that video also shows the rh coast guys why we run 32-36 bars on 70cc saws ,,they work fine here :msp_thumbsup:
I always enjoy watching this video. . . This guy reminds me of watching Ron fall timber. No effort -- just doing.
Then I step up all nervous cause he's eyeballin' me, and look like a monkey humpin' a football.
What's the story with the fire hose in the eye thing?
Another local fire crew(friends of ours)took their type '6' to the ####ey lake Bible Camp to provide water for a GIANT slip and slide. The kids were playin' with a "toy hose" and it got away from one of the kids and my 13 yr. tried to grab it and took a blast of water from a stream nozzle @ 5'. I guess the pump was whindin' pretty good. the best thing is the Doc' anticipates a full recovery.
owch, hes a brave little guy to try. I know that had to hurt, glad he will be ok.
it's 90 deg. in the open here and no promise of rain in at least 10 days. Grass hoppers are every were. need some more chickens.
um 63 ...............:msp_wink:
Let me simplify a bit. The falling certification process should in no way be confused with production falling. The whole intent is to try to get folks to do things safely and go home in one piece. If you want to be a production faller, by all means, go find a good faller to learn from, but it sounds like you already are a faller. The FS is interested in safety and not speed. I have not gone through it, I only wanted to buck blowdowns out of my way. I have worked with the FS fallers and there is quite a process to go through just to make sure all people are out of the way.
I realize their fallers are not all great and wonderful. We've got a couple who are, here. But, they've been at it a while. The C faller went through the system and also learned from a local guy who works with the FS as a falling certification consultant and is one of the best, local old growth fallers in our area. He was hurt in a car accident and doesn't fall full time now, but does do the hazard trees that the FS fallers don't want to mess with.
You are not alone. A very good local production faller, who is on my "safe to be near" list, wanted to volunteer and cut down hazard trees along his daughter's school bus route. He was told he had to go through certification and could only be a B faller at most. He gave up. Then they worked out a deal where he could be a contractor and he cut at the rate of $4 a tree. I got in trouble over it, because we had only done a quick drive by. Once you get out and walk, you find a heck of a lot of hazard trees, and he ended up making close to his day wages. I helped pack gear for him and had to listen to criticism of the certification program frequently.
Think two worlds. FS falling and production falling. They are different beasts.
