Super sketchy, but that's why we get the big bucks.

Got moved to a new Division today and had to snag a cat line. That's where that picture came from.

Sounds like about 3-4 more days and we'll be demobed. They've worked hard to keep us here.

Big back-burn scheduled for Wednesday with the helo torch. They want us here for that too, which is cool.

 

[madhatte]

I usually have the cat bump over the ones I am not willing to cut. My brains ain't got ROPS/FOPS!

 

[Metals406]

These were all on the soon to be black side of the line, on extreme grade.

He helped us with one hung Grand fir/blowdown, we had to get all the others.

 

[madhatte]

I do not envy you. That's hot, dirty, dangerous work.

 

[northmanlogging]

Some spring board fun from this morning,

That sucker was rotten and I had to turn it 90 deg to the left so I needed to get above that squishy spot, kind worked. smashed a leave tree, but didn't smash the barn in the background.

I was on the ground whacking wedges when it went, pic was a photo op... But I had that extra board in there if'n I needed to go in a hurry, Doc say's no jumping and whatnot for awhile...

Jim cut'n on the cat line mid day, last week.

I had run out of fuel, so I figured I'd film.

Out to milk rotten trees.

Hahaha no doubt!

 

[madhatte]

"Yummy tree milk" is the quote of the day for sure, followed by "This one's not as rotten". Good vid, fine snaggin'!

 

[Eccentric]

You have a sexy camera voice too Nate.

Next time you cut a tree down, gaze at the stump, turn to one of your helpers -- tilt your hardhat like ol Pat and say, "Yup, just like I though. . . Tree milk."

Then walk away.

That's my siren song.

LOL.

Is the bar on your partner's new saw a Techlite? Hard for my eyes to tell from the video................but I do see the orange stripe on the rail (near the powerhead on this one..............where Techlites have had it near the tip).

Can't see enough detail to see if it has a Techlite tip (or any replaceable tip..............the bar's too shiny in the video).

The bar also looks to be longer than 28" (longest length that was offered with the Techlite). I'm hoping that this here is a new/current production Husky 30-32" length lightweight bar, and that they're available for purchase....
