Charity cutting for Interfaith Caregivers-- April 17 2010

It will be at the One Shot Ranch about 5 miles north of Grantsburg on CTH F.
We will be cutting some blown over oaks and hauling them to the edge of the property.

Maybe we can meet at Dales restaurant at 7:00 for those that want to eat breakfast and be at the property around 8:00. Dales is right on St HWY 70 just west of the stoplight.

I will bring my skidsteer along.

We did some scouting of the property today. WetGunPowder and his son were leading the way.

This is what most of what we will be cutting looks like.

I'm missing something. I clicked on the link in your sig and it brought me back to this thread. What's the objective of the event? Seems from what I assume to be a swell thing.

Sure wish it was closer,would love to be a part of something like this..

Interfaith Caregivers are a volunteer group that help the eldery remain in their homes as long as they can. We have helped them in the past by donating wood cut at Grandpatractor's GTG's and we will be donating all of this wood also.

I have some other things going on later in the day, but I'm sure gonna try for some time in the morning at least.

I hope to see many of you there.

Woodbooga, here is my post from some cutting we did for them in early March. It might fill in some more details for you: Firewooding for Charity thread

Count me IN

I will be there, do you have address for the place we will be cutting at. I can punch it in to the work trucks gps to see how long it will take me to get up there.

What will we needing for equipment besides chainsaws,fuel,baroil and PPE. I Could bring my 6 wheeler it works really well for hauling stuff from tree to tree. I could also bring my Logrite cant hook with the log stand real back and chain saver.

6 wheeler would come in handy in these woods. The trees are spread around a bit and they aren't very accessible by pickup.

We'll be parking right about where I put the marker. That is about where we will be piling the wood. Full size pickup will be a little tight. I'll have a skidsteer and 4 wheeler with me.

The list so far!

This is who I think is coming so far.

With the addition of some non-AS members we should have quite a group!

Anyone coming up through the Somerset/New Richmond/Osceola area with a big enough trailer to haul a 6000# tractor?

I had a friend with a fifth wheeler lined up, but he had to back out due to family stuff. I'm thinking a tractor might help a lot with the blowdowns we'll be seeing. I'm thinking narrow front M farmall would get around good up there.

If not, I think I can get ATV and trailer at least.

I should be able to make it as of right now. I can bring my 4-wheeler with me too.
