    Cutting bushel is hard!

    It’s been a blast being in some decent sized wood. The ground is flat and the brush is non existent. Poison oak on the other hand is so awful that I’m starting to get it which I never have before.

    Yeah the tracing technique is my go to for most cutting and can be pretty accurate as long as you visualize where you set that far corner. I’ll look at the diameter and I also watch my gunning sight for where the tip is. Works pretty good and it’s quick. Sometimes the corners can be off if you...

    Cutting nasty snags this past week in the sierras, just soft dusty shit. I’m always impressed on how the pondos get so weak after the beetle. Sometimes after 6 months they can be unpredictable on the stump.

    I hate falling eucs but these aren’t so bad. We have been smoking this job and may only have another week or so until it’s done. The company owner is hoping they just add another spot after seeing how quick we got through it.

    Aloha, just checking in to say what’s up and happy new year. Katelyn and I have been asked to fell eucs on a utility job. It’s been a pretty cool experience so far. 40 year old trees that’s are around 130 to 170 ft tall. Barely any meat on the butt biggest I’ve cut so far was just under 32...

    Weird bucks

    Haha most days I feel spry, this tree was a pain of the butt. The first tree that fell had a big seem and it had rot up until about 40 or 50 ft. Pure junk so not a lot of scale in this for the thine it took. So far I’ve been able to make over 20 bushel for a week. Makes a guy feel like he won...
