Hi from the UK

[carlseawolf]

Just thought i would say hello, as i joined a couple of days ago to find a diffrent way of collecting and chopping firewood.

The first thing i noticed was the amount of wood you gather in a season just to get through compared to the uk , i burn about 3 cords in the winter months and thats not even good quality wood.

Second was the distance you travel to collect it , because i don't drive my collection points range up to a mile from where i live and taken home on a push cart.

Third is the size of logs you handle , if i'm lucky enough to get 12" rounds then i'm doing good. This may change next year due to making contact with an arborist who will drop of his punk wood as he can't sell it.

So far the reading on here has been interesting and helpful , and i hope to be able to contribute to the forum and show some of my pics of how we do it over here (even if it's on a smaller scale).
