On March 11th I did the same things I do on any other day. I get up, and get the woodstove going. I grab my coffee, and get ready for the day. I jump in the truck, find my bleep, and I'm loaded up and truckin'. I go to school, then down to HCTC. After school I find my bleed again, run home to get my saw and off to the woodlot I go.
Nate and I get all fuel up, and up in the woods we go for another eventful day. We are cutting on a hillside right now, and we cut down huge christmas trees pretty much, so you have to find areas where they are growing. So we are up on this hill droppin trees, and haulin em down the hill with our tractor. I am the one normally cutting them down, so I am usually pretty busy, and don't get to see the stuff Nate gets himself into with the tractor. This time though I watched him drive away, and I didn't see him make it around the corner. Then it was time to investigate as to why he didn't make it, and of course he was hung up. So I hopped up on the back, and rocked the old girl out of the hole.
After that we decided it was time for some of the big trees to be dropped, so I fired up my saw, and started cuttin away. Of course the tree didn't just fall where I wanted it to, it stayed straight up. Nate goes and gets the tractor, the cranks over to where the tree is teetering, slams the bucket into it, and sends it toppling over. Then we repeat this process with the next big one.
These videos show the scene of droppin the big trees from beggining to end.
