My helper came over today, so we decided to get some of my "scrounged" stock piled firewood logs blocked up. So I grappled one and held it over my wagon while my helper chain sawed it up,
This red oak won't need much more splitting! lol
and I kept bringing them and my helper kept chain sawing them to fire wood lengths,
until we had a wagon load of red oak and blk. cherry rounds!
We ran out of time today, so splitting these big rounds will have to happen another day...

That loks like a good days work
Back, after another 3 days off the grid to work on the cabin. It is starting to look like something. Got so warm yesterday we were in T shirts, and the previous trip in was snowing!
My friend Harold got both of those big front windows (each as big as a door) for free as a result of an unclaimed order, and the large one on the side I glomed from a damaged bay window. We did not buy any of the windows, they were all throw a ways, etc. (several not yet installed).
It still needs some work, but it is getting there. The view is from the ground about 50' in front of the cabin. You can see how the mist just clings to the mountains.

You've made serious progress this summer.
I'm on year 5 of working on my hunting cabin. Getting close but life with 5 kids takes precedence.

So there was a new entry on Craigslist for free wood. When I arrived, there was another couple loading the wood as it was CSS. Older stuff but worth the effort as it wasn't rotten. The guy then said that the town fell these two trees awhile ago. Take them if you want. They were on a hill. We went back to the house, grabbed the saw and then used the bed mounted winch for the first time. THIS TRUCK IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!
Sorry for the short vid. Day started out cool then got hot. Plus me running up the hill, etc.. . My neighbors kid is operating the winch..
SCROUNGE AWAY!!!

I've got that load of birch/maple to grab from my buddy's building site to possibly pick up this Sunday but otherwise scrounging is on hold for a while until due to hunting season. Two deer tags for our family plus I drew a wolf tag (difficult to obtain) so that's the priority starting next weekend.
I've got a half cord of blowdown spruce to grab and bring home that's ready to burn but I can do that once venison is hanging. Picked up some new 2x4's to build one more under the awning wood rack.

A man has to take a break form scrounging once in a while, especially for deer huntin'. I like venison almost as much as I like cuttin' wood.

I guess it you had to, you could always butcher that "swamp donkey" in your picture! lol

Moose meat is significantly better IMO than venison..... And you get 600 lbs of it at one shot.
We have a few upstate, but no hunting for em in NY.
Besides, they R kinda tough to drag!

I shot my first moose in the late 60's and MANY more after that... I got to dislike moose meat so much, that I wouldn't even shoot a bull, when in season, it walked into my yard! AND my opinion hasn't changed...
I do harvest a deer or 3, every fall though and I like it best when I mix some fresh ground pork sausage into it before cooking it...

Can't compete with Dancan on wood capacity, but found some photos from recent GTGs that shows my Corolla stuffed with gear. For big events, the roofbox goes on top.
