Advanced Ninja Logging Technique

  • Опубликовано: 17 сен 2023
  • Here is an advanced logging technique that you should know if you do any log skidding or yarding. I had a log that was too far to reach with my line. Here is a technique to reach out past your bull line. This is small scale logging using a Ford F250 as a log yarder and log skidder. I am salvaging blow down trees on my forest land. I don’t have my Woodmizer LT15 here. It is far away on another property. So I am cutting these logs into firewood.

      Truth. You know there was this crazy ass evangelical tv preacher back in the 90s that went on and on about the powers that be trying to replace religion with professional sports. It was ridiculed in his day but when I see how obsessed some grown men are about “their team” I just think it’s silly and that MAYBE, just maybe he was on to something. I have way too much shit around my house and my mothers house that needs to be done than to sit around watching grown ass men throw a ball around.

    Well played, sir.
    That 'roller' under the monster log, (5:00 mark) is exactly how I move all my larger, (9" diameter and greater) logs by hand. Lever the nose of the log up, set a series of 3" diameter rollers under and all you need to do is overcome the deadweight inertia. Not easy, but do-able, once it's moving. The hard part is replacing the rollers before the front of the log noses down or you have to begin again.
    (This isn't my original idea -- I believe this is how archaeologists have shown the big Sarsen stones were moved to build Stonehenge.)
    'Course, you have all those slick blocks and rigging, and an F250 for the real monsters.

      @WilsonForestLands  11 месяцев назад +1

      That roller actually wasn’t put there to be a roller. It was for the log to lay down on to make it easier to put the choker underneath. It just worked out as a roller too.

    Very well done! I put a car engine head bolt (very hard) through the eye of the shackle pin. The bolt is about 3/8" diameter and 5" long. I double nut it so it it won't come out. I can tighten the pin and the hard bolt takes any abuse my Norse 400, 9000lb winch can give it.
    Another thing that I did was to weld a washer vertically on the snatch block pin and loop a small braided steel cable through it and crimp closed the loop. I left about 7 inches of the small braided cable and fastened the end to the block body. Never lost a pin since.

    Reminds me of harvesting OG windfalls in Washington back in the early 90's, I've never personally dropped the ball - but I knew it was a hairy and scary step to yarding the big stuff. With the spotted owl concerns, windfalls were the new 'gold'. Loved the piggybacking with the smaller log - that's something I can put to use - thanks!

    Is there a density level/ number of trees per acre you aim for to maximize timber growth and reduce fire risk?
    I missed my calling, wishing I could log and run a mill. Kinda envious .

    • @WilsonForestLands
      @WilsonForestLands  10 месяцев назад +3

      On this cool damp coastal property, fire is not a big risk. On this property sometimes it’s better to have the trees grow closer together to slow them down so they are less appealing for the bears to kill them. The faster growing the trees are, the more likely the bears are to kill them. On my inland property where I will be going back to soon, fire is a huge concern. So are borers and bark beetles. In that case I am trying to thin them out to a healthy spacing. To come up with a set spacing or number of trees per acre is useful in cases where foresters are trying to communicate to those doing the work. In my case I am the Forrester and I’m doing the work so I don’t have any set numbers I use. It varies greatly with site, species, aspect, age, slope, future harvest plans, susceptibility to sunscald, windthrow, thinning shock, etc. My thinning is custom tailored to each individual site and the trees that are there. Hopefully that wasn’t too obnoxious of an answer.

  • @thedevilinthecircuit1414
    @thedevilinthecircuit1414 28 дней назад

    The energy stored in a downed tree is just as hazardous as when falling. A pal of mine was killed while grubbing out a downed tree following Hurricane Sandy; he cut the root ball off and the trunk mousetrapped him. By the time his wife found him he was gone. Be careful doing this stuff.

    • @WilsonForestLands

      I don’t have a mill at my coast property where that was. At that time people weren’t buying much fir lumber, especially in that area. Especially grand fir when Douglas fir is so abundant in the area. Firewood prices in that area are high so it made more sense to make firewood.
