Nice pic Tramp! What type of wood was all on the job? Spruce I'm guessing? I have a vague knowledge of what you guys all have out there.

Sitka spruce and Western Hemlock.
I finally got some semi consistent cell service. . I'm in the Anchorage Airport at the moment.

yup, tramp was busy. bitz, ain't it a shame there's no grade beech. we are over run with it.

Well, someone should make a market for it then. Don't they log the pizz out'a Beech in Germany?

Wasting timber is nothin' new. Back in the 1970's my dad said he laid down some nice wood to rot, like white pine, etc. Not grade stuff, but they wanted it out'a the units.

Now they'd pay a healthy price for it.

WOW Glen!! You weren't kidding about that being a blow down unit.

Some of them standing Hemlock ain't lookin' real good either.

how you getting the logs out of there ?

 

[tramp bushler]

We've got the subgrade in for the truck road. . Dan's going to swing them with the shovel to the landing then load them from there

The butt log will pay for my entire travel and cutting cost
Its a 40'10", 40" small end. Scribner is 3,000 board feet . The heart is centered and it has no defect or limbs. More than 12 rings per inch. It was 5' across the stump.

Nice pictures Glen. I sure would like to lay into a few that size just once.

I didn't trim ore the stump pull. As I didn't pull the guts out of it. Ya don't be ruining the best log on the claim. . I saved it out to 96' the breeze was blowing off and on from left to right. If I brought it too much to the left Iwould have messed up what we had decked there and busted it at 75-80' . Course a good puff had to come as it was taking off.

I like the Bugs. They have stainless steel mesh so they don't rust. They make them in 10,20+30 mesh. These are the 30 and they keep everything out but are kind of dark. The 20 is a pretty good compromise but you can't look into your sawdust.
