Vermeer looks impressive for such a small thing!!!
If I eve asked my guys to break out the block and tackle to pull a tree over by hand they'd look at me like I was crazy!

 

[Sgriff]

At least in my neck of the woods

I have been using the new Toro wide track here with Mike, it is a sweet machine. I keep wanting to cut logs in half and the guys just roll up and grab them like nothing.

drought+beetles?

Ya drought combined with overcrowding makes them weak for beetle.
Like wolves on caribou.

Environmentalists killed them.
It's a tree mans gold rush.
Woodpeckers will nostalgically chirp about these boom years centuries from now.

Hey, August! Serious question here, asked out of an ignorance of the background situation. When you say that "environmentalists killed them", I'm assuming that some policy they implemented had a negative effect on the trees you had to deal with in the video. Could you provide some background on this? It's a really interesting, big picture thing you're talking about here.

Thanks in advance for any answers you choose to provide.

It was a generalization. A somewhat bitter one from past experience. So called environmentalists hamper the management of forests (always wanting everything left alone) to the point that overcrowding helps the beetles, and wildfires, especially in a drought.
Screaming, "no don't cut anything" they set the forests up for massive destruction. Loggers, farmers, ranchers, hunters, fisherman, people who rely on the land, are often more in tune with it and are the real environmentalists.
A child needs boundaries and child rearing in order to be well-adjusted/productive/happy/respectful. They are meant to be managed.
So are forests. A tree needs to be pruned for its own good. So does a forest, especially in places prone to drought. In my opinion, misguided environmentalism is more destructive than even less than perfect forest management/harvesting/replanting. Big subject, I am speaking in general terms.

I don't understand that thinking, August. Forests have been around a lot longer than people.
