Make sure you clean all traces of sap off your saw - it will rot magnesium very quickly

I’ve been slacking on taking pictures lately while logging. But I snapped a couple today while I was cruising timber. And lastly, some of my logs heading to the mill. Always satisfying to see that.

Just curious: why the shotgun? Rough neighborhood?

I was gonna ask, but I figured it may have been a rope launcher. A sidearm seems easier and handier to keep with you. Carrying a shotgun while wielding a saw in a tree sounds awkward...

I think that tile roof needs some attention. Nice pictures!

Went to my village of origin for holidays and hunting BUUUUUT they had other plans for me

Had to remove these trees at the older Forest Service building which now stands like a museum

Went for hunting at my village, wildboars are all over the forest you never know when they appear

Especially when other hunting teams with dogs are on the go

My beretta A400Xtreme has to be around

Initially day before I literally put everywhere in my chainsaw oil and straight after work I clean thoroughly for an hour

I know the palms and actually hate them

 

[Evansaw]

I m unlucky seems the palms are going after me. They called me for the pine which was previously disastrous maintained and for the palm

Once i start my chainsaw those goldfish will jump out

I was cutting for a 525C today. Been a few years. This thing is a beast.

That looks great! I love seeing mechanically harvested ground that’s not completely destroyed. I know it’s not a spot where you’re tethering a feller buncher, but still, that’s a really squared away operation.



They move logs to a landing. They’re really popular in pulpwood/smaller stems, matched to cut-to-length harvesters. CTL keeps the logs short and light so those machines thrive. The harvesters are also small, light and have a small footprint compared to a standard feller buncher/skidder setup.

Not everything is done short or small on a forwarder, it's not uncommon to see me doing 40's and up to 28" on the butt so not super small stuff.
