You forgot Cowlad and Cowlass. As it happens, they shirked the hard work during the day so they had to do all the unloading. Little punks.

lol... the Cowclan!!

speaking of lil punks!... we have some pet names that all linked for our ranch animals...

the dogs are poos....

and horses: neighpoos
cows: moopoos
cats: Kaypoos

Looks like an awesome time!
Nice M1!

Thank you. It’s my favorite (non inherited) gun in my collection.

i like shooting my .177 on a rest like that! mite be same one. it is a Caldwell. i guess it is... i see the black lable on front. same.

setting up a similar area to shoot in side yard. main back gets to show the b/frth foot traffic. but w/o the snow... and in warmer weather! lol use the Caldwell. 50 and 75'

This is an older/less expensive one from Lead Sled. Borrowing it from my friend. Eventually I’ll have to get my own, but the gun budget has been more than blown this year lol

When I was working at the mill, I'd hate it when we'd get into a log full of those black ants. Had to pull the boards off the mill and they'd get all over you. Bite too.

Oh yeah, especially when you're splitting wood on a hot, humid day when they stick to your sweaty skin and you can't brush them off!

Here's a good example of the dozer messes I get to work with here.


Throw some rocks and clay on the logs for good measure.......

The wind shifted the camera on me! One if these days I'll figure it out! I think I shaved 4 seconds from my last video bucking this log and the tip was pulling wood because I missed my vertical cut.

I'm not sure if it's the wind moving the camera or if that mean saw is causing a ripple in the space/time continuum...!

The pro modified stock 661 spinning the SS chain has the stock 661c spinning FS by about 10seconds. The 661c dose have a WCS barkbox. It will be interesting to do this test in another big log with both saws spinning FC!

Nice!

Early in my wood cutting, I had to cut my firewood from piles like that because I had no other source of wood. ALOT of work climbing all over a pile.

A question for you guys. Is this too much hook?
It is not binding, the saw pulls it even with the rakers close to .040”, the problem is that it dulls quickly and then I hear my saw hitting a rev limiter while not self feeding into the wood as I am used to.
For clarification I am using the MS400 for felling, bucking hardwood sometimes dead dry hardwood. Maybe semi chisel is the answer but I like full chisel RS chain.

Not at all in my opinion! At least not fir the wood Im cut'n. I actually file deeper into the gullet than that myself. Creating more hook then what I'm seeing in your photo. However, I'm cut'n conifer.

Just stopping by to let you know I'm still kicking and stacking. All our wood is "free" wood this year. Thank you all again for sharing your knowledge. I do appreciate it.

Where are the pics of this kicked and stacked wood of which you speak?

You should know the rules by now

What a bore!

Almost 9-1/2 inches.

Edit: 9-1/2 inches would be 241.3 mm.

That works. Might just wake somebody up.

I used to cut with my uncle. He loved those piles because you could get a whole load in one place, I didn’t like them because they were dangerous to climb on and would ruin chains.
