There are parts of our property that are only accessible by ATV and a small trailer. It's not like I'm gonna just throw that wood into the brush pile.

I’ve hauled lots of wood that way to the pickup in pastures too dense to cut a pickup trail. I even used an old lawnmower for a while after my grama got a new one. Had a John boat trailer that you could stack 1/2 cord on till my brother decided he needed a skidoo trailer more :(
 
I'm lucky to have a large tree service that doesn't fool with firewood - they hook me up with all the good wood. we sometime go to job sites and they will load with crane or grapple. if we can't get there for the job they bring all the good stuff back to the yard and we go over every sunday and get a few trailer loads. They charge to remove from job - we take it so they don't pay dump fees - its WIN WIN

Wish it was like that here. Tree service here charge you even if you pickup when there doing the job.
 
Took down 22 dead standing fir trees a couple weeks ago that a friend had on his property. These are pictures and a short video of the more notable trees. I had to climb this one and remove the limbs on the downhill side so it wouldn’t want to fall towards the barn as it was rotten at the base.

After trimming off the rot from the co-dominant trunk I realized there wasn’t much holding this tree up.

A couple weeks before the snow and yesterday after a few inches. I know... I know... not much of a truckload but I do all I can in a few hours. It’s great exercise for a messed up back!
