Yup, not a bad job but he didn't yell "TIMBER" or do the obligatory manly man heroic pose on top of the stump either. All we got to see was the Log Dance. I'll give him an 8.5 on the cutting but only a 3 on entertainment.
chains, jack, wedges, cable etc all in the crummy where they belong climbing gear is somewheres? think the neighbor still has it? I'll leave the ladders to Bob.
Well I did have wedges on me, but these didn't need em.

That shows u'r inexperience. Wedges are most important on head leaners! They allow you to leave a thicker hinge and they protect you and your saw from backward jumping trees.

LMAO........it a paint can with a wheel on it so dudes can cut they farwood the same length every time. cuz you know 17 instead of 16 just won't burn.

Ha! That's the one!
Ah... I see, I got a spencer tape or two... does that count, except its kinda hard to stick a 34' log in the fire place, but I guess you would only need to spit it one time then just keep pushing it into the fire as it burns down, could make one stick last the better part of a week...

nm, a 34' log might require leaving the front door open. OWB would solve that issue tho

North- were those alders a little punky or do they normally cut that fast? With two feet of snow in the woods I try walkin on as much wood as I can right now. I've been doing a lot of that fancy dancing myself.

a few years back I hired on piece cutting hardwood for a guy in winter. snow was crotch deep so we started cutting on snowshoes. have to walk pigeon toed down the logs. the shoes work very good for walking in the tops and over brush.

Im pretty tall so i dont have much trouble running with snowshoes. I always walked in my escape route for less chance of a stumble.
Thats just a sharp chain and green alder, with perhaps too much saw... Thanks to the Junk Man for the chain, think its the last one he did for me, and its got a couple days of cutting on it already...
If your not used to alder or if you've been cutting fir or hemlock all day its pretty easy to overdue the face cuts and get yer saw stuck pretty bad, Alders pretty much always lean hard somewhere, so overcutting doesn't take much, since the idea is to make a huge face anyway.
To put it in perspective the Fir and Hemlock is harder then some species of maple, and nearly on par with our big leaf maples. The alder cuts about like ponderosa pine, without the sap or pointy needles.
Mature, nice alder being cut on a very windy day. I forgot my tripod, sorry.
