I just found out that Packsaddle Grove, where we climbed Sequoias in 2009, is gone. Nothing but an ash heap and the Packsaddle Giant is dead. I am, as Butch would have said, with sadz! http://sequoiaquest.com/starvation--packsaddle-102322-102522.html

Probably @Burnham or @stikine can answer this. When you log an area, but leave some seed trees behind to start the next generation, what is the term for those young trees that sprout up? It is done a lot with Beech here, we hardly ever plant those. My apprentice is having English at the forestry...

February 2nd I screwed up on a storm thrown Sitka. Should be no surprice to anyone here, since according to Murphy, I don't know shit about felling trees. It killed my beloved 500i for good. They have been on back order ever since. As a matter of fact, you can't find a pro-saw in Denmark these...

The certified arborist's apple tree! The old apple tree behind my house has finally come to an end. From what I can find out, the tree was planted when the House was built, 1846. It has been ailing for some years, as you can see; a third broke off 3 years ago. The rest is full of different...

Happy new year. Here were I live, we are now 47 minutes into 2021. The mail order bride and I are going to bed, after eating and drinking well. 2020 is finally at an end. I wish for you all that 2021 may be a better year than 2020.

In this case that thing was me! I followed up on the 5 year long streak of accidents and illness that has been my curse, by tripping on the stairs and doing a flat fall in darkness all the way down. Result: right wrist broken, jaw broken, cranial fracture resulting in intercranial bleeding and...

I thought it was time we had a gardening thread going again. I always enjoy seeing pictures of other member's gardens. Mick's wonderful garden in France in particular. Not much happening here yet. The berry and herb garden has been spring cleaned. I have spread composted horse manure in the...

I've just found out that I can buy these in Sweden. The exchange rate from Danish to Swedish kroner is VERY much in my favour. Do any of you have any experience with them and how well they hold up?

One of my former apprentices parked his Honda VFR under a Cornus mas. Some fruits fell on his seat and TOTALLY discolored/bleached the leather. He asked me if I knew what caused that. Since I don't I'm asking all the guys and gals here, that are not just dumb fallers.

This one has me stymied:

I just came across this video. It shows some of the dangers of cutting windfalls, even though he doesn't cut anything that is severely bent. I've literally years of experience in doing this in both hard and softwood. The 1999 storm alone took about 1½ years to clean up after. One thing I do...

Waiting with bated breath for this one. My dealer has offered me the first one he gets to test. It has more power than a MS661 and weighs only slightly more than a MS462. They sure make it easy for this logger to get old:). The link shows the comparison between the different models in weight...

I've been asked to do a hard crown reduction on a Liriodendron tulipifera. They are not native here and quite rare, so my experience with them is very limited. I've killed a couple, that is all. How well do they handle that kind of treatment?

I brought a couple of old 441s up to my dealer 3 weeks ago, to see if he could fix one of them for the new apprentice to use. We don't give new saws to newbies, they are too hard on them at first. The dealer showed me the new MS462 that had just come in the door.. I was really impressed with...

I came across this video today. Sitting at home with a busted wrist gives me plenty of time to try to stave off cabin fever by cruising on Youtube. It struck me that these people think driving sidecar motorbikes in winter is something that makes you special. Shit, for the first many years I...

That was a very fine trip. We had clear, sunny weather the whole way, according to one of the officers on the ship, that happens once every 10 years. It was still chilly, especially once we got up into the arctic sea. The ship was big enough that I didn't feel too crowded and the food was...

The hinges of my old Coleman Steel belted cooler that I bought in California in 1989 broke. Since I can't get one like it over here and use it a LOT, I'd like to repair it. Here is the problem: Coleman has replacement hinges for only $2.65 , but their internet shop isn't set up to deal with...

A friend showed me these today. They are absolutely brilliant for those of us who due to old(ish) age need reading glasses, but keep forgetting to bring them with us for shopping etc. Just thought I'd pass the idea on, after trying his, I've already ordered some. http://www.thinoptics.com/

Get your 22-250 out and obliterate it at a safe distance would be my advice. I hate fish.
