a few pics of today's snagfalling

[forestryworks]

32" dbh and deader than a doornail
********************************************

this was 22" dbh and leaned hard to the right.
i put a chunk of wood back
into the face. it worked like a charm, swung it
right into lay.

a freshly dead elm - no rot and the tops didn't wobble when wedging...
but i still didn't go pounding... just some firm taps

all the snags were on the edge of a creek bed which dropped off at 100% slopes anywhere from 10 - 20ft down...
and the creekbed was the only access to the snags because of all the greenbriar and thick underbrush.
alot of up and down the slopes - but it was a good workout.
