After a point a tent is warmer than the car. Enough whiskey and it shouldn't really matter.

Going to be counting on the whiskey factor, lol. Thanksgiving can't come soon enough- a legit excuse to take a day off , hope all is well Joe - Sam

I'll be in Swan Lake, sleeping in the Suby, come on over and join the suffer fest if ya want to shiver around the fire and drink whiskey with me, lol - Sam

I tell ya, I'm tempted. . . I've cut a lot of wood in -10 to -20. I'll draw the line at -20, cause even though there's "heat in the tools", that's freaking cold. Plus, equipment starts breaking in them temps.

Coldest I've been in was -78 below with the wind chill on a ski mountain. Barely made it down the hill on that one. . . My zipper froze to my chin and I didn't realize it, the sum beech tore of a chunk when it let go. There was a meat wagon at the bottom of the hill to pick up two fellas. . . One fell over real easy like and snapped a leg, the other had a heart attack -- the EMT's said both were from the extreme cold.

I draw the line when my snot starts freezing.

Oooooh, 29 here this morning. Pretty soon I'll turn on the news and see if the Seattle TV people have their puffy coats on.

Seriously, a small tent with a dog or two in it, can be pretty warm. Dogs make good heaters. I just give him a bath so he smells OK before the trip.

Guy at Harris Pine left about 500 loads of Ponderosa pine decked under 10' of snow. Boy was he pissed at the scale. Boy was he stupid.

I was scaling it. It was ugly.

That is quite true, I have noticed how much warmer the truck is when I leave a 110+ pound canine sleeping in the backseat of my truck on winter days and I'm done for the day. I get in and the truck really isn't that cold, a very minor side benefit to dog buddies, LOL.

Yes Randy thats Uncle Carlo

 

[RandyMac]

How do Uncle Carlo?

 

[hammerlogging]

jugs just down below the top of the label so hopefully I won't have to borrow the jug Pablo passed out with in the ditch back there up the road. But Pablo wouldn't want it any other way, surely Pablo would want us to share his jug.

I'm talking to Jim, he has an insight that few others have.

I say it aint cold until snot freezes.

Baah! It is not cold unless your spit freezes before it hits the ground. It actually snaps as it flash freezes. About -20F makes that happen.

Not quite like it does when it's -55c. I determine it's cold when the artic fox are warming up underneath the block of your crewcab ford that hasn't been shut off since october.

Yep burnin. Just got in. A little chilly up there on the lake. Roads sucked. And yes, there was plenty of whiskey. You must be getting soft, sitting in the living room drinking whiskey, don't you know that it tastes better when it's -20 out? Have a good holiday man, drive safe! - Sam

 

[DangerTree]

I keep me a little fireball in the freezer for when I get home!!

Well I wouldn't consider myself among the best sawyers of arboristsite but heres some pictures of me falling.................a stump! with my ported/modded 084 and a 42" .404 B/C.

And some bucking:

I know these look like there from alaska in the 90's but there actually from new hampshire a couple of months ago.

They're just handheld digital photos of prints from a disposable film camera.
