Douglas Fir, ported 372xp, ported Makita 6401BB, 357xp.
That was only part of the wood. Little bit of rain, but mostly fog.

Didn't see any animals. Friend was there yesterday hunting and saw 15 deer. But don't think they'll come around us while using saws and a wood splitter.

Killed lots near logging activity back home in Idaho. Your pictures bring back some good memories, thanks for sharing!

Looks like my kind of day. That property looks like a saw miller's dream.

Looks like fun, that 8274 makes for a good skidder.
Looks like beautiful country and an enjoyable day in the woods

I'm surprised you pulled a splitter up, isn't Doug fir easy to split?

I've always hand split Doug Fir after it's dried a bit. Pretty easy unless you hit a knot. Probably more of a time saving measure in this case...

Real nice picts Will, got yourself some straight grained DF there, putting the winch to good use.
Thanks for sharing the picts of your coast. Did you cross over from Swartz Bay to Fulford Hbr?

Your welcome, always glad to share.
Yes, it is. Lots of Cedar there too.
Lots of fun. The old 8274 gets er done nicely.

Yes it is Brad. I enjoy every minute of it. I should of taken a pic of the lake, couldn't see it for the first half of the day, right beside Maxwell lake.
Its fairly east when its drier, belive it or not a 8lb maul can just bounch right off it, it saves our backs and is much quicker.
Yes.
Its really awesome!! You can't hear a soul anywhere. Shut everything off, and its dead silent. My kind of place. There is no public land anywhere near.
Thanks Jerry. Winch works great, and yes, nice Doug Fir. Yes came from Swartz Bay to Fulford.

I love Saltspring
Saltspring is a very nice place, I've spent many an evening at Moby's in Ganges.
While I love the San Juans, for some reason my little sailboat always ends up crossing the border to visit Saltspring, Saturna, and the Penders.
Not saw related but still pretty fun- Here is a cool photo I took during a sailboat race last November off the Southeast corner of Saturna.
