Quite an afternoon with OlsenofAlaska. I dropped three trees under his tutelage with wedges, worth about half a cord each. We worked one of the stumps over a little bit, he showing me how he would take down the leaning-est spruce in "my" stand that is leaning the wrong way. I'll leave that one for last to have the least chance of hanging it up in anything, if I have to tote it, I'll tote it.
I learned a bunch. One of the things I did when I got home was pull the log turning hook off my new felling lever. Worthless with a 4' Peavey already in the truck. I am seeing the lever as about as useful as a five inch felling wedge. Also kind of nice to have it around if all four of the wedges I bought are buried in the same tree and it still isn't over - for my hail Mary I can wiggle the lever in there and give it a last shove. I still want a felling lever tip on the empty end of my Peavey - one of my kids is in the welding program at the local college so I got a chance on getting one in a few months.
Looking forward to slowp's video, but getting late for me here tonight.
Thanks again Mr. Olsen.
