That's my favorite falling video. I showed it to the guy that I was working with and we both started saying, "That's a wrap." after we got the trees bucked out of the roads.

Do you guys think I could make any money with this outfit?

It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong. I had a bunch of red xs on my first several tries.

It sure enough eats wood. I'll look at the rest of the vids. I appreciate hot running saws, regardless of color.

Here's a nice stick I got in June of 08. Was a full length snag that had to come down either in or out of control. If it had fallen out of control it would have side windered half a dozen smaller 3-5' firs over a well traveled road. As a matter of fact 14,000 school kids travel it a year. I can't think of a worse visual than having a bus load of kids hit by a tree like this. This is the same road that SlowP referred to as having a man killed in 09 by a falling tree.

Hell of a stick! I would have paid to see that one in person.

Yeah, when it went the whole thing came down over the stump about 40 feet up. Got a little up my neck on that one. About 40-50 feet up it turned into the most beautiful clear yellow fir you've ever seen. It's still laying there, rotting. I had two video cameras on that one as I figured it would be the last really big fir I'd ever fall. Also had a still photographer that took about 450 still pics. Pretty impressive when it went.
Is that the exploded into toothpicks snag across the road from the Lone Tree (55) road?

Yeah, that's the one. Where were you on that one? I would have thought you'd have been there.

Nice pics Sam! Good to see I'm not the only one in winter still. 2-3 inches of snow on the ground today with occasional thunder. The snow turned to freezing rain and now its startin to firm up for the night.
The latest snowfall I can remember was about 20 years ago on May 15. We got about a foot that day and a lot of trees came down. I was nearly squished that day by a Maple in my back yard.

It's getting a bit old...I drag the winter boots to work until about June 15th for back up. One of the worst snow storms I've ever been in was on June 6th a few years ago. It snowed about 3 feet on the job that day. I've never seen my tent wetter of flatter.
