not raining now, we got a little over an inch is all. no clue what went on in OC, it could wash away and id be happy.
on pine that size i would go half, but understand i have never cut out there, idk how that fiber acts.
Good to hear you made it through!
Judging by the pics I’ve seen for the last few years all west coast fiber pulls like hatchet dropstarting a husky 585.
The greedy heepin' Hoosier Humdinger load of far'wood is stihl sunning....
raining again. its a light mist though. i guess its gonna do this for days.
Yup..
Germany spent about 2 trillion for “green tech” in a place where the sun don’t shine much and the wind don’t blow much..
Then buy lotsa NG from Russia on the cheap..
Trump warned them about 4 years ago, and caught a bunch of flack for “being rude”..
Guess they gonna be burning a lot of that shitty coal they got.. maybe WV can ramp up and sell em some good stuff, but I doubt it would be much in the short term..
idiots all over the world will have to go hungry and cold before they learn the simple truths we already know. i cant imagine being that dumb but........
Makes sense that the closer ya are to center, the less force it takes to tip.
If there was any back lean at all, 1/3 deep would make you have to lift the weight of the entire tree almost to get it past center.
The polish government been doing everything they can to get away from dependence on Russian fuel for the last few years. Seems they took heed.. but I don’t know how far they got down that path. I would read up on it, but most of the people that write the articles are fucking morons. And would rather call the Polish people a bunch of fascists then actually observe an honest outcome.
They let them return but somehow he tore his hip up when they evacuated
But there was no damage to any homes there.
yes, its about leverage. when i tried the shallow face thing i found out fast you dont have enough leverage to tip a heavy stick. its for falling with the lean, and i have to gut the center or it may crack. unless its pecker poles or i have to maximize length, i almost always do steep and deep. swing cuts may change things a little, but thats a whole different discussion.
oh, he could try the block face, i find that works well for wedging or pulling. i still do half with that.
On second growth or old growth doug yes, cedar the bark is like hair I don’t think I’ve ever shaved the bark on it.
That’ll depend on the stem, cedar has a very very weak hinge it’s not hard to pop one off the stump if it’s not done correctly.
The last one was a back leaner that almost popped off the stump with the jack in the back.
does the hinge hold good on that stuff? its so dry here the pine wont hold for long. normal years it will hold for half the fall. glad i didnt have to swing many in this tract.
haha you just answered my question before ya read it
one thing you guys should understand, its really hard for us to make suggestions not being there. really every stick is different.
