Timber Harvesting magazine Senior Associate Editor David Abbott highlights the Egolf brothers, Arthur and Paul, and their separate logging operations in the Delmarva Peninsula. Brothers Arthur and Paul Egolf share a somewhat unconventional method of running their businesses. Though each brother owns a separate company, they run the companies in much the same way: alone, with no crew. Cutting, skidding, loading and hauling, the two are each in effect a one-man show. “I’m always asked, don’t you feel unsafe out there by yourself?” Arthur, 47, relates. “Not really. You read those safety bulletins, and I bet 30-40% of those accidents are caused by another employee.” It came about because of Arthur’s experience working for another logger on what was supposed to be a three-man crew. “He was just constantly going through skidder operators,” Arthur recalls.
