If any of you have watched Ax Men and some of the other logging shows on discovery and what have you and heard the whistles on the site where they are logging, and wondered what they meant. This will help you out. I was going to sit down one day and list all of them which we used, but I went down to the shop today at Schaffers and they had an EDCO Yarder sitting there and low and behold there on the side of it was a printed listing installed by the factory of the standard Whistle signals. So I photoed it and it is below.
Some of the older guys on the forum like myself will recognize them if they worked around the landing on a Sky Line Operation but for those of you not familiar with logging I thought they would give a better understanding of our signal language from the hole to the Yarder.
These are standard for all operations on a skyline system so they will be easy to understand. As soon as I can find the slack line signals which is an all together different system I will post them.
Feel free to copy them off and next time you watch Ax Men or any other logging show where they are yarding, you can listen and know what they are saying by the whistle toots and beeps.
