#3 Skidding big logs with TRACTOR in The Alps - Dolomiti - Italy - How to Use a Pulley in forestry

It's a long episode but hang in there because there are a bunch of interesting things to see.
Our great friend Bepi Roco came all the way up to the cabin with his 40 year old indestructible tractor to help us skid all the logs from the trees we cut down months earlier. The trees are mainly pine and larch.
We worked 3 long days to clear all the logs because they were down a steep hill and we used several different techniques such as using a combination of pulleys to manage the big weight of the logs.
After Gerard cleared the branches with the chainsaw, the logs are stacked up, in a few months we will process all the wood into blocks, planks, boards and firewood, nothing will go lost because we have plenty of projects to do and we need lots of wood.
This was an amazing forestry experience, we learned so much about how to manage huge logs in such rough terrain. Please bare in mind that in the Dolomites there are very strict rules and regulations about felling trees, please always get well informed and follow the local rules and regulation so we can maintain our beautiful environment.

Our cabin is located high in the Dolomitic Alps in Italy, at an altitude of about 1750mt.
It's far from the rest of the 'world´, located in a remote place in the middle of a beautiful dense forest, where all you hear the sounds of wind, water, birds, animals, and a mystical silence.
The cabin is off-grid and self sustainable, so we produce our own electricity with a solar panel and battery system, we collect water from the roof for washing and WC, there is a water spring about 500mt away were we collect delicious fresh drinking water.
Thank you for watching!

Thanks! We're lucky to work with the legendary Bepi Roco, he's been logging all his life 💪🏻🤩💪🏻

I have seen at the end Antelao in the distance and some parts of the Marmarole. I assume you are somewhere above "Palus San Marco" or "Giralba".

Hi Gunter, well seen 👀! That is indeed the Antelao, we have a beautiful view of it from the cabin. You are close... we are on the lower side above Domegge di Cadore. Thanks for following!
