Today was a fine day in the woods.
We are working on an order of large Doug fir, that has been selected by the buyer ( mill) and forester together.
Only the finest for this order and 200 sticks in total.
They have been spraypainted with a number and GPS positioned, so we run around with maps where they are shown in actual position (+/- 30 feet) it works really fine.
They are big enough that even though we have to search for them a bit, we still make real good money.
The scale that fallers get paid by here is graduated, so the bigger diameter wood, thw lower price per cubuc meter, which is only fair.
But these exceed the scale in size, so even thogh we get the lowest unit price on the scale, the trees contain so many units each, that we make out fine.
With the cold we are having, the braches get real brittle. Squeeze a tree into a tight lay and the most amazing amount of stuff rains out of the sky
Then there is almost no limbing, since all the branches have broken off.
I'm really loving this. The best logging in a long time
We'll call it even.... And my price just went up for any future work 
Anywho, little clean up left to do and she should be blown away when she comes home this evening! Stupid uploader has them all mixed up
