Tree felling vids

[sotc]

Hard on fishing

 

[BOTS]

Nice fell Stephen!!


Dang Willie you know fishing is the most important than working, right?

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

How is 32 bids in a week compared to par for your course, Willie, if not prying?

 

[sotc]

Lemme go see...

 

[sotc]

Looking pretty consistent the last month or so. Pretty full time bidding this time of year

 

[sawman]

get it while you can right?

 

[Jed]

Good luck Willie.

Gary: I loved that short little vid. That was sweet... good quality vid.

Been working on taking down a dead pine for a friend...

Great clip, Gary.

What's your setup on the spar? I THINK you've got your climbing line on the paw & your lanyard on the Ds...Does that give you the ability to rappel quickly?

Correct on set up...I put my PAW on the MCRS because I like the extra attachments points I get with it.

I should have taken my ring/ring false crotch up with me but forgot it. I winged it with the climb line around the spar. There were some slight "swells" below the climb line (where I had cut off limbs..."no stubs!!" per MB) and they served to keep my cambium saver above them as I descended. I kept the lanyard around the tree on the way down in case the climb line pulled down over the protrusions.

It did not so I got by without my ring/ring.

 

[Spellfeller]

Thanks for the clarification, Gary!

I thought I was looking at something slightly out of the ordinary. Now I know why!

 

[Grendel]

Nice dump Stephen! Did you have to do the cleanup? Epic.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Every needle.
Stem stayed though. Backed the chipper up to the limbs and filled the truck 3x

 

[Jed]

Dang. How many yards does it hold, Stephen?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Pickup, I can squeeze 4-5 with the box I have on it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Two loads of duff with that after the chips.

They muddled through that one without hurting anything..

Welcome to the House.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

The double-face cut with rope at 1:02 can work great for pretty vertical, hung trees, giving control and direction, though I usually put the face cuts on opposite sides of the tree.


Did he put on the chain brake and move it back to half-choke between cuts, or what?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The insanity never ends

Welcome to the House.

Haha, perfect performance assessment.

Often during these vids there is a change of feel, from "I'm playing at tree felling" to "shit is getting real" it's what keeps these guys alive a lot of the time.

 

[Grendel]

haha, we've all been there. That saw sounded ANGRY!

 

[stig]

I'm thinking Cryptomeria, not cedar ( Jay??)

Never seen the "simultaneous cutting from both sides" trick before.

[squisher]

There was some crazy looking pushing going on with those saws it seemed to me, espescially on that second tree. Cool vid and big pumpkin on that 1st tree.

 

[stig]

Yes, those saws weren't cutting too well.
I would have gone about that whole felling process differently, but they got them on the ground, so all is good.
