Hello gang, drinking black velvetand coke, and things are a little fuzzy LOL! I need to get to the redwoods and put me mind at ease.
Had 3 pics sent to me some weeks back, i keep looking at the detail and marvel in the work involved in bringing down one of these giant redwoods. Those men are something else. The tools and boards, chains, snapdowns ect, ect all draged to the top, unbeleivable. I'm sure you men have seen these many times but out here its not and brings a whole new meaning to big wood.

That dude is a legend and hero of mine. Ahh the rockport tree. Would have loved to watch that one. I read that book like the bible. Randy I would have loved a glimpse of some things you have seen in the woods. Imagine before power saws, when some trees like mentioned would take a day, took a week by hand. Man what a tough living. Same went with the mills, immense amount of cutting. I remember switching from Doug fir on the green chain to redwood. Oh baby you get a workout.Had 3 pics sent to me some weeks back, i keep looking at the detail and marvel in the work involved in bringing down one of these giant redwoods.

ok, thanks, i guessing that a D8 or D9.
they would be snipeing the head also before snigging also, am i right.
i thought it was cat 8k but wasn't game to say that in case it was a big TD inter.
The cat 8's were popular out here in old growth, mostly D8H's but i knew 1 D8k working.
D7E's were also widely used then the G's replace them, now days high track cats are widely used and skidders to run them down to the dump. Nearly all of our old growth bush is locked up. (wisdom of our government)
edit,,,,
tried to rep you on the last pic, but you know what was said.
Not a Redwood, but a big damn tree nonetheless. These pictures pulled from Paccity's Centenial Tree thread in the F&L forum.

Aren't there handicapped accessible trails?
