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

its a little quicker to limb walking down em for me ,tip of a 32 inch bar makes for not much leaning when walking down the tree ,can get both sides from the top most of the time

 

[thomas1]

depends on whether or not your up to your acorns in brush .

Good point.

 

[hdbill]

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

I dont think they could walk down the tree and limb it with them 16" bars they talk about:biggrin:

Really short people could.

 

[Trx250r180]

midgets need bars too

 

[BrocLuno]

Well maybe ...

Yeah, that's fine if it's loggin and you can drag the wood out.

But, for us it usually means convicts bucking in place and tossin the bits out. In which case limbin along side is no big deal as they'll have to buck it there anyway

that sucks I was planning on doing some cutting on the Cloverdale property this Sat.

What? Do you melt in the rain? If it is too warm for raingear, and being CA, it most likely is, take extree clothes to change into. Like, there's a restroom and showers there to do so in. Take extree shoes to change into for the drive home, and put a zillion gloves--making sure that they are for both hands:msp_rolleyes: in a plastic bag to keep them dry. Lightweight fleece is a good thing, except it looks to be SIXTY DEGREES, which we consider to be summer, and I'd be wearing a t-shirt to cut in.

Goodness little campers, will you really melt?

Right now it is 41 outside, a steady rain, not drizzle, and I am thinking of going firewood cutting or at least finishing splitting my last load.

I would come up and help but my contract states I only have to work between 68 and 72 degrees. Working in SIXTY DEGREES is a change in " wages, hours, or working conditions". Is there a temporary shelter available to protect workers from the rain? And what is this raingear you speak of?

 

[Eccentric]

LOL. I wasn't complaining or saying it's a no-go 'cause of the weather. Just stating a fact. Supposedly there's a newspaper guy coming out to interview/photograph us 'in action'. Not sure if he'll melt or not.

One of my bosses at work just asked me if I want to work range instructor overtime on Sunday (outside). Cutting's more fun, but OT sure pays the bills. Now I've gotta decide. IF the cutting/interview thing is a go for Sunday, I'll do that. Otherwise, it's OT time. What say you Bruce, did the newspaper guy get back to you yet?....

Ckelp, there's a fix for the wifey, get a piece of long heavy chain and show it to her then tell her "this is how it is". Now make sure it's long and real heavy so she can't drag it while she's chaseing you,hopefully giving you a slight head start while she's deciding to drop it and give chase. We all hope you can run fast enough to stay ahead long enough to wind her so she's to tired to beat yer azz. Then tell her "Let that be a lesson" Oh start running before the last past. Ken

And lunch. Don't forget the lunch. They have to feed us. 'Course, it might be cheaper to pay us than feed us but they'll figure that out.

Convicts ? Was that just in general or were you'all talking about me again, I wasn't even invited

Hey Tom,
How many fingers am I holding up?



One. Yep, that's right, I'm just another person telling you that you are number one.
