not sure how to link the news and its still technically making news...
Hwy 530 has had a mile wide mud slide, damming the north fork stilliquamish river, water level is still rising, evacuations in progress, 3 dead, more wounded. At some point the river will breach the dam, lots of peeps down river could be in a world of hurt.
Gots kin up river form there... Most all of them should be ok other then the 2 hour detour through concrete and sedrowolley.

Yesterday I went hunting wetlands in a different sale and couldn't find any. I swear wetlands are gonna drive me over the edge.
I just got back from a few days on the coast....Humboldt County. I'd forgotten how itchy Redwood bark can be. Good thing it rained 'most every day or it might have been worse.
And why, when you're bucking, is the best place to stand always on the downwind side of the log?

if you bore cut in first bucking would that help keep the dust in the log ? Keep the spray off the top of the chain down some ?
It might...if you could. In this case a bore cut wouldn't have worked. I had a borrowed 880 with a 56" bar and I still couldn't single-cut. I'd start the first cut standing on top of the log and putting a run in the back side and as far down the middle as I could reach. Then I'd climb down and finish the cut from the ground. The logs were laid across a steep side hill and as each buck was made the log would take off down the hill. Sometimes the other piece would go too, so it was better not to have any more bar in the wood than you had to when you were nearly all sawed up.
That 880 is a fine saw for that kind of work but I'm sure glad it belongs to somebody else. I don't think I'd want to pack that thing all day every day.

If that stuff is as dusty as the trees in treeslingers old videos there is no way around that bark dust I don't think
You're right. That's the only advantage to working in the pouring rain...it keeps the dust down. Mostly.
