Doesn't get much sketchier!
I’ve neglected most of these for over a year but I finally got to them now. My plan is to run the mill pretty steady after the holidays until the big cold/snow then I start my firewood! BF, WS and the occasional RS in pile. And yes yes, I have a trailer but for the bit I was doing, it was quicker to back the truck alone.

getting a little arty with my vidjeos...
First a huge hard maple tree.
Then a huge soft maple
Then a huge soft maple
500i like a hot knife through butter
Then this mess, 5 hard maple blew over at once on my neighbours farm. Wet ground this year.
Disappointment, rot in the bottom of the Log.
Glad I had heated saw, -23c here in the morning.

I felled a hollow 6 ft. cottonwood some years back -- can't find the photos. Was a nail biter -- you could look through the base in spots. All the goats survived.
Found some of a crane job I did; removed a couple big beetle kill pines from around a house. Needed a spotter on the roof to signal the crane operator for the tree out of sight. I ran around like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs -- subbed out the crane outfit and climbers. Tight crew. Didn't so much as crack a shingle.

Judging by the madrone stump these idiots are lucky they're alive. They better quit stealing wood before they hurt themselves.

I can't view this link because of a pop-up. Open with care.
its just an anti add block deal-e-o
bunch of dummies back cutting Madrone without a face cut, stealing, and likely selling for firewood... Business as usual for the Forest Service anymore.
and the same dummies will ***** about the forest being gated off.
Found this interesting, and another good example of why I wasn't a Faller. LOL
Hat's off to everyone who handles these situations with skill and competence.
Take care.

Last fall (2021) salvage logging on the North Complex fire east of Oroville, CA. The tree (snag) is a Sugar Pine. It was 6' 3" average diameter inside bark on the stump. The saw is an old 084 pulling a 42" Oregon bar and 75CJ chain set at .035.
This was on Sierra Pacific Industries land that I believe was part of a fairly recent "land swap" with the USFS. A lot of rather nice timber but entirely burned up. Approximately 319,000 acres- ouch! That's total fire that includes many land owners.
The smile on my face has nothing to do with the nice tree... I'm thinking about ski season which began in about a month after this picture was taken. LOL
Like my Stihls but LOVE my Atomic Redster FIS G9's!

I don't believe I've ever seen a White Pine. Had you not said what kind of tree that was I would have bet that it was a hardwood. What state was that video taken in? Thanks.
Hello Long Bar,
I am in Rhode Island. Stihl MS461 with a 16" bar lol. 72 ck square filed.
Guess you could call me short bar 16.

Ever seen this picture before.
Many are unaware that Michigan was a large producer of white Pine, we still have 3 areas of white pine that have been preserved, beautiful old growth trees.
