A big Sitka spruce had to do some limbing on. Pics 40-50 feet up still 30-36" diameter. 50+ inches DBH
 
Grandad

A couple of Grandad back in the early 60's. He used a td9 to roll it up a ramp of logs to get it on the truck. Weigh station in Ten mile Oregon. If I remember right he got seven loads out of that tree.

That wood is so tall it will break in the air on the way down. Nice climb Brian.
 
A foot of rain is forecast in the next 2 days from the pineapple express.

I'm in a logging camp an hour north of Sechelt BC, by water taxi. The scenery is amazing. It's a PNW thing, nobody would understand.

How long ago did loggers stop using springboard notches? I'm building powerline in second growth where most of it is 100' tall and 2-3' wide. Mixed cedar fir and hemlock... The oldar cedar stumps are all 3-10' wide, cut high with a springboard.

Are you blown away or flooded yet? The pineapple express is another PNW thing. I understand. :cheers:

If not, sounds like there'll be even more chances for you. Our county has a flood watch going. There was enough snow in the lower elevations to turn my leather caulks into platform shoes. :cry:
 
its been windy and rainy watching the news and heard that 2 people had died because of falling trees

Everybody knew Sam, it was a loss to the entire community when he passed, my wife took care of him in the Hospital.

He still gets talked about around the fire and everyone has a good story about things he did for them. When a good friend of mine got into logging he had no money, Sam set him up with everything he needed to work in the woods on a handshake, it was the first time they met.

Thanks for posting the pics.
