    The "Not So Pro" discussion thread...of course Pros are welcome!

    Even though there is a thread for off topic chatting...none of "Us" are on it. I figure maybe this will be a place to discuss whatever such as "How ya doing" "Whats yer weather" "Yer in the dog house aye" "I woke up on the floor" or maybe even some logging discussion. :msp_w00t: ...instead of...

    Tandem falling

    Prolly most of you guys have cut timber side by side with another cutter, well today was my first time...and it was awesome! A guy came out and cut with me today and we flat layed out the timber. This guy evidently went to school to cut high grade walnut veneer. I learned some tricks and showed...

    What mph wind gusts do you go home in?

    I am wrapping up a tract of timber. I was greeted by the boss today as he hiked in and pulled me from work. I got one of those "Do you not realize there are 30 mph winds today...and you are cutting by yourself???", talks today. The way I see it, the skidder op didn't show (in jail), the timber...

    Felling notch I.D.

    Hey, so I was doing a clean up sweep along a fence. There was a tall slick RO with a 2ft butt. It was leaning towards a fence...I don't fix fence for free :msp_smile:. So I was gonna put a notch in it and have the skidder push it. Well the skidder op (who has logged all his life) said let me...

    The time is now

    Well it's warming up and winter is showing a near end. I have been wintering with a crew because they also had their own sawmill...so I could always have something to do even in bad weather. I have been logging for a crew on the weekends and the boss offered me a Helluva deal if I would come...

    Cloning OG redwoods???

    Ok, I just watched on T.V. where in Oregon, there is a guy cloning the giant redwoods. So...sorry for my ignorance but I don't really get it. Here are a few points that strike me right off the bat. #1. Do the redwoods not drop seed from the same trees they are cloning? #2. Would the genetics...

    What do you guys do about taxes?

    I am seeing a flicker of a bright light in the near future. I am fixing to switch logging crews pretty soon. Up till now i have always been on a payroll type deal with taxes being withheld. I am assuming this new crew doesn't withhold any. The pay is going to be much higher and I don't want to...

    Yellow pine toneage

    I was about to thin my pine thickets and sell some pine poles. I got to thinking that with it being winter and the sap being down, is my pine going to weigh as much right now or wait till spring when the sap comes up? Pine poles don't bring a whole lot by the ton to start with, but I don't...

    Felling question

    So today I was felling some hardwood (red oak, gum, white oak, and water oak) on a really steep incline. We rarely use wedges in the woods. Since I have been on this forum I have been reading posts from loggers about using wedges. I take alot of pride in dropping trees where I want them to go...
