Too Small To Ship

With the last load from our logging project hauled to the mills, the stacks of cut and limbed trees that are too small even for the pulp mill have to be dealt with.
Piles of timber left in stacks around logging site.Mike is working on the cleanup by scraping the limbs and un-salvageable debris into and under growing trees with the dozer.
Every time he comes down the hill and out of the woods for the day, he throws his five choker cables around bunches of trees and hauls them to the landing at the base of the hill.
He can bring between 15 to 20 logs out of the hill with each turn. In the landing, the wood will be made into firewood. A firewood project will be starting soon.
