Plus there is clearly not a lot of traffic on it - now that's my kind of driveway!
It has tracks on it now, we drove through after clearing the tree.

Authentic mickey mouse boots will keep you warm in the coldest of weather.

To elaborate more here. The biggest downfall w mickey mouse boots is they are too warm for most things. Amazing boots for the coldest of weather. get the real ones ( military issue ) made by Bata and you will never, ever need another cold weather boot.
I have them, they’re insulation between two layers of rubber. You could run a garden hose in them, dump them out, towel dry, and put back on. I remember a mountain trail trip that we got a surprise snowstorm, all the rest of the guys had their socks on a line by the fire that night. Mine didn’t get wet.
Did a little tree falling and firewood cutting for my friend Tim (who lets me hunt his property) today. (I've taken deer there 3 years in a row now).
He needed some more firewood for this year, and this big, dead Ash tree was perfect for it!
Used my MOFO hybrid with 28" bar, which barely went through it! Saw pulled nice even with the bar fully buried and the dogs dug in!
He started using is new X-27 right away!

Forgot about those, they were pretty popular in Alaska. Thanks!
That was a nice ash.
Do you guys have a good amount that size still standing.
I also bucked up some firewood today, been a while and I need to get on it as I can. Today it was around 38 here, I was a busy bee.
The pile started out one layer of rounds high for the most part, and ended up being as tall as me when I was done, looks like you cut more though.
I also ran the chain I had pics/video of the other day, it only lasted thru two dirty and frozen logs and I found myself running into the basement for another. Ended up sharpening it 4 times for 4 tanks, the bottom logs had dirt froze to them a few inches thick, I even found a couple 3-5" rocks on one, fortunately not with the chain.
I'll get a picture of the after tomorrow, I was too busy today.

Most are not this diameter, and almost all of them around here are either young or dead! I cut another slightly smaller one for him a few months ago. He also has some nice White Oak and Shag Bark Hickory trees on the property, which is swampy. Most of the other trees are Red Oak or Beech. We were fortunate the ground was frozen.
Up at my property, in the Catskills, they are all still alive (unless blown down).
Seems like the cold temps have thwarted the Emeral Ash Bore up there!
I was careful not to rock the chain, when I rolled rounds with the peeve, I put the bar in the cut and pulled up so dirt would be blown out. I did have to replace a clutch spring when I got home, the chain kept running!

loving that stream... only thing my cabin in fuji is missing is a little brook or stream close by for water.
I can tell you we did it with the three sock plan on Okinawa. winter rarely got any colder than 45°F but it would rain at the same friggin time. keep them dry folks... it works in the jungle and the desert. hang your wet socks from the back of your alice pack or 782 gear and let them air out and dry just in case.
yep a thing of wonder unless you gotta go on a little nature hike of 10 or 12 miles... then they get heavy...and they are not authorized for us. thats airforce gear for he flightlines.
I had them issued in Germany in the Army, and the rest of the cold weather gear. Coldest I remember was -27F out in the field.

I had those temps here for the past 2 days....lol
Were you sleeping in a tent? And getting up at 3:30 AM to go “stand to” on the perimeter?
and thats one of the many reasons I chose the Corps.. we specialize in the warmer climates.
(hotter chicks to in my not so humble opinion.
I have one big ash along my driveway a good 4 ft diameter trunk at the base. Still healthy looking but I'm sure it's going to go down hill next few years. As soon as I see any sign infestation it's coming down, Its pin straight first 30 plus ft with no limbs. Good milling propect
sometimes... ya just get lucky!
