    Standing/Staking a Blow Down Spruce

    We had a derecho come through our part of Iowa 2 weeks ago. Lost most of our quality/favorite trees unfortunately as well as some of our Spruce windbreak trees. This particular one was the least damaged. Any of you had a similar tree that you stood back up/staked, and it survived? I like asking...

    Get Your Kids Outside

    Drug the kids out to the timber today. My son is becoming good help on the loader tractor. Pic he took hauling a load of brush to the campfire. He’s VERY small for his age at 13.

    Do You Ever Wish...

    Do you ever wish you lived downwind of...you. Tonight my neighbor to the NW of us is enjoying a bit of hickory, oak, and cherry. If the wind turns around, and he chooses to warm his shop, I’m greeted with the aroma of kitchen trash, blue shop towels soaked with engine oil and CRC Brakleen, and...

    The Turn...

    Here in the Midwest tonight, we may have hit the turn. We're now on the back side of this cold front. Winds out of the WNW @ 27 with gusts to 35 and temps in the mid 30's, spittin' snow. The stove is pulling a draft like a runaway freight train. First night I've passed on the shoulder season...

    The Chow Line

    Because folks that hang out here are typically hearty, salt of the earth types, we usually like to eat well. And, if you like to eat well, that means you or your wife, significant other, etc...cooked up some good chow for supper. So, put down what you or her whipped up for the evening meal...

    Tonight's Menu

    With the wind out of east, snowing sideways, and 25 degrees, here's what's on the menu tonight here in Hooterville. Red oak on the bottom, some hard maple on the side, and some apple wood on top just for the smell. I keep steppin' out and gettin' down wind just to get a good wiff. What's on...

    Chaps

    I'm looking at buying some chaps. I've never owned or worn any, and was wondering what you fella's are using. I've looked at both Labonville and Elvex.

    I'm Back

    After the summer spent shooting pistols in competition, we sparked the wood burner tonight for the first time. I spent the day at a pistol match in 50 degree weather and mist, and after 8 hours in that, I told the misses, we need to do a "test" burn tonight. The damp, raw night now smells of oak...

    Splitter Ram/Cylinder Speed

    I have an Danuser 3 point hitch mouted splitter on my tractor. I have never used anything else. To me it seems a little slow. I was curious what the speed of your ram/cylinder is on these newer splitters. My ram travel is 28.5 inches. It takes it 22 seconds to go full travel, and 15 seconds to...

    I just stepped outside......

    I'm a newcomer to this forum, didn't know it existed, or that there were others like me that enjoy this sort of stuff. I just stepped away from the forum a minute ago to throw another red oak stick in the stove and step outside for some fresh air. It's in the 30's here tonight, and the damp east...
