This is similar to what I used but I used cheddar cheese instead of pepper Jack. I followed a video on FB that didn’t actually include a recipe

Someone could cut longer here if they wanted, on private property. When orchards are removed, they’ll sometimes allow cutting for a fee. You could cut on your own property, or a friends too. I only once got wood from a tree crew, it was some unknown tree. In the city most trees are non native. In rural areas and foothills it’s mostly oak. The reason the National Forest has a season is it’s too steep, same reason logging shuts down for the winter.
For me, scrounging season is that time after cricket season finishes when the snakes, spiders and scorpions are heading in to hibernate but before the drop bears reach full ferocity. It normally lasts about 3 days.
The infamous drop bear...
You have drop bears down under and we have the Hodag here in Wisconsin.
Look up wikipedia's explanation for the Hodag. It's funny stuff.
It's only Conifer, but it's free heat. probably about a cord
Crikey, get it around the back before someone pinches it. Time to fire up the pram!
Definitely! There will be some pram action to rival H-ranch!
Howdy.
New pup woke me up at 2:30 and I figured I would wait him out...he ended up howling till 4 minutes before my alarm went off. I guess I wont do that again lol.
First pup was a beast to kennel train. Second one was a dream. This one going well but I tried to push it too much lol.

Absolutely! The other two already kennel by command from anywhere in the house.
Rest of the pictures from today . This is the smaller of three oaks that fell at my friends place . And I hit what appears to be a roofing nail on the last cut 
Barbed wire, live stock fencing, railroad boundary fencing, fence staples, nails… nothing unusual there!
Light load today. Oak and Pecan. We had 2" of rain and it made the log yard a mess. Is the dark centered wood Black Oak or Black Jack Oak?
A lot more recently dumped but I had to stay on the rock with my truck.
A pile of this too. I'm calling it Birch but I'm not sure.

After being a road warrior for the last month then wet snow, I got another Ash dropped today. Got the notch clean and straight first try. Dropped exactly according to my plan/aim. Day's like this I feel like bucking Billy Ray. LOL
On these brittle ash I sure feel more comfortable bringing my back cut in about an inch above the V of the notch. Think the hinge holds on a bit longer. My desired fall was about 20 degrees to the lean/load direction, mainly to miss a fence post. started hand splitting, hauling will have to wait, pasture is still soft, frost MOSTLY out.

Last cut, that's the unusual bit!
As a suburbanite with my scrounging coming from other gardens I get washing line, rope swings, nails/screws for bird feeders and tree houses, chain link fencing. It all has the same effect ... Sparks, a grimace, reach for the file.
Hey guys it's been a while. Life got busy. You all know. Just coming off over time at work. Feels like I haven't had much of a life here lately. Any way. I finally bought a little tractor. Picked up a kubota B7510. Rough shape but fully functioning and serviced. 2k hours on the dash. She's been quite the project, cosmetically. Got new tires all around. Went with the r14 design. So far I quite like them. I need to get some beet juice and fill them. Currently working to get a loader built for it. I think I have 90% of everything besides lines and hoses.

Yeah… I get my share of nails, j-hooks, screws and other hardware too. Worst thing was a j-hook while chainsaw milling the big ash in my avatar… broke about 20 teeth off the chain as I recall. The pitfall of using a winch versus pushing by hand… $50+ chain destroyed!
