You should try coming to the West Coast and getting a timber cutting job:msp_biggrin: I figure you would not last 5 minutes? If you think not, let me know...I can hook you up with a job...we will see how long you last

Question about the siswheel cut. Gotta admitt, I've never heard of or seen this tecnique. I've done some timber falling in various parts of western Montana so my sample size is small but watching a few of the videos in this thread and putting 2 and 2 together it looks like a good way to hold a swing tree to the stump. The bore cut on the hold side looks to extend the hinge wood and the angle cut determines how much swing happens before the tree either breaks off the stump or hits the ground before breaking. Pretty interesting.

Patty -- to explain what went down.

Oldtimer smarted off. . . StihlKiwi's comment was a more polite way of saying "shut the ____up".

Nate and I "saw what he did there". Rep ensued.

Hell, that´s some nice portion of crazy sh*t falling. Pretty useable to show uninformed people that anything , even the impossible, can happen when falling-so that the "twice the stand height" is not for keepin´grandma quiet.

And the first one clearly shows why it´s cooler to be a faller than a latte-drinking motorbike poser (probably Hells Angels included)-they can only have wet dreams about the fire wawing all around their machines-but the faller actualy has it for real!

Dunno about that. Stroll around fire camp after the day shift comes in. Look at the line for the showers. Note the grubby black soot on everybody. Hear the coughing and snorting.

As far as fire wawing, all I could think of was how hot on the face it is is to be that close. I've been on the line (not a faller) when a radio melted. That was when radios were carried on the belt.

holy Hel that's hot! I imagine its one thing to stand next to a large brush/bon fire, quite a different story when its your job to put it out using only a shovel and pulaski

Just watched another of Greystoke's vids titled 'urban clearcut'. Very smooth and efficient saw work. Great stuff!

Where you at in MT?

I'm currently up here between Plains and T-Falls. Got about 6" of snow a few days ago which is about 5 weeks earlier than I wanted to see but at least we can start burning some slash.

Nice area down there! Good hunting, too many wolves though.

I burned my pile the night it snowed, best to do it before everything got soaked.
