@MustangMike those older escapes certainly had some mechanical issues but they were sure footed little guys. With standard car tires, my escape could out mud my suburban because it wouldn’t sink in the mud at all. Before they redid the road to my cabin, spring time was always treacherous and we buried the suburban a few times.
If they could have designed transmissions, exhaust manifolds, and hinges that could last, I’d buy another one of those.

No more fun today.....
I love moving snow from inside a cab!
I do have a digital depth gauge tool . . . .With a file or grinder, just like normal chains

White oak, pin oak, hedge, ash, and a stick of hackberry from yesterday’s scrounge:
At least I’m warm hard to hold the phone and plow https://www.instagram.com/tv/CKw2p5vgA-U/?igshid=13o6flghivlmn
Steve, my Escape was a 2010 with the Flex Fuel V-6 and 6 speed tranny. Other than an engine computer recall, and no mechanical issues with it at all ... over 9 years!
In the end, rust was getting the better of it underneath, so I traded it in on the F-150.
Conversely, my 2006 Mustang that goes in the winter is remarkably clean underneath! Go figure!

Done plowing time for one of my homebrews . Coffee chocolate porter and no the chocolate flavor isnt chocolate its roasted grain that lends a chocolate hint. The coffee on the other hand is organic whole bean hazelnut flavored with whole bean hazelnuts. No imitation flavors 
Nice logs.

.I think they make an Oregon versa bar in a small mount 24.

We use two trucks and the big loader to move the snow into piles. I get the joyless job of running the big Kubota with a erksine blower to send it into the woods. If we simply dump it over the fence, it freezes to the fence and pulls it down damaging the fence.....
I’ve sent many a object flying over that fence.....

Not sure that I misunderstood.
There are many posts in this thread that are completely off the topic of scrounging(wood anyway). While the thread started off as a way to gather ideas on where and how to gather wood, I feel it still holds tru to that ideal, although what is scrounging to one may not exactly be scrounging to another. I started reading/posting in here as a learning experience with a great group of guys and have continued to do that even though things have changed and I felt much the way I believe you did/do in regards to my scounges not being those others would be interested in. I also have a skidding winch although it's one on my tractor and not an actual skidder, just as a good number of the guys have in this thread, we enjoy seeing pictures of any equipment for harvesting wood no matter your "scrounging" situation. There are scrounges of wheelbarrow loads for outdoor fireplaces to scrounges with all out logging equipment, I enjoy hearing them all as they all have much adventure in them. Heck I posted pictures the other day of wood I hauled in from the woodshed, if it helps someone else who's getting started or someone who's been scrounging for yrs I'm glad it helps.
Post your pictures if you get a min and feel up to it or just type a post out.
Many of us have different beliefs in here and are in totally different situations, I think there's added value when it's such a diverse group, we would love to hear what you have to say.
My point was, don't just drop in and spout your opinions when you've added nothing to the conversation, and I believe that's how others felt as well. I know not everything I say is liked by all here, but they know I also am willing to give, so it seems they have at least tolerated me lol.
Yeah, I compared you to gunny, your last post in here many yrs ago sounded like something he could have said talking about underwear in a bunch or something
.I never thought you were on the JV team, but rather it seemed like you were the coach who came around right when we were going to win and then wanted to tell us how to do it
.Pretty open group of guys in here who I've learned a lot from, that's why I keep coming back.
If I did misunderstand your post I'm sorry.
I looked at that sideways for a min too, but not more than a min lol.
When I'm running searched on Craigslist one of the things that still get's me is "chainsaw" cases, I look thinking I wander what models saws, only to realize it's a case
.I would like one of those, preferably one not made in china, do you know of any.
My vernier calipers were bought at Aldis, they're made in Germany

We were at 6" on the ruler this morning, been snowing all day. I bet we're between 7-8" now. Loving it!! Only bummer is I'm a little under the weather. Wasn't 100% yesterday while playing in the woods, and felt worse after. Took the day off work for job #1, may take tomorrow off also.
Yeah, that freaking Carolina creeper vine followed me all the way out, LOL.
Will look for a bar, I was looking a Sugi but they are spendy.
