Question from a noob: if not weather treated, won't those logs just rot?
@BusHuxley3 ай бұрын
It’s a good question and one you are correct about. It will rot but the hope is to get a decent decade if they’re peeled. Peeling helps keep bugs out and water from Accumulating.

I didn’t. Just a sharp chain with stock angle. Wasn’t that big and it was June ish so the wood was soft and wet and thusly cut easily.

Hi Bus, I'm Ruben and I live in La Paz, Mexico. I'm considering creating some hiking trails on some privately-owned properties that do not belong to me. I'm reaching out because I would like to seek your advice on this matter. My idea is to generate income by allowing customers to pay for using the trails. Additionally, I would like to formalize my work by signing a contract with the property owners. Could you suggest some important clauses to include in the contract or give me any advice regarding this? Thank you in advance for your help.
