Default Dropped a log this morning



Tree log of course, what were you thinking?!

Anyway, I kept the stirring in the video but edited with beeps.

The saw was ms660 with 25" bar, bar wasn't long enough but that doesn't worry me. I did have the bulk of the cutting completed and just showed the last bit. I went to the right side to give a thinner hinge on that side as the log has a slight lean toward that house.

I must have indicated and yelled out 5 times to GO and pull the thing over but the guy on the winch was listening to another groundy who was telling him stop!? WTF, like who got him involved and without my knowledge. The guy on the winch has a thumb controller and was debriefed that when I say go ... GO dont pussy foot around. Hence why I thought he got gay finger.

So, not that there was any big deal but something to be aware of, make sure all groundies are debriefed with their role and the puller only takes commands from 1 person, the cutter unless you have prior arrangements.

Anyway, around 2 mins and 10mb WMV
