But there's not much market for that around here. Ditto for forestry, and my wife doesn't want to move away from Chicago, though I'm working on her. (it is a shame) Forestry would be GREAT if there were anything more than tiny state parks here.
Lumberjack would be fun, though I would feel guilty about cutting down trees. The mounties in the background... that would be fun. I have to wonder why they use horses and not ATVs or dirtbikes though...

actuallly there is a HUGE movement here in the Northwest to return to horse logging and that is why I got my first Draft Horses. I was really interested in doing that (my partner flaked out on me). Horse logging makes it easy to get very specific trees whether they be identified for size, disease, whatever.... heavy equipment is not brought in knocking down everything in the way. the horses can skid the logs out to a road, or sometimes if it is REALLY remote choppers will come pick up loads.
bbut then again, kind of outside of Chicago
