    93 Might Be Too Hot For Firewood Gathering.

    Never on Summer Been said many many times: Do your harvesting in winter. Always here Downeast and in any North Country. Let's count the ways grasshopper-- 1. If you use wood for 100% heating, it needs seasoning for the next winter. Gets finished by Spring...or else you're in "deep...

    Appropriate steps to detur firewood thieves

    You're too polite, have class, and need a dose of vengence (sp.). Get hold of anyone with "dirty tricks", Spec Ops, or guerrilla experience for suggestions. It is time. #1. Essence of skunk oil. Available at your fav hunting shop. A little goes a looooong way in vehicles, firepit locale...

    Lesson learned, chain cut my leg...

    Chain Brake Right on Phil...thanks for the rare support for something that makes sense. Why too many use that drop start technique, or don't use the brake the way it was originally engineered, is a Darwin Award seminar. :alien2:

    Appropriate steps to detur firewood thieves

    Wait one second here: that's my stolen red mountain bike in that dump. :angry: Your story reinforces the fact of the deterioration of the Gene Pool....condolances. So, boys and girl remember once again the Pee Rule of location: "live where you can do it without disturbing or bothering or...

    Strightening bent over White Birch trees.

    Check with your local Extension Service or Consulting Forester. But, from our experience once birches are pushed or blown over they cannot be trained to stand upright again. Paper/White Birch is a weak species; grows often too quickly without a supporting thick trunk. Firewood. JMNSHEO

    Lesson learned, chain cut my leg...

    Chain Brake Take a page from the dreaded ( here among the annointed at least :msp_ohmy:) Game of Logging and CLP techniques that teach efficient cutting AND safety. With the saw running: take a step or move, kick on the brake. It's made to be fast, simple without taking your hands off the...

    The Best Time To Cut Firewood?

    Winter is Good As we say hereabouts: " now deah", no wonder you can't get anything done. Too much butt time online, too much whiskey.:too_sad: Up @ zero dark hundred, doodling on the butt, sunrise has passed long before, and you're whining about those undone 'chores'. :popcorn: The...

    The Best Time To Cut Firewood?

    Rhetoric "Asked and answered" This question is in the genre of rhetorical, or, if chosen: "may I". As in : "may I have sex this morning", or, "more porridge please sir", or, "can I take cut wood dropped beside a public road", " is the penny picked up in the parking lot mine", or...(you may...

    Log Float

    Drop, Buck, Load, Take Out....Rare Skid Right about harvesting firewood: buck in place, then take it out. Skidding or dragging only on snow or frozen ground for our firewood or pulp ( 4' logs ) for saving chains and bars. Besides, when I tried leaving timber in place for later bucking or...

    Hired help

    I'm inside 'cause of downpours, what's your excuse ? :hmm3grin2orange: Yup, every gen says the same stoopid thing: " ...these kids aren't like....". Way back our DI's and advanced training non-coms said that about us, green out of ROTC. Later it was our turn. Funny thing then and now that...

    Log/Pulp hook.....who uses one?

    Indespensible (sp.) to any kind of wooding--here it's second only to the saws for handling wood. Get one. Jeremy's pic is an older hook model that's not too effective for wood. Get the orange ( nice color! ) one shown by Center Conway, NH with the tiny triangular replaceable tip. $30. is...

    My first attempt at Holz Hausen

    Nein You all need to know that "Holtz Hausen" really translates to: "Schauen Sie alle die verrückten Amerikaner an, die herum Stapel bauen. " :hmm3grin2orange: P.S. Never saw any in Germany, Austria. They're too savvy.:bowdown:

    Who is still firing up their stove this season?

    You with the patriotic bra avatar can stay where you are.:hmm3grin2orange: No one Downeast has any AC ( 'cept in vehicles of course ). If it ever--extremely rare on the coast--gets into the 80's, it's a heat wave. Hate, you hear, "HATE" high temps with humidity (bad memories of city summers...

    Who is still firing up their stove this season?

    Like Mt Washington ( N.H.) that gets snow every month, our stoves Downeast get worked every month. Why suffer ? It's why we bust chops harvesting each winter. June through August is the shoulder shoulder time when only the worst of the firewood is burnt: partial punks, some pooched, the odd...

    Birch Questions

    Pooched While it's tough to agree with Spidy :help: , firewood under the right cover will season and last longer. Your Dad is right on. Most birches rot because the bark is waterproof. Amerindians used it for canoes, roofs, cooking pots, clothing. Near 1/3 of our yearly firewood is Paper...
