Holy cheese & rice!!!!!

Nice vid Sling'r!!!

I like the way it sortof slid down the face upon it closing!

Didn't like the still running saw being tossed off the plank though! It was kinda like watchin a 5 year old kid get slapped. Made me tear up!

Great vid!

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!! Could have done without the "saw toss" though, that was painful. The crew knew what they were doing, nice job.

Must have been 5 guys there, no one could hand him the saw?



Or take it when hes done?





But Hey, Who am I?

I think that the sound was a bit out of sync - he tossed the saw after it was switched off. Tossing a saw into a pile of brash from 5 feet up wouldn't hurt it. But, yeah, it worried me for a while.

I dropped a MS440 from twenty five feet up once,and the engine never even cut off.....Five feet shouldn't hurt it.

WOW!!!
That was awesome!! I can't imagine the "rush" you would get dropping one of those.
Thanks for posting that.

How do they handle a log that size once it is down? Heck I bet a 1 inch thick cookie would weigh a few hundred pounds.

 

[tumbleweed]

thats cool!

 

[Canyon Angler]

Wow! That's some tree! What kind of tree was it, and how old ya think?

 

[Tzed250]

Wow

Cool video, but I think they broke the log when they dropped it on a hump. Thats what it looked like to me anyway.

 

[Canyon Angler]

I think you'd have a tough time breaking that log! :monkey: In fact, I think it'd be tough to even bend!

 

[BostonBull]

you would be surprised what a logs own weight is capable of!

It was a redwood and it is really brittle. If you look closely you and see re-prod (smaller trees) fell accross the lay. That was intended to be a bed for the tree.
Another bed type would be humps running the opposite direction of the lay. The humps are built from dirt with a cat or what ever.
They help with the shiver effect a redwood will surrcomb too.
This tree did break - you can see it - not too far up from the butt.
Must have been down by Fortuna, CA.

You would be suprised at how many big trees break on the lay. Lots of mass, and all it takes is an unseen stump, or dip in the terrain.

Nice vid Tree Sling'r!!!

Well, I never would have thought that. Shows how much I know! :taped:

Those old growth redwoods are incredible... not a lot of them left and a lot of the remaining stock is protected. They are some of the oldest and largest living things on earth. Superior building wood, very rot resistant, and gorgeous to look at. The original Stars Wars movie (the part with the Ewoks) was filmed in the Redwoods. You MUST see them if you can.... Even if you just get to San Francisco, go across the Golden Gate to John Muir Woods, you can't help but be impressed.
