Last month I felled 80 tress in 6 days!
4 days up in the sierra mountains at Rucker lake CG felling tall, dead hazard firs, cedars and some oaks.
2 days up in Dutch flat felling 25 pondos so HO could use logs to build a shop on 16 acres.
At Rucker lake CG, the firs were from a 100ft with a few at 180ft...this area grows em big and tall...most all were beyond dead to the point that tops were breaking off while its going over...trunks were disintegrating on impact....pixie dust. Bixler wanted me to teach and have one of his youngsters do some felling but they were to dangerous for a new guy with little experience...
Lots of targets...out buildings everywhere lol and water pipes buried a couple inches below ground...
This first pic is what I was up against, dropping firs between camp buildings
some of these pics you cant see the camp building because there to the side or behind us...
this how rotten some were...we would just broom out the notch..lol
some of the black oaks looked like this...run fast is key
I put a rope in this one, to chancy without
some random pics of the 4 days...
this is one of 3 massive pondos at this CG...prob over 200ft and well fed!
