This is outrageus but totaly acceptable to the people of wisconson I had a 4 year battle with them 1999 to 2003 and finley one and I can tell you one thing make them go after the other sawmills in the area they can not make you have a permitt without every other mill having one ! Go to the sheriff department and tell them that you want pertection and they are required to give it to you ,you want to make it as costly as possable or they wont relent!
you should allso be able to grandfather in if your sawmill has beeen in operation before zoning rule took effect! If you have any other qustions or need help please email me at jak10860@yahoo.com

We use a sthil 660 mag to fall with and a 460 and 290 for limbing and bucking duty! Of course we get limbs here as big as some folks tree bowls so the biger saw and bars all 24″ and skip tooth chain are nesesary for production cutting.

Jason you hit it right on the head this is a hard way to make a liven but when you realy look at it when you go into the real world you can make more money but you will spend more money! I left the rual life and went to driving truck baught a big rig made 150,000.00 dollers but spent 135,00.00 in expenese and taxes so I made less mony than in the woods by being resorceful and frugal you can create a life that you can be proud of.

The way I understand it you are better off doing it your self than hireing it done . I heard that a lot of these profesional guys/gals put a creative lic. on your site and then come back and want to charge you more and more for there services! Be sure to cover your backside if you use a profesional! Lancek

Yea it just takes a moments inatetion to get hurt real bad, And usaly it is the simpelest mistake that causes the most damage!
After I left caftsbury I went to work for a guy named ricky gooutsman { not sure fo the corect spelling of the name so sorry ahead of time if he or a reletive our is out there!} But anyway one of the things they did for fun was to see how close they could fall a tree to you and not hit you. This was a sign of a good cutter! I cringe at the thought of waht could of happend with what I know to day. But back then this was considered funny

[lancek]

Gave the humane soc. a call and put a request in for two we will see what happens

I have a prim example of paying attention to the safty procedures! Yesterday I was woorking in a very tight gully taking down a 30 inch white oak that was heavly brushed on all sides. I proceded to clear a excape path on the bottom of the gully going away from the cut I proceded to chip the deriction that I wanted the tree to fall and proceeded to bore the bowl because of the heavy lean, about half way through the cutt I heard the tree start to pop and then the tree exploded! at that point it was all men for them selfs I threw my saw away and started runing. If I had not made a excape trail I would have never got out of there on time, I recved quit a few bruises but no bad injuries but what a close call ! I have been loging 30 some years and that was the closeest call I ever had!

Hey guys’
yes Ross was one of the staff there at that time but the gentelman that ran the horse program was a differant guy! I cant quit recall his name but I talked to his brother back in 2000 he runs a wood working company in montpeiler Vt, and he said that he had surcumed to cancer!
I think I still have picture of Ross with a Ice beard and mustash on our winter camping hike, that we had to take back then! I still make my kids grown everytime I tell the story of camping out in 30 below weather!

the point on the peavey was origanly used for positioning log while driving down the river during the days that they moved logs to market in that maner. the hook was used to roll the log and the point was used to push the log and purswade the ocasional slow poke to move faster!
A cant hook was origanly designed to roll logs on a sawmill and was taken on by the loggers as they seen that it took less efort to move a log this way
