I don't climb, trim, cut, or log for a living. I am pretty green, as that my wood cutting is only for yearly firewood (3-4 cord at most normally). I mainly will watch my acreage and only take dead trees if possible (other than seasonal trimming and some clearing). Occasionally a storm will blow through and I will have to clear the road. I really have nothing to contribute, therefore I don't post. I am here to learn on what can be done safely, but mostly what not to do. The land is very treacherous, and two of my roads are so steep; that if it's even wet, I won't take the tractor down it. So normally retrieving the logs is more of a challenge than felling.
So that's why...
