Tree felling vids

[murphy4trees]

I can see if you’re doing ROW work with multiple spar drops how a line is a pita (unless you HAVE to of course)

If it’s domestic with one or two trees, you might as well use a pull line.

FINALLY... we agree on something... oh happy day!

Amazing how close his lanyard is to the top!

 

[Mick!]

Yes, one bad swing of the axe and he’s back flipping to the promised land.

I’ve seen that clip many times, I always think how little effort and thought it would take to put another line lower down, just for the topping cut.

 

[MasterBlaster]

But then he's gotta hank it up and pack it around.

 

[Mick!]

Sure, but I wonder how many flew off on the wobble after a top went.

 

[theTreeSpyder]

Hell, I still have my BS!

.
That ya do sir.

flew off on the wobble

that could be a new expression...kind of like "he broke the flywheel on the wallopin' rod".

A glossy look at logging, rafting, and milling trees on vancouver isle, BC. Including nuking 400-1500 year old trees. Also a guy who makes his living 'beach combing' for washed up logs on the beach, grabbing them by boat and selling them to mills

I did the lumberjack bit till around 9 minutes, very good, worth a look.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I watched it all - very interesting!

 

[Jed]

Washington loggin's goin broke, man.

 

[cory]

Why?

 

[Jed]

Just (Take my word with a grain of salt here.) from what I can figure, a bunch of beuracratic garbage makin it a ton cheeper to get all our timber from Oregon or Canada.

 

[cory]

Squish says BC is cutting back

 

[SeanKroll]

The log markets have been steadily declining lately, I hear. $15-20 less per 1000 bdft with each new price-sheet.

 

[Jed]

I know dude, it's like they're trying to force all the little gypos out, while meanwhile... Weyerhauser couldn't care less... they're fine to just sit on their vast expanses of timber lands untill the market shifts around.

 

[flushcut]

I read in Time Life that Weyerhauser's wealth was estimated to be more than the Rockefeller's at the time.

Not a barberchair but kind of similar....

Looks like there was some miss calculation on weight and reach. Give me a lever....
