It was -2 here, were up to zero now, warming to 17.
As of right now ours is just supplementary heat. Its an old heatilator and burns a face cord a night. Its bricked in so our family room is not conducive to add a standalone stove, But ill probably safe my pennies for an insert if i get a good supply of wood. Hopefully it warms up soon so you can start sleeping through the night.

You as well. I tend to drunk post a lot as our hours are 13 hours apart. (my off work drinking time) so filter is obviously not always in place, i offer this not as an excuse but simply a statement of fact. I honestly try to tone down my thoughts but they leap from my brain and straight to my mouth.. or in this case fingers. the old adage of measure twice and cut once should be automatic... Unfortunately for me its not. Good Evening Sir and best wishes to your family as well.
I am trying to get some more cut once I can get back into the forest from the previous sno
Thank you H-ranch! I am planning on having somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60 cords by August stacked and drying for fall. I really love the beetle kill spruce to burn. I haven't yet decided which Husky to save up for on the pro line. I am really liking the 562xp and the 572xp. I have been using the 034 for over a decade and my ms361 for 5 years but my ms361 has left me stranded and sometimes won't even start. I got it used and it was a rebuild at that .
60 full cords? That is a lot of wood!
Yea, some days I can cut 2 cords of logs and haul but I need more daylight for that and I have to start early. I grew up cutting white and red oaks, hickory and sweetgums when they needed to be taken down. Spruce and pine especially are so much easier to take down than those knarly hardwoods in my youth but the crash from the tree on the Earth was much more noticable and you could feel it with the hardwoods.
I have a very basic way I haul and get my logs. Hopefully this year I will be able to get a nice mid late 90s diesel 3/4 ton and a trailer with a winch on the front to winch up my logs. Using brute Force, aka my body to load logs is really overworking me even though I really enjoy the hard work and workout I get out of it.
Here is a typical load for me. Takes about 2 hrs to fell, buck and load a cord then drive back to low elevation property to cut up logs and split which takes about 1.5-2 hrs per cord to split. I will sometimes drop a big "25-32" tree but it's a bit much for loading by hand lol. So now I make logs 10-12ft long so I can haul a cord plus some I this old truck.
Now that's the definition of scrounging
I'm sorry to hear about your beloved dog member. I
hope you guys can move on happily with the memories of him. My Vesla bird dog Penny had a oopsy litter with my pyrenese male last winter and not 2 months later she died. It was middle winter and couldn't bury her so I took her to a mtn top on my snowmobile and found a nice tree that overlooked the whole valley over to the Sangres and rock buried her there under the tree. She was also a beloved dog member who I took everywhere with me in the mtns on all my adventures. I feel for you in this hard time. Memories make me smile as they will you and your wife. 
Only 2 tix and he's upside
