Here in Canada they use a feller buncher. Cuts tree. Strips tree. Cuts to length and places in pile. It’s basically the same machine but with a rotating head and saw to initially grab and cut the tree. It eliminates the guy with the saw. Hillsides are obviously different equipment.

@Canuck014 Жыл бұрын

Cool work Jake, looks a lot like south central British Columbia and Eastern Washington. When pine trees drop their needles they draw the nutrients out of them first, this makes them acidic and that’s one of the reasons for less underbrush. Other factors come into to play also. Too long to go into detail though. Also enjoy your content and tell Gordie that it’s a time he started making Husqvarna stuff, lol. Ray

My husband, my father in law and grandfather in law, were all loggers up here in Northern Az . My father in law for 40 years, he was a supervisor for Southwest Forest Ind.They also had their own logging called Merchant Timber Fallers.. His grandad was from Arkansas and moved to Williams when Sagainaw- Manistee opened a sawmill there, he was a blacksmith and had made the chokers among other things in the 30' 40&50's..Here in Arizona, we have the largest stand of Ponderosa Pine in the world, never heard of black pine. Sadly at the end of the 1980's the Serra club pushed to shut down all our forrests, because they said the spotted ouw nested in the Ponderosa and were on the endangered list. So all our Forrest that had been groomed and kept up were left to sit. In 2002 we had the Rodeo- Chediski fire, then the Willow fire that needlesly burned hundreds of thousands of beautiful forests we won't see again in our lifetime. Oh and it turned out the spotted owl, was the Mexican spotted owl and they prefer nesting in buildings instead of trees! There aren't ant huge ponderosa as there once were, seems the small pulp wood ones need thinned out to me. The little ones get in clusters and compete for water, plus the scrubby oak is in with a lot of younger ones. Those new machines that take the branches and brush off the trees once you fall them ars so nice to have. So many cut their feet, toes off the old way. My husband ran the old ambulance and had to put the toes on ice rush them into the Flagstaff Hospital. It's still a dangerous profession, but not as bad. They lived in thr logging camps as well. If you ever want to hear about the old ways. We have a page called " Northern Arizona Logging a bygone era.."

As you home school, I suggest taking your children to Flagstaff. We camped there in 1981 and found lots of educational places to visit. I imagine you saw San Francisco Peaks which tower over the city. They are an old range of volcanoes. We also went up a dormant volcano on an old school bus. Within driving distance south, are Montazuma’s Castle and Montazuma’s Well which are old native settlements and agricultural farms. Also to the east are the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest. We spent a few days there and learned lots. 🇨🇦

Jake, Elevation can get you. Back in '69 I went on an 8 day backpack trip in California's High Sierras , The Mono Lake recesses at 9 to 12 Plus K feet. I was fairly acclimated, but it still took a couple of days at altitude to get used to it! Coming from our flatlands here in Northern, WA right to high Arizona and ,fit or not, lumbering has got to feel bad. I had the same problem at Long's Peak in Colorado, I was huffing and puffing from around 9 to 12K climbing the cable trail. You got to give yourself a few days to acclimate . Cheers, Rik Spector

Colorado Springs elevation is a little over 6k’ and it would take me about a week or so to get used to the thinner, drier air. Less greenery, more brown. You also need to keep drinking fluids so headaches don’t settle in. I always had a bottle of water or a glass of tea in my hand. So glad I moved away. I never thought about the higher elevation affecting the chainsaw motors!

Huge this place was. that fire burned it down, went across I 40 thru flagstaff and on the west side. turned trees to ash, soil to glass and burned the entire stretch of 40 from all maps.. they rebuilt that place, moved it north more. So Jake you must travel more in the mtns there...

Jake- you are a professional, and I know that you can answer a question that I have pondered for a while…..why is the notch so shallow, I have cut trees more than half way, and go to the back and cut, the trees fall down. Y’all cut around a third, go to the back, and hammer wedges. If you are fighting a hard lean, and you know that it will not go where you want it, then that would make sense. But straight trees? I don’t get it. Please advise…😊. Also, I spent my formative years in the Phoenix area…the desert is beautiful just after a rain (seldom rains, cuz it’s the desert) the flowers are all kinds of colors and it’s absolutely stunning! But in my area, we have mesquite trees. Scrawny tangled things that have fir type of leaves and hard as anything you have ever come across. Good thing is that they are small. Bad thing is that they are small, and the wood is beautiful, hard, and really rare (and expensive if someone has taken the time to mill it). I have followed you since the huge church tree that you craned. You don’t let dust grow on your gear! And Gordy is a National Treasure! 😅 😊

If I may, two things you do to slow your exit plan. First, you are cutting sooo close to the ground that when you are finishing the back cut you are kneeling and almost sitting. Second, you are leaving your saw in the cut as you’re hammering in your wedge and about to fell the tree. As the tree starts to go you have to bend down to retrieve your saw. Both of these things slow down your retreat and increase the chance of a misstep and potential tumble. It’s not so perilous here but if you take those habits back to hilly ground, for instance, or other larger species time can become more critical.
