Thanks! I'd be happy to offer advice/consulting/coaching/etc to anyone here for anything chainsaw related. Just reach out.

Happy New Year everyone!! I guess I should chime in with health update. Arthroscopic knee surgery happened on Nov 13 and went smoothly. I'm now 2 months post-op and things are coming back together, albeit slowly. (Healing takes so much longer at this age, unfortunately). My knee still gets...

I received this report for this small blowdown on Orange. The image for its location didn't transmit to me. So I've asked him to resend. I'll update this once I get the pin.. The written description was as follows: On the image of the trail map. The tree is at marker 1. Marker 2 is where...

Today I cleared 2 near Vistar. The mess on Trestle. 2 on Middle maze. One on the (lower) NICA trail which was reported to me by passing bikers. And the big two headed monster on Tally Ho.. See red waypoints on attachments. Thanks for all of the great intel. And that's a wrap for...

Please be advised that I’ll be on a Chainsawing/Mt. biking hiatus for month or two. I’m having an orthoscopic knee procedure on Thursday Nov 13. Asking all the chainsaw fairies to step it up in my absence. For everyone else, do what you can with your hand saws. Thanks!!

@jdog I just wanted to be certain.... Was the red dot in the area of where you saw the blockage? It would make sense that it was because I think that's where the bulldozed piles of mulch might be. I wanted to be certain it wasn't the top of the actual trail called "under the mulch"...

I revisited this today and found it to be all clear... I did cut one small branch right at the intersection, but it was so small that I wondered if it was the reportable item? Nearby was fresh evidence of a larger branch that had broken in such a way that some passing hikers may have...

Today, the blockages on Hally Toe, Tally Ho and the upper pink connector (marked by the red waypoints) have all been cleared. Thanks for all of the excellent intel.

@Teutonic & I cut out the big Oak by the lake, that @FrankR , @de00304 and @Robin all referenced. That was a lot of work, took us maybe an hour and half. We looked at the long length of the half-split trunk that had potential to be a skinny. A fair amount of additional work needed to tie...

If somebody's passing by this, can you verify if it's still there. These small hand-sawable blowdowns in high traffic areas have a habit of vanishing on their own. Would rather focus on bigger issues if I can. Thanks!

Thanks for the intel. I think the small saw will do. Pardon delays though, my knee is fighting with me badly these days....I can do short missions, but I pay the price. The other sawyers are aware of the situation.

I got these two targets today, and a few other tune ups. The before/after pics corresponds to the blue circled waypoint (@Robin post #941). The knee not cooperating so I had to stand down on the others nearby...
