I think you were the hippie, because loggers won't reduce themselves to climb trees, maybe to escape a bear, butnot for a living anyway. LOL

o we have a pot smokin' hippy up the tree that figger's he's gonna stop me from falling it ay!? I bet he is stringin' beads to sell to tourists at the ferry terminal next summer, a little extra to help out with his welfare $$$, the $$$ that my @#$%%& taxes are putting in his pocket. I'm out pulling strawline on the rigging, pulling so hard I puke, my elbows, wrists, shoulders and back ache ... but I keep pulling as this is what loggers do. It is a well earned $$. No @#$%%& way is some @#$%%& tree hugger gonna stop me from doing my job, earning my money, making my payments. I would have given the tree hugger that climbed up the tree in an attempt to stop it from being felled about 5 minutes to climb down before I started my under cut. Had he not started down, that was his problem, not mine. Upon completing my undercut and having knocked the wedge out, I would have proceded with my back cut (that is if the authorities and BCTV camera crew hadn't attempted to stop me. Nothing much more dangerous than 240 pounds of pissed off logger packing a Stihl 0.75 cranking out at about 15,000 rpm, equipped with a 42" bar. Note that .38 special would have worked
I woulda' stopped and lit a smoke, poured a coffee, filed my chain and said "Listen up mutha#$%@# ... you got three minutes to get you ass down here, or I will PUT you down."
Anyways, I woulda' fallen the @#$%%& thing, made a martyr outta' the hugger, bucked his arms and legs off if they happened to be protruding from under the log. If his corpse happened to be in the area that the log was to be bucked, I hope for his sake that he was already dead. Woulda' been a little rough, even for me to buck through his legs, torso or neck with him screaming. Oh, hold on, I have just been improvisationally inspired. Get out the screwdriver and make carbeurator adjustments - lean it right out so I can't @#$%%& hear him. I knew there was a way I can see Tony Parsons telling that story
Well, time to slack the haulback and go ahead on 'er, yo-yo-yo! We're here to log, not ... ummm ... _walk_ the dog, so pitter patter, lets get at 'er, it's on the ball or on the bomber."
Butch said he sold the 090g recently. There is a little difference in weight between his climbing saws and the 090g.Knot Whole said:I wanted to know if Butch ever found the sprocket that he needed? Butch, I'm pretty certain that you'll read this. Didn't somebody one time give you the Stihl part #? I couldn't find it, but I probably didn't search back far enough.
