[QUOTE="Marc, post: 1154358, member: 21421"] Cutting for firewood, as I assume (since it's the firewood sub), here are the reasons I've always cut in the winter- 1) No leaves on the tree or the underbrush 2) No sap (or much less) 3) Cut it and just a few days later if the temperatures are cold, split it (which is important to me because I only split w/ a maul, and frozen splits much easier) 4) I'd overheat in the summer doing that kind of work (as it is I sweat like a bastard in the winter) 5) I've always cut w/ my father who was a dairy farmer for the first half of his life... so the fence line trimming, aka wood cutting, was done in the winter when there were no crops to tend to or get in the way... it was just the way things were done [/QUOTE]
