Tree felling vids

[Burnham]

Ooops is right!

I too have mistaken the top of one tree for another...but the consequences were not near so damaging.

 

[MasterBlaster]

All that, PLUS your logging tape? Lawdy!!!

Another classic from Jer.

Great story...when things go south for you they go WAY south. Truck crushed, caught on fire, have to rip the hood off.

I liked this part..." the impact broke the hinges. Kind of handy."...making the best of it anyway, finding some good in the bad.

The good part was some guy seen my smashed scout parked in the driveway and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I actually made some money out of it.

Amazing the way things work out.

No explaining fate sometimes.

 

[gf beranek]

Indeed.

Classic! What an ending

Thanks for the yarn Jer.

Willie: Very well done. Where was that pig. Hey, btw, where was the "Dead Doug Fir" in the other vid. (The one that you had the jack in.) Another really good shot.

Lake of the woods on most of the big ones. That pondo was near Rocky Point resort. West shore of Klamath lake

 

[Jed]

Aha! Man, I never made it up there. What an ass I was not to have gotten out more when I was working for Clarence. You know how it is: Go to work, Hang with the fam. Go to work, Hang with the fam. Etc, Etc, Etc. Who but the lucky, if lonely bachelors wld have it any other way?

Sure ill get ripped a new one by someone on 'ere :0

 

[MasterBlaster]

It looks good to me!

 

[Burnham]

Wrap your thumb around that handlebar, Ben. Basic saw handling safety protocol.

There you are, new one duly ripped .

 

[mistahbenn]

Yeehaw!

Gotta love the log truck for feeding the chipper not to mention grabbing logs.

Why did you use a biner on the pull ropes instead of just a running bowline?

Nice job!

 

[mistahbenn]

Cheers Cory, the log truck saves a hella lotta ass! Had two loads of wood from this site, and 5 loads of chip.

Using a biner (steel) is just a 2 second time saver....??? Those 2 seconds add up to alot over a day..... hehehehehehe

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nicely done...... Love that boom truck!

How about the guy in the baseball hat that was trying to wrestle the ends of those big limbs as the log loader was stuffing them into the chipper... REAL DANGEROUS and for what????

 

[MasterBlaster]

LOL.

 

[cory]

What do you do with all that wood?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Get rid of it!!!

 

[canadiantreeman]

Nice work. My only piddle paddle notification is this: move the busted out undercuts from the lay of the tree. I have it on good authority that they can cause unexpected problems.

Its not so much a time saver for the climber or person setting the line, but it sure saves time for the groundie or person removing it, especially if they are not too familiar with knots and it gets tight during the pulling or rigging operation.
