Falling and bucking a big Redwood ...up and over a hump.

This Redwood needed to be Jacked ...up and over a hump. I did not like the place i had to stand to cut it....the concern was that it might slide back...so I had a pretty good run to clear ...and afterwards I had to buck it on the humpy ground.

Dan, part of the reason you took that job was for the exercise and figuring out how to stay alive while doing so. You got it all on that tree. Good moves.

Yes...that's true Steve. This job keeps me engaged and the day usually goes by fast....as opposed to other jobs. When I was in my twenties I went and worked in a sawmill for a while...It was boring and extremely repetitive. The days seemed like years !!

I know driving trees with other trees is considered a safety violation in many places but do you ever do that instead of jacking? Nice buck you didn’t pull any wood or get pinched with that butt hanging in the air.

I had to go back to cutting solo for now. Times have been tough so far here in 2024...

Very interesting. It “appears” as though there’s many limbs left attached to that stem. Am I mistaken or is that a “normal” thing?

Those limbs will get knocked of when they get yarded to the landing and the ones that don’t will get taken care of by the processor

So apparently it’s a normal thing.

Looks like Bryan already answered the question...but I will just add a little more....yes its a normal thing to leave the limbs on and have the loggers take it from there. In some cases they have us full manufacture ( limb and buck out to a six inch top) But that is very rare these days with all the processors and high tech logging equipment used now.

Dragging that jack around all day has got to fatigue you. Do you want an ATV close by,??

@norcaltimberfaller1943 29 күн бұрын

Yes...dragging the Jack around gets old. Not every tree is a jack tree....so I just try to be strategic about it and put the Jack beside the next Jack tree....rather then moving it around more then needed. As far as ATVs ...yes we use them on some jobs if the access is bad....but on this job the roads are opened up and I have my pickup parked fairly close by....
