Prefer a Peavey over a cant hook.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Ha! I dropped a 22” hickory right in front of the furnace shed last summer. It was on the hillside just right beside the shed. Finished dragging it over to the edge of the driveway and my son foot-rolled all the rounds just right in on the slab. 😃 [/url] Dude had me dropping trees on a 35 50 degree slope 3 or 4 yrs ago about 50 60 yds east of that spot. Had me doing some gulag schit. I think the political officers/ nkvd had crosshairs on me from somewhere if I didnt perform well. LOL!!! Helping out a friend who needed the help is all it was really. I hate nuisance dangerous trees anyways. Had 16 of the fuggs in my backyard. Down to 4 . They need to go also.

I started the load/unload/stack process today. My process is fall the tree, hook up to winch of tractor or bulldozer (depending on size), on the way to the cutting area, stop at burn pile to limb up. Then cut, and use splitter and split onto pallets (to keep the wood of the ground) let dry for a year and then put it into the wood room of our shop (which also houses our pressure tanks (4), generator and air compressor. We store 4 cords of madrone in wood room.

Ya know, if you get rid of them four trees, toast alla that grass with the chems, and put in a nice garden for Khan wife, a perennial garden or low maintenance rock garden scheidt, you'd never have to mow back there again.

Good firewood will get you warm 3-4 times at least. That's what we always said when I was growing up.

Oh as far as the great debate that is gonna spiral off this thread eventually. Stihl vs Husky. All I have ever owned is husky,s
Dont even have a saw now.
Slumlords stihl,s he lets me use from time to time run well.
As long as a saw has 40 to 45 cc,s or better and a 16 to 18 inch bar and runs reliable and maintained . And you keep the chain sharp throwing good cuttings and not fugging dust. ( morons with dull saws deserve the pain)
What is the great debate about saws anyways.
And away we go!!!!!!!
LOL!!!

Yup. Have to fell the trees first, then do the rest on your list.

... before you burn it. Wonder that every time I stack wood. Figure at least seven times, not counting falling and limbing.
Rounds Split Pile Load Unload/stack Bring into house Put in stove
Growing up, our home was heated exclusively with wood. We would go through 8 to 9 cords a year. Every spring we would cut a year worth of firewood. Cut rounds, Rounds in truck to the wood shed, Rounds on the ground then split, Stacked in wood shed to dry for 4 months, Loaded in cart and taken to the house where its loaded in the wood room, Wood to Blaze King. When I moved out of the house, my parents got a heat pump. The last 8 cords we cut has been stacked in the shed since 2005.

7-8 times is about right. At least that’s what I do when in Maine.

Load Unload Split Stack Into the stove So N = 5 Can back the trailer right up to the shed Might only be about 3 times, as Cookie helps out in the woods. Works all mine after it gets home. Cost is $5 a cord from the forest, and I much prefer cutting larger trees (Western Larch/Tamarack). Five layers deep and usually burn 3 1/2. About a 5 year supply around the woodshed, and the chopping blocks would probably be good for a month at least. Bunked in the main chopping block so nothing can make it to the ground when splitting. Normally do a tighter stack in the shed, but a neighbor came over to help on the last layer. Two Stihls with 30+ inch bars and two 1983 ProMacs with 24 inch bars that have been well cared for and can still run with the best. As long as the chains are sharp, the shavings fly.
