Thanks for the thorough explanation of the why’s and how’s of what you do. I think it’s great that the logging contractor gives you a topographical map with the yarding lines marked. It takes a lot of the guesswork out. Stay safe out there!
A friend told me one time that some trees are afflicted with reach rot. It's just too far to go get them. A question: Can you fall across a property line or a unit line, assuming the target tree is within the unit?
I typically can fall across a unit line as long as the same property owner owns the adjacent, but property lines are a hard No-go. And even when using ground outside of a unit, considerations need to be made that they can log the pieces without exiting equipment out of the unit. So mostly no, but we can use the ground a little if we are considerate of who owns it l, and how they're going to log
I assume the planning took years, as most private and public productive timberlands are on a harvest schedule. My part of it took a little less than a month with two cutters for the most part. It was a summer job and we had days we couldn't work due to heat and humidity, as well as upcanyon winds, and we had another pair come to help us for a few days. As for the logging, I'm not sure, I think they dropped their sky-car on this job and had to go into the shop and log some with an acme, so I think it took them a while, there was a lot of footage in this job.
I wouldn't say treacherous, but this job is dangerous. Just part of it. I thoroughly believe cutting contractors are underpaid all around, as the same with many professions right now.
@@timberfallingcouple Yeah, it’s “our” (lol) American dream turned on its ear; we’re overworked AND underpaid. Like I said: on its ear and upside down.

As an avid backpacker who nerds out over Green Trails maps, I loved this video. Thanks for explaining this process.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback and tuning in!
Really good vid. I could practically see the ground with you.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Interesting. Learned some stuff today. Thanks! 💪
Awesome, glad to hear it! Thanks for tuning in 👍🏼
Aw man I’m loving these informative vids. That map was really cool.
Glad to hear it!

Can you say how long it took to plan this project, how long your part of it took, and how long to get all the logs out and finish up?

Great explanation.
THAT looks to be a VERY treacherous work area. SURELY you 2 are decently compensated for it…surely. 😢

Are there any furry guys with large feet?
Absolutely not, must be hangin out with Santa clause and the Easter bunny.
