Wow...

 

[bigbadbob]

Im west of the prairies and we have had like 2mm of rain since January,,

Apparently so. That's 1500 miles from me. A bunch of small fires in Ontario, one large one but it's way up in the wilderness.

We haven't had rain for at least two weeks and it's been quite warm for this time of year.

I sure hope is going to be a better year for the folks up in the PNW and California.

It's going to be a bad one here this year. South and Central Cascades are at about 45% of annual snowpack and the snow is pretty much gone at elevations under 5,000'.

There's some pretty extensive reading on the national outlook here, which includes Canada and Mexico: https://www.predictiveservices.nifc.gov/outlooks/NA_Outlook.pdf

The main areas forecast to get hit hard here are central Oregon, central and northern California, eastern and northern Washington, Great Basin (southern Idaho/northern
and eastern Nevada/western and northern Utah/western and southern Wyoming), and the Rocky Mountain states. The southwest is getting hammered pretty good right
now, but not as bad as last year.

Late season fires will be particularly bad here for southern Oregon and California, northern Washington, and western Idaho.

Thanks for posting the link Jacob. Good read.

Cut this Last summer before the fire.
Now we are back salvaging the young timber after it burned. I didn't think we would be cutting them for a while g trees

This should be interesting I wonder who will be the first to require it in the PNW.

I’ve seen that. Looks like it would work in perfect, perfect, perfect conditions. Not the broke up, rugged ground that we can have here with varying tree sizes. Interesting though.

New Zealand is requiring no one on the ground by 2025 so like I said it maybe a requirement out here vs what’s really right.

Yeah...I’d say a lot of our coast ground isn’t going to agree with that. I’ll leave it at that.

I remember saying the same thing about tethering up here but it got mandated to even keep working.

My brother and the Komatsu hard at work knocking over some pines to widen a driveway and my 562 waiting to buck them up. I wanted to drop them, but it's easier to pop the rootball with the trunk still attached so no dice.

A Skagit side kapowsin unit. A long shot so quality not the best but shows the steepness for the flat landers

Got a fun fact got a cutting card not long ago it says all conventional faces will reject the logs and all hot saw cut trees will be rejected.
