Well, we have had a couple moisture meters. Inevitably they get dead or replaced. Rob leaves things (as does Katy and kids) out and about. Why I hide my multimeters. One in each of three trucks.
But since Rob mills and we teach science in the kiddo curriculum, I need to put that on my list of things to do.

I can’t remember if I’ve noticed or tried 🤔 have you noticed if reaming works better top or bottom of the bar?

Got tension?

Haven’t figured out a trick for the first strip out of the rind besides a wedge.

Kinda, but they weee discussing tangled storm damage pile clearing…maybe handy there.
 
That worked a treat! Perfect split. Those guys did good.

Over my many years with the USFS, we called in an in-house certified blaster maybe 4 or 5 times to take down a hazard tree that I was not willing to take down with a saw. Ego forces me to say that most of those were on the earlier side of my time as the "sort of unofficially designated faller to call for really nasty trees" on my NF. I got both better and less spooked (or does that mean more accustomed to work that can get you killed too easy?) as the years went by, so less blasting was called for.

Anyway, it always was far less precise as to hitting a desired lay than I would have liked (read, not at all)...but no one had to be messing around at the stump much either...

"Confidence is the feeling you sometimes have before you fully understand the situation."

Somehow these two relate, it seems
