Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[JustJeff]

Some rounds we load are way too big and heavy for that.

That's when you either need a tractor or a half round

Well no more cutting from the close by easy cream patch for nowView attachment 844960

I haven’t seen a sign like that around here in years, off limits areas are shown on a map given with the permit.

 

[mountainguyed67]

have knocked up

Do you know what that means to American’s?

In case you guys want a laugh, Gunny is back here posting as chainsawman123

Who‘s that?

 

[mountainguyed67]

My buddy calls his screen glasses “birth control glasses”

That‘s a term borrowed from military issue glasses.

 

[svk]

Who‘s that?

A dude from Pennsylvania who has been begging for free hardwood for the last 7-8 years. He’s been banned several times.

He also likes spankings.

Am I in the right thread .
Carry on gents, I do find it interesting . Maybe some yr I'll use my CSM that my buddy is borrowing right now.

This is a do all thread at times.

Sorry for the subject change. Just wanted to share it here with the scrounging clan

We should start a drinking game. A single for every request for free wood. A double for references to spanking.

I'm good man, like I said, I enjoy learning, and who knows when you'll need to use some of it.

Or just roll it up the trailer ramp. To a point, some have been big enough that I’ve had to split or noodle to make light enough to load.

Can I borrow it next?
There's some nice logs at the log yard that I hate to cut up into firewood.

Absolutely, as soon as my buddy makes it back from NY and I get it back, then you can come over and get it lol.

Oh? Is this where the line starts?

Actually, I have a line on a home made bandsaw on a trailer with a 30hp engine capable of 36" diameter logs . We'll see how much he wants for it, but my buddy (neighbor of the owner) says he sells stuff cheap. Same buddy has worked on it and says its a good machine that is way overbuilt. This is coming from a guy with a full machine shop in his pole barn for fun so if he says something is good, it probably is.

Okay, your next unless you get the mill.
When I read an ad on CL and it says HD log splitter, what I instinctively think is very large scabbed together slow machine that I won't be able to move anywhere by hand .
Must I post examples.

Ok, you can have the CSM next; you've been around here longer.
Can I borrow your bandmill when you buy it? I promise I'll only keep it a year or two .

P.S. I try not to be a comedian; no one gets my humor.

Okay @H-Ranch is up to bat .
I think I get it.

Believe they mill the logs, let them air dry for 5 years. Then cut them up and use as firewood. Many people around here pay to remove trees, have logs stacked in piles to cut as firewood, then just watch them rot in place.

I know where a few are stacked myself, I know one for sure has been there over 20yrs because I saw them when I bought a 350 chevy off the guy, and it's been a long time since I've bought a carbed 350. I bet it would make some great kindling by now, or mulch .

There have been many off topic discussions in this thread, first time someone has taken issue with it. Meh.

 

[chipper1]

Funny, I uploaded that onto a 4WD forum years ago. Great, but it’s also flirting with disaster. That’s a lot of leverage on the hub bolts.

Saw this today and had to get a picture, this guys gonna need to scrounge a couple new axles.
This is in the ride share about 5 min from our place, the from axle end is bent and the rear is totally broke off .

Not everyday you see a pontoon boat parked on the asphalt at the ride share .

Heck we even saw OJ's cousin rolling down the expressway today, it was an interesting day to say the least.

Now, hows that for a derail.
Not good enough, here's da-rail, with a nice storm brewing off to the south also today.

Okay, back to scrounged wood now!
Black locust perch for the critters .
I think they like the locust as much as I do.

True, totally not true.
First I was just messing, second some have gotten upset about it in the past. Yep, whatever they'll get over it, or they won't.

Probably due to lack of maintenance.

 

[H-Ranch]

When I read an ad on CL...

That's just it - the guy is not tech savvy and doesn't post anything for sale. Apparently all word of mouth. My buddy says it's stout though.

 

[mountainguyed67]

First I was just messing

I knew you were messing right away. The issue came later.

Oh, good.
I didn't even notice, guess the below comment was how I probably felt lol.

I think the boat was longer/bigger than what should have been on the trailer, hence the rear breaking first, but I wouldn't doubt poor maintenance played a part as well.

Well then maybe you will get a great deal, can I borrow it next lol.
