This is nerve racking job that we are on. If you enjoy natural adrenaline rushes its definitely for you

You’ve gotta love it, and I sure do! I’m very thankful to be able to do what we do everyday. Like @HYPERSAWS said, this strip is a little stressful, as it is very difficult to keep this big timber on the hill, and not destroy it. And staying safe in the process.

Do you guys block out faces any?

That makes me think the old-timers left that big wood at the top of the hill because they couldn't deal with it without busting it up. We had a unit like that on the upper Cow Creek road - there were around
20-22 Sugarpine and Fir over 70" on the stump. It was bad ground - rocky and steep. There weren't many good places to put them.

Yeah, the majority of the unit was your typical Weyerhaeuser plantation trees, but this corner has never been logged before.

Sometimes. The problem we are having is that the ground is just so rocky and short for the old growth. A lot of them lean down hard and are rotten, and if we can side-hill them, they are really trying to jump the stumps, or just blow them out altogether.

That’s normally a good time to block a face to keep them on the stump longer.

I don't see how that would do anything. The problem is after the tree leaves the stump its 30ft down a rock bluff or rolling sideways getting broken up. Like jj said there is a reason why it's still standing. You could do all the stump tricks in the world and the results would be the same. At least 50% of them are going to the bottom

Worth a shot, it’ll keep them on the stump longer possibly keep them there after they’ve hit as well.

We got to finish it up with a nice buncher flat actually, that they let us hand-cut. Hopefully we keep getting work, but things are pretty slow because of the virus related issues. Everything mostly cut with Stihl 461’s.

You healed up already or..WOW..how long have I been drunk anyways?

oh c'on man, the trees aren't that BIG. Your a good cutting and can keep advancing. You are just going to get better and better and better. You can problem solve from one side. You can do everything, I know that. Please don't revert friend.

nerve racking is going into a Cedar job with to much time out. You think about all the people that got killed that you believe that were safer and better. They parked their truck for a flight and never consciously (or otherwise) saw pavement again. I used to be a race car driver on the way into north end of the island and then I started smelling the flowers on the way. I lose my fears out there (in comparison) but never lose touch of your fears.

I had two big ones make it almost all the way to the bottom on that Cow Creek job and man did I ever get chewed out for that.

I was working with one of the Rondeau brothers on that job and we were able to jack the top seven sticks into a false draw on the east side of a small rock bluff.
We'd launch one in, and then I'd run up and manufacture it. Halfway
through jacking a 75" Pine, the packing glands blew out on our jacks and we had to leave the tree standing over night on jacks and wedges, and then bring another set
of rams in the next day. As you guys know, that's nerve racking. We flagged the tree off to 150' out. We got it down the next morning without too much trouble. I had an
084 on the job to buck everything out.
