Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Sat down this evening to toss back a few and clean up the garlic bulbs I've picked over the last couple weeks. Nobody really needs that much garlic, but it's one of my favorite things to grow.

swell crop! i am still enjoying the onions i grew past season. in refer cold, they are doing well. other nite w/salmon. had plenty of salmon left over, but none of the onions!

We've been growing garlic about forever, it's very easy to grow.
Then you can braid it or top it or whatever you like to do with it.

cook it!

cuts sharp! doubt i would want to make them on a sawall... but a steel angle and cuttin' torch ok with me!

Then you'd have a lot more work to do cleaning up the edge, they'd be a lot cleaner with a Sawzall.
I've been wanting to buy a steel circular saw by Milwaukee.

Ever used one? Company I used to work for had one and it was worth every penny they give for it, despite the cost of replacement blades.

I'm still rotary cutting, it seems to be a never-ending job!

Along with another tree infested field, at least I did get this one done today!

I just bought 28 acres that's been partially logged so my scrounging days are over for a long time.

I've got oak, hickory, and hawthorn for as far as I can see. That's not including the cedar and pine.

Finally! Back in some bigger wood boys! A nice stand of higher elevation three and four foot OG Spruce! Good cut'n today, but a lot of bigger snags too! Heads up!

This 30" 80 foot tall school marm snag pretty much turned into splinters, tooth picks, mulch, and dust. Instantly upon impact! Good stuff! Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

If they name of the .233 Creedmoor I’m sure it will sell.

Never seen such ridiculousness amongst the gun writers in my life. They endlessly pimp a cartridge that does most things well but nothing spectacular.

All these new cartridges introduced these days are rediculass in my opinion. Especially these new "long range" cartridges! If you cant do it with a .308 don't bother trying! As far as hunting cartridges go. There's not a thing wrong with the Originals!!! .30-30, 45-70, .243Win, .308Win, .300 WM, .338WM, and of course let's not leave out the all American 30-06! Just to name a few. We all have our options on our favorite originals. Weather it be a standard deer cartridge, or a belted magnum. However, you can take all these new short mag's and 6.5's and cram'em! For generations there's already been plenty of outstanding cartridge's out there to choose from! That can do anything you need done! IMOP the industry dosent need a bunch more taking up valuable and hard to get brass and primer's! Lets get real here!

Nope, but I've seen them used. They do a great job, just don't let those chips fly down your shirt.

This split pile is 25 feet across and a little over 8 feet tall. The huge pile to the right is my current project.

What did you think of the Timbco? I got to play with one awhile back and thought it was pretty cool...although I don't know any better, so of course it was cool lol. On the flip side, they've put a lot of guys out of work...

Looks cold and wet...I'm a bit jealous lol. I spent my "vacation" doing side work in 90F+ temps and on loose/steep slopes...wearing long sleeves because of the copious amounts of poison oak I was wading through.

 

[Kodiak Kid]

i like some of the wilderness shows on xFinity. one sorta paced slow, but i watched every episode, recording. The Trail.

KK, little doubt in my mind you could be a great Alaskan wilderness life-style star!

i would watch all your shows... they have one called Life Below Zero... maybe yours could be called:

Life Above The 57.79

Im just one of the guys with a chain saw. Just like the rest of us on the forum here bud! We all have a trick that puts coin in our pockets and meat on our grill's!

Actually, it has been raining, but not cold. Perfect working temp! I Stihl work up a sweat though.

oic. i like that 7! and the flip hitch. neat set up... stout lil wagon... loaded and heaped with firewood, i can see why it might go better in a push/pull format... but a small tractor/tug would be ideal. well, imo

You call that a wagon?

Now this is a wagon! A War Wagon!!!
Sorry bud. I'm just take'n the piss out of ya a little bit. I couldn't help myself!

Pretty cool pics! All of them!

Nice shot! Dosent get much closer than that!

I always say that any sunset is a good one, but like the one in your picture. Some are definitely better than others!

I've never ran a buncher! Is there a "bunch" of lever's to control a "bunch" of functions? I do know that they've put a "bunch" of cutter's out of work!

Not here! We've now declared a drought. Grass here is brown and dead. Saves on cutting at least!
