Cutting firewood is easy. You can pack a chainsaw in about anywhere. Getting the wood OUT of the forest is not so easy. Even moving it a few yards to a landing on a vehicle woods trail is a BIG job if you carry it out by hand.
So what do you use?
My latest acquisition is a garden cart; the type with 2 bicycle-type wheels (although heavier duty) and a large box and handle on it. I gotta say this thing works BETTER in the woods than I expected. It holds about 10 cu. ft. of wood (or 400 lbs.) and the load is balanced so that it's easy to move. The big 26" bicycle wheels go over bumps and holes quite easily. You only need about 4 feet between trees for a trail. The axle is high enough to clear low stumps, etc.
I've been using mine the past couple of weeks on my hillside, and this thing has become an instant necessity for moving firewood to landing sites and sometimes even all the way home. I wish I'd of bought one years ago. Very useful hand-operated vehicle and no mistake.
