sar4x4 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 So, for the first time in M.U.D. history, we failed to complete the second trail of the day on M.U.D. 2016 - Day 3. In short, I did not pay enough attention to the intelligence that was given to me, that the section overgrown with alders was as bad as it is. I was hopeful given our previous 8 days of M.U.D. success and a trail clearing day at Renfrew 2-3 years ago. So, I've heard some interest in working on the trail, I'm considering leading a group in to work at the trail from the other end. I choose to work from the other end because I believe we can make rewarding progress, that with a bit of work we will hit a couple of technical sections and an option route off of the trail. Because if we keep working at the trail from the north end as we did on Saturday, we could spend quite a few hours before making considerable progress. I'm considering a Saturday in Mid-November. And I probably won't take my truck because it needs too much TLC than I have time to work on at the moment. But I can drive my car along the logging roads to the trail head. And throw my chainsaw and lunch in someone else's rig. Any interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawritch Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I could probably come along, although I don't have a power saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 That would be great Josh(? I'm terrible with names), no power saw needed. IN GENERAL, there aren't many big windfalls across the trail requiring big chain saw work. The saws do work great for much of the stuff encroaching from the sides. However, axes and lopping shears work well, as well as just arms and gloves for moving the debris off to the side! (Or handing out coffee which I should bring or shuffling trucks up the line or, just bringing good cheer to the group! lol) When we did this in Renfrew 2-3 years ago it snowed several inches the night before and was a bit wet. But the sun was out and everyone was cheery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in any case when all the details are firmed up and im not working I'm game to come help out however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
