forgive my ignorance but why is it going? nothing in the picture is even close to it in size. Aside from the question, DAAAANG. Do I see fire evidence?
This tree (not the largest on the job), as well as about 30 others on this job, where completely nuked in the CZU Fire. This was a FIMA site so we were simply removing trees marked by the state, making it safe for the land owners to return and commence to rebuilding their homes and lives...It is hard to comprehend just how hot certain areas of this fire got, but these trees were literally petrified in a matter of moments. Putting a saw in some of them was like cutting a coke bottle, and climbing them was nothing but fun.
Bucking some mill logs on this job. I would be remiss if I didn't point out the sad-faced Stihl fanboy pacing behind me as me and my trusty Madsen's 395 free him up...Again!

Thanks for quick explanation, and true.. I really can't imagine. But more than that... Thanks for nor being remiss! HA! Real chuckles.

I decided to stay clear of the treacherous sand-fill and work on this tree surrounded by grass.
Before......................................................................... After
There's a bunch on the ground, but it's just a fraction of the stuff I couldn't get to for lack of a decent TIP.
It's starting to look like an exercise in futility.

Made a rare evening climb on this gum getting rid of suckers and vines.
Almost all the remaining vines are hanging from the overgrown sucker on the left of the trunk. I'll make a climb with the chainsaw to get it and some other large suckers.

I think this one's looking a lot better...
with all this gone. I piled up the stuff from last evening on the left before climbing this morning.
