Title: Remnants of days gone by
Post by: DMcCoy on February 24, 2017, 09:02:16 AM
Many good reasons to not want big tapered butts.  Just need to get high enough. Spring board notches- getting rarer as old stumps rot away.

Don't want to get your feet wet either.

Cool finds!  I just watched a recent video of a logger falling a big tree on  a slope and using springboards he made from saplings.

You wonder who cut those and what was going on at the time. I found a set of old log grabs in the spot we're on a few days ago. The kind you pound the hooks into a log to pull with horses. They looked hand made. Neat stuff. I imagine the guy being upset he lost them.
