:thumbup: . Exactly. Like when you are up a tree doing something that may be marginal or just kinda dicey. Most all the time, if you've made a good plan. Done the work of the plan then stick to the plan, keep your cool and enjoy the adventure.

Yup

There's a time to take your time and a time to cut and run. Takes a while to learn when to do what. 3 things seem to get a guy, #1, the in expected. #2 , something went wrong. #3, not paying attention and or forgetting. Remember your body can only work in the ( shall I say " Green Zone "...

That's a Big? And there is no single correct answer. I've managed to out run everything that could have killed me except a couple times but that's another thing all together. Most everyone that has fell a lot of timber on the coast has had a time when they took off running but the tree or...

So, while I not trying to wave a red flag, if you haven't been there and done a lot of that you prolly won't know why we say its SOP. The sayin, no guts no glory means that there is a very reasonable chance of getting turned into a red smear on the hill side. Proven out by the number...

(( he slowed down)) I've seen very experienced PNW fallers quit after a few days or less because the ground, the timber and the weather was nightmarish.

Ogv The guy was doin good work. I've had several very similar trees do the same thing. It is just how the work is. That's the reason I've outlived about 1/3 rd the guys I've cut timber with. Guys my age. And yes mistakes get made. The only mistake That I see that this guy made was he...

Yup. Been there ( not BC, but southern S.E. Ak. . ) that vid is in BC. Done that. !! Squishers is spot on. . Can't tell anything about his buckin but his falling looks very good. . The reason he didn't run up the hill. Is running is a lot more difficult than it may appear on camera. . You...

I always enjoy your vids a lot. Part of its the accent. You sure your not from around Bangor?? :-) . That was a lot of work. !! Reg; I almost bought a grapple from WesSpur last summer. I regret not getting one now that I saw your vid.

Looks great.

Great vid Randy ! It's nice to hear someone other than me take those stress relieving breaths when a worrysome limb or top goes right then the next one needs done. !! You could have been doing a young cottonwood or poplar here. They look and cut/ act identicle..

The cultural mindset of not sticking out in a crowd, tho present in Western societies. Is much more present in Eastern societies. I had a heck of a time trying to keep Chinese sailors, deck hands out of the bight on bulk carriers when tying up and letting go ore barges. Indians were almost...

:lol:

Funniest thing I've read in weeks. .. Thanks Burnham. Tru dat!

This vid just goes to show there are people who can run a saw who should not be allowed to. By his 3 rd cut I would have fired him on the spot. . Its pretty easy to make falling a tree complicated, inefficient, overly laborious. . And stupid looking. Looked like a small red cedar but...

Back when I chopped " armature, competition " beating over a tree was just a little work out. I've got some good strips because the boss knew I would pound the trees up out of a crik or away from the line. . Once I got up outa the criks I was off to the races in 2 bushel hemlock and up to 8...

This winter I'm gonna re design and make a better scabbard for my rig builders/ framers ax. I had a few drop outs in 3 weeks of cutting that unit this early summer. The chain box is nice. Incidently, I should have changed my chain before I started on that spruce. I got into some grit...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62Ku66NrauU&feature=youtube_gdata_player This is the middle vid. The boss " Dan " guy in the brown sweat shirt. Supplied the ax and most of the wedges. I didn't want to bring all my hard heads and 15" double tapers. And 5 lb ax. . I won't make that mistake...
