I thought I'd post this here instead of the logging forum. I work in the woods. When I'm waiting for something, I'll sometimes take some pictures. I thought you'd like to see some typical stuff.
Here's the chaser, who unlike the guy on axemen, has to buck, limb, unhook, brand and paint logs, and gofer whatever the yarder engineer needs. He's working on the saw on an improvised workbench which also serves double duty as a splicing table (for the lines).
Yesterday, there was a carburator from one of the 460's setting on the table.
Here's a bucking picture.
You can't see the chips flying, but they were. Strangely enough, the landing saw is sharp. Maybe because it hasn't been sent out to the rigging crew yet?
And, since all we do is commercial thin units, here's a problem that occurs when people marking trees to cut do not understand about "limb lock" and having openings for the faller to fall to. This faller is pretty good, but had me go down and mark some additional trees so he could get them on the ground.
That's him looking up in the background. The cut trees are the smaller trees and don't have enough weight to carry them through the canopy of leave trees. There was a lot of cussing in this area. Oh, he usually cuts with a 460 but sometimes takes the 660 down "to exercise it."
Just a typical day in the woods. Well, not typical because it was hot instead of foggy.
