Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[hardpan]

There wasn't a box involved in my situation. Literally a pile on the floor of either mislabeled or unlabeled axes, mauls, ect. I thought the price was wrong on the X15 initially because 44 seemed too high, and when they scanned it nothing came up on thier computer. It seemed to be because they redesignate the outdoor tool section to christmas section, and in doing so certain items either become "homeless" or disappear from their computer system. At least the cashiers seemed to think so.

Tell them it is a candy cane and they should price it accordingly. LOL

I bought a new woods wagon. Pick it up tonight. I'm probably going to shorten it to haul 6 to 8 footers

Anybody score any scrounging related Black Friday deals? I bought four bricks of federal .22 for $25 a piece, felt pretty good about it.

I kept looking for a firewood/chainsaw related buy but never came across one

Sounds like a scenic place to relocate some inner city baltimore people and syrian refugees!

Lol Not.

Baltimore, my least favorite city. That place is so depressing, glad I changed units.

My next scrounge. It's all pine but it should mix well with all the oak I'm getting.

Should keep you busy for a while.

Yep. Especially since I'm so out of shape and slow (according to @Marshy ) lol. I also fixed my wheelbarrow, finally. This should be a simple scrounge though. I can just reverse right up to the logs instead of lugging them out piece by piece.

You are learning, young man.

I wont huff rounds out of the woods anymore unless they are quality hardwood.

I've really been contemplating on just saying screw and leaving the oak in the woods. Just can't actually do it since the red oak I'm burning now is doing so great. It's been really easy to get the stove top temp to hit 750 degrees or more and almost heats us out of the room.

I would carry oak a reasonable distance.

lol. Is there a lot of oak near you? I can't wait to get to this pine scrounge! It's going to be so freaking easy compared to what I've been doing. I'll just cut to rounds and load them up. I can leave the wheel barrow and Fiskars behind.

I'm having a little triangular trailer built for the ATV to drag logs to where I can cut & split them. Too much work cutting it where it is and then moving it.

It will be just big enough to put the front of the log on, the back will drag (safer on the downhill). Should work well.

I have a pair of these, expensive but I bought them for $30 each on sale. One of them arrived with dull points but I easily filed it to a sharp points. Still a lot of walking but carrying wood low, comfortable, and balanced makes them worth it for me. I have not actually measured but I'm pretty sure I carry 12" wood.

Our new scrounging spot, lots of ash trees dying off so there should be wood here for years. We are building a house and shop on this farm in the spring, even has a trout pond on the way to the bush.

Last time I bought a brick of .22 LR it was about $10. It has been a while for me but I still have a couple of bricks in my ammo box.
For tack driving, I really like my .246 Savage bolt with the bull barrel. I can't afford a lot of ammo for it. That sh!t is expensive.

I will burn just about anything but I do apply a little math. (quality of wood) + (work involved) + (how bad I need it) = (my interest). I would be all over that.

Very little. I found a bunch of blowdown I will be working up next spring for burning in the 17-18' season. For me it's either aspen, maple, and birch as the plentiful species. Once I get the last 6 cords of aspen split up from my woodlot I will only be cutting it if yard or roadside trees need to go.

{(quality of wood) / (work involved)} x (how bad I need it) = (my interest)

Fixed it for you.

What? No fish involved? LOL
