    Looks familiar and is middle elevation looks to be between 4 thousand and 5,500 feet. Growing up I watched dad my uncle and gramps fall lots of these white fir tall skinny trees that in most cases busted apart on impact .Even though they were green they where rotten inside it’s why they have a more colorful name to those of us that where in the logging industry. Nice yellow/ ponderosa pine at the end. Nice hearing those big sthils too along with the trees hitting the ground. My family logged the Eldorado county area of Northern California mostly the iron mountain area for you flatlanders its now called the Mormon immigrant trail area

  • @Mudpuppyjunior
    @Mudpuppyjunior 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love all the armchair pros in the comments criticizing his technique or his saw or telling everyone what tree is what. I'm sure if I read far enough someone has complained his backcuts are not precisely 2.5 inches above the undercut and he didn't use his tweezers to clean any tiny dutchmen out of the hinge.
    I logged and owned timberland in this area for 30 years. That guy is doing exactly what I want a faller to do. His stumps are low and his backcut is on plane with his face cut so he doesn't have to waste time trimming the log nor does the landing man. He's generally trying to put the trees in the best spot but he isn't spending all day using sticks and tapes and calculators trying to hit a perfect spot; he's knocking frickin trees over nice and fast just as he's paid to and if a few get crunched in the process; they make logs too. That is real, production falling* done the way real loggers want it done.
    *Waiting for the armchair pro to correct me and tell me it's "felling". Yes. It is. Nobody in the real world of logging cares, only guys in armchairs.

    I pride myself in never destroying small timber in the process of cutting the big timber. I don't like for my butts to pull out at all.

    • @GAIS414
      @GAIS414 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's usually how the land owner and forest companies want it too. Here in Sweden it's considered unprofessional to waste timber like that. If you keep felling big on small for no good reason you will be out of a job very quickly.

    • @yearginclarke
      @yearginclarke 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on what the skidding crew does also. You could fall it as perfectly as possible, but then a cat or skidder could fowl up the smaller trees in the process of skidding it out. I say this because I run skidder and do my best to not destroy the smaller trees, but in some situations it's very hard not to. Sometimes unforeseen things like sliding around or something lands your machine in a place where you tear up some smaller trees. I know how to avoid this usually, but alot of guys don't or just don't care. Largely depends on the operator.

      you use the small timber to slow the big timber to the ground also if you cut the small timber and leave stumps the can slab the big stuff it will cost you big i worked the steep ground never got to work the flat ground like i see here.except when i put in my time in the rigging
      but we did pull in some big wood one was 12 ft by 12 ft 6inches by 26 ft long solid fir had 6 20 ft cuts before it went under 6 ft cheers boys you are under paid.

    • @TommySchuch
      @TommySchuch  5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Chris Wesney These are mainly “hazard” trees near roads that are on their way out, most of which are infected with bark beetles or parasitic bugs. I guess the idea is to use the wood before it goes bad and or falls on the road and kills somebody. I hear you though, watching a massive tree hit the ground is definitely a weird feeling considering how long it’s been there.

    Except that second tree you cut wasn’t a white fir or a piss fir, it was a Douglas-fir/red fir! I’ve cut timber for over 30 years & a Grand-fir is usually referred to as a piss fir, and some people even call Alpine fir piss fir, & grand fir & alpine fir are are both white fir, but at least the first 3 trees you cut were all red fir/Douglas fir, not white fir! Nice yellow pine at the end, but not sure why you dropped it into another tree though. Lol.

    • @TommySchuch

      I don't know where you've been cutting the last 30 years but it wasn't this area.
      I did log this area for 30 years and those are white firs. Around here the only tree called a piss fir is a white fir. The needles and bark clearly make these white firs and neither Doug firs of which there are not too many below Yosemite nor red firs which grow at a higher elevation and have a much rougher, reddish-brown bark.

      @@bristleconepinus2378 That saw would literary go through a bear, but bears will usually sneak behind you and cut you wide open before you have time to react. They run up to 35 mph or so and can even climb trees. Good luck if the chain saw jams and also good luck trying to climb a tree or having someone acting as a lookout since bears can take down 3 or 5 guys with ease specially grizzly bears or black bears which are a lot smaller but still pack heat.

      Yeah different altitude, humidity and barometric pressure = Different carb setting.
      If you do these longer cuts without preheating + keeping the saw running high for a bit pre/post cut and I guarantee you'll be sorry for it.
      These aren't just some small bushes gunking up the driveway of an average homeowner here.
      The saw has to run for an extended amount of time, so you have to run it to keep fuel & oil flowing through the engine and oil through the bar & chain, or either which one (or all 3) will seize up on you REAL fast.
      Motor rebuild is 3 days pay worth, that's 3 days of hard work, not just sitting at a computer making a powerpoint presentation.
      An Oregon/Sugihara/Tsumura bar of that size is 100-150 bucks and up, and a new chain (whether its from a loop or off the shelf) is about half that.
      So you want to take care of the equipment :)
