[QUOTE="BSK, post: 1962536, member: 17"] Honestly, if it were feasible, I would love to take half of these cuts and burn them on a three-year rotation. That would keep them in maximum food production forever. However, trying to perscribe burn super-steep hillsides, without the ability to make and maintain good firebreaks, is a scary proposition. Hillside burns have a way of really getting out of control once they start generating their own thermal winds. The hillsides I'm having cut are so steep the loggers aren't using log-skidders to retreive the trees. They are backing down the hill with a bulldozer and cabling the trees out. A skidder at the top of the hill then drags the trees to the loading deck. [/QUOTE]
