Guess it boils down to personal preference. . . But I like both about as equal. They're the top of the pecking order here for firewood, then you have your white-woods.
If'n I had to chart them, they'd go like this:
DF
Larch
Lodgepole Pine
E. Spruce
Western White pine (when available)
Ponderosa Pine
Hemlock (when available)
Birch
Grand Fir (White Fir)
Sub-Alpine Fir (Piss Fir)
Black Cottonwood
Aspen

Ok he was
A: 1 1/2 hours late to pick us up to head out there
B: fritters around and wasted about an hour just to get to the tree
C: those pics were the most work he did all damn day
D: decides to cut down a tree a long assed way from the road instead of taking 3 perfectly good blowdowns that were literally touching the road
E: grumbles and whines the whole way home about "not being able to get a full load" (by this time it was 7 pm, it was time to leave)
we might have to go snag that badboy up sometime then
That's about par for his course though. . . Ya probably knew all that was gonna happen before ya left!

From what I've read, you guys in the Rockies sure could use way more standing Larch than what you have.

I surely did, I went because I knew that if I didn't my Mom would wind up doing all the work while he chugged Powerade and whined about his back being "out" or his neck hurting
he was actually whining his eyes out because some of the DF we wound up getting had some burnt bark and it " is making a giant mess in the truck bed"
I also had to rest my left arm on a microfiber towel he put on the armrest of his truck because I was too sweaty

Buckskin tamarack (larch) is the top choice around here.

YUP! I think most us R1 guys have a similar taste in firewood.
Gate keys and girdling have done a lot to help this little problem.

BAD day today, BAAAAAAAAAD (no, not baaaaa like a sheep) day
Dumped some pickles BUT forgot my camera
Effed 2 wedges
destroyed a chain
my 38 mag caught on fire
had to deal with my sweetly retarded step father for about 9 hours
AND Uncle Boyd got hit with some heat stroke and was damn lucky Bethany and I brought about 3 gallons of water to cool him down, one minute he was fine, the next he was stumbling and falling down and babbling about wierd ####. Luckily we had some ice left in the cooler so we pretty much tackled him in the shade and packed his armpits with ice and dumped a ton of water on him

Hang in there.
you should have taken it to the house as soon as you got the notion. .
damn Bob, sneaking in between my post and Jake's, making it look like I am talking to myself. .

Huh, what's taken it to the house, like beat the #### out of my step dad, because I'm about 1-3 lazy, idiotic, lying, sneaky moments away from going stone cold with a cheater bar
LOLOL...As slow as I type I'm surprised that happened. You're right about taking it to the house. Some days just get worse and worse. No harm in packing out and heading for town.
And...everybody already knows you talk to yourself so no harm done.

Nah, that's not the solution. Hitting people never really makes them a better person, less of a pain in the ass, smarter, or better at their job. It just confuses them and complicates things.
Why not just leave the guy home next time?

Oh, see where my head's at
Wasn't really an option today, had to round up a metric buttload of wood with 9 people there and about 3 of those 9 active and not just grabassing on the "landing"

it's tough to bite my tounge and keep the fists in check when the cat just spouts off constantly but is a complete ##### (have personaly seen him cry after 1 bee sting)
LOL...maybe you're in training to be a side-rod.

HOLY #### DUDE!
How the heck did the 38 catch on fire???
Glad your uncle is okay, heat is a sneaky critter, and will put ya down. Sounds like we get a break this week from the heat! YAY!
