Nah. I should keep it to myself. Some of them will be insulted, except I think I am on a lot of their "ignore" lists. I do my part.

Come on sweetP, tell us.
Well, I probably won't tonight. It is almost bed time--gots to go over the pass and to the dry side tomorrow. I'm also researching building a cellophane kayak. That's what some of them look like. I guess I could grow tomatoes in a clear plastic boat when it wasn't in the water. If it was a Humboldt County boat, well, you know what would grow in it there.
Now back to tree falling. Of which it will all be feller buncher tomorrow.

Hey Cody the name here is Steve. That big wood is lots of fun gets the heart pumpin' no matter how many trees you cut. I just love cuttin pumpies on the dark side of the mountain for salvage shake and quake style. Nice work, were you working the jack or the saw?

Someone asked me to post the typical swampies I have the pleasure of killing on a regular basis. I will be killing these next week Hoowa.

Just a question Cody do they still have good patches of red heads in North Cal and why are they cuttin' the pumpies I though the huggers pooched all that. Are they duming them cuz' there old and want to salvage the trees or just high grading? Oh I guess I should ask what year that was.Thanks everyone
@ Danger Tree...It seems to be an industry there. I can't remember a strip that I cut in there that did not have some sort of growing paraphernalia in it. Usually the foresters laying out the strips were there long before us to see any actual plants.

@ Jesse...snow is never any fun for a timber faller...bout the only thing I ever liked about it was I worked harder so as to stay warm!
@ Slowp...That tree took about 3 hours to fall, and about the same to buck. And by all means, link the vid! I hope to get a report back like this:

@ Steve...The first video was my tree so I was mostly runnin saw, with a little jackin, but on the second tree, just whatever to help. Not sure what redheads are??? We were cutting this timber for Pacific Lumber Company in 2002, and both of these trees were Residual old growth and they had been passed up by the lucky old boys who made the first cut, because they had the tops blown out. My tree was only 130 feet tall...but it had 33 bushel! (thousand bd. ft.)
Now that I do residential tree work I cut a lot of cottonwoods. I did this job last friday:

These cottonwood were way rotten...just a rind holding them....The one in that vid was the worst. I Had to leave a lot of holding wood on the near side, cuz if i would have cut it up much more I think it would have snapped and gone across the power line and hit a church. Jacks are nice sometimes doing residential tree work, although as you can see, these trees don't present much of a challenge for them compared to a big redwood.

Nice vids Cody.
Sorry about the fish, wasn't trying to pry, just must have missed that message. Was just curious cause that was a new batch/recipe. Been killing trees with 4 hours of driving a day, much of it on foresaken roads, grinding chains, maintance, ect. then taking Lindsey out on the town when Mama is feeling good, and then we go killing salmon on the weekends. Sheesh, I'll sleep and get fat this winter. Too much to do while there is not 5 feet of snow on the ground.
Got new tin pants today. Awesome :rockn:

Hey, he lives on the other side of the mountain where it might could actually be spelled Cottan. As in "Lets go swarp some of that stinky cottan wood."
Thanks Jesse
