To complete this BB, I have completed a journal so as I learn more, I can add to it.  The BB journal will be a book to demonstrate the learning journey once each PEP part is completed.

Cut this dead Oak with a chainsaw. It was definitely a widow-maker and needed to go!

I spent 2 goes at this one 1st tree was a larch so not dead just sleeping.
Then this f*er wanted to fall with just the timber jack, and then it didn't want to lay on the ground.
Oops didn't mean to submit yet - getting all pictures from people I was working with.
