PNW laminated rot, overgrowth, hoarding, demo, GTG?

Obviously count me in.
But I have dibs on the caboose!

It’s legit for laminated unfortunately. I’m advocating for a redwood forest (joking… kinda)..

Could be a fun smash down.
 
As a kid it struck me how farms always had cars, buggies, wagons, old horse plows, tractors combines etc parked on the back 40 with overgrowth and saplings coming up through them. I guess the space was free and the residual value, robbing parts and materials and maybe sentimental value won out. Some stuff wasn't far from operating condition. Street rodders used to comb the countryside looking for cars to rebuild like deuce coupes, 57 chevs etc and then try to finagle the whole car for like $50 or so! Cars are all picked clean now.

Tractor collectors is a thing.

It doesn’t take very long before nature takes over. I’ve got two harrow drags I found when I was clearing some of my land that used to be farm. So I put them off to the side and ten years later I have to cut them out of a walnut tree if I wanted to reuse them.

There is obviously a story here that I don't know.... But I do know "what they say": a word is worth a thousand pictures


(wait, that's not what they say....but here I'm thinking that is exactly the right saying because I got the picture!)

The tree is up in the air. Why cut it down, piece it up, pick it up, rake it up? Just drop it on the trailer and drive away.

YouTube comments section freaked out and it went viral.

What will you skid/ load with?

Do you have a rough removal tree count? A dozen,
Dozens,
A half a dozen dozens?

Being on site depending on risk tolerance (and only a small fraction of the site) I’m thinking in the dozen plus range if not x2-3. That would probably be the edge of break even/profit point considering trucking.
