Lol, I'll leave it be...Nice pics, looks like you had a good amount of respect for avoiding fiber-pull. My boss would like you. Funny how many people can't seem to figure that one out. Took a couple ass chewings for me.......I still make mistakes. Sometimes you have to get out of the way though.

That squeaking sound carries, the Bullbuck can hear it over any other noise. If he hears it, you will hear about it.

It is a cringe inducing sound. Seems like the only time I make it is when the big boss is walking down the hill about 50 feet above me to tell me where to head to for the next day. Never ####in' fails.

Thanks for the pics Randy & Sam.
I hope it's a good day for you fellas today 4 July and all that, I'm sat in the jeep 48f at 7 30am watching a Buzzard hunting out on my left and a Kestral on the right then I will be savaged alive by horse flies for the rest of the day in a bog getting a large beech out so think of me as you celebrate the day !

Don't let the horseflies bite! I almost forgot it was the 4th! I need to grab me some beer and charcoal and hawtdawgs(yeah, like I'm gonna find me some hotdogs here. Maybe frankfurters...).
Happy 4th, y'all!

I'd rather have no pull, but if a guy's gonna get some, I pick the stump. 
Greenwedge, You guys hanging lift blocks or having to run jacks? Our last strip we were running lift blocks quite a bit and pulling a ways behind them. Coopers side bags for the motor bike are awesome.

Here are a couple fo pics of todays fun and you can be sure I had a few bumps from bites going home !!
The tree is a Beech that came over in a storm some months ago, have been waiting for some time to get in on some dry ground, as you can see in one of the pics it's still pretty wet !

Wowzers.....I go out of my way to make sure I never use our company's name on this site just for the fact that if I post something that I should'nt have it does not fall back on the best employer in the intire history of logging boss's! Man I'm just tickled to be working here! It's nice to be working with a bunch of go getter's! Do good work, lots of it and he damn sure pays ya for it. I cannot beleive all of those years I spent in Alaska thinking I was cutting a fat hog when the best paying job in the industry was back home! They expect allot and want er done by the book, there way or the highway, and that is just the way I like it!!!! Work Tuff pay Tuff!!! Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page as far as not saying who we work for......if you do please do not realate any of my posts to your claims. As far as the logging goes Wes has been doing lots of climbing. Just kinda depends on the line though. About mid week we will be strung out clear across the creek from where the yarder is sitting up there on the 6 mile! They will be flat out flying logs!!! I'm going to make damn sure and get some pic's of that. Don't ever tell any of them I told you this for I'll flat out deny it but I sure have a whole lot of respect for that rigging crew. They have there business wired tight! That flipping Wes is an animal. He had some super long lines to rig, humps in the middle of strips that he has to rig lift trees, not to mention that this is pole job with some of the bigges Cedar I have ever cut, and he has been getten er all out with out breaking it, staying ahead, and always smiling and positive.....My kind of guy....WoW!!!! I wrote a novel!
Sounds like the kind of outfit that is a pleasure to work with. I will miss that. There is one I've had quite a bit and they are professional, correct any problems right away, and I have delivered cookies to them for it.
The hooktender will say, "We'll make it right!" and they do.
He and I climbed up through some pretty nasty units looking for tail trees for downhilling. I think we had to climb half again as far as the corridor to find decent trees. I always lost weight when they started going.

Pettibone yarder, they used to fly 100" butts a mile with it. The top 50 feet was blown off by lightning.

This is flipping cool! Will you do me a favor and explain this whole outfit to me? I have never heard of a pettibone yarder and am excited to add to the knowledge bank......its pretty empty!
Greenwedge, Big 10-4 on the work thing. I feel the same way. We just got done with our pole job and are finally back in a normal strip. One of the cutters who used to rig came and worked with us for a couple weeks. Man that guy knows his stuff about rigging. Wish I could have worked with him for a couple months just to try an learn a some of the tricks he knows.
