Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Done, thankfully.
View of this section of fence-line. Can at least see where One Idiot Logging was.
The fence-line trees are now a few piles of slash to burn off once the fire restrictions are gone, and a pile of white firewood.

Bout to turn this into fire pit wood. Mix of partially punky black ash, core punky aspen, and balsamweed.
My friend doesn’t care what species and actually prefers green wood so people staying at his cabin don’t burn too much at once. Lol.

Not sure on the burn time but they a hard to keep lit and smell funny !
So you’re the OIL Company?

yeah, sister company to hermit harvesting that will be out of lockdown as of next week, thank goodness.
Turned the pile I posted further up the page into a cord of splits.
I’m finally starting to get into splitting shape. Did the whole cord with the x25 and S2800 with only a couple quick water breaks. I’ve done 3.5 cords in the last 8 days so getting the rhythm and strength back. Those first few were brutal.

Couple of scroungers. One in the woodpile, one in competition with my woodpile.
That bottom pic looks like the ink blot test.
Well the little echo got it done
Need a rack so I can take some back with me.

Nice work! Feels good to give back, doesn’t it?
Is that a tree suspended right next to the trail behind your moped, or optical illusion?
My son in front of a tree across a 4WD trail on a pre clearing scouting trip. I’m the one that cut it out of there when we came back in vehicles.

How did you carry the saw? I’ve put them in backpacks before, seen the Forest Service do it too.
Thanks. Yes it does, been wanting to do some trail clearing for awhile.
Dang! That’s a big tree! What kind?
Optical illusion.
Yep
Really want to get a rack for the motorcycle though so I can take the 550, the little echo is nice but would run out of gas if you had to do much, used 3/4 of a tank for these two cuts. Really want a front rack but all the ones I’ve found so far can’t be used with a head light.
Is lodgepole pine the only one that the grain twists like this? It is as far as I know. There’s a reason it’s called pinus contorta. It’s mostly lodgepole at that elevation, but there are a few jeffrey pine too. And a few places the elevation dips, there are red fir. In other words I’m not sure what it is, there are lodgepole around it.
You can see a little of the bark in this shot too. MS461 didn’t blink...
Here are two more shots of it. Maybe something in these pictures will help you identify it.
I’ve seen ponderosa pine twist like that, that’s what I thought it was. I’ve never seen lodge pole near that big but it could be.
Nice work! Did you happen to measure it?
Good job, man! Gotta get over there and ride that trail!
