you mean a hip chain. he prolly doin a plot cruise. no I got my own way, sneaky really. competition is fierce here, I leave no trace I've been there. no paint no nothing till i'm sure of the sale. learned this the hard way.

 

[twochains]

I've cut several tracts where there were stings all out through the woods. Usually large scale timber contracts with several species of timber. Usually find the strings in the ERC

 

[treeslayer2003]

Erc?

 

[twochains]

eastern red cedar. It is all I used to cut. Highest paying timber around here.

 

[jrcat]

Ive run inot that string cutting in roads but it was to mark roads I know you asked me about it before but I couldnt place it till now. It comes out of a reel the keeps track of feet and sometimes chains ...depends on the measuring unit used.

 

[bustedup]

cedar TC??? .......TS you'll prob know it as juniper .......I'm sure it ain't true cedar

 

[treeslayer2003]

that's right cat. man we got lots of red cedar but it little. maybe diff. spes. atlantic maybe?

 

[twochains]

Yeh, it's real fine, kinda like dental floss and really strong!

Not a whole lot of competition that I know of. I remember my old boss from my ERC days said there were boundary lines on where he would and wouldn't buy timber. He would not go into other buyers territory and expected the same. My current boss bids alot of gubment jobs and generally gets some good tracts.
