I like to take people at their word, but some guys just take it a little too far. Hundreds of feet up with 6' bar? Unless you featured in a prominent poster sold by Gerald Beranek you're going to need proof on that one. Hundreds meaning at least 200, that must beat record holders to need a 6' bar. And when you start talking about it like it was every day before morning tea instead of once ever in your whole life, to guys who do take out some of the biggest trees, then lookout. The guy was given a pretty gentle poking. He could have backed down a little and said 'well, there was that one tree, but mostly we were in smaller stuff' or whatever. If you decide to not back down and maintain such an extravagant claim to real loggers you better be prepared to back it.
The stuff I do is small compared to the stuff you guys do. I'm an urban tree worker. Most of the stuff I see on a daily basis is under 3'. Some of it well under. Once in a while I stumble upon something big. Big to me is 7' or 8' dbh and up to 200' tall. We have nothing like that in the city, only up in the mountains. I take pics when I get one like that. Screw you guys, i take pics for myself.
Yeah I know all the big ones are gone, but even back in the day 15'dbh with 6' at 200' was exceptional, not the norm. They took pics of trees like that around the time the camera was invented, because they were rare even back then!
