Spent the morning bucking up fir logs and dismantling this mess. Our woods, to the best of my knowledge, were logged in the 50's then allowed to grow back w/o any management... the result is a mixed lot of hardwoods and softwoods, the variety and size of which we love (lots of white oak, ash, maple, fir, pine, etc) and there's some huge trees out there... but the understory hardwoods (mostly cascara and wild chestnut and a few others) have reached a climax of sorts and are starting to fall over in places. This was one of those places. It's very strenuous and not a little dangerous taking something like this apart! There's a lot of pent up energy in those bent trunks and you gotta be smart about how you sequence it. I am, of course, not smart so that makes it extra-sporty.

For scale, the biggest of those leaners is about 14" at the base but most are 6" -8".

Anyway... 3 tanks of gas burned in the Husky, still got all my body parts, didn't squash my dogs, I'm done for the day.
