stay in a caravan in the woods where I'm working, anyone do that in this area of BC?

On the Mainland Coast of British Columbia and West Coast of Vancouver Island there are still isolated places where logging company's have camps , but most areas on Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley are accessible by paved roads . The big camps that use to be are pretty much gone , most loggers work locally and commute from their homes to their place of work . If the company they work for or they find work to far from home to commute , they stay in Motels or live out of travel trailers or motor homes .
