Hello my friends :) Has been a while since I have been on here and just thought I would post up a couple of videos to show what I have been up to for 47 days of the Summer. Sure is nice to be back home...now I have to get caught up on honey-do's and tree jobs :)

That first video is badass to the core -- can't say I ever felled a tree that was spitting fire out of the face cut!
 
I see you are using a blue wedge. On the last one, had you paired it up with a pink wedge, instead of a yellow one, the harmony would be balanced and the tree would have behaved.:msp_biggrin:

And, I was about to throw things at the screen during the last part of the first video, but then you read my mind and used your hardhat to scoop up water!:) But I'm just a B-Bucker..still...:msp_smile:

How come nobody uses The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies or other peaceful happy tunes for background music? Must be a copyright thing.

Hope all is well and back to normal.

I'll have to try the pink wedge with the next dicey snag I cut Patty:msp_wink:

I planned to use my hard hat all along to put out that fire...I actually put quite a few out that way...at least cooled them off so that I could fall them. I thought about leaving my helmetcam attached to test if it really was waterproof, but I decided not to go there :)

The music is a tough one for me...I was using whatever youtube would supply so as not to get into trouble...I get into that enough!
 
Just chillaxin :) Been home for a few days, and I think it is about time for me to stop being a lazy cull!

I'd call it more of a transition back to normalcy. The Fire Organization used to drive me insane. Or insaner.

And then the black stuff continues to come out the nose for a while...bleahhh. :msp_ohmy:

And I forgot to say thanks for posting your videos.
 
I'm going to guess it was an attempt at a siswheel to try to keep it out of the creek?

It wasn't an attempt at one, it was one.

Just broke early being a rotten cull tree. Hence the title of the video, "Can't win em all". ;)

Nice job, as a fellow former forest firefighter I can concur with you on many levels and have done my share like that as well, but not as tall here in Ontario as you guys have them there!

I meant to say it was a siswheel at an attempt to keep it out of the creek. :bang:

I was glad I recognized the cut, I've never seen one being made, only the butt and stump after its over. :blob2:

It's a good cut to know, like a lot of the other specialty cuts. It doesn't come with a warranty, though. :D
