    You guys ought to be ashamed

    I think that has very little to do with your location. ;)

    The Best Wood Hauler/Fishing/Knock-Around Truck?

    With that type of driving you might be better off to limit your truck money to the 1500-2000 dollar range and spend the rest on a good gas sipping car for the immediate future. I doubt I'll ever get rid of my old 93 F250 because I do need it for a lot of things (and it only has 150k miles on...

    Lets talk palletizing firewood, I got an idea.

    Assuming your half pallet is one row straight up, after you ratchet strap it down tight, acoustical ceiling hanger wire would be ideal to use to permanently fasten it until time to burn. The stuff is cheap, soft enough to bend by hand, but strong enough you could bind it down to be as secure...

    Is a winch enough?

    Also keep in mind that the pull rating of a winch decreases with more spools of cable on the drum.

    Do chains stretch???

    That was just your subconscious not wanting him to use your saw.

    ATTENTION - ***Stickies - your thoughts please.

    I much prefer the clean look with the stickies stored away neatly. As for new folks, they'll still find the information they want by using the search, or by starting a new thread. Just like when the stickies took up half the screen. I could see folks complaining about moving the...

    dump trailer

    I think he was referring to something like this rather than a dual axle semi rig. Not a bad idea depending on your location, laws and luck.

    dump trailer

    I'd vote gooseneck if you don't need (much of) the truck bed, and if you need that little bit of extra backing maneuverability. Also brakes on both axles would be a lot of extra insurance for not much extra cost.

    my poor mans dump trailer!

    Nice! I'd be tempted to just spend an afternoon with some rustoleum hammered to keep the rust from getting worse, plus it would be easy to touch up, or if you want to get fancy, POR 15 makes a bedliner now. :hmm3grin2orange:

    Hearing protection and visor minus hard hat

    I would imagine a welders hat would work with that combo.

    My firewood tools

    I've browsed this thread enough to know you'll build, buy or borrow something to get it off the trailer with. :msp_biggrin:

    Any thoughts or opinions on this chinese saw?

    I agree it's no doubt a lot more stress than the average saw operator would ever see. And to be perfectly honest about it, I'm sure a lot of homeowner saws from reputable brands wouldn't pass those kinds of tests either. But I remembered seeing that vid first posted by somebody here, and...

    Weird weather

    72 right now, and chance of snow with a low of 23 Thursday and storms filling the gap so... that sounds about right for here on the weirdness scale. Of course, it won't snow. It never snows here if they say it might. We only get the ninja snowfalls, and then it ain't enough to cover the...

    Echo 330evlp and Efco 152

    I don't personally know anything about the 152, but you can get a new one for a hundred twenty more with a 5 year consumer warranty from Baileys. There's a thread from Stihl Crazy that would likely tell you a lot more than I could. That thread happens to be one of the main reasons I went...

    whats the best all around 40 to 50 cc saw for firewood and light weight,as backup saw

    They don't get much love on this site but I've been very happy with my Efco for the two hundred bucks it cost.

    Are you serious???

    My wife literally never saw me wear anything but work boots (and maybe 2 different pairs of sneakers) for the first 4 or 5 years of our marriage and I'm not ashamed at all to admit to crocs being nice as hell to wear for appropriate times such as poolside, backyard lounging, etc...

    Fiskars NOW

    Maybe, but it's a lot more buck. I'm sure they're quality made but hell, a Wetterling wedge is the the same buck as a Fiskars. To the OP, as mentions TSC has them, and last time I was there, the suppy at wally world had a layer of dust on em.

    Fiskars

    I wouldn't be too surprised to find that a $150 splitting axe has some better features than a $45 splitting axe, even if it has a lesser warranty. I also wouldn't be surprised that a $600 Stihl/Husky/Mac has some better features than my $200 Efco, even if they have a lesser warranty. But...
