Out of curiosity I asked him in the comments section what kind of closures he gets. His reply was ??...a foot in a quarter mile..? He went on to say that was good enough for what he was doing. I have never marked timber lines, but have friends that do and that is the kind of accuracy they get.
I found out I was a topic of discussion so I figured I'd join the community.?ÿ
Thanks for watching???
Nice, I watched a few as well.?ÿ ???
I would be a little careful on the inverse calculation.?ÿ The azimuth of the line from station 101 to 102 is different than the azimuth from 102 to 101 even though the math is the same.?ÿ A simple but potentially important distinction.?ÿ ?????ÿ I think a follow-up video describing how that calculation gives you the bearing of the line might fill in some holes between this video and the azimuth/bearing conversion video as well.
Anyway, keep on truckin'!
Great catch! I put the video on private and will make an edit to it. Thank you for the help ????ÿ
I made another video today if anyone is interested????
Keep them coming. Was thinking of recording videos like this for my kids and future grand kids to look at in years to come if they were interested. Not for public consumption though.
@jed a celebrity and you didn't even know it. Ha! Thanks for posting the videos.
I've been fascinated by the first few I watched. I couldn't have kept up with you on those slopes even when I was your age, and my eyes were never as sharp.
You thought setting up the gun would be boring, but I found it interesting. Very efficient.
I know a professor who would be horrified seeing you kick the legs with the gun in place. His students have to take it off, adjust leg length, step on leg, put gun on to check, and repeat until they can slide it for final position.
After watching several videos, it is starting to look repetitive going up and down hills. Seeing your plan, your techniques, and details are what keep me coming back. Are you doing both faces on angles? What does the state sign say? Close up of monuments? How are you measuring to the side shots? Be sure to look for variety- the steepest slope, scribing, and unusual situations were good.
Thanks for posting these.
What does the state sign say?
A little bit too blurry here...
Property Boundary.?ÿ Looks like a BLM paddle to me so maybe there's a pipe with a brass cap somewhere nearby.
@brad-ott It's definitely a Property Boundary Line Marker. Your on the Property Line. Where the nearest Corner is, who knows, but my guess it's marked up like the 4th of July.
@bill93 thanks for the ideas???
The state would set those paddles along their lines. I am often running lines that have been run decades ago but are missin sections.
I think I've gotten better at not walking away from the camera but I don't edit anything so what gets on camera gets in the video.?ÿ
Thanks for watching!?ÿ
@brad-ott it says Property Boundary. It had a date on it I believe 1982. I found 2 of them along that line. Actually found them in the video the day before. Must have been a sale back in the day and state sold it to a timber company.?ÿ
Thanks for watching!?ÿ
