Clearing a North Country Trail parking lot yeterday. Why do people leave them overgrown?? Clearing then is soooooo important. This took less than a 1/2 an hour to do. My poor pics doesn't show this but the whole lot was done.

You guys seen enough? :LOL: Cut this big ol cedar off last summer. When we are whacking out a section, we don't bring a saw along. If something is found across the trail, we return with appropriate sized saw.

Was at Chassell township trails today to help them clear weeds n shoots. Had 4 units going there. New roll of .155 showed up today. We use these up in 2 or 3 years.

Operating 155 string is easy, fun and safe. No need for any face protection... View attachment 880005
I read the summary of your comment in my email notification, which did not include the picture. I was thinking "how crazy IS this guy?!" I did not pick up in the sarcasm until I viewed the whole post with the picture.

Did some minor clearing on the NCT on Saturday. By minor, I mean we could only do a bit. Here is some before and after shots.

Ha! No face nor arm protection :) Results are as shown in the pix.
I'm only able to use105 string in my trimmer. Did about 2 hours with it yesterday in some underbrush not nearly as dense as you see on a daily basis. After 2 hours I was totally beat, and looked like it as well. Even with eye protection, gloves and arm protection I looked like I'd been through war.
My hat's off to you and your crew, i.e. family, occasional helpful friends, and always - your dogs.
