I wear em loose sawdust falls right thru and you get ventalation when you move just hang em from your suspenders.

thats the way I do also when wearing suspenders, the fact is the saw dust tends to accumulate in certain areas that are rather undesirable. . .

I think wearing a tight fitting pant would work better...
 
Don,t wear loose suspenders ,ya goon :confused: wear loose fitting pants .... Ya know how people get smarter when they get older ... Well ya know how old guys wear these BOZO pants ... Theres a reason for that . The chips just fall straight down thru ... See your young and still stylin ......... When I take my spenders off my shoulders ,my trousers hit the floor .. Buck the bottoms of them off about a foot in the air and they are nice and drafty . keep ya cool and collected ya know .......

Tight pants cause the pine straw crawl.
A pine needle will crawl right up your pants leg and poke you in the most inappropriate place if your pants are to tight.
Don't ask me how I know.
 
Spent a melancholy night drinkin' beer with a fellow in Alpine in OR (Westside, not Eastside) in summer 1997.

His uncle Bob had recently been killed in a skidder rollover accident, and his employer (out of Bellfountain, as I recall?) barely paid to bury the dude who died on their dime. We ad-libbed a quiet ceremony late that night when my woods partner and I joined him in leaving memorial hats at his Uncle's tinfoil gravesite. I haven't returned there yet, but I will.

I never met his uncle Bob, but I have known a couple dozen of him over the years. You have too. They are the guys who know How Things Work, and who have Been There. When they retire, their home phone rings off the hook 24/7 for years because their knowledge is still in demand.

If this story smells familiar, drop me a PM. You know who you are.
 
My Grandpa was from Witipitlock (spelling?) near Reed's Plantation, I'm second generation Californian. The stories I heard about Maine...I should go see it.

falling poplar uphill, had to make sure it didn't slide back down and bust gas line- super open face (on the butt, added hambolt for super open face, with stumpshot. intended to stay on stump, oh well, no damage.

trying to pop that butt down the hill sidehill poplar

lots of butt rot in this area hence the high stumps, we generally still would have to butt off 2-3 feet where they'd clean up
