All I know is I'm done dealing with morons with big egos trying to tell me how to do something I've been doing for 20 years. If they where teaching me something new it would be different but it never is.:msp_bored:
In the woods I'm alone, if I screw up its my ass and no one else's, if I make some good decisions and trip into a good tract, then I make all the money and not some dude that is trying to retire and could give a #### less what the shop is doing day to day as long as he breaks 5mil this year.

What do you fellas have planned on this beautiful Sunday? Me, I am taking Colt to the MX track to have a ride day with all his little buddies and some of my friends will be out there as well. Then probably come back home and hunt this evening for a bit.
I was talking to a retired guy the other day and throughout the convo he kept saying that greed has caused a load of trouble ......think he meant the big comps etc don't care as long as they get the £££ or $$$ in and cutting all costs to do that is priority
I'm heading back to the landing got some clean up to do. but other than that start putting things away for the winter.
I have more rigging scattered across this end of the county then I care to think about...
and linkbucks is back.

I cut stuff up in the cull pile and left it for the old guy who needs wood. Then, I cut up a short log at another spot. I didn't have my splitting maul with me so only did six rounds, which were at my lifting capacity. I split it yesterday, and Doug-fir sure smells better than alder and maple when splitting. It is for the winter of 2014. Gotta be that much ahead here to get it dried out.

Got some good pics I'll post when back home tomorrow. I've worked for myself for the past 10 years. I make much less money, but have no boss. Got an offer for 50% more money, much less paperwork, much less administrate crap on my plate, decent health insurance for a change, but the trade off was having to answer to a administrative middle man about how I do stuff. Considered it, would have been better for my family, but I had to say no. I won't be able to stay on my own forever, but a few more years seemed worth the problems. At least last week it did

Haha... gotta do something late season to keep the crew morale up! That pic was actually taken just barely up Tiny Canyon off of Crum. I like that whole area a lot.
Nate this is the last tree I got for firewood this year. It was a storm damaged tree from the last snow storm we had. We ended up getting two pick-up loads out of it. Measured about 32 inches DBH. :msp_biggrin:

That's a nice stick of fir. Poor gal has quite a bit of shake. Was that on this side of the pass?
Just like Metals said... that is a beautiful tree! I cut a bit of everything over here. Tamarack, doug fir, lodge pole and a little spruce. I dont know what it is but the days I get into the fir are always the best, it must be the smell. Not to mention its excellent to burn!

TC look up excaliners. They are like a yoader but mounted on an excavator and typically have a spar off the top of the stick. Cheaper than a yoader. Jewell Manufacturing makes conversions. Not sure who else other than home brew.
Western white pine is native throughout the west. We even get it on poorer ground on the coast.

On a lot of the ground here, white pine is a desirable leave tree. I remember having some nice ones on a unit in the Swan. We were told, "You break it -- you buy it."
