Nice color, for sure.

I never did either...until it was too late.

That is dusty, for true. The mask sounds like a good idea.

Yes, some. More often what we see is damage to infrastructure built at the high tide line, rather than significant shoreline loss. That could be as simple as a wooden stairway to the beach, or as significant as a house foundation built on the sand dunes that are always going away and coming...

I could not tell you. It was closed when we were in the area.

Not so much in my world. Murphyesque, even ;). That way might just get you killed. But to each his own. There are some mighty talented cutters out there that could run circles around me.

Truth there.

Well said, Cory. Just so. Compromised wood fiber, or more brittle species...need not even try.

I have to admit to a bit of reserve on many of these...well, in the past I have labeled them "gimmick" cuts. Many of them strike me rather like some of the more complicated climbing system "improvements" I have seen in vids and pics over these last several years as the mechanical and hybrid...

Just not heavy enough for the really tough line work...but no doubt a good tool.

I think I might have a dug few too many miles of fireline in my past to ever forget the joy of wielding a hazel hoe :D. Thankfully, I mostly was assigned sawyer duty...not without its own challenges of course :).

Only excellent if the ground has few roots and heavy rocks. For those conditions, you need a hazel hoe, also called an adze hoe. https://www.google.com/search?q=hazel+hoe&oq=hazel+hoe&aqs=edge..69i57j0i512j0i433i512j0i512j0i131i433i512j0i512l4.4942j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Beats hiding under it!

Indeed. You also don't know trust until you've held a rock drill for someone swinging a 12-pound sledge. And a corollary...you don't know what huge responsibility feels like until you've been the one doing the swinging. That's a lesson I learned early in my USFS work. More fellows seemed...

Come now... @flushcut tells us almost anyone can beat that. You are going to have to up your game to stay on the porch with the big dogs, Scott :D.

Like the 084. It's not bad once you have it settled into some big wood...but moving it from the shed to the truck and back again is onerous, especially with one of our stupid long west coast bar/chain combos mounted. 5 or 6 feet of bar and chain comes fairly close to the weight of the...

Right down to the nub.

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Your weather today beats ours by several statute miles :).

You are of course correct, @cory. Spell check rears its ugly head :D. Thanks. I'll edit it.
