What to do with sawdust, noodles, wood chips, n smalll twigs.

How do you drag your wood in? If you say your harley with a trailer or a choker cable, thats cool...

I suppose I really should clarify how I move the wood to where I process it. I know my other answer was vague and kind of misleading.

For small logs, and ones that would be considered light like poplar (under a foot across at the base) it is those I do the leash thing. I couldn't drag a 500# log let alone move it a few inches with that leash thing. Like this:

But when I'm working with large logs like oak, I'll have to end up using a dolly to move some if I don't have to go uphill. Others I will end up bucking into 16" rounds and quartering them so I can get them loaded on something to bring them someplace where I can process them. The picture below is what was left of the 32" section of stump from and oak tree I fell in January. In February I got around to removing the stump, bucked into 2 rounds, and had to quarter it in order to get the pieces loaded. Once unloaded I went ahead and finished splitting them.

Girl, you need a small yarder, windlass, lot of well rope and maybe a fetching arch. I'd grub out those azaleas also, they never get big enough to burn:msp_wink:

 

[brenndatomu]

Azalaes? I see some Rhododendrons. And those do get big enough to burn. I threw a couple sticks of it in the fire last night, no good overnight logs from it or anything, but it all makes fire...:msp_thumbup:

Look folks, this woman has one goal in life. Cut wood. Then when that's all done she stacks wood. For a hobby she cut's wood. Then to relax a little she stacks wood. When all else is finished and she has nothing else to do. Guess what, she find a tree to take it out on. She cuts it down, cuts it up and stacks it.

I can see it in her next life. She'll have firewood business. I'm wore out just thinking about all this work. I gotta sit here and catch my breath.

Oh, lets face it, what I really need is a man! :msp_w00t:

atv with a winch would be cheaper and much easier to maintain! And yes, debated between azalea and rhododendron, haven't visited my TN bro in a while so my id is rusty

For a little bit there I was thinking I had misidentified the rhododendron too. I have burned some, along with some rose of sharon, and some lilac. It's all BTU's to me :msp_smile: Only bad thing is, it's too small to split! :msp_sad:

:msp_w00t: Sounds accurate to me!

Yeah, your probably right, but a man can do many things an ATV can't do. Plus they're much more resilient though both can give one heck of a ride! :msp_wink:

Actually a good pair of Tennessee mules might be good, they're more trainable and manageable and they won't drink all your beer.

WRONG! Beer Drinking Donkey | Flickr - Photo Sharing!/ The Beer Drinking Donkey - Roqueta Island, Acapulco, Mexico | Flickr - Photo Sharing! I know, I know, not really mules....

"Oh, lets face it, what I really need is a man! "

I'll be surprised if you don't get a dozen or more PMs on this!

 

[Preston]

Are you kidding. Anybody that goes to work for that woman is crazy. What man my age would even consider working like that? No beer break, even I don't drink. Just work work work.

 

[Woody912]

Actually I am surprised that she did not get about 2 dozen messages saying " ALL WOMEN need a man!" :msp_tongue:

 

[Preston]

But from what I'm seeing these days, all women don't want a man. :msp_rolleyes:

They never did but we enjoy deluding ourselves with visions of adequacy

i get some gulf brand paraffin wax heat it and mix the noddles and sawdust with it to make fire starters the wood chips go into the compost pile and the twigs get stacked for kindling.

Ahhh back on track I toss most of it in a ring and instant bonfire.

OK, since we have to go back on thread, I'll try to save ya buck. Get some of the waxed soft drink cups leftover from your Happy Meal and stuff them full of dry noodles, better yet if you can find some fat lighter and noodle it up! Just don't use 44 oz cups, the soft drink police will arrest you

And all this talk, no one has asked for "pics" :msp_w00t:
