65 yards and 600 cedar logs

Usually they're bolted up with 3ft threaded rod.

If you need steel cable, ask the loggers if they have any old cable.

I have a line on some used forestry mats that I really want to try. Almost free but I have to have them picked up about 50 miles away. My worry is that it might be too artificial.

Maybe I worry too much.

But you guys have made up my mind. I think I’m going to jump on the natty bumpo train and try a corderoy (sp?.) road without fill. Hell, I have the logs and they’ve already been cut and stacked for 2 years. My neighbor offered to saw the big ones in half on his sawmill for me to make the supply stretch.

BUT if I get in a mood one day, I might also go full outlaw and just throw the mats in. If ‘they’ made me put it back to natural, I just hook to them and pull ‘‘em up to hi ground. Done and done.

Do you have Tammarck? They may stand up better to wet soil.

 

[Maddog66]

I have tons of it but it’s all pretty small diameter….mybe 6-8” at the stump. Hemlock too, but they’re mostly huge (20”+)

I always just assumed that cedar was the best in wet conditions. Why is tamarack better?

Tamarack isn’t terribly rot resistant.
