It's a Pacific Northwest thing... you wouldn't understand!

In response to the PNW thread, I wanted to give the firewood guys a place to post. From the Russian olives of Utah to the loblolly pines of South Carolina.

This is the place where smaller cc's, shorter bars and top handles are the norm. Bologna and cheese washed down with a jug of Kool-Aid and a Kit-Kat bar for dessert are our staples.

This is where whoops of celebration accompany the thundering thud of a freshly-fallen 8" lodgepole pine. And zealous men swarm upon said pine with their angry purple and green saws making bright sparks as their saws touch Mother Earth.

Here, real men, each Fall, have to re-learn how to file their chains, borrow trailers and buy permits. And splitters, what we cut don't need no stinking splitters. So if you're not burly and a picture of yourself doesn't lend itself well to be used as an avatar...I say, WELCOME!

"Honey, I'm home!"

Awwwwwww, that's cruel poetry !!!

I felt ashamed today. My fairly new saw (Twinkle) was being gazed upon by others and a major flaw pointed out...No Full Wrap Handle. The bar length passed muster but the handle did not. I'll have to move somewhere else, I guess. And I, a native born PNWer and even living in the county of my origination. Oh well, it was nice for a while.

 

[GASoline71]

Just call Madsen's and have a USA 3/4 wrap sent to you... they should have one in stock for your saw.

let one of you full wrap buddies run your saw...maybe you could start a PNW revolution!!!

 

[Cedarkerf]

I have a half wrap 064 will take the 3/4 wrap any time i use it frequently. There is a reason why they came outwith the (R) models just for PNW. I don't do much stumpin so I see no point to the half wrap.

LMAO flatlander...

You can't get a four wheel drive to where most of the high stumps are!

Gary

 

[Cedarkerf]

Like to see four wheelers go where a lot of cutting goes on. Really diggin for excuses now. Lot a time stumps 8" on one side 3 feet on the other.

Flat lander my as! I live in the Owa????a mountain range
my four wheel drive makes it to a lot of places others don't but I do
understand what you are saying! I see stumps in cut overs three foot
tall and they are not in the rugged ground lazy to not cut at root flair.

The stumps I'm talkin' about are old growth and second growth stumps... still got spring board slots cut in 'em.

My 4X4 will do the same as yours... but you need to actually come and ride along on some of the mountain roads we got here... make a billy goat cringe.

Sounds a lot like home...

'cept you get bigger trees.


:monkey:


All I need is some good riding areas for my sled... and I could probably call the PNW home.

Man I would love the area we have areas like that here
just not as far of a drop but would still kill you.
The one thing I would not care for well two is
griz,wich we don't have and two mountain lion
which we have a few but not to the extreme you
have don't really care for the critters that can eat me!
We have black bears and I have seen 15 or so in the
15 years I have hunted here, none were problems!
I bow hunt and want my final hunt to take a kodiac
with my bow but still mustering the courage necessary
to do so! I want to hunt a while longer too and feel
if I survive the griz no hunt would equal taking him
with a stick and string and would have no reason to
continue!

Okay... I wanna give all the PNW guys a thread to post in.

Where burly men have logged big timber since before the turn of the century (not 2000!), and continued that tradition ever since.

From the land of big timber loggin' and cuttin'... Welcome!!!

"Never give an Inch"

Gary

I use to work with a couple of guys from the PNW they weren't burly though, gurly yes, but burly no. opcorn:
