That tree would look good in my woodpile!

Many of it's former neighbors are in mine! haha

While not a scrounge , I thought I'd share a pic that my oldest daughter just sent me other than more snow.
This just rolled past her .

Drones in search of more "fun-sized terrorists"?

G'day scroungers. My name's Greg, I'm from Australia. Some months ago I had some knee surgery that slowed me up for a while and during my convalescence I came across AS. I've read the scrounging firewood thread from the beginning and I'm currently up to page 826. I'm a bit like LondonNeil - I feel like I know everyone here having read through from the beginning, but of course, none of you have the first clue who I am. Still, I've learned some good stuff reading through here about hunting, maple syrup, firearms and the proper amount of firewood to load into a UTV (correct answer: all of it).

I've been keeping warm with firewood since 2000 and bought my first chainsaw (MS 310) in 2007. Prior to that, I cut all our wood with a bow saw, but when my favourite son arrived in 2007 and the missus was at home full-time, my right arm couldn't keep up anymore with the wood requirement. I quite enjoyed the exercise...up to a point. So then a got a saw with a motor in it and seemed to be succumbing to CAD even before I joined AS. My wife appears to find this amusing. Anyway, I thought I'd say hello. I'm going to go back and keep reading posts from July and I'll catch up with you in a week or two. In the last couple of months I've been taking some shots of scrounges, though compared to some of the pics I see here, my scrounge photography needs some work. So I'll see you soon. I've tried to put in a pic of the outlook from my woodshed today, hope it comes out.

Thought you might like this svk (and others) came across the biggest aspen I have ever seen, 30" across chest highView attachment 530092

That's a beast. If I would wager you have good sandy soil with plenty of moisture?

Welcome!

Don't forget whiskey along with the guns and maple syrup side discussions.

Welcome to AS Cowboy. That is some view! My wife also finds it amusing. Keep reading and browsing the posts, I have learned a lot here and its just amazing what these folks will do for fellow members with nothing in common between them then the love for Saws, Wood and loud mufflers. I have seen many generous offers to help each other in many ways here, from parts donations to assisting a fellow member or their extended family when stricken by the worst of times. Looks like your gonna fit right in. I read AS posts in the morning with coffee. (Newspapers nothing but bad news)

The soil is pretty sandy but not really a lot of moisture, it is at the base of a mountain on the north side though, would be interesting to see how old it is.

Got saws ready last night for my scrounging adventures this weekend.



And I picked up another goody.



I'm on bingo saw fuel so I have to hit the 110 pump this morning when I run errands.

I also ordered a pferd cs-x sharpening tool yesterday.

Kinda excited to get that in my hands

Amazing how a picture of some saws on the floor of the garage can make you jealous. (Man i have problems) lol

[woodchip rookie]

Filled the last of my racks this morning. I have 10 facecord stashed under my deck. It's a good spot with the west wind keeping it dry and tin overhead. Burned a little over 5 cord last year so half of it has been stacked for 2 seasons. The goal is to keep it split a year ahead.
Happy scrounging!
