Gypo's never cut burned timber!......but when you live and work in California you will have to work in the burnt timber. This burn happened last summer between Westwood and Susanville Ca. Appox. 60,000 acres. About 80% goverment timber and the other 20% private. All the private will get logged and replanted and a very small amount of the goverment ground will get touched. Here's picture of my son Aaron cutting a burnt douglas fir. All the trees 22" and bigger are hand felled and the small is processed by machine. Only 1 or 2 logs are bucked from the tree and again the rest is processed. Dirty work and hard on the saws. Chains don't last long, but his Cannon bars hold up well. All his saws are set up with Maxflow filters changed everyday.
