We got a strip pulled up today. Actually had a nice flat in it. The flat didn’t have much snow-damage. A couple other guys cut up the other side. A lot of windfalls on this job.

One full 44lbs spoil of L56 045 wire and a 300 sized bottle 90/10 around 500 inches a minute of wire speed at 30 volts makes quick work of a set of gloves.

Lots of vine maple. The trees aren’t very big.

That vine Maple is some nasty stuff, a friends dad who was a veteran faller got killed by some vine Maple outside of Myrtle Point about 20 years ago.
Thanks for sharing the cool pic's.

Here is a load of Doug Fir heading to Starfire mill in Cottage Grove , Or. They are averaging 3 loads a day with single log turns , I am waiting for some video to post. They are hauling off the back side of a knob and dragging them over the knob and then down hill 500 feet .
Thanks Ryan.

Yeah, it’s deadly stuff. Always explosive when you cut it, can drag you down the hill; and leaves spears everywhere when you cut it. And a maze to get through.

Here you go.

Looks like gnarly yarding. Is it mostly downhill logging?

We had to leave a couple trees in the draw for safety’s sake. It’s still quite a mess in some spots. However, it’s not very steep now.

There’s only one time it’s great stuff is if you have a good old clump of it with a nice big fir that you need to save out sometimes that air spring can help.

It does help with that, and perhaps erosion control, lol.

I believe so. I have a couple friends who work for Wayne, just getting my info from them.

I have shot several deer on the coast that manage to end up taking there last breath in the nastiest Vine maple patches.
My hats off to you for packing a saw and gear through that stuff and even cutting your way through it, that is some chain throwing garbage right there.
Thanks Ryan.
