Bashlin Climbing Spikes Are Part of the Lumberjack’s Tools of the Trade

Have you ever watched the television show “Axemen”?  It is about lumberjacks and the dangers and hardships they face everyday in doing their jobs.  This is not a career for anyone afraid of hard work.  Those chain saws they use to cut down the trees are pretty hefty, and one mistake can cost a man a limb or his life.  There are times when the lumberjacks have to climb the trees and they use equipment such as Bashlin Climbing Spikes to assist them in getting up the tree trunks.  These men risk their lives on a daily basis to earn a living and provide us with the timber for the wood products we use.  So the next time you hammer a board into place or admire a beautiful piece of wooden furniture, remember the hard working men who made it possible.
