Old son...there never ever has been any one log length preferred by any logger, because every logger cuts to the log length required by the mill accepting the logs. And that changes not just from month to month, or week to week...it could change day to day. Don't pretend to know about things...

Eidetic memory??? ;) Not really, though I do have a pretty good memory of SOME things (do not ask my beloved Ms. M about the rest, please :)) The search function is really the answer, Austin. If I can recall a term or two, I can often find a thread or post that pertains.

You can squeeze a 100' Spencer tape into a 75' body. That was my stand exam tape setup, once I got some experience... The chain length (66') and rod length (16.5'), are not really useful in today's world.

Way stupid oversimplification, regarding log length, sir. You clearly do not know what you do not know, about this subject :).

Spencer was the standard in my decades with the USFS. I liked the 75 footer for stand exams, but all the other jobs I was up for, the 50 footer was the best choice, mostly because it was lighter to carry on my belt all day. I had both, selected as was needed for the task at hand, day to day...
