Dead, rotten and nasty pines. Oh my! All I can say is business must be good. It sure appears that way, anyway. A steady diet of nasty trees. Be careful you all.
Gotta get the wood out by AT or is their machine access?
BOTS,
Whats the reason for scarfing so high on the beetle kill pines instead of low down on the stump? Is it just less strain on your backs?

Nice work Jed
.Been busy with these two. Hadn't taken any pics until yesterday. Triple-trunk old maple had a really rotten leader break out at about 20+", hitting three vehicles, but somehow missing the house.
The tree was 100', 20' taller than the cedar. Questionable structure. Ended up minimizing rigging force via speed lining the tops. I didn't want to catch the tops. Considered a crane, but roping did it. Old maple that was big at top because of so much small damage from weather over the years breaking out small pieces. Ratchet strapped the three leads at the top to unify.
The tallest maple leader was tipping out as three trunks... Naturally, over the garage ��.
I be lovin those pics, amazing terrain.
