Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Firewood. I'm caught up for this winter

The chainsaw work is the hardest and hottest. Start in August, it's hot, and the safety gear is hotter.

Anyhoo, I'm all caught up for this year, hope the rest of you 'woodchucks' are also in good stead.

Here's some short vids I put together while working on the firewood this year,

We burn mostly red oak, some white oak and pecan. What do y'all burn? Our house is heated entirely with firewood. That wood looks like conifer.

Awesome. Good on ya MM.

I'm up in the New England for a couple days and have been splitting and stacking Maple and Birch for my fam, including 99 YO mother. Last week #1 son and I were splittin on the Oak and Hickory in N Ga.

The question in Vermont is: "Got yer wood in for the winta?" Correct answer: "yup". Correct reply (if any, usually none unless the other guy is garrulous) "good enough"

Was out to slumlords this morning.
Unfugging his tractor for him.
Different set of eyeballs on the problem sorta thing.

Charged him a can of sam,s club cola for it.
Tractor up and running.
Then we went and drug a 50 ft blown down maple with it back to his yard.

Looking around his yard and wood shed.

Dude has 9 or 10 cords my best guesstimate....
Bout 5ish put up in the shed.

Sumbich is living large!

That was a white oak

Shane , I'm disappointed - you're not carrying a firearm

👍👍👍🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😄😄😄😄😄😄


Fugging firewood is what it is.
Sitting on the ground since last year.
😄😄😄😄😄😄

Mostly lodgepole pine. There is an abundance of beetle kill around here. Mostly dead standing, dry, and ready to process and burn.

Maybe if you’d smoke your pall malls under a white oak, you might kill a deer

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

Good deal!

Hey look at this all you Liberal Socialist Democrat sockpuppet trolls.

A pics or it never happened moment.

That'll work!

LOL!!!!.
Play da wind.

I’m to old for that fire wood cutting and splitting. Heated with Douglas Fir four four years that we lived in Oregon. I was in my 30s then. Me and Mrs cut, split with an ax and stacked about seven cords a year. Enjoyed it at the time.

We've been doing this for 15 years now. I'm 60 y/o and have no interest in getting it off the hill. We buy it by the logtruck load. One load generally lasts four winters. I do my work at my own pace.

MM, I'm humbled at how you stay in shape @ 60 & the wood you put up. It seems like a big job.

But are you gettin any poontang?

Just askin as the firewood seems an obsession.

I was wanting to get some firewood done this week. After Covid and pneumonia I feel fine just don't have the breath yet. Maybe next week I can get started.
