Very happy to see you have started to watermark/signature your pictures. You put an incredible amount of time and effort into your photography, no one else should try to take the credit.

Not nearly as fancy or powerful as the brush cutter clearing your camp road Jean Guy. However the bushes on the road to my cabin are not near as heavy. An enjoyable way to spend they day. About 3km from the pavement to the lake. Took 3 passes each side, a big T bone with mushrooms/ onions, and not sure yet how many beer to complete this job.

That looks like and old two grip Rottnee converted to a forwarder. What happened to the old F4 Dion that hauled your wood before. Nice looking pile of wood, a lot of tough days to make that.
bonjour smclelan !!!
forgot about the brand name...but start with the letter '' v ''.....from sweden
guy from amqui ...operator looks like a great person ...but the owner need to invest ....
waiting for a new set of tracks...6500.00$$ + freight ...3500.00$$
operator waste his time welding cleats....
back from camp ...went to cut grass.....vision on the road is a lot wider....nice....brushcutter is less than 2 miles from the old beaver dam ,before orange camp..
took a pic of our brand new lawn mower...already'' smoking ''...tbk...ahaha

That little guy looks like a real prick…
Pic is from the old port in Montreal, that guy was having a bad day. When we came back a couple hours later the divers were in the water inflating air bags. I think that recovery might cost more by the hour than having a sled brought back from the bush….not by much though
bonjour !!!
woowww...those recovery guys must not work for free....
mtl drivers...hahaaha
cooler temps in the morning .....
i took a few mins on my way up to work ...i stopped at my first job .....to check if the guy was done with hauling my wood to the road......can t tell...
i ve been blessed this morning with work ...i worked a few seconds next to a huge black bees nest....very lucky...there was heavy traffic around the nest

Thank you. We can trade for hunting season if you want to. I eat deer, just don’t hunt them. I would like to run the back roads around your place for a couple weeks, fall would be perfect time to bring the bat mobile up to la coulee verte.
hahah...
you must take in consideration that people around here take their hunting very seriously...
during moose hunting , i don t use my 4w.....only next to camp...about 2 miles....
there s hunters everywhere...don t know much about deer hunting ...
best time to come...maybe between the 2 hunts or after deer hunting ...could be late a bit
there s tons of roads to ride...just too bad...can t ride park matane or duniere reserve....nice scenery there...

bonjour !!!
went to my camp yesterday morning to cut the grass.....a bout 3 miles before , a little bridge.....i noticed the water was brown...so , i thought someone worked during the night...then , i noticed a castor...about 40' away...started to take pics...then , after a few mins ....i realized that he never clapped his tail on the water...
kept taking pics and looking at him riding....something was wrong ....he was riding in a little circle ..just like a needle on a clock and going under water for a few seconds...looks like he was stuck ...
spent almost half an hr there....then he tried to .'' escape '' and i saw that he had something on his tail.....a trap ...
someone forgot his trap there i guess....late afternoon ,when i passed there....it was 29c....he was in the sunshine ...no shade at all...jumping in the water time to time...
well ,cutting my grass was nt a success....after 10 mins...blew an axle and a flat tire...ahaha...
took a short 4w ride....harvesting trees everywhere....they still have another year to cut on the z e c ...talked with a guy doing his maintenance on his machine
