Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

There’s a 5’ cedar

Our cedar doesn't get that big, not that I’ve seen.

Been a while...

Staind?

So yesterday, as my Daughter and I are going into the woods from the parking lot, a Subaru pulls in, yep, 2 women in it … you guys are so bad!!!!

Did you let your daughter in on it?

Being observant in itself isn’t a bad thing, it’s what you do with that information.

My new best friend loaded the bigger ones with his tractor. Decent load and the price was right. Once again the free for nothing trailer pays for itself. Says he'll have more.

PROGRESS!! i started the 362!! And did it after I flooded it. Of course I cheated a bit, had it setting in the sun a couple hours. Managed multiple pulls, mostly full cord.

Worked a bit on the wood pile, split some very old black locust rounds and moved 1 wagon load each locust, oak, willow into the woodshed.

I'm debated putting adverts in the local money saver type papers to sell the 3 cord oak and a bunch of the locust. Got some 80+ cord of wood out in the yard.

Starting in my cousin’s straight gassed 290. Going to turn it into a Asian topped 390. With MM and TA.

I'm glad it's being put to good use. You're welcome brother!!

Let’s see if the clip will actually load...

Got the 7-19 running. Had to fix the plug wire and also cleaned the carb although I don’t think that was necessary. Must have been perma fouled cause it took forever to get started and even adjusting the carb made no difference until it smoked all of that old **** out.

The saw cuts awesome but someone had put a .058 chain on an .063 bar so it starts cutting funny after the bar gets into the wood. Just appears to need the correct chain and a new fuel petcock to be ready to roll.

I’m happy someone threw a 3/8 sprocket on this in the past so I don’t need to hunt down .404 chain for one saw.

Can you guys see the video? Or just the pic?

Can hear the sound, but can't see the video. Sounds cool though! Dig those old school saws.

And I'm calling it a day with these 2 loads. A few more to get from the poplar and then it's back to the neighbor's property.

Go figure LOL

This should work

Theres a few gems floating around still. The chance to be able to harvest them even rarer.

One wheel or two wheeled wheel barrow?

After my traditional one wheel, wheel barrow broke,I switched to a two wheeled piece. Night and day difference in hauling loads for people like you and I who don’t have machinery.

Have my eye out for used gorilla cart or similar 4 wheel yard cart.

One of those yard carts with the plastic tub would be nice.

For me, there’s a design that have a flat deck, metal side grates that are also removeable. Might be an option for me personally? I also deer hunt on public land, a good option for strapping a climber and gear on to haul down a trail. Something like this....
