Reminds me of watching cable D8s rooting up large oaks as a little boy. Sand was hard on them. Within 20 years most were replaced with wheel loaders with rakes. Never saw one of those root up a massive oak though. Ron

More pillaging to come
In our rural setting when one works alone or with just one other, it would be nice to have two 911 callers in a life threatening emergency - the one at the crisis and one who knows where the first is and the general lay of the land. 911 can make the decision whether keeping the second caller on the line is beneficial or not. In addition, I believe that my firewood buddies could respond quicker than, and could be of on-site assistance to, emergency personnel. Your thoughts?
Do any of you have a short code to text if you have an immediate life threatening emergency? Something short that could easily be group texted prior to the 911 call, unlikely to be accidentally sent, and that could be understood to be serious - not misunderstood to be that I need help because I am stuck in the mud, have a hung tree, or it's hot and some extra hands would be nice.
Thanks,
Ron

Pretty cool, but a dozen of them would be pretty pricey to buy and maintain. If I were a backwoods hiker or hunter, I would probably consider one.

What did the load scale out at?
I will likely never know for sure. But likely around 5k mbf, this is part of my contract work, luckily I'm not running this particular circus
ATTENTION FORESTERS
Figured I would put this here rather then starting a new thread
Been a trend lately of standing timber being left in draws and gullys, which I understand is to provide shade to the water that runs through there, riparian zones etc
But usually by the end of the year there ends up being a substantial amount of blow down in these areas.
Is this something that is taken into account by the Foresters?
Why the Hel can we not salvage some of this timber?
It seems very wasteful to me, especially since there was a really nice stand of timber not 1000 yds from my front door, and now about half of the leave trees have been taken down by the wind, granted that wind is one hell of a skookum cutter as they are all laid out real nice, and wouldn't take much for a skidder to sneak in and do some clean up... probably get 5-10 loads out of the whole mess

Oregon has been like this for a while it’s a waste to say the least especially since we have to pay taxes on it and receive nothing back for it other then a smile from the cities.
