Anytime I was cutting burnt trees it was really dusty, ultra fine charcoal dust. That cannot be good for our lungs. If you can stand it, a N95 mask or some type of respirator would be smart.
Expect lots of abrasive dust, so mask and pre filter help comfort for you and saw.
and bring extra files, your gunna need them, the burnt timber is abrasive on chains, and takes out the leading edge of the cutting tooth quickly.
On a positive note, if you have chains that have gummed up stuff stuck to the, its not going to be there for very long after you start cutting .
On the bright side, your not cutting it whilst its on fire, thats not fun.
Been there done that whilst dealing with bush fires, its much easier when a large tonka toy arrives and just pushes the burning trees over .
When you sharpen, don't make a thin delicate cutting edge (low file). Hold it a little higher so the cutter has less hook. Won't cut as fast but won't dull as fast.
@davidwyby we zipped most of it.
Drop zone has a oven under, after that point the down hill narrows and drop is not possible, slopes are to soft, stone walls and steps everywhere, some trees opposite cant be battered.
After zipping rest of canopy, we are gonna winch against the 3rd trunk on pic 1, negative rig the last trunk.
Finish the eucs.
Cut and chuck most of it, pulled last bits uphill with a rope.
Did set rig anchors, but didn't use them.
A few videos will show later from the clients.
