Softwoods we cut are heavy and pretty hard in winter. I'm mechanical logging so I don't feel the difference in the chain with the harder frozen wood. Chains last longer actually because the snow keeps it out of the dirt.

Thinking out side the shed.
As a disclaimer, the choker is only snug, just enough to keep it from falling into my saw, not enough to effect the tree in anyway, until it starts to tip.
I am fully aware that if things went wrong that choker could easily kill me, hence the rapid departure from the scene. Rope may have worked better, but a choker is what I had, I however would not recommend using chain.

also I apologize for the minute or more of looking up my sleeves, notice no cards up there though?

Looks like it kept the butt from bouncing into the shed ,good idea
Finally a break from the cold, -10 today but with windchill -24, so not much has changed however I was able to put a few more of the ash on the ground today.
So thanks to that little monsoon the past couple days, the skid trail is under ice. This will be a hell of a job getting them skid, good thing i have 150' of cable on my winch.Bunch more ash down today at 0*F. Used the humboldt cut I saw in one of hotsaw101's videos, fair size ash closet to 24".

Try throwing a small snipe in the face or start with a Humboldt then block it'll help kick the tree off the stump as well as keep the twist out of it.

I've still never understood why folks east of the Rockies use a Saginaw face all the time.

That cuttin with the saw above yer head just fills the back of your shirt up with chips anyways .
Seriously though, i think its a hold over from the axe and misery whip days, way easier to swing down than up,
Logging really took off around here in step with the development of the power saw IEL Titan and McCullach all come from the pnw, and they pretty much revolutionized the logging world. Especially when Oregon brought in the modern chains.
New technology new techniques
