Saw mix in a paper cut is particularly memorable. So is break cleaner. Just a different level of pain all together.

I reckon

Totally agree with that entire statement, but is that being practiced anywhere in the US where there is old growth? To take old growth you have to clear cut, no? And taking old growth on steep ground as in that IG post is particularly problematic due to erosion and reforestation difficuly

Cutting all of anything is no bueno, but leaving all of everything or any one thing is not always a good plan. There is a balance. Looking at what goes on in the rainforests in the tropics is an out rage. Looking at logging ops in the Northern hemisphere, much less so.

You stagger in different generations of trees along with saving old growth. If you only leave one generation of trees, such as old growth, something will inevitably evolve to kill them. Allowing generational growth adaptation to environment, and keeping the forest floor healthy, along with less...

@davidwyby , from what I am seeing in the hills of Wright wood, should be tons of work down yonder way.

News flash Stephen? Fully agree about logging and trees and that old growth is not renewable, which was my point. I've have probably cut tens of thousands of trees in my logging and tree work career, or a least I'd safely guess 10k+ trees so arguably I have a viable perspective on trees, their...

Yes. One that would require rigging, not cut and chuck. A long, diagonal to the grain hinge

Rain and calm after rain and wind. In the middle of a 150' doug-fir (if my climbline is 250') that started making a crack in the gravel driveway. Barely seen by the neighbor by luck. A house would have been hit by this tree at 70' so probably 1.5' thick. We raked and tamped the gravel to...

Gotta remember PPE when opening gifts! 🤣

I was just thinking about chain longevity being I am not familiar with that brand. But full chizzy is tempting.

Paper cuts can be painful for true. Any injury under a fingernail multiplies the discomfort quotient. Happy Christmas, David! :)

You’re thinking outside the box? Lol Sizable limbs?

Bet you got a guy!

I've been using a sizwheel with double-hinge and a farside/compression dutchman on snappy doug-fir limbs to swing them into a dropzone.

Only I could hurt myself opening gifts. Opening a garment box (thin cardboard) I carelessly slid my thumb along the bottom seam to try to cut the tape and instead gave myself a nasty paper/cardboard cut under my thumbnail. Sometimes it’s amazing how such seemingly small things can hurt.

News flash Cory. Trees are indeed a renewable resource and logging is sustainable if properly regulated and practiced with that in mind. Maybe not old growth, but you need to promote saving "generations" as its done along with some old growth.

Mad skillz, if only that resource were sustainable.
