Alright, the cabin is nearly complete and it's time to start cleaning the place up, I got alot of windfalls and logging scrap around the camp area and gonna start cleaning it up. Some will get burnt right away the rest will be firewood for the stove. Other than the basics (chainsaw, chains, cable, winch,Ax) any suggestions for some low impact logging/ clean up

Might want to add a tow strap or heavy rope. I do some wood hauling and find that sometimes you get a hanger and needs a bit of a jerk to get it loose. (pull jerk - not person jerk) I don't really like doing this with a chain or cable since there is no give. The rope though wears pretty fast when towing.

I like the looks of Montana Jacks QuadSkidder but it's way too expensive. That's another thing that would be cheap and easy to make. Check out the videos at the bottom of the page.
Bad link. Maybe this will work. http://www.montanajacks.com/in...on=VIEWPROD&ProdID=247

A logging arch of some kind is helpful. yes you can skid logs behind your ATV without one but it is much, much easier using one. Easier on your machine too.
A timberjack is pretty helpful. Helps keep your chain out of the dirt and you don't have to stop and sharpen it nearly as much.

If you're going to be doing any sort of pulling and horsing logs around a good grab chain is almost essential.

I haven't tried one personally yet but one of these looks to be a very useful thing to have when cleaning up trees and brush.

I'm really wanting to get one of these myself. Looks to be just the thing for grubbing out overgrown fields and fence lines.

I've hauled a lot of firewood over the past five years with my ATV. My advice would be to get a small, light trailer. I often get into tight spots and need to disconnect my 32 x 40-inch trailer so I can move it around by hand. You can waste a lot of time trying to maneuver a larger trailer around in the woods, especially if you have to do any backing up.
