DANG! I feel for ya workin' in that snow! 60 degrees here today.

It's not too deep. 12" to 20" depending on where you step.

Nice work Oldtimer. Saw your pictures and thought of your post in another thread about your arse not caring what species of wood was in the stove, it just wanted heat! Think I laughed half the day over that one. Bet your arse backed up to the stove when you came in from this outing as well. Stay safe Oldtimer, your the real deal and an inspiration to us firewood hacks

can't wait to try my new power wedge out...(well really old but new to me...),

I've been hand falling and using the gypo yarder so long not sure what to do with myself having a real skidder on the job...

Them 2 or 3 prongers are a cluster to get in the same hole sometimes, them yellow wedges do come in handy for that :msp_thumbup: I took one down last weekend that had a dead pine grown in between 3 soft maples, that made for hell of a branch explosion!

My wedges are all orange and plastic, but I want a nice iron and steel yellow wedge. Then I would need a tractor and trailer. Then a CDL. Oh, just forget it. :msp_sad: I'll play with what I got. Ron

PS to OT: I know you're not playing.
