wow 16" and under to the chipper. I figured they would just let the tops lay unless it a a clear cut and land clearing. Around me/my cabin the clear cuts are done and the tops are just left for habitat .

The kids stacked some of our scrounge by the door today. Supposed to start snowing tomorrow. Got one snowmobile ready and the other one in pieces...work work work.

Not sure if it counts as a scrounge as I got paid to cut it down, but I have a few loads in this week!

working on a tree my uncle gave me, the tree was hit by lightning 2 summers back and we knocked it down last year and it wound up barber chairing on us.

Small scrounge today pine slightly different pine than I usually do but seems rather sappy so should burn well next winter.

Remember boys! It isn't loaded until the bumper is dragging.

Thanks! '99 Nissan Frontier with an add-a-leaf in the back for a bit more capacity. I certainly could, but I had to drive through town so I didn't want it loaded too tall. If I could just remember to bring the bed extender I could fit a whole extra row.

A little pallet scrounge today. Sixteen in all. Will be used to stack my wood on this winter.
On another note. If you look at the front left corner of my hood and follow it up, you see a great big giant, two-trunked, dead white oak. It's in my neighbor's yard, and there are four more just like it that have been dead since 2012 or 2013. He's not a very sociable fella. It makes me insane to look at all that wood going to waste. No clue why he doesn't have them taken down before they fall into his house. He has a beautiful log home over there. If he'd have them dropped, I'd be happy to clean them up provided they aren't too punky. The big two--trunked one would come down very easily, but the other four are between his house and the power lines. No way that I'd touch them even if he'd let me.
went to the new scrounge area today. we sawed down a token green maple to keep the guy happy and then hit a huge dead ash tree. two huge truck loads of nice dry ash. a little hickory for good measure.

25 degrees and splitting some dry straight grain bur oak in a flannel makes for a very nice afternoon. This was a dead leaner oak that had been there for nearly 6 yrs and it's ready to go. The Fiskars made easy work of this and is the ideal tool for this type of wood.

Here is the third load of oak from a local farmer's fence line. This will be ready to go for next year. I've been working with so much elm the last few years that I forgot how nice and easy oak is to process. 
Got the splitter stashed under the deck and took down my noodling set up. Just in time too!

We got dusted yesterday morning, but it melted once the clouds went away. Got a couple more cord stacked up today. Looks like the F250 will haul almost a full cord if you stack it in nice and tight. I can dig it! Somewhere between four and five cord stacked and ready to burn right now. About half what I burned last year.
