Bump... 15 years ago this thread kicked off; who woulda thunk we'd still be here.

When you are right there close when a truly big tree hits the ground solidly, it is nearly beyond description. The earth actually trembles, your chest vibrates, your legs feel the resonation deep and longer than seems rational. Then the cursory stuff comes to bear...limbs large and small fall...

Bump...one of the best threads in the 'House over the years imo, as more than a few of our members have said. Ran across is by accident in a search I ran for an unrelated subject, but I sure enjoyed a re-read. Hard to believe it was 2015 the last time it was refreshed, or even harder that it...

You are too kind, Jim. Thanks :). I'm bumping a few as we post.

Could do that, I suppose. If y'all want, I'd look back through the archives for some of those Stig mentioned. Might find another few that are similarly valuable, though of course you'd have ultimate choice on their worthiness, Butch.

Ought to move the bump to the Lounge forum, I guess.

True, my friend...just a little while ago, seems like. Maybe we ought to bump THAT thread :).

It's hard to believe this thread is something like 7 years old.

This is a pretty good one, if I do say so myself. Ranged from big tree/saw felling techniques, to USFS contracting issues, to natural resource management practices, and more. Bumped a few times over the years since started, and took off on another run each time. Worth a read through from...

Thanks a ton, Gary. You are more than kind. Better quit just posting a smilie, eh? :D

That's a very generous post, Randy. You encourage me to continue, my not so young friend :P. ;)

Good point, Jay. Must be holding on to past glory days, I suppose.

Thanks, Justin.

Any sawyer worth the name would miss that part of the job, and I miss being able to make regular contributions to the threads on current work like I used to be able to do. I also miss being a climbing instructor, that always was fun, so much so that they ought to have charged me rather than...

That was a great time, having you here for the climbing instructor's workshop and to visit, Pete. You made a big impression on a bunch of those instructors...particularly the APHIS guys, your name comes up every year since. Sometimes even in a positive way :P. ;)

Yessir. For the most part, people get it about hazard trees. A few wanted to quibble about the definition of one, though.

It does stand out in a faller's portfolio to have a few in that range on the tally sheet :).

Yeah...a tree like that would flatten a station wagon full of family like a beer can under a crummy tire. I was mostly answering for the newbies who may not have seen the whole thread...I knew you were in the loop. ;)

Only removed as a hazard to a heavily traveled through route on the NF, Jerry. And I do sometimes get a complaint or two.
