Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Bullvi22]

I also feel bad, I had a midnight snack of canned venison straight from the ball jar last night, and it was wonderful. I hate to hear about guys spending way more time in the woods than I did and coming up empty!

Maybe you fellers need a bigger gun.

Reid ,nailing boards together , let us know if it extends burn time lol
I've cut a few van loads and have had a few blocks ride in the front seat

No man, I wanted you to try it! Sounds like it would work lol

I used to a lot back in the day. I was one of the main complainers to get the controls switched to fluorescent orange. Fun running against them get down college boy track stars..they were too tall to hunch over and wiggle through the thickets. heheheh

Nice. Sounds like you've lived an interesting life. Worked just about everywhere. Kind of sucks they don't use the compass much. Just mainly terrain association. No plotting points at all. They don't even have horizontal lines on their maps! I was really hoping I could work on plotting, resections, etc.

i never carry oak more than 3 feet. if i cant get the tractor that close i'll leave it in the woods. oak is over rated.

You're so spoiled. What do you prefer over oak? I can't wait to burn this osage orange next year

For those that ponder the question of how long will birch last in the stacks. Here is some 5 year stacked birch, white and black.

 

[wudpirat]

Birch will keep if you split the bark. Lying on the ground with the bark on will kill it in a year.

HEY Clint: Page 600, you get an attaboy.

[mainewoods]

Well I guess you can't talk about scrounging ALL the time. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you know. lol

You missed whisky and maple syrup in that list.

 

[SteveSS]

You missed whisky and maple syrup in that list.

Wait, what are we talkin' about again??

 

[farmer steve]

3 or is it 4? beers will do that. now i need a shot of evan williams honey whiskey. honey is as close to maple syrup as i can get tonite,

 

[SteveSS]

You should oughta stop by the package store on your way home from work tomorrow, Farmer Steve.

 

[svk]

Try this instead

 

[SteveSS]

Hey now! That looks right tasty. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one when I get back home next week.

 

[dancan]

Well , maybe if Reid was to find some of this stuff we Northerners use to grow hair on our chests he'd learn how to pack wood in a van ,,,,,,,,,, (Pfffft , Southerners LOL) .

Heineken with supper , 650ml of Garrison Spruce beer at 7.5% for working outside and then 500ml of a nice Russian Imperial stout at 8% to finish off the evening


Scrounge on gentleman !!!

And here I thought I was getting fancy with coffee flavored with eggnog.

Matt, it is still REGULAR season till Monday, then ML till next Tue.

I spent two days up at the Cabin with my friend Harold and his son. We saw a lot of sign but no deer! Very frustrating. Rain last night & fog this morning, you still could not see at 7 am.

It's the best maple anything out there.
