Hindsight, probably...my biggest concern was if it did a full header into the ground it might bounce towards the house. It did do a flat drop as I planned; I just didn't realize the DZ was so tight. I'll at least have a side pulling rope on the next one like that. This one was a free lesson.

Borrowed a pose from Cory and one from CV today
Rigged out a bid dead white oak earlier. We were rigging the spar down and using the winch to float the wood to a nice level landing when the whole thing started to uproot. I bailed pretty quick and plan B came into play. Damn stupid of me not to guy that spar. Anyhow that hallow red oak spar was used to keep the uprooting one on the hillside

Yuk!
Here is my fatty today. Mike might sent me some he took. We lined all the brush up hill yesterday. Then I negative blocked it down from about 130 to 55'. Steep hill really soft from the last rain. HO said leave the log lie. Broke a 5/8ths sling trying to keep it from running too far down to a road and highway. Double cut a lot of that stem with a 066 and 36 bar.
Hinge porn.......

Deva, I think he might work out. Not as quick as some. But not as slow as others. See how he does with his knots and terminology.

You are kind, my friend.
I can pretty clearly recall where your skills were at when you first joined this forum, Stephen. I can think of only a handful who have come so far as you have from those early days of your eager embrace of the shared knowledge we have all found here. Kudos.

Broke. Just to much moving mass. We butt tied the log. Better than having it on the hwy down below. 5/8. Just enough to slow it so it stopped anyway

THE CALM ONE!!!!
Awesome pics and work. Stephen on ones like that I've tied multiple butt ties kind of like a daisy chain even going up to three or four so that if one broke the next would catch and so on and so forth. Just a thought. Looks like it all worked out anyways.
What a monster!

Why use a Humboldt?
"Burnham showed me"...............I know, but I still wonder, I see no reason for using it for your trees.

Great work pics! I'm merely picking weeds over here.

It's a West Coast thing Stig. They'd be subject to ridicule otherwise
I'm just kidding, not like Stephen would care. I'm honestly not sure why it's all Humboldt out there, even when the log is not going to market?
