    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    I worked in my shop today, so I cut up some "mostly pine" slab wood, for the woodstove in there, It turned out to be a very nice day today, in the 60's. SR

    They are VERY handy, I quite often use mine for an "adjustable" table, That day I was building an exhaust for a tractor. SR

    I also have three of those stoves, none of mine leak and they still work great. I always had one when camping, or on hunts out in the Alaskan bush. Being pressurized, they work even at high altitude or when it's below zero out, and Yeaa, I tent hunted and camped in below zero temps many...

    I couldn't live without my grapple, whether it's loading firewood, OR stabbing the forks under a boulder, grappling it and dragging it right out of the ground, SR

    I had the Makita, it was sloooower than slow! This one is a Grizzly, it came with the planer that I bought used, it does do a good job with reasonable speed. As for the board, it's American Blk. Cherry... A light colored board out of a tree I milled some time ago... SR

    Another nice day here in the 60's, so off I go to make some 2x6's out of the log I loaded onto the mill, yesterday. I like to saw 5 1/2" thick "flitches" off the log, and then roll the flitches up on edge, and start taking off 1 1/2" thick 2x6's off it, This log was full of tension and...

    How to hook up a 12v winch to pull logs into a processing table?

    I have NO problem loading or turning even the biggest logs with my manual winch, and the best part is, my 20V drill runs it great! The secret is, don't use one of those china made winches!! They are cheep for a reason and are geared wrong for a cordless drill to run it smoothly and with...

    I use Rotella 15w-40 in my tractors, and sometimes T6 in the loader tractor that get used in the winter. I have no problem with synthetic like T6, in a Kubota or any other tractor. SR

    That's just about the truth! It's really more about being a good hunter, than trying to shoot them a mile away! SR
