Choker setters at work attaching a log to a skyline in Cowlitz County, Washington (October 1941)

A choker setter or choke setter is a logger who attaches cables to logs for retrieval by skidders or skylines.[1][2] The work process involves the choker setter wrapping a special cable end (choker) around a log and then moving clear so the yarding engineer (e.g. skidder operator) can pull the log to a central area.[3][4] In clearcutting, fallers will typically cut down all the trees and limb and buck them into logs before the choke setters and others arrive to remove the logs.[5][6]

Radio controlled

Old chokers were made of metal. New chokers are safer, quicker and thus more productive. They are also radio controlled.
