The other day when I was looking for a RoncoInc pulk/wood sled and couldn't find one :(
I thot I'd use a fish tub since I had one .

Three paces towards the pile .... This looked like a rough start .

Regardless , I join my ropes and get down to the pile .

I tied the other end to the Ute Van and drug it up the hill .

Success but with only small load capacity , it took a few trips but was less work that 1 block at a time .

I took the tall leaning spruce down next , sure was easier throwing the blocks down the hill to the Ute LOL
 
Stihl + 10......been draggin muh feet......gotta go see Hoss.....he be wantin' his apple by now....along with hay, water and grain.....and a clean floor...and his ears scratched....and someone to nip ..lovingly....Ran my old 49Sp up there yesterday morning for a half hr or so....-4 degrees 'Merican....clearing the iced up overhung junk down in the driveway down one side and up the other.....had to put a clean rag hanging out under the back of my helmet to keep the ice balls from going down muh neck...had to cut from the front...in under...couldn't get around back on most of it....poor cutting.....but made the lady where I keep Hoss happy......funny after 37 years I still love running that little saw......even better these days since I ported it and put on that 18" lightweight Sugi with .325 Stihl RS......Saaweeet!!
 
Sure is good to see you out and going at it again Danny...........long time without Danny logging pics!!! Keep yer eye out for holes.....tricky buggers....especially this time of year....they can hide under any little thicket covered in snow. Man... years ago...when I used to hunt a lot.....I remember I snowshoed up on top of a big thicket covered in snow and didn't know it, until it gave way.......had my fathers 60" shoes on.....fell back and down...tips went down...so did I... when I stopped my head was about 3 feet under snow level.....shoe tips down...tails against the back of my legs...totally encased in snow.....could not reach down to undo the staps...all alone.....sat my shotgun down butt first....whoosh... that was gone. I was in there about an hr before I beat back and forth with my chest, face, shoulders enough to finally reach down with one hand and undo the strap on one shoe......used that above my head to pull muh sorry azz up out of the hole.......then I had to go back down and find my gun......actually my father's gun.....not worth going home if I didn't return with his shoes and his gun....he bought those shoes new in 1921...he was on the high school cross country snowshoe racing team.....made by Rice & Miller....Made in Bangor Maine....he paid $52 dollars for them way back then.....he placed great value on those shoes....I still have them....and they are cared for strictly, just as I was taught....
 
Unlike LOL
At least it's warmed up 4 degrees , sure is hard on the woodpile :(

I have burned a little bit more than usual but I should have enough to last me through.
We plan on cutting again tomorrow, hope it warms up a tad, should be more wood dropped roadside by Friday if the hydraulic wood pickeruper will start in this cold. The old Hitachi 200 would start at -20 Merican even if it sat for two months, best starting machine I ever operated. These new Volvo`s are not too bad about starting.
