Fell the next tree this morning. Knew it had a bit more brush the the previous ones but...
Prior to falling:
After:
The stump is next to that stem still staning about in the middle background.
Side to side that is about 30' across. Tree is 70-80ft long.
After three hours of cut/pile brush later. Those stubs are 8" and up:
I was soaked with sweat, rung out like a wet dishrag and so pooped I could barely walk. Didn't even pick up the last of the firewood size stuff I had on the ground. Those stubes are 8" and up. At least it is now about 90% brushed and piled and ready for some serious firewood cutting. Taking tomorrow off to work the wood pile some and recuperate.
I need to recalibrate my eyeballs. I had guessed that tree as smaller than the previous two who when 36". This one went 42"
