I should clarify this a little better as I completely agree with this statement. By "borrow" I mean that we cut together. He sells his, and I burn mine. I have more cutting equipment (saws, axes, mauls, wedges, chains, and such). He got rid of most of his years ago and no longer burns firewood (retired). I would be more than willing to only take half of what I buck up and split. He could drag it out, or I could buck it up on the spot and together we could load it into the bucket and then dump it into my truck, or onto a trailer that is not far away.
The weather doesn't look like it's going to be all that favorable for me getting back to the wood any time soon. Thawing out (good for getting rid of this freaking ice), but I don't think it's going to give us a good freeze again this winter. I'll get the plow off the quad this week and then go take a better look at where I think I'll be able to drive when it dries out, and where I'm going to have to drag/haul.
