Mill 'em, nails be damned.
A pisstaking punk from New Zealand is probably not your ideal student, but it strikes me there's generations worth of experience floating around in this logging section that doesn't come around too often in one's lifetime. Any opportunity to learn from you lot is worth more than enough to me to risk being flamed or ridiculed for my inexperience and general stupidity.
If OK with you guys and gals, may I please, from time to time, post a few pics and videos of various scenarios I may be faced with and ask of you how best to tackle them or whether I should leave them alone for more experienced fellers to deal with (kinda rubs against my have-a-go grain a little but I need to accept my limits sometimes)?
If there's one thing I have managed to learn thus far it's that the more I learn in the woods without killing myself, the greater the realisation how little I really know and also how lucky I've been to not have killed myself yet. There's some 'big' (for me anyway) wood on my radar and it's not the sort I really want to be riding my luck with.
May I please submit a few scenarios for your ridicule, general entertainment, etc? If so, I'll go get some footage and post back in here over the coming weeks.
Regards,
KiwiBro.
P.S. A year ago my day job involved staring at multiple monitors and tapping at keyboards 8-12 hrs per day. It's not like I grew up packing gear for my experienced tree-felling old man in the bush, so even the smallest things you guys and gals might take for granted are probably things I've not learned yet. Also, what constitutes 'common'-sense to you is probably not all that common to me.
