Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Deleted member 150358]

Neighbor's boy (13) came over and put my yard light bulb in. I just couldn't get my fat arse up that wobbly power pole. Just felt wrong. I'm only 53 but today just plain feeling old! Tried to slip him a $20 but he refused to keep it.

That 2 day "Polar Vortex" that we just had sure was hard on the woodpile so I figured best go scrounge up some fresh cut wood
Only atv's been through here lately.

Hey Dan, what's that land you cut on?

Leave it like that. Keep them within 100 yards and them tumbling bullets will cause MASIVE carnage [emoji23][emoji23]

Time for a new barrel. Unless it’s an AK, then that’s normal. LMAO.

Or, Reformation maybe????

My AK shoots great groups. The stereotype is a bit over exaggerated.

Not my land but less than 1/2 mile from home and I have a key to the gate .
I can cut dead and blow downs so I don't cheat .

Good deal! So it's private owned, not provincial land?

I’m only joking. Being and AR guy, there is always a banter between AK and AR guys. Sorta like Sailors and Marines.

I’ve owned two AKs. A Polytech and an Aresenal. The Aresenal was a SLR106F, in 5.56. They’re supposed to be some of the best shooting 5.56 AKs out there, being Bulgarian made using a quality 1/7 barrel. I shot M855 at 100 yards through the Aresenal, and then my Colt. Both wearing irons, both with 1/7 twist chrome-lined barrels. The AR’s 15 shot groups were half the size of the AKs. I then went out to 200 yards, and again the AR shot half or better sized groups.

So, I sold the AK and bought more ARs. LMBO. Still a great platform. I’ll probably own another one at some point.

The Russian Ak-74 5.45x39 round was known to tumble and caused a lot of Afghani carnage.

It's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I have heard it said
It's just as hard with the weight of lead" -RH

I mainly have oddball guns no one wanted. Mostly .410's. couple 9mm rimfires. Some wall hanger black powder pistols. 1 pin fire I guess that could be a cc weapon of mass destruction. A .22 short derringer that shoots like woodchip rookie did. Should find a WMR to match it.

My son's into AR's and handguns. Enough MP shields to arm a girl scout troup. Still not sure why he needed a 357 for ice fishing.

6" to 11" of snow with an icy base .
I did find a few dead standers to bring home

Had to use the wife's Sorrento .
Figured I'd be safe as long as there was no blood

Can't see the bumper in the last pic but I'm sure it's up/down to (Dancan} standards.

Hundreds of acres , been logged hard but plenty of pockets for a lifetime's worth of wood

I'm not allowed to break the Kia lol

What chaps are y’all running? I’ve never used them, but after a talk with my dealer buddy, I need to.

I just don’t want something that will be hard to move in.

I wear chainsaw pants .
I had 2 pair of chaps and gave them to friends , 1 pair were full wrap so the legs had zippers, I liked them the best .

Mine are the old dark blue Husqvarna wrap style, I think they'd be comparable to the technical wrap they offer currently. They are quite comfortable and I don't really notice too much loss of mobility. As an added bonus they save a lot of wear and tear on your blue jeans.

I was looking at those exact ones at the dealer. They’re not cheap, but then again my buddy mentioned that they’re a lot cheaper than a trip to the ER...

I think Mine were $50-$60 bucks back in 97'-98' when I bought mine. They're kinda' grubby and stinky but they've held up very well over the years.

I have husqvarna chaps . No movement problems. Got them as a present but I see them for around 80 bucks . That's at TSC

I tried on all 3 of the husky chaps...basic, functional and technical. I didnt like the way the straps were on the technical so i bought the middle priced ones. Functional.

Those are the two I was looking at, but I was leaning towards the Technical ones. I think they were like $110?
