Miss it, you barely got enough for a taste. I say you gather your stuff and hit the woods brother!

Some highlights from my last hilly job.

Stretched this ash out pretty nice. 2 12s, 2 10s, and 2 8s.

Snaking down the hill to the main road.

Flat on top of the hill.

Lately I've been cuttin swamps. We had no rain for nearly 2 1/2 months. Just crazy dry and no bugs. Not much for excitment though. Thicker than ####. Big timber, but high stumpin and buttin off a lot of the time.

This little bastard scared the #### out of me as I was working my way up the stem.

A siswheel that pulled well. This one was hanging over the highway pretty good. She needed to stay on the stump.

Any place in the high mountain West is better than the heat in Texas right now, lol.

108 degrees yesterday. In the shade.

112 today. In the shade.

I see why you scoffed at my 90° in the shade!

We have yet to break 100° this year, and I hope we don't. :msp_biggrin:

There's a line that Im trying to remember from Fear and Loathing. Oh yeah, "No sympathy for the devil."

I'll drink one for you tonight to cool off.

I know, but you are capable. .

Bitzer. That fox was dead wasn't it? ????? . Good looking cutting. Hows the 390 holding up? ?

 

[tramp bushler]

Not much of a pic. But a pic none the less

This one looks horizontal but it's still vertical when I took it

. Put a snipe on it. Steered it up the hill so it wouldn't take out the 3 main transmission lines at the Solomon Gulch power house.

Fuel bottle carriers

 

[Metals406]

Glen, that bottle setup is trick!

Nothing better than having some skills with leather, a guy can make just about anything.

 

[tramp bushler]

Ya it's handy. I kinda make lots of the stuff I use. I need t get a pic of the bar wrench carrier Cody made. I think he posted a pic of it some time ago.

 

[mile9socounty]

Glen I really like that crack jug setup you have there. Mine's not as pretty. Thin rope and a clip keeps it on my saddle. Kudo's man.

I bet ya he'd send ya his. . . I had that made for him.

He doesn't like it fer climbing, but said it'd be pretty good on the ground.

 

[Sport Faller]

The bottle holder's pretty cool
l.-r. Scotch, Water, Gin :biggrin:

 

[tramp bushler]

Ya I wear the bottles on the ground. But I am going to make a water carrier for my new climbing saddle..
. I used to use a loop with snaps in the lid of the fuel bottles. Maple syrup jugs made great fuel and oil jugs.

 

[northmanlogging]

you must work alone a lot cause carrying exter fuel and refreshments seems like a bung load of more work when you could just have a groundie do it for you, its that or I really wouldn't want to poke you in the eye in a dark alleyoke:
