Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Ambull01]

Found another Ambull , little and medium rounds .

That pair of rain boots set me back 40$ used , they're caulked so the traction is excellent but don't let the wife catch you with them on in the house LOL

I thought you only stacked one row really high to make it look like you actually did a lot of work. Nope, you really are a scrounging animal. That's a lot of work stacking a van like that, not like you can load from both sides of the vehicle.

That's a good price. I'll see how my $5 athlete's foot infested boots hold up. Did I tell you I found a mouse skeleton in them?

These things are fun as hell. I think I put a couple pictures on here of it in action a while ago.

That thing is a beast. I would need a step ladder and some really strong shoulders.

Now Ambull , if I had one of them .......... LOL

NO WAY! You would kill yourself with stacking that thing.

These things are great for family road trips as well. The ride is actually pretty good for a big truck, and gets better if you put a huge load in the bed. I can easily get 3 or 4 cords in the back however Im sure dancan could get 8 or 9 in there with his ability to utilize every square inch of available space!

Yup , 2 rows ,the side doors give me a spot for my tools and stuff .
I'd have a log loader on that nice little truck

Clint must be busy shoveling or playing with his new pets☺

Could probably use that crane over top of the spare tire to put big rounds or smaller logs in the bed I suppose. It extends out and swivels, then you just attach a chain hoist off the end. The military seems to think of everything on these trucks

I used to ride on those things all the time in NC. We always had to go to Ft. Bragg. They do have pretty decent ride. Now the HEMTTs are absolute beasts. That would be severe overkill for my personal firewood needs though.

How much did you pay for it?

 

[Wayne68]

By the time I certified it and had it on the road I think I had about 17 000 in it, but you just can't put a price on that kind of fun.

SS, cute looking pup! The wife & I (mostly the wife) volunteer at the local Humane Society. Mostly pits or pit mixes. There is one pit there that loves her to death that all but one of the staff can't go near! Most of them are great dogs, if given a chance, some of them just come in scared and have to learn to trust people. But every now & then, just like people, some of them just don't have all their marbles.

Yes sir! Even put in a bit more bleach then you said. I think I put in 1/4 cup just to be sure lol. I let the concoction sit in each boot a couple of hours. Haven't worn in it yet. I think I'll let my wife try it on and monitor her feet for a few days after.

Thanks Wayne68

Wish I had time to get out in the woods soon. I've got about a dozen birch and maple that I would like to drop before they start flowing sap. Will make for much drier firewood next fall. I should be safe cutting them late February though.

found a couple of more standing dead oaks today. the one is dry enough to throw right into the stove.
we cut up the limb wood and drag the logs out with the tractor.

 

[farmer steve]

^^^^^ just split an 8" round from today and brought it in the shop and hit it with the M Meter. 13.5 %. i think i'll burn that tonite.

That's as dry as I can get up here period.

this was a white oak that had been dead a few years. the piece i split was pushin 25 lbs. i thought it would be wetter than what is was. it's gone in the shop stove tonite for an all niter. we are supposed to get down to 6* tonite. i'm sure that's just comfy for MN.
