Not a big loss those Aspens fell. They were already reaching their age where they die anyways. As you say, better let the fir grow now. I would not go to synthetic, as it is even more susceptible to chafing. You have a lot of rocks you have to deal with on your land. We had a few good days for logging until this week... Happy New Year Glen!
Until (or unless) the cost of synthetic rope comes down, probably not an option anyway. But thanks for the input. I've heard conflicting opinions about its resistance to chafing. After a week well above freezing, looks like another 10+ days of very cold weather. Just ran over my wettest roads with my beater snowmobile to help freeze them in again. Thanks, Joe!
Good job Glen, if you don't already have one, I would suggest getting a snatch block is the way to go when moving logs sideways they are a big help I carry 2. JeffinMaine
I do have a self-releasing one. I've used it in some of my logging videos from last year. I use it a couple times in an upcoming video as well - corduroy road. Not complete yet so not sure if it'll be next week or the following. In this particular case there weren't any good positioned trees to anchor it to.
Ya that blows when break the line. Its to bad they dont make swedged line in that size like how my line skidder has. If was one size bigger and swedged down to 7/16 size as you have, it would make more strength having more wires in it.
Thank you for taking us with you. God bless you and your family.
Thanks for your comments! Been blessed many times over already!
Good morning, I like the way you manage your wood lot Steve from Nb
Thanks, my Canadian friend! I appreciate that.
the ground should be nice and froze now that we had below zero for a few days. great job.thankfully you didn't have the cable fling back at you.
Yes, conditions are much better now with a frozen ground. And I was lucky the cable didn't come near me!

@@timberterra I thought of that after i said it yes you do need an anchor tree or stump in the right spot.
I replaced my cable last spring. It had wires sticking out. You will be surprised how easy it pulls out with the new cable.
I'm looking forward to that! Thank you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR GLEN
Thanks. Hope yours is happy and fulfilling as well.
Happy new year to u and your family
Thanks and wishing the best for you and yours!
