Good lord thats a serious tree

 

[Acornhill]

Yes it is, the 8500 crushed it today. Had 4 of us splitting for a good bit which moves it right along.

Yes it is, that is why we let it sit for 6 months before we finished the cutting, the tree has been on the ground for that long semi cut up. Scary when we first cut it but all is good.

Im insane allergic to pioson ivy, itd have to set for 6 years before i could touch it lol. Theres a big dead oak here i was given permission to cut but its covered bottom to top in vines..........its still standing. Lol

I believe that the oil, which is what causes us to break out, stays active for years. Have read it can cause a reaction on clothes up to a year afterward. Since it is an oil, washing with water is less affective. Rubbing or isopropyl alcohol removes it , as alcohol cuts oil. Learned that from a pharmacist. Easily proved with a quick science experiment with mineral oil.

Yeah ive got it from my dog before if he goes trompin through the woods

Think of the ivy oil like grease. And what it takes to wash that off. I'm alergic to it also

I believe it, my dad and brother can roll in the stuff.

Good. You can gain or lose allergies at anytime in life. Keep that in mind. Don't be like that logger I read about on here who got older and was not allergic to it and went out to cut a tree in a sea of poison. He was allergic that time!

 

[astnmacgto]

Yeah poison ivy doesn't bother me.... hopefully it never does, by the way @Acornhill, that is a serious setup you were using on that tree

 

[ANewSawyer]

Yes, nice saws!!!

 

[Boomer 87]

Someday ill have an 8500 with a full wrap, but for now my 5200 hald wrap will have to suffice

Same saw if you use it often you will see. When I want to get serious about bucking up firewood I grab my 5200 with 20" bar

When I get serious, I look at my 1073. Then sit down until the idea wears off!

 

[s sidewall]

Well that stuff used to tear me up when I was younger but now, no problem. My wife on the other hand can just look at the stuff and be ate up with it.
