Dude, tighten your chain more. . . It can still move. . . Barely. Oh, and nice framing hammer.

I'm gonna have to start chewing nails to get through this...

LOL, thats one of the things that I noticed, they cut every dammm thing down around the tree. If you can cut the 8.8-11.5" diameter tree from one side, why are they de-foresting the other side of the tree???? LOL.

I mean the "fence post" guy was cutting stuff that was 20 feet away that had nothing to do with where he was cutting or where he needed to go, LOL. I would have had the tree down in the time it takes them to de-sappling the forest floor, LOL.

Good stuff,

Sam

Yeah, if it's a good sized tree on steep, ####ty terrain, with a bunch of underbrush then by all means, clear yourself a getaway but that guy was on ground that's about as steep and underbrushy as my front yard

I wish he'd been along yesterday. I needed a trail cut through the 6 foot high huckleberry brush. The Used Dog and I foolishly fought our way though that stuff to get to a smelly pond.

He could have cut it while I was picking berries. Except with all that peering around, it might have taken him too long to cut the trail. And the huckleberry brush was definitely leaning.

Did you have a planned escape path from the Huckleberries? Were you wearing your Huckleberry vest and approved Huckleberry safety chaps? Did you approach the bush from behind, and assume the approved "prison straddle" position to accurately keep berries in lead?

I think you should ask the instructor how far he can run up the stem of a tree as its falling, of course jumping off just as it hits the ground. Cause you ain't #### if you can't get 35' up the stem with a nice fresh set of calks on. Closer to the topping too.

Challenging, but a fun trick.

You gotta admit the the hand lining up with the handle bar was a nice touch. Subtly understated, but nonetheless understood this is how a pro does it.

Gonna have to start doin' that myself, so folks might mistake me for a "pro".

Do you chew? If not, seems like a pretty good time to start. Pee when you feel like it, and take used dog.

Need to go with Copenhagen Snuff so the tiny particles get between every tooth and dribble everywhere or Beech Nut so you can spit water baloon sized dollops of juice on anybody's shiny new boots

and eye grease. black king pin grease. used. with grit.
cuts down on glare from all those shiney new bars and low cut stumps.
it'll match the plug chew.

practice the "huh, i don'ts getcha ?" look..

 

[madhatte]

Pfft. That's no way to fit in. Don't listen to these jokers. Whatcha gotta do is dress like a clueless bumpkin under the Husky swag. That way they'll never twig to the interloper in their midst.

 

[lfnh]

Hmmm, sounds like a pitch to go incogmagneto.
but the boots. dead giveaway.

Also, refer to any and everybody as "kid" while keeping a really annoyed look on your face

"listen, kid, that'll get ya killed quicker'n hell"

"awright kid, if you get that close to my leg with that saw again I'll wail hell outta ya with a piss elm club"

There's a yarder engineer to emulate. He wouldn't talk to me much for two years. Just look and spit. The second year he talked minimally. Noted that I was wearing tin pants...spit. "Don't see those much anymore', spit. He just had to point and glare, and the rigging crew would scramble. The third year, well, he talked. He was/is like a ship captain--had the stink eye down pat. He is a good example of what one should strive to be at a GOL. spit.

That was a good crew to work with. They could move wood.

Now, to motel it or stay in The Wing. The motel will have heat and room to spread out clothes. The Wing will be cheap, and have a comfy bed. There is a state park, with bathrooms and showers, on the same exit. But it is also located next to I-5. There is a Motel 6 and a Safeway (yummy bakery:smile2. We don't have no bakery here :mad2:

The Used Dog will NOT be going, and he is the heater for The Wing. But maybe we'll have another heat wave? Decisions, decisions...

i would wing it but i hate motels. jest stop at the bakery on the way there. have fun

 

[Gologit]

I wish I could take the time off to come up there and watch the fun. I know you'll take lots of pictures but who's going to take pictures of you ?

Maybe Madhatte or Cedarkerf could do the deed.


I wonder what the GOL folks would say if you showed up dressed like this and used a Humboldt?

 

[lfnh]

They'd be out classed.

but it might get them to re-think some of the bs.

well ok, maybe a few of them.

 

[Gologit]

Yup.

 

[madhatte]

Sounds dangerous. Probably get pelted with Peltor helmets, rocked with Rockman helmets, and even -- dare I say it? -- husked with Husky helmets. Is it un-manly of me to fear the wrath of the GOL crowd?
