So instead of cluttering up the descriptive process thread I figured I'd start my own. I'm currently working for a Mill and staying just North of Forks, WA. I've worked up here before but for one of the landowners we buy stumpage from. Cruising, scaling, and logging compliance are my main duties. Here are a few pics from the last couple of days.

This is a sinkhole we found out cruising yesterday.

Older tank mount Madill. Strait of Juan DeFuca and vancouver island in the background.

Sorry for the small pics using my cell. If you click on them you can see them in a larger format.

East coast logging is vastly different from west coast . There are similarities though.

The sap is running and may account for a bit more slip than in winter but that's mostly due to the knives on the processor, and species type. Lots of western hemlock and Sitka spruce. Kinkey as hell. Luckily it's close to our PA mill so it's a short haul. We only have two seasons here, wet and wetter! :laugh:

Yeah has to be. I don't remember an 8 anywhere in the model numbers. Might of been a zero but I'd have to go wade through the thunderbird thread on a different forum and that's too much work!!!

I may go post it over there. If I get to posting a bunch of pics those boys are gonna wanna know models and want shots of serial numbers/build plates. I don't have time for all that during my day lol

I'm not a west coast equipment officianado, it says tsy 155 on the tower in your pic. Ive looked at the Thunderbird thread you mean. Those guys are serious about their iron and its history.

Good eye! I was looking at the counterweight number that had been scrubbed off. See it on the boom now. Yes they are! I loves me some iron but not that much! Mostly just documenting my wanderings to look back in many years to come. Also use them when talking about harvesting on the west side when I'm at school and I start yakin bout towers lol
 
Yupp they are a well made vest!! I've had a few and wore one out in not very much time. Pretty happy with this one. Next time I'll go with maybe a size smaller... if I ever wear this one out! lol

Got my relaskop today. Gotta clean er up and give her a lil TLC, needs a new lanyard. Also getting a TruPulse and a new Nautiz X7 with pocket super easy. Glad to be using some new tech for a change.
 
Will do. Doesn't look like all that much to em. Love to have one of my own. Struggling to find the sweet spot so j can read the numbers an they not be blurry lol

Very handy tool. I sold mine in the 90's I think. Clinometer & prism just are not the same.

Dahlgren logging. 4800 Madill on the right and a newer 3800 on the left. Gotta say that 4800 was nice and very cherry for being an older machine.

Just another side.

So I decided to throw these in to try and show the "lay of the land." Pictures don't quite show how steep this is. Probably about 40%+ slopes here. Broken ground. One landing the logger will be strung out several thousand feet with extensions to get enough lift.
