    It's neat to watch your father have a measured look as he stands in his office planning his work load; where the tree needs to fall, trimming the branches up so that when you mill the logs there is as little extra work or potential to cause you extra work, and even cutting the logs to length--making the cuts only as deep on each side as they need to and using the Skidder to complete the break on the logs.
    Pretty cool.

    Back in the "Good Ole Days", (around 1950) my dad sold the timber from our property in Southern Georgia. A circular saw mill was setup on site. Only the lumber was hauled out and the slabs and mountain of sawdust was left behind. The skidder was a mule that could drag just one cut of one log at a time. I was very impressed that the mule could drag the logs without being guided by a person. Each morning one of the loggers would lead the mule out from the sawmill to where the trees were being cut down. A log would be hitched to to the mule's harness and with a pat on the mules rump, he would head back to the sawmill, dragging the log along behind.
    Back at the mill, another worker would unhitch the log and turn the mule around. Another pat on his rump and the mule would head back into the woods for another load.

    I'm seriously impressed. I've cut trees on my property when necessary but what "The Boss" does is an art. The care to the cut, the measuring to ensure that maximum value is achieved from the tree and the use of the skidder to bring out three huge pieces at one time, saving energy and expense all of this deserves a huge round of applause ( let's also remember he does this daily ) 👏👏👏

    Good example of responsible, sustainable timber harvest. Most if not all of the logs in that pull were standing dead. If you weren't in the firewood business that would have all been left in the woods. Because you collect it and process for firewood the property owner has a neater forest, the canopy is opened up so young trees can takeoff and the small bits you leave behind will compost and enrich the soil in short order. Thank you for your respecting PA Wilds 😊

    How many sq miles of Forrest do you need to keep up a lumber yard ? You log for a land owner, but trees grow just so fast.
