    Nice small log old growth Fir. The road is through 40 year old second growth but was used by a helicopter to land old growth fir from much higher up on the mountain.

    Great pics Woodwidow ... thanks for taking us along. As usual Allan, your op is just so slick. Stop, CSS (cut, split & stuff) in the pickup and then deliver... :yes:

    The reason I take the pics is so that I am not in them!! Besides Campinspecter does most of the work.

    Awesome! Thank you for the videos! Is that home built? I have never seen such a machine. I can hear the log begging as it is pulled to its doom! Haha

    That is a slick setup. The hoist capability is very nice as well. I have some years left, but I sometimes wonder how I will physically be able to keep going in my later years. Proof right there that youth and enthusiasm is no match for age and cunning!

    I can only hope that I turn out to be as durable as that splitter!
