If you had a short lead on the nose cone with a connector to the long rope you would only have to unhook it put it on the other side of the obstruction and hook back up.It would save some time and energy.
Eric, I think the spike is due to the honesty of the errors, the tenacity of the operator, and the simple fact I was both laughing and empathizing at the same time. Our bodies may get old, but the spirit to accomplish never seems to decrease. Last time my saw got pinched, I unhooked both the saw and chain, put on my spare bar, and recut the log to free up everything. Less struggle!!!
Didn't think of switching to another bar and chain. I have two saws now, three counting the one that quit running, so grabbing another saw will be easy.
I've been thinking about the speed of the log in the cone. Maybe it's good for it to wrap the rope around a tree or two so it doesn't end up in someone else's yard farther down the mountain.
I did something similar for the lighter logs like cedar I elevate the log on a arm secured to the rear atv rack and it drags it really well keeping 99% out of the dirt, much faster then using my tractor and winch. This wouldn’t be safe on such a steep hill such as his.
The struggle is real, this is just how I work, constantly breaking and fixing stuff.
Keep up the great work
Up side is, we never run out of things to do.

Good idea, Ron. Wonder why I didn't think of that.

Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you. I'm trying to overcome my perfectionist nature and edit with less precision so I can get them out more often.
I feel the same way. I’m 58 and hope I’m the same when I am his age. How old are you
OOT if I might ask?
@@billrichardsjr Calendar says I'll be 80 this year.
Wow, that log took off like a missile,
That was a fun video to watch,just wish the 4 wheeler would have been a easier fix. Thanks for the great video

Your tree cutting looks like mine. A world of well made plans, just falling apart. Saw getting pinched. Aggravations galore.
Yeah, but, all in all, it's a lot of fun.
Made myself a log dog to hook behind the for wheeler, but looks like you’re to steep to use your atv, older we get the tougher it gets lol.

Try to stay safe!
You should invest in a logging arch.
Lots of folks suggest that, Jason, but the only place I could use on is in my driveway.
This made me nervous.
This is one of my calmer adventures. No bloodshed and only minimal risk of injury.
