Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[turnkey4099]

I've been working on split/pile of all the Horse Chestnut, Poplar, etc. Just finished. Now to get set up for the fall winter when I can't get out to the willow clearance. Have somewhere around 8-9 cords to split/pile.

Heating Plumbing outfit due here this afternoon to replace the gaskets on the wood stove. That thing goes back to the days of the first 'air tights' It has digested well over a hundred or two cords of wood.

A much better action video of the Peerless chainsaw chain sharpener in action. This has a solenoid activated clamping system.

need to make a fuel run before I can cut too much more.

How many five gallon fuel jugs do you haul in your wheelbarrow?

I think i'm in love.

Never really thought of bears being worth eating before joining the scrounging forum.

Many think they aren’t, and say they’re too greasy. I haven’t tried it, but know people who have.

I hate stihl flippys, on the other hand, husky made them right.

Not “this” subject again!

WTF? Did he shoot that in June/July?

It was posted September 16th, the post didn’t include the date it was shot. Archery season in this zone was 8-19 to 9-10.

I suppose you prefer Zig Zagging bears and grease guns.

As a matter of fact…

The umpires don't seem to have a clue about the rules sometimes either .

My team - Melbourne - got rolled in the semi finals in the last minute of the game. Brisbane Lions vs Collingwood Magpies in the grand final. I'm going for Brisbane, Collingwood is the team that everyone except Collingwood supporters hate. And their supporters are the worst - complete ferals with barely a full set of teeth between them.

Typical Melbourne BS!

That's sweet.
Looks like your wheel needs to be dressed differently and or the depth of the cut needs to be raised. When it's correct you should have a nice hook, not a straight line on the side plate.

Might take a while until it comes up again, but I'll let you know. Most likely it will since I don't plan on selling all my stihls right away, especially that little ripper(the ms200 rearhandle), or the ms201 rear handle, or the ported 241, or the ported 261, or the MM 462, or the pole saw .

Some people can figure out flippy caps, some cant!!!

The trail cam (near the stand where I shot the bear) picked up a larger bear and 2 deer not long before dark tonight (not at the same time, but within 1/2 hour).

I heard a rumor that it’s people in GR. MI. that can’t figure out the flippy caps.

Watch it, I resemble both sides of that remark lol.
The other day I snapped this picture, it's a bunch of mostly decent sized ash trees in a field down in Ohio. I usuhead thru the other direction and can't get a good picture of them. Lots of the smaller trees that made it in that area the tornado hit were also ash. Good they seem to be making a great comeback.

You watch it to, the husky ones do work better, never heard of one coming loose .

Sent my buddy off with another load of wood tonight.
He really needs to get some new leaf springs and the axle flipped to the bottom side of the new springs.
He still has quite a bit to haul out yet, it takes a while at a face cord to a half a cord at a time lol.
He's new to cutting/burning so I'm trying to help get him off to a good start. He's already got enough seasoned wood for this winter, and the pile here will get him close to set for next year. He's also got a husky, so he should be all set for saws .

You know if you need help cutting you can just call. You don't even have to bring any saws!

Have some cutting to get done at the farm, might take you up on that

Bow hunt the morning, then cut

Or cut, then hunt the afternoon

Dang, if I tried that length of grind time with my Oregon grinder the entire tooth would blue, lol
