Tractor Logging with a Winch V

Salvaging a dead but solid fir for stud wood. I would have liked to put it where the big boulders are but was afraid of breakage. I could have laid it in the road but then would have a mess to clean up. Those hard sharp branches can be hard on tires. So I decided to lay it against the pine behind it. It was at a rather steep angle so I needed plenty of wedge under it to keep from pinching the saw when I cut it off. And I needed to make sure it was completely separated from the stump and the choker as low as possible to minimize the risk of pulling the top over over towards me which can happen easily if the butt gets stuck on the stump or the butt digs into the ground or gets caught on a root. Using a snatch blocks helps keep me out of the danger zone.
