Woodcutting and Cable Skidding before the snow
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
It's crunch time! Skidding a new trail and trying to get the last marked trees out before the snow. Fast is better than slow right now, so once again I find myself the observer/narrator. I really do learn a lot by watching others work, and I hope you do too! ► MY SOCIAL MEDIA • Instagram:@therealsarahcatherine ► MY WOODCUTTING EQUIPMENT*: • Helmet: Kask, Superplasma HD - amzn.to/3EVGOgA • Earmu...

    I wondered if you had heard of a pneumatic air launcher where you can more or lessfor sending the ‘feed line’ without all the exertion of throwing at just the right time, also accurately to save exhausting yourself before you have done the job! Well done on getting your workspace clear up!

    Welcome back Sarah. I’m a weekend warrior on my wood lot so I don’t have any recommendations on an upgrade to your forwarder. The tracks would be nice to lessen damage to trails and forest openings.

    I cheat a little, I put a ladder in he bucket on the backhoe then raise the bucket high with ladder. To put my step around the tree. Then get down me and add more strap or chain to anchor to the bottom of another tree and use a come along.

    Rubber tire Forwarder. In Wisconsin, USA we used 4 wheel forwarders, they can load / unload truck's / trailers. Smaller turning radius, and a "bunk" that holds @ 2 cord of pulp / logs'. Get chains / "tracks" for Icey conditions. Or 6x6 forwarder to carry more wood out, also with chains on front, "tracks" on back. They been doing that since late 1960's. Just a thought.

  • @terryhale9006

    Sarah, Congratulations on your nicely produced video. When I saw the narrow crotch that was really the only one available for you to aim at, I was cringing. I thought it would take you at least 8 attempts to hit it. Congratulations on hitting it in only 7. The other concern for such narrow crotches is that they may not like to let the rope end pass through them. One minor suggestion: rather than using a bowline to hoist a noose around a branch, simply tie the end of your rigging line around the trunk of the tree, making sure to keep the end out of where you will be cutting. When you tie the rope around the branch, your rope is going to stay there until you get the tree down. Normally, this will not be a concern. However, I had one occasion where I had to leave my work before I could fell the tree and had to leave my rope there for what turned out to be several days. If I had the rope tied around the trunk, it would have been an easy matter to untie it and take the rope in less than a minute. Throughout your video, I was pleased that you pointed out each of your bits of acquired wisdom as they came to you. I was concerned about where you left your saw and was glad you picked up on that issue. As a minor safety issue, you had plenty of extra rope, so you could have easily moved your winching station twenty feet down the road. You set up at a point that was within the fall length of the trunk. While it is rare, it is possible for a tree to fall well off course, even if you have done everything correctly, as you did. I was once winching down a large pine which fell 70 degrees off line. Though I spent 20 minutes investigating the cause, I could not find any reason for that very odd fall.

    @Steadfastly7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You learned a lot in doing this so good for you. I take it this was just a learning process and not the way to do things quickly as you could have cut that little tree and let it fall any which way and then simply hauled it out or cut it up or both.

You are saying prussic but it looks like a klemheist you were using to attach your 20 ft line. Also learn the proper way to use your equipment before hand so someone doesnt get hurt following your directions

    Nice to see a young woman who is not afraid to tackle this kind of work. But... you should NEVER turn your back on a tree in such a situation where you are in the fall zone... let alone be on your knees during it! You should have been on the other side of the tree where you could keep your eye on it and used the anchor tree to help shied you in the worst case. I think that's the biggest mistake you made as it's the most dangerous to your safety.
