We were out on the land the other day and Dave from Vashon Forest Stewards stopped by to see how we were doing. He brought a friend Tony with him - Tony, it turns out, is one bad-ass-mo-fo. He dropped a 3' diameter tree that was probably 150' tall in about 5 minutes. It would have taken us about 3 days of hemming and hawing to get that sucker down.
Tony then came back with his skidder. In about an hour, Tony did what would have taken us over a month of weekends to do.
Bad-ass-mo-fo's are welcome on our land anytime...
