Is it just me or were those logs awfully close together on the bunk logs?

Well.....

...On a logistical note, did having the logs laid out like that cause any issues for multiple cutters?

Most of the time we only had at most two or three people cutting at a time. Usually it was one or two cutters, with the rest standing around and BS'ing.

We did place the logs too close together. Realized that after we'd placed the logs on the bunks. They'll be spaced a big farther apart next time. When we were cutting the notches in the bunk logs, things 'looked' like they were spaced far enough apart. Once we were craning the cutting logs into place..........:msp_confused:

It's not just you Randy....

We just concentrated on one or two logs for a while, then shifted to others when those started getting 'short', and so on. It worked out, but they were too close together. Like I said earlier...............the notches looked quite far apart when we were prepping the bunk logs.......................but once we craned those big suckers into place......

Yeah I read all that earlier. I just saw my chance to needle you a little. :msp_tongue:

Between you and Tom................................with friends like these.....:msp_rolleyes:

Randy, they most certainly were not too close together. All a guy had to do was stand on top of the log and buck sideways. :msp_rolleyes: Nothin' to it.

I must have missed those pics. Are they coming in the Special Edition Extended Length Director's Cut DVD?

Oh goody, I can't wait.

They have pills for that now.

Hey you! I wanted to let it down slooooow. That was some valuable wood.

were they slick enough to need corks ?

 

[Eccentric]

They were when the bark sloughed off of them....

I had mine with me but, other than those bridged trees I bucked in that gulch, I didn't see any need to put them on. I probably should have worn them for that but I never did fall down completely. :rolleyes2:

 

[Trx250r180]

seems like every pu around here has a set in the bed next to the saw and fuel ,wonder if the rh coast wears em at all ? not sure if they walk down the tree like we do to limb them

This is an extremely strong 99cc saw. Bob commented that Poulan could be where Husky and Stihl are today if they still made saws that performed like this one.

Or rather, Pioneer could be where Husky and Stihl are today if Elux hadn't bought them and diluted their engineering pool to nothing and dropped the name altogether. Same could be said of a dozen or so other names of old...

You mean there's another way?

No need to walk down a 24" diameter tree. Hardly enough room for your feet.
