You guys sure put lots of time and thought into your firewood.......
I would guess 98% of the people on AS are not pro tree climbers/hotsaw racers or loggers. Some big number like that, high 90s. I would think most people here are personal firewood cutters/farm or yard cleanup duties/move a few cord on the side, do some ebay and CL sales. So..that is what interests us the most as regards the main purpose, trees into usable burnable wood,, tree ID, howto do this or that firewood chore, gear, furnaces/stoves/boilers burning in general, etc. Stacking is in there.. Various collectors completely mixed into the demographics, along with dealers/sponsors, some slop over here and there.
Here is my example, personal firewood burner, but I am employed on a farm and am the designated saw guy for most duties, he has hired the bucket truck guys for I think 4 different jobs now, twice in my yard on big overhanging trees, once at his house and once over at the farm after a tornado where the bucket was used to clear like porch debris and sheetmetal from out of trees way up...I do all the other cutting/cleaning/clearing, etc. So I guess really stretching it I am semi pro with a side of liking saws and having a bunch now.
This would actually be an interesting poll, see how many full time pros compared to weekenders and part time pros (of any kind).
