Ya know, it's that kinda wood where a guy can cut a long time, and if he's careful, he only has to worry bout his chain get'n a little wood dull.

Cept down by the devilish root plates.

It's funny, a guys just tooling along and sees some dirt in his buck and thinks, "Crap, this'll fer sure make me change out." LOL It's like I try to get a record on each chain for how long I can make it last.

Like my pard Cody always says, "I hate fricken grinding chain!" LOL

Oh ya.

 

[northmanlogging]

it's there if you want it.

got deep roots where I'm at... not sure I could just up and leave like I used to. Its in my head now... we'll see what the next few years bring, hoping to go logging full time anyways. War dept. gave the go ahead as long I'm not fishing... mentioned something about being a camp cookie...

The last tree I fell on the sale. Got a 33 39 + a 33-34 out of it. It was 48" across the stump.
It had a real crooked limb top.

Awesome Pics Glen! Man that makes me want to chase the tall sticks. Nice work! Those big spruce look like they are fun to cut.

Yeah those bugz kick ass. I've been wearing the same 20 mesh ones for a year and a half now. If you're laying out looking east in the morning it can be kinda tough to see whats flying back at ya though. Otherwise I never cut without em.

Why aren't you smilin'? does it have to do w/ one butt log payin' for you!LOL. Just kiddin'. Nice job!!!!

No. He is the one taking all the financial risk. It was a real good job. . Dan got smashed by a tree 20 years ago or so. His right leg is fused in his ankle and knee.
He is a great hand and works a lot more in all he does. But he is kinda hindered climbing around in the brush. We work real well together. . When I'm sitting there panting he doesn't prod me to jump and run.

Our plan for this unit was to get it cut and decked with no one getting hurt and nothing getting broke. God blessed us and we had no serious injuries only broke a couple hyd fittings and I broke my bar. Had a 22" spruce cut slam it hard and one side broke and the chain got kinda pretzel ed and ripped in half.

Working safe and together is the only way-Did't mean any disrespect, for sure. I broke my knee all by myself on Sat.. But i wasn't Loggin'. Trees like that always have a way of puttin' a grin on a fellers face, Good Job!:msp_smile:

Broke your knee?

Black Hills

Took a trip to the Black Hills of SD last week. It is one of the most heavily logged national forests in the Rockies. Lots of short logs. I mean, pecker poles.

Pretty country, but the towns are too developed and commercialized for me. I like my mountain towns to have a little wildness in them. Didn't like seeing an abundance of Smooth Bromegrass there though. I guess you can always count on county roads departments to keep introducing invasive species :bang:

 

[jrcat]

I like living in an economically stunted area. To cheap to plant invasive species lol.

I've got a "big cottonwood" to fall in the next week or so. Went and looked at it this morning, and the power company had topped it down to 25'. Not much to play with. Probably 40"+ on the stump. We'll see what happens with the ol' 066.

TB, thanks for taking the time to shoot all these pictures and then post them for our enjoyment. That blowdown patch looks like something that would kill me within an afternoon. Looking forward to your giant spruce video. As has been said, you need to set up a youtube account, upload it there, right click the video and copy the link, click the insert video box at the top of the post, then paste the address into the box where they ask for it. Should show up in the preview post for you to see. I've been waiting for you to post yours before I post mine. I wouldn't want you to have too much competition:msp_biggrin: (that was a joke, I'm not qualified to even pack your stuff)
