Looks like some footage from the movie "Timber Tramps"? If so, some was filmed up the Bradfield River and Zarembo Is. near Wrangell.

Left too little of a coupling. Lost my butt log. Too steep to ride down the side of this one. Usually I'll buck them and leave a coupling so I can snap them at the bottom to save time.

First time in almost a week on the saw yesterday. After breakdowns and bull#### I sat in the machine for 2 and a half days. Its amazing how rusty a guy can get after time off from the saw. Anyway these red oaks were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sawtimber trees for the day. They made 4 12s and 6 10s. I also made 7 pulp sticks out of the tops and from a maple pulp tree (first tree to go that was out of camera shot). I cut about four minutes off of this video where I was out of shot. Didn't want to bore the hell out of you guys too much! I planned to lay all three out right away and then buck, but didn't like the look of it so I bucked and pulped the first two out before I dumped the third. I also had to swing the second two from a deer stand that they were leaning at. I must have nicked something when pulpin out the tops because my saw was binding a little when layin out that third one. ####### pulp and ####### rocks!

Hey, I just watched the vid to make sure its showing right (makin sure damn new fangled tech stuff works) and it only showed 3 and a half minutes of it. I just reposted it and it should be 8 min and some change. Hopefully it works this time. Yeah I know long movies can be tough to watch...

great pics bitz, if I could jus remember the camera I'd share too. cutting almost the same stuff only tree length. glad to see franklin is back up and running. catch ya later.
 
I really love the sound of that 390 Bitz. Strong, strong looking saw. I thought that first bucking cut would be a challenge. Nope. Nice looking timber

what gauge you need ? might know were ther are some .063's . 3/8's of course. they were the best bars i have ever ran. didnt know you could still get them. local knife maker used to love it when one of us would mess one up. never ran one longer then 36" though.
 
Well hell Bitz! You waz bushelin'!! :rock:

On the dutch you threw in, ya might try it like old Ron showed me to see if ya like it?

Cut in past your gun until the tree sits a bit. . . Power out to keep the kerf clean of chips. Cut your face in. Now, start sawing up the back but favor the dutch side a little to encourage that initial momentum you need, and keep sawing to keep it going. Then a fella can blip his way more into the hold-side with the trigger, to saw it up as it swings.

If that makes sense? :dizzy:

:laugh:

He runs that saw the way it should be run. Listen to it again...he get's every bit of work out of that saw that he can without ramming and jamming and beating the hell out of it. He's letting it run free and letting it eat...not forcing it. That's the way a saw should be run.
He's getting some wood on the ground with a minimum of fuss and very little wasted motion...and he's not killing his saw doing it.

And it does sound good. For a Husky. :msp_biggrin:
