I've been offered a chance to go to the Yukon Territory this next year to run a Woodmizer for a couple of weeks up to a month. Located between Eagle, AK and Dawson. YT. Can you say "Boondocks? Be kind of like a paid vacation. No real access this time of year as the roads are not maintained. Snowmobiles, snow shoes, skis or stay at home. Totally off the grid.
I'd drive with a "new" pickup if I go but the wife is a little reluctant. About 4 days of hard driving on a lot of gravel roads.
The people I'd visit are building a kind of resort and currently support one of the sled dog races (Yukon Quest?). She has a Dr. title in front of her name.
Don't know if it will happen but I'm playing with the idea. The "Woodmizer" might be a real downer though! lol

the woodmizer might be fine if you pack your truck full of spare parts to keep you sawing :)we have found with our "industrial" woodmizer if we don't run it fulltime it's dosen't have as many break downs >:(
might be a fun experiance sawing deep in the bush

I would do that in a heartbeat!

Sounds pretty interesting to me, too. 8)
