How long should I drag brush?

You might just have a future in this business... it's not too late to back out, once you put the spurs on, you're screwed.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

And Rope, looks like I'm retired. Gonna move over to cell towers. They don't fall.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

The shoulder's better, but it's never gonna be the same.

True story, I worked one week chipping the guys kept riving me about climbing trying to scare me etc One day the top climber ask if i thought i could climb I said sure. He said see that 100 foot pine ? Me yup, he said see that big limb overhanging that tree phaze? Me yup, he said if i tell you how to cut it you think you could? Me yup if you think I get a dollar more per hour lol. He grinned said deal handed me spurs 1982, I climbed up and cut that sob and came down. Everyone on crew but me thought I would freeze lol, was climber that day on. My very first climb was overhang, btw i don't recommend that, just how it happened for me!

I'm 29, I love working with trees and I'm tired of starting over, I'm not going anywhere by choice. Good luck on your transition and thanks for all the advice.

Lol awesome. I think I'll start a little smaller, stick to the wood line for a bit.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Got an offer I can't refuse, and I'm tired of hurtin. I'll just keep it on the side.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

How are your saw and felling skills Scott? I do have some connections on that natural gas pipeline to Fairbanks if you get jammed.

Well in them days I was cockstrong and hard headed chest beating mofo lol. Wise to go the easier route, its a wonder I survived first 5 years but never a serious injury in 30 years! Few close calls yes!

Pretty good, not professional though. I think I doubt my ability to be on the safe side but it's something I'm trying to get over.

 

[ScottinAK]

By no means am I afraid to use a saw, I'm very comfortable with one. It's trees close to structures that make me doubt.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Weren't we all back then. Cowboys with chainsaws. I never really expected to make it this long. You ever chase a hurricane, Rope? Now that's a hoot!

Can you fall this ?

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Scott, still have my ear to the ground. If and when that project pops, I'll give you a shout. Good money, good per diem.

No but i had one chase me

Ha, probably not, that looks like all sorts of trouble. One day my friend, one day.

I'm always here and I get better everyday, that would be awesome!

Scott remember this, a good winch covers up a few mistakes with the saw, not all mind you but will cover some!
