The file size for this video in it's original form was on the large side initially. I had to par it down a bit with speeding up the extraneous and reducing the quality So sorry there.
Filmed in the same unit as the Woods Tank, West Coast Logging (2 videos), and Massive 6' 2nd Growth Redwood vs Woods Tank and a BEAVERSLIDE, etc. were.
From the Fall of '19.
As stated, I had to go a little high (to the left ) to miss a couple of stumps. The best shot was about 75º off to the right and plowing through the smaller spruce on the right and into the swale. But, saving the white wood was part of the prescription, so it lives.
Volume was not super great. It was not overly tall and had a rot and a spike knot/marm at 80'. It started tapering pretty "goodly" from there as it went from 48" to 24" in 32'. The top chunk was even "worser". Volume loss was not that much and no leave trees were harmed in the killing of this one. In my defense, I save her out to the first break....
Lost the saw in a fling thing at the end of the second bucking run. And yah, I let her go since they make new saws everyday....
Itemizing the log lengths & individual volumes:
55" 16' for 2270 B.F.
48" x 51" 20' for 2340 B.F.
48" 20' for 2160 B.F.
48" 24' for 2590 B.F.
24" 32' for 810 B.F.
16' top log unscaled.
Total recovery 10,170 B.F. Scribner.
Not bad for the land owner.
This was a process and the GoPro ran out of bat before I finished this tree off which I regret. Such is life sometimes.
I am currently available for custom saw modifications. Please shoot me an email if you are interested.
