We filled my dad's truck with doug fir and mine with western hemlock today. This area must have got pounded with heavy snow over the winter. We've cut a few cords just from this one road, it looks like a couple other people have been cutting, and there's still lots of wood down within a mile of pavement.
campinspecter went out yesterday and got a load of hemlock from the side of the highway. There was so much that came down this winter. Some of it isn't accessible and it so hard to drive by and see it there.
I hit up a different road in the area today. A couple blockages had already been cut off the road but the road is still blocked a quarter mile up. Another load of hemlock for me.
Looks like you died and went to hoarders Heaven there. Kinda like where do i start. Seeing pictures of the woods up there i keep looking for a sasquatch. Any ever been sighted in your area? Would your pooch alert you? I enjoy seeing your 290 as well. Cut a lot of wood with mine and kinda miss it.
Great pictures. Love to see the varying terrain and equipment used to gather the BTU's. Good dog pictures too!
Looking at your loaded truck pictures, campinspecter thinks you have air bags in your truck as well. Nice looking load. Did you get that tree over leaning the road?
No air bags on my truck. I went a little heavy with a load of alder last week and had it sitting noticeably lower. After many years of hauling wood with this truck, I actually ordered a set of Timbren helper springs friday. The hemlock hanging over the road is still there. Cutting it down sounded fun but I left it.
It always is a bit of scramble to get up into the bush and find the root. Clearing a getaway path is always a chore. If the road isn't used much, next winter it may come down.
I loved my time in the PNW. But Sasquasch is actually me at night, around here wearing a ghillie suit while wearing PVS-14 night vision, cutting trees at night with an electric chainsaw.
