Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[benp]

Welp, I was in bed all week sick. Finally had energy to get some work done today before it got dark. Decided it was a good day to play with the new GoPro too and break out the 6100. I cut up about a half cord of river birch and split maybe 1/4 cord by hand. Just feeling slow today.

I did fill up the trailer to stack tomorrow with some splits. Think one of my Uncles needs some wood so I may have to motivate and deal with that. Probably just give it to him if he helps me split for a day. He's getting fat and needs the exercise.

Running out of wood to sell too. Rest of my wood wont be ready till January or Febuary. Going to have to actually get off my ass and start making some calls.

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

I have to get one of those!!! The 6100 does very well!


Oh man. Ramps. Serious childhood memories there. My mom's dad used to eat the heck out of those. Ufda.

Delivered 2 cord today.

I think ticks are more attracted to light colors and light colored dogs.

I have heard that onion & garlic help to repel bugs.

Along with more potentially affectionate creatures.

Is it considered a scrounge if it's in your backyard?

sent from my electronic leash

Very much so yes.

Just to be fair that is green Red Maple. Not exactly the hardest stuff in the world. Oregon 72LGX on its second tank since sharpening.

Anybody switch shoes for hauling loads out to the truck? I like to do my falling/bucking wearing boots for obvious reasons, but when I'm done and it's time to start runnin' blocks through the brush out to the truck, I switch into my 5 10 approach shoes. I can fly through the woods like a ninja with those babies on! Speeds up the loading time and then on to the next scrounge. Just some food for thought.

I just checked those out. Dang those are nice.

I looked into 510's a couple years ago for mountain biking.

Those soles on the Approaches look sticky as he1l.

My only concern would be toe protection. But I am told I over worry too much as it is.

Fortunately on my part it has been an ongoing project for my neighbor to help me deal with that. LOL

Ive worn Nicks boots for the last 5 years. No steel toe. Managed to avoid injury this long. Do wear my big rubber kevlar lined boots for when I run saws for hours on end.

Yeah, 5 10's have tons of grip. Like wearing shoes with mountain goat hooves for soles! haha

I got a mess in the freezer now, but the wifey wont let me cook them up. As good as they taste, the smell will linger for days. Knats and sqeeters dont stand a chance.

Got me two loads today. The state was cutting some trees and branches alongside the road today down by the river. It's a mixture

So that is the way you control ticks. Just throw a bunch of white icy stuff on them. LOL
Nice layout Nate.

Thanks it works pretty good. Might have to scrounge up some tires for it though so I can use it to haul wood since I messed up and scrounged up a pickup that's too nice to haul wood in Thanks hard pan. Yup not too many ticks this time of year

New truck?

New truck?

Well new to me, it's a 95 PSD, 5speed, one ton axles, longer front leaf springs with shackle reversal (rides nice), billet turbo wheel, 4" exhaust, 6 position tuner, and lots of other things, didn't really need it but was one of those deals I couldn't pass up. Anyone want to buy a rust free 94 Chevy pickup?
