    Cutting bushel is hard!

    I hate falling eucs but these aren’t so bad. We have been smoking this job and may only have another week or so until it’s done. The company owner is hoping they just add another spot after seeing how quick we got through it.

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    Aloha, just checking in to say what’s up and happy new year. Katelyn and I have been asked to fell eucs on a utility job. It’s been a pretty cool experience so far. 40 year old trees that’s are around 130 to 170 ft tall. Barely any meat on the butt biggest I’ve cut so far was just under 32...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    Don’t feel that way at all Jer! No double jacking for us unless one of us strips out and we don’t want to pack into a new one yet. She thinks the world of ya and as do I. Like I said you gotta watch her make a stump. She’s an artist and could sell them at a home decor store 😂. I think we will...

    Katelyn is one bad lady, I admire her and how good she is with a saw. Her work ethic is unheard of too haha. She has gotten the nickname hardcore over the years.

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    I always try to take the high road and strive to do all things right. I’ve only traded trees if it’s got me so messed up I have no other choice or that forester was so stoned that they gave me an impossible task. I’ve been trading for equal size or a bit smaller so I didn’t seem like I’m just...

    We actually bought your redwood book at a shop in the avenue of the giants. We brought it with and are actually going to ride bikes around then today. The map is handy and we will be sure to explore some more. I know I said I’d call here in a few days and I will. Finally getting settled and...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    I didn’t realize how hard and stupid this clumps actually are. I keep thinking about packing my jacks down but my hike is an hour long and about a mile of steep broken brushy ground. Dropping down into it would be the worst. We are using ropes to help get in there. As Sureshot Turcott says”...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    God dang you are right. All of my mentors in cutting were bushelers and told me I would do good. They said it will take a bit but don’t get discouraged and it’s the luck of the draw on who goes where or who shows up first. I’m going to give it 110 percent. I know it will get better and I’m...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    We’ll I should be done with my two bad strips, I’m just trying to prove myself and show my worth. It’s hard for climbers to break into the timber industry. All the old timers love us so we will just keep learning and working our birds off. I’ll tell ya though, these redwoods on the steep ground...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    Mad respect to anyone on here who has cut bushel on the coast. Holy cow I’m smoked and I only cut 5,000 boards. I took it slow being the first day, I know I’ll get faster just trying to figure the reds and nasty ground out. Who knew the coast was steep 😂 hour and something hike in with ropes and...
