All these tracked lifts and cranes are so cool. Meanwhile, I spent all day climbing up and down a hillside all day winching brush. Not exactly the glory work!

Pouring rain the whole time of course. Must be a nice gig Dillion has sitting in his heated and A/C’d glass cab..

*Dillions actually one of my best friends if you can’t tell, real piece of shit that guy.

Dan , what type of rigging slings are hanging from the hook of the track crane the climber is setting? Round slings and a shackle?

I figured out how to double line speed with a pulley the other day…

Unfortunately, doubling the line speed usually involves pulling harder.

Whatever gets it done! I prefer to keep my overhead low and do it like you, at least for now.

Exactly that yes, it’s foolproof. I prefer rope slings but at a larger company like this with a language barrier between myself and some of the climbers I use the slings that I don’t have to explain how to use. I also have a set of chain slings that I sometimes like to throw on.

I feel you there. I sub out with my truck frequently and have encountered that issue myself.

Hell yeah…

Most of this will probably be held over the dump trailer or bin with forklift, cut into rounds, and delivered as camping firewood unsplit since it's smallish. I guess this is kinda the wrong forum for this...

Nah, I like it. I think it’s good stewardship. It could just lie and rot. Or you could give it another life. Utilize it and not waste. Rock on.

It would be going into a landfill. No bueno

I don’t know why there’s no greenwaste program here

Small solo no cleanup job today. Set a pull-line in a big grand fir snag from the ground, notched and used the truck winch to fell it where it needed to go, then shot a climb-line in an OG doug fir to remove a dead grand fir along side of it. Nice weather and views all day.
