Tell ya what.
If I list the 3 fallers ( all of them retired) that I have the most respect for in this world, 2 of them are US West coast guys.
Nothing unrefined about guys putting a big stick in the lay without busting it up.
I'm just saying, different trees, different terrain, different methods.
Like you, I have been logging for over 30 years. In my case in several different countries, heck I've even had the pleasure of putting a couple of your West coast trees on the ground.
