Wow! Quite a little work horse. I like the dual winch setup.

Crazy question, who ya got hauling logs for ya off the island? Only know of one outfit that does is regularly, most of the guys I use won't do it, or charge an arm and a leg.

Been a great snow year for us but its defiantly starting to look more like spring than winter around here

There is a fellow named Rick (i think) on the island who owns a truck and hauls logs for us and a bunch of other folks regularly. I could get his contact info if you're interested.
and yeah no surprise they charge an arm and a leg... damn ferries are expensive!!

I'm from the south end of the Big Big Island, north of the Gulf Islands. but over on the BC lower mainland now.

 

[Andrewpowley]

oh man were are neighbors... I keep telling myself that Im gunna catch the ferry over to the big island to check it out but still haven't done it yet. I hear great things about it

Did you guys on the mainland get some decent snow on monday?

 

[northmanlogging]

still stomping through it in places...

I don't generally mess around on the islands much, Camano, or Whidbey is about it, the san juans are a bit outside my play ground.

I work in it 5 months out of the year.
6 if we're up even higher.
I'm usually over it before it hits

Always pretty though.

One thing I will say, just like skiers love those face shots on powder days. Nothing like dumping a large tree with a full canopy of fresh snow. What a whiteout.
Loggers face shot.

Nope good timing.

Why did that one need the jack?

 

[1270d]

Wish that wood like that could grow around here. Correction, it will grow but will be junky.

 

[bitzer]

Why did that one need the jack?

The stem was fairly vertical but had some serious limb weight over the back that kept it sky bound. I couldn't get it to take wedges worth a damn and i had a black top driveway and the landowners front yard right behind me. The truck was parked a few tree lengths away so I grabbed the jack, cut a hole, and about 4 cranks later she was ready to tip. I wish I would have done it in the first place because it had crossed my mind before I started sawing.
