I know that when I am out driving I am constantly on the lookout for dead standing or dead on the ground wood. I think I have finally gone over the deep end with acquiring firewood.
Last night I was watching a TV show and in one scene they showed a park in the city and all I could focus on was the huge dead standing tree in the background. It really jumped out at me! The rest of the trees had their leaves, but this one had no leaves or bark. Looking at it I instantly figured it to be about 1.5 cords and looked like oak, using the other trees as reference.
The goofy weather we have been having, it has been in the 50's for the last week and causing a winter thaw. I have not been able to go out and cut like I want to. Hopefully the weather gets and stays below freezing for a while cause I think my only cure right now is to cut and bring in two or three cords to split. The other problem I am having with my firewood acquiring is my quad died, but I got good word that the parts are being shipped today. So next week I can get it going and get some wood.
I know on the chainsaw side of this site they talk about CAD. I know I have that, but funds are tight right now. But never figure to get FAD.
Don't mean to be to much of a nut. I am enjoying more and more of the great outdoors due to the fun of heating with wood in the winter.
