Me and the free for nothing trailer busy today with a scrounge from my newest new best friend. Got 3 new best friends in this neighborhood just on word of mouth. 2 loads so far today, going back for more later.20200524_100932.jpg
Observation: What is it about pine that makes people cut the branches long so they look like Czech hedgehogs? Are they trying to prevent an invasion into their wood pile?

Pine, spruce, etc., have closely spaced branches. Unless you plan ahead, a little, it is easy to get your powerhead hung up, or banging against, other branches. Or, if you stand with the tree to your left side, it is hard to get the bar close to the trunk.

Compare this with 'snedding': Soren Erickson in action!

Yeah, I was being a little facetious, but come on, some of these are ridiculous. And this was just a few that were within reach on one trailer load.

Fortified my cutting area from foreign invaders!20200524_143718.jpg
I wasn't there so I can't confirm, but this looks like the pineapple upside down double farmer cut with a half twist. Difficulty 4.2.

It did leave a couple of corkscrew-like shapes where it pulled around the branches which I thought looked pretty cool.

Any trucks in the Hertz rental car company liquidation sales that must be kicking off about now given they sought bankruptcy protection the other day?
Quick update. With something like over 20 billion in debt and something like 1/2 a million cars, at what point does the Hertz bankruptcy turn into a train wreck(for sellers anyway) for the used car market? Perhaps they are trying to simply restructure and stay in business, so the used car market won't be flooded?
Here are the trucks they have for sale. Are they panic prices or pretty normal?
