Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[KiwiBro]

A true adventure! 8 guys in a raft/rafts. 8 days without resupply on a 'wild river'? How on earth do carry enough brew

24-hr brew kits

Ah the joys of saws, my 880 has just gone to the dealer for the second time for warranty work, and only after about 10-12 tanks through it. Gone beyond disappointed at this stage

Happy New Year fellow scroungers !!!

Even made another ax throwing target to take to my buddy tonight.

Now if your really good you could do some maul throwing and split the lot up .

Jeff

I'm a little afraid that may happen with the ax throwing! It's straight grained and easy splitting - the maple I gave him had a twist in the grain of almost 45°.

If I'm thinking of splitting by throwing the maul I suppose I should stack the rounds so the splits end up stacked too.

Happy New Year scroungers. May your year be filled with more wood than you can cut and split.

Snow here today to start off the year , yesterday to finish off the year I put together another woodrack by the door and filled it so now there's about 1 1/2 cord by the door
I had to do an intown run yesterday afternoon , I spotted a 1/2 ton parked on the side of the highway ,no one around , thot to myself "Strange place to park , not there for ice fishing , might be broke down or he's scrounging firewood " .
Sure enough , on the way back the truck's still there parked beside a little green belt of spruce and firs that was spared by a forest fire several years ago .
When I got closer a fella pops out from the wall of green with a 6' stick of wood and throws it in his truck , he was headed back in the wall of green when I checked my rearview mirror lol

Are you having a go at the dark hedges then? Lol. I didn't see many 880 worthy trees when I was over there.

well it's better to have it and not need it, rather than to need it and not have it.

ah even when it's not running, it will still run rings around a "hoosky"

Scrounged this up for my daughters go-kart project. $40 never been out of the plastic.

Happy New Year scroungers. May your year be filled with more wood than you can cut and split.

Hopeing by next week I'll be drowning in wood. Don't have room for any more but can't say no when its 2 minutes from the house.

$40 is a steal on that. Cheapest nib I found was $85 meet me in the alley sorta cl deals.

Ran into a row of sugar maple out of my stacks. I forgot how nuclear that stuff is when it is burnt alone! 1400 degrees in a lick of time. Good timing as it was -12 last night and already -3 tonight.

Ported the cylinder today for the Asian 440 Big Bore

 

[MustangMike]

Installed the piston, cylinder, flywheel (key cut .020), oil pump and clutch.

Maybe we can breath life into it tomorrow.

Looking good but it's not Blue!

 

[MustangMike]

No, this is one of the older kits in the traditional color scheme.

Meanwhile my 20yr old + Hoosky will be out cutting wood today whilst yours is back in again for it's regular visit to the dealer for yet again another pep talk to make it run.

And my Hoosky's never had to go to a saw doctor to help it work, it just starts and gets stuck in year after year

a bit of brand bashing every now and again is needed to shake this place up
