It looks cool, but to much hassle.   :D

Not sure if this link will work, but have any of you seen this technique used? hanger slide It's not a youtube video, so I don't think it can be embedded here. Pretty cool idea, but the stump has to have a little height.
That's what I was referring to when I mentioned "tree on a rail" back in reply #13. It takes a bit to set up, but if you are hung up, don't have any equipment with you to pull the bottom out from under it, and need the log in one piece it can be a good option (sometimes you just can't get it to roll out of the tree in which it's stuck).

Too much hassle? well, yeah. If you don't want the hassle, don't get the tree hung up in the first place. "Stuff" happens, however, and it can be a handy tool when other options won't work or aren't available.

You getting old John ? 8)
My first aircraft was the school plane an Aeronca Champ ( in another life at Amherst ).
It was neat to solo in and get my private. They rolled the dirt runway in winter for skiis. No cabin heat so you froze your little &%$#@ off.
I recall that in overcast it was a bear to "find the ground" on the snow landing field, bouncing on those skiis really P.O. ed the field managers.
Fun little plane that stalled around 30 kts, but excellent glide ratio just in case.
A good buddy retired A.F. C.O. of the Bangor refueling wing got his Flight Instructor's ticket last year. Said it was tough even after getting his Commercial.
Two wood stoves ( Jotul Rangely ,Jotul Oslo ) heating 99 44/100%
24/7. No central heat. 6-8 cords firewood from the woodlot /year. Low low tech: ATV with trailer, 3 saws, 2 electric splitters, a worn pulphook, peavy, climbing line for skidding, Fiskars 27, an old back getting older.

I learned to fly in a Cessna 150, and later in a 172. I own a 172 now w/180 HP engine upgrade (it helps that my wife is also a pilot, so not a lot of convincing to do). The flight instructor's certificate was the toughest of any I've gotten so far. It's not really so much about the flying - you just have to do that to commercial standards, it's the teaching. My oral exam was probably 3 hours, and I'm sure we spent at least a couple of hours in the air (it was almost 15 years ago, so I don't really remember exactly).

There are 3 unpaved landing strips nearby: Stonington, Blue Hill, and Matinicus I. ( you land "uphill" ).
IBM's Watson family has their private strip on North Haven I.
Trenton/Bar Harbor is commercial IFR.

Got an old friend next to you in Hinesburg.

Exactly. And with that, allow me to rephrase my earlier comments: When I said something like "what I've done in that situation..." what I really meant to say is "what I've heard others have done..."
