Don't know but this sentence speaks volumes to me: "The timber growth offsets a tremendous amount of the annual quail and land management operating budget." Apparently operations are in the red even counting anticipated long term income despite the smiling girls on the horses.

See you later in the Not So Pros thread.

Bw, used my new alloy wedge today. Just cutting a few trees in the yard and didn't have a knife so I used the edge on that wedge to cut a length of rope to tie up my hydraulic lines. I might just blunt it as you suggested before I cut myself.

And my NSW forestry chainsaw manual mentions all types of wedges & their uses, it says steel to be used on big trees & only to be hit with a sledgehammer, my sawmill is just an old lucasmill, nothing special

Stop felling in icy or snowy conditions, that’s when all the cutting and skidding is done up here, almost 5 months of the year.

I wonder if the accident rate is higher? The other thing is you have the gear & the knowledge to safely deal with it whereas it isn't that common to work in those conditions here.

not sure about the accident rate, but familiarity makes things predictable, and therefore safer.

You folks are missing all the fun of frozen ground and frozen engines though. Guess the trade is every other living thing is trying to kill you. Dont move here

Found this old girl in my thinning patch

Looks a little bigger than your bite.

I could go for just a few acres covered with trees like that one. Probably would never cut any of them unless diseased or damaged.

That’s a nice big tall wildlife snag that will probably be put to rest the next time that patch is clear cut.

Hi Ron, no... but its on the first place. Spruces are damaged by a beetle called lykožrút(Ips typographus).
