Is that Cody there? Welcome to arbtalk dude

By god, it sure is. I stumbled across this post and noticed that me and my pard were getting bashed, and I just couldn't keep my pie hole shut.

Regardless of the right or wrongness of the event you've got to admit that the saw work and just the big felling knowledge on that video is top notch.

 

I don't know the details of the job but i expect it was a case of if these lads hadn't done it someone else would have. I know I've felled countless trees that had great biodiversity value but someone had said their day was done.... We just have to hope that the logs went to build a house and really high end stuff that will be around for a very long time and be cherished. Pity if it ended up the timber isle of home depot.

Agreed. Good post mate

It must have been a total mare in the old days of axe, handsaw and wedges!

Symbiosis, of benefit to both participants.

 

Or are trees just weeds to be harvested Greystoke?

Weeds? Really? I am guessing that you benefit from the harvest of trees. You have to respect how they can frame a home, give you decking material, or any number of construction projects, as well as paper to write on, or to wipe your butt. I definitely do not see them as a weed. And it does not stop there. I see them as a renewable resource that we need to take care of and cultivate, and harvest when the time comes, and make room for new ones to grow. I am sick of seeing them go up in smoke by devestating wildfires, and destroying everything.
