Thanks fellas. I have had some wood alot worse on this unit, and some nicer wood. Don't always get to take pictures. Cody, your package is going out soon. Looks like I might have a few days off. Haven't been able to get home by five this week to mail it. There will be a day we will cut. There is some big tall pine that are beyond increadible leaners LOL (you'd have fun trying to swing them), as well as a few good crumbs in the upper corner left. Not sure if I'm going to cut those pine. I'll get a picture when I go back. 084 would do it

Awesome pics Burvol! Keep em coming. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Stihl should come up with a better way to keep that delflector in there. I always thought it should need a little more like a bolt on or something.

Wheelin' in reverse. Hard to tell from angle, but the butt is about 4 feet off the ground, and is hanging out about 15 feet suspended off a small blow down.
Coming in from bottom first, get to your far side as soon as possible, and keep going like mad.

Coming up, pulling in and out, back to front, up up up at WOT

Stop at about 1 inch from top (sap wood basically, the strong strap holding the tension) and the pull out and snip. I'm coming out right now.

My apprentice didn't get the last pictures I wanted, but I tried Jameson. Will get another for ya.

What the hell is that sitting on that log?

What the hell is that sitting on that log?

Mystery saw. Half wrap something. Skidder tossed it out to leave at bottom of hill if he needs it

 

[Burvol]

Once a really nice fir stood here

 

[Burvol]

Bottom of the unit. Third skidder stopped and I threw my phone at him for a picture. Hard leaner with a RMZ ( F class) behind it. This was a nice stick. Bucked just shy of 3 bushel out of two logs (31& 28) in 36's, left the other two or one and half for the processor.

Where's the mud and rain? Occasional wind too? You work in a flat banana belt!! I need to go find my tin pants and long johns. Bye...

Western Larch in these parts Randy. . . Looses it's needles like a deciduous tree in the fall. . . To the untrained eye they would look dead once the needles are gone.

Similar to Tamarack, but different. . . Although, they are referred by that name up here as well. One of the best firewood trees we get -- that and DF.

Summer

Fall

As you can see, they can get rather large:

Those pictures are up near Seely Lake. . . Sam was logging near there (Swan area). . . And it's about an hour and a half drive from me.

How do you tell the differance, I've always thought they were one in the same...cut tons of it for firewood. Anywhere from 1 ft to 5 ft dia. What do you guys mean by punmkin tree???

Pumpkin = big azz trees!! Burvol was cuttin in the pumpkin patch!

You may be the only guy in Texas that knows how to use a springboard. Looks like you're getting the hang of it. Keep after it.

One thing to think about with a springboard (Caution...old guy lecture coming) is how to get off of them quickly and safely. Always leave yourself a good landing spot in case you have to really bail out. Don't ask me how I learned that.

Yup. And anywhere south of Yreka it's pronounced "punkin". As in "How come Joe gets all the punkins in his strip and I get stuck with the dog hair?"

If you come down here to work they make you leave all your terminal Gs at the border. You can reclaim them, if you still want to, when you leave.

 

[bitzer]

More badass pics Burvol! What kind of faces are you putting in those jacked ones?

 

[slowp]

They are punkins around here too. We are north of Yreka. Thank goodness.

Hey Jamison I like that last jack seat a whole lot better. It is nice to be able to back it up with wedges.
I was wheeling some logs the other day but had no one to take pics. They popped a tiny bit of holding wood right in the middle an pulled only about an inch of fiber when they could have easily busted wide open.

Took one of the forestry classmates with me to fall a freshly dead tree, nice and green on the stump.

She's the holy crapper there at the end

Nice work.

She must like you because she focused on you, and not the saw and the cutting.
