I dont normally cut too far from my home, but we had a good storm go through here last night, and somehow a guy 42 miles away got my phone number and called this morning. He has a 46dbh white oak that went down in his yard, and wanted to know if I could come take it away. I have never traveled this far for firewood before.
I can haul a full cord of wet oak on my trailer, and fully loaded I get about 10 miles to the gallon with the truck. All told I reckon it will run in the fifty buck range round trip for fuel which seems okay to me. How about you guys? How far do you travel?
I hate to go really, I have the use of only one eye right now thanks to a mishap the other day in the woods, and the idea of running the saw with one eye doesnt appeal to me but you dont get a chance every day for white oak.
