Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[psuiewalsh]

Fixed it .

Looks like you have everything you need to get the job done.
Is the saw an xpw, or just has the wrap. Nice to see it has the old(oe) wrap, everyone has the xtorq wraps these days.

I would call those each ‘scoring’ or ‘scratcher’ cutters. The are just aligned in a close-enough pattern to scratch out fibers in a line to form a groove / ‘kerf’. But none of them is designed to rake out fibers cut by other teeth, as with the crosscut saw illustrated, or as a (non-powered) router plane.

People have them all over the country. I've had 2 here at my place. None last fall due to the Rona. Thinking about one this spring if I can get enough logs in.. I'm in East Berlin Pa.

Since it's snowing and blowing in Jingle Bell square, I am piddling around in the garage. Sharpened my go to pocket knife then a few others. These three are my go to knives for pocket, hunting and fishing. The Case was given to me by a friend over 20 years ago. It holds an edge well and is still tight. What's everyone's go to pocket knife and why?

I like how Gerber knives sharpen and hold their edge. I carry a Gator for gutting deer (cause I like the handle shape and texture) and a LST in my pocket every day because it is small and light.

I also have large Gerber and SOG knives I use when butchering the deer. (My Gerber was a Cutlery Shop special and has the SN CS 000036). I think it is a 8.5" blade.

Actually that's the scarr' 395, but yes it runs well also.

Was just getting ready to say, all those huskys look the same .
The decomp told me it wasn't the 372, and the 40:1 sticker told me it was probably ported.
I bet that DD 372 runs well too, I have a buddy who's from SW NY who has a few of his saws.

They work well for me. I'm not a professional so I can't justify the price of stihls. I was running my Hacked up @mdavlee 7900 with "20 .404 since there was so much frozen mud on the wood. Works for me too.

You'll laugh. Our knife laws are strict as well as our gun laws. It is illegal to carry ANY fixed or locking blade without a valid reason, or a folding blade 3" or larger. That sort of limited EDC. I have a sak on my keyring. I'm not really an EDC guy, but it's the to open boxes and such, and does that fine.

Oh, since we were talking about scrounging cast iron the other day. I have this gizmo from Pampered Chef. It has 4 different radiuses which pretty much allows you to scrape any corner. Works good for my skillet and Dutch oven. Also use it for baking dishes.

I run them all, but when it comes to handling I prefer the huskys.
I have a 661 I should set up with a 24x404x semi chisel for flush cutting and dirty wood. I have a bunch of semi chisel 20x3/8 I could do on it as well I guess. It would have been nice to have one on my 365 special today, the chain just stopped cutting, even got to smoking, but I got it done.
Look at the spot on the left side of the picture, I cut right thru the frozen dirt, maybe that's why it stopped cutting lol.

Here it is cleaned out.

What's up buddy.
Hope you guys do a lot of thinning this year. It probably won't be a problem anytime soon will it?

My EDC knife is a kershaw scallion. I have several of them, they hold an edge well, but are quite a pain to get an edge when you dull them out. I have several hunting knives, but typically reach for my cold steel outdoorsman. They call the steel san Mi 3 or something like that. If a razor had a big brother this would be that knife, look at it wrong and your cut. Normally a few passes over a leather keeps it keen. I have several others including a few buck, and 2 puma fixed blades, but they dont get used often. Butcher duties, go to an Schrade old timer kit (spelling may be off) has 3 interchangeable blades, and a bone saw. My older brother got it for me as a gift years ago. The blades hold an edge ok, but they sharpen very easy. My wife grandfather have me this no name skinning knife, it's about 4 inche long blade, with a hard curve to a fine point. It's very thin, easy to sharpen and works amazing well. I'll have to go collect them amd get a few pictures then.

What’s an EDC?

 

[chipper1]

This was bound to happen sooner or later, especially after you guys gave me a hard time about loading my bucket so high last spring .
I was only about 25' from my wood pile.

Got it all fixed up, what's funny is it wasn't even all that big of a load, last load from the locust I was cleaning up. Next comes a couple elm and then another locust I need to drop into the spot I'll be building a chicken run/putting the chicken coop.

Yes they do!! At least to a creamsicle guy. I have to be careful. I got lambasted on another forum for joking with a guy about loctite even after I complimented him on his new Hoosky.
