from my cousin this morning, the guy who bought our hunting lease is giving us till the end of the month to get our treestands out. My cousin and few other friends are going out to the cabin tonight and "remove" them tomorrow. I asked him if I needed to bring anything, he said just your chainsaw, and plenty of beer! gonna be an exciting day tomorrow, four old farts with beer and chainsaws, what could go wrong.............

Park the vehicles away from the trees.
my cousin was cutting down a telephone pole once, and dropped it right on top of his yamaha rhino,, and yes a rollcage will bend...............
Last time I played with a chainsaw and a tree it cost me 12 weeks out of work.
Be safe.
"four old farts with beer and chainsaws" ; don't forget a dull axe or two.
Rule for the day:
Work first....then drink beer to ease the aches and pains !!!😄
Good luck taking them down.
Was out at a favorite fishin hole in Johnson Creek, had the ATV parked up on the bank about 50 yards away. Heard a tree fall and rushed up the bank to see a tree had fallen onto the the ATV.
Two things:
Margaret Thatcher
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
Mark Twain
"In Idaho almost 3/4 of the state is public land, and a lot is National Forest, so why does a tree, in the middle of that forest have to fall on my ATV?"
Universal Corollary Number One:
Never Underestimate the Perverse Nature of Inanimate Objects.
Mother Nature has a dark sense of humor.
Actually, Trees do have a sense of humor! You'd need one of those seismic measuring devices mentioned in another recent topic to hear all of those surrounding live tree roots laughing their trunks off at such an incident! 😲 😆
