Frustrated...and new

If you know where to look there is still a bit of old growth in these parts, I have NEVER seen a spotted owl in old growth, its always been in second or third growth.  Hel I saw one that got ran over a few months ago and there wasn't a stick of old growth, within 30 miles (no i didn't run it over but i did think about getting pictures).  The oligists say that they live in the hallows of old trees that can only be created through age,  the oligists are only looking in old growth.  and besides the fuzz balls have never been real bountiful here anyway.  Its just something for the granola crunchers to latch on to so they can "save the forest" through inaction which leads to massive forest fires and disease, not to mention poverty and ruin.  Face it this country was founded and supported by timber.

I think he is in Arkansas, not Alaska....  ;) 

Yes, Arkansas is AR, not AK. He's not the first one to get it confused, though.  ;D

 For example saw in back 372 Husky is standard falling saw /28" bar.  Back in old times 42" bar on 2100(hopped up saw) was minimum you could get away with on steep ground

This is almost steep ground we still can use cats on this terrain

Just for perspective mill shed is 28X70

Hey men! Just got back in to town after a long week. I am not near a computer where we are staying and logging...so, sorry for not replying back for a bit. I usually get to stay home 2 nights then, back to the woods.

I really appreciate all the replies and encouragement! As I handed my wife my paycheck for the week, I saw in her face that it isn't enough. I don't owe alot, mainly the normal land payment, car payment, etc. I know economy is bad everywhere but I have got to do something. We (my wife and I) are nervous about me just packing up and heading out to the PNW...there has got to be something for me out there. I REALLY don't want to jump back into a saw box... 9 years solo was really getting to me, I want to stay in the woods. I totally understand I need to be out there in person...I just need to figure out how. Thanks again guys! Hope you all had a safe work week and are home maybe.
