Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[morewood]

Went back in this weekend and got a trail for the Ranger cut in. Didn't haul any out because I haven't decided how to best get it all out. I may take the splitters over there and process it. I generally guesstimate on the low side and my bet is 20+ cords. Told my friend this is like porn for a firewood addict.

I hope these pics go through.

It rhymes with corn, didn't know it was a banned word.

I'm sorry, they come up fine for me......or, as I tell my Marine buddy, " I can't explain it to you with a coloring book". Sorry, couldn't help myself. Former Army EOD.

Ambull. I went bunny and squirrel hunting this morning. Squirrels taste pretty good. I like to fry in butter and garlic.

What do you use to take them? There's so many rabbits and squirrels around here. No natural predators to keep them in check I guess. I may research how to make house slippers with rabbit fur.

If you guys want a flashlight as an edc in your toolkit for working with , get one of these .

It's not tacticool but a light that you can work with , not one that sends light a mile down the road .
It will stand up to be used every day of the week .

I don't know, my flashlight was cheaper than that. Snapon prices are kind of ridiculous.

Squirrel is good eating but it takes a lot of them to make a meal for a family of 4. Just not much meat on them.

True. My dogs would probably be delighted to sample some squirrel meat mixed with their kibble.

Squirrels I use a 12ga shotgun or .22 LR whichever I feel like taking on that day. For bunnies it is the 12ga.

Got a chance to take a run out to the scrounging zone this afternoon

We've got one section cleaned up so I figured that it would be a good time for a walk into 3 other patches of woods right around where we are setup .
The first stop I made was a large pine blowdown that the owner asked if I could run a saw through it when I was close so that he could get rid of it later .

It's about 24" at the stump , it's been down for years but it still had bark on it at the base so I went up to Ryobi size and cut a few blocks .

Plenty of good wood and man does it ever smell of turpentine
Jerry showed up so off we went for a walkabout , we found a couple or three days worth of wood in 4 other areas right handy so no having to relocate gear
We still had a couple of hours to be productive so we finished up the last of the dead standing spruce .

Well , there was 3 stems of maple that the surveyors left us , love them surveyors

Was that a Tree Farmer or a Porter ?
Not including the stuff we portered out we did winch up a bunch as well .

a white oak piece like that one your "portering" out would weigh about 200 lbs. = tractor and log chain down here.

Had to reshare my children's camp cutting for those that didn't see the thread. It was kind of a pain cutting around PI and rose bushes but man was there a lot of good hardwood. I burned nearly 8 tanks of fuel between the two cutting sessions.

Red elm


Sugar maple

American elm


Black cherry


White birch

More maple


More maple

Thanks, my handling will greatly decrease because I'm going to totes for wood storage.

That should hopefully help.
