Working trees in the dark, especially climbing or chainsaw aloft or on the ground, is nuts. No matter how good the artificial lights, there will always be bad shadows and that's a recipe for mistakes. Rake to your hearts content :D.

Pretty similar here, as to the use of spruce where nothing else will take due to moisture and frost. If it's moisture alone, Western Redcedar. Western white pine takes frost well, but not moist soils. You have to know your site characteristics to do good reforestation.

I expect the plan there is similar to as is done here in the PNW. Plant to a tighter than ultimately wished for spacing, say 8x8 or 10x10 to allow for some survival and depredation losses initially, then do a precommercial thinning at about 10-12 years in. Take the spacing out to 13x13 or so...

Quality control inspector. :D

@stig that is a beauty. When was it planted, do you reckon? I still have a hard time understanding how we have off site issues here with planting DF stock from as close as the west side to the east side of the Cascades, from the same elevation bands and at the same latitude...and places like...

Something wrong with that attachment.

I rather expect that social media participation generates a self-selecting population that will skew to a younger crowd. Thus, the predominance of the techniques Brian is seeing there is to be expected, at least to some degree.

I'd bet more are still using mrs than otherwise, in total percentages. I use both, but I'm retired and don't count :D.

Definitely that is a thing...seen it in my late father and in two close friends.

"aren't supposed to dig" :/::lol:

Buuut...then you never would have been chef for Hef and his harem. That would have been a travesty of lost opportunity, Stephen. :D.

Fair point.

Nail clippers. :lol:

I get it that this has to be a money maker for you Brett, and all props for getting and keeping the gig. But that is just about the saddest travesty of a live oak I have ever suffered seeing :). I mean, really? This is what a live oak ought to look like :D...

No owl on earth has a wingspan of 8 feet, let alone 10 feet. Largest wingspan for an owl in N. America would be either a Great Grey or a Great Horned...in either case under 5 feet, I think.

Lotta work... :D

Missing stuff like that is good. :)

Lotta tree for a 20 inch bar...nicely done. Too bad about the breakage.

That is one fast as fook saw and sawyer.
