The forestry and logging pictures thread

[geslayton]

Here’s a few of my recent outdoor pictures. I work in the woods chasing loggers around and then come home and play on my bandmill/cut a few logs to feed it for relaxation.

In addition to my acres of privately-owned Alaska birch for firewood sales and flooring/trailer-deck boards, Ive added a state of Alaska timber sale for spruce saw logs.

I paid it off in full this summer. State extended my contract out to 2 years, at no charge. Really thoughtful, patriotic guys, them interior AK foresters. I had concerns that during days of fatigue I wouldn't be able to finish er off in one year, single handedly. So they really helped a disabled combat veteran get his foot in the door at a fair price. They'll even allow me to extend my acreage on the 2 year contract, if I run outta wood

After walking my entire timbersale boundary, I lost track of my count of 120+ foot white spruce. Couldn't sleep last night shopping for 16-18 ft log-loader trailers. Saw at least a dozen ruffed grouse out there on the timber sale, in the spruce sappling thickets

Dream come true. My whole homestead is an off-grid logging camp way out of town. I dont ever have to travel for work again.

But so much to do! I gotta clear cut a 2 acres of birch for a log-landing yard on my private property and have the dozer operator flatten it out.
