Yup



How are you Bob?

Doing fine. Working waaaay too much and not playing enough but other than that things are good. If that OG thing goes this winter I was thinking it would be fun to get Burvol down here and have him use one of your old school Macs on an old school tree. Might make for some good video. I'll PM you when things calm down a little.

It was definitely a BUOL whittling away on that punkin. The punkin blocks do not split easily so he was having to rip them. I should have taken a picture of his saw. The chainsaw collectors may be horrified. It was wiped clean but well used--the labels were worn off, there was wear.:eek: Let me see if I get the terminology correct, the chain was square ground skip. The perfect set up for him.

Now that we are in hootowl, he'll have to put off getting more wood. :cry:


Bob Gologit, you might have earned back a smidgen of pie. Maybe the first cut.

I posted some of his You Tube vids, got a kick out of the entertainment value. Cody (Tarzan Tree) worked with Larry. The man Cody refered to as the strongest human being he's ever seen in the woods is Todd Hopkins. I don't know any of them. I thought that Jeff Revis might have been Larry from a picture, then found his videos, as they are both compact, barrell thighed looking dudes, wearing yellow hats LOL. Cody and I's mutual friend, a former Columbia Helicopter cutter says ole' Revis is probably the best OG timber faller in the modern era, hands down with not much argument from our peers.

I like Larry's vid of him having his son throw the scope.
I haven't seen all the hunting videos from him.When you say throw the scope, do you mean he chucked it out? Why? It's Larry that goes by the name Bushler on You Tube correct? Man he seems like a real character!

Definitely can attest to That! Jeff and Todd are both awesome timber fallers that I have been fortunate enough to work with. Actually Jeff was my bullbuck for Columbia, and the only reason I ever went back to work for them, as I have a ton of respect for him. He is falling timber now with another guy I worked with, who is now a cutting contractor...Ron Grove is the guys name, who also belongs in this class. The first time I worked with all of these guys I was 19, and I definitely felt like a little boy when I was around this group!
 
Oh joy.

It's Sunday into early next week that we up the ante on the rainfall as forecast models show a long train of tropical moisture taking aim at the Pacific Coast. This is our proverbial "Pineapple Express" fire hose of moisture, but models still are not agreeing on where this hose will aim and how long it'll stick around, but with it in the neighborhood, we need to plan as if it's going to rain heavily non-stop for a couple days and keep an eye for potential river flooding.

Yeehaw.....
 
Could be worse... I think the NYCSM guys have all switched over to slabbin' snowpack for igloos rather than timber for cabins.
 
cool thread,,,,,

I know Leupold scopes are tuff,,,,,,,,

but the U toob of the kid throwing the perfectly good rifle scope is just too weird for me,,,

Oh joy.

Be careful out there, Patty
