Todays scrounge.
Today I finished up the snag I tipped high and dry on the stump a few days ago with the exception of the top. Witch I left fir a neighbor.
This is the fifth load I've hauled off that snag.

After offloading load five. I went back and tipped another snag across a stump high and dry. Fire scorched dry, chard, and the top 1/3 section sheared off by wind. This snag STIHL broke across the stump upon impact, but it STIHL kept it up off the ground good enough fir me to buck a load out of the center section that was blocking my trail. Though chard black on more than 65% of the surface. This stick is beautifully sound, dry, and ready to burn!

Got the first load in this fire chard snag loaded and hauled out of the woods right before dark. Daylight hours in AK are not long this close to the winter solstice! Also, as you can see in the pictures. The wind has been out of the south and east the last few days and the temperature is warmer this week compared to seven days ago. All the snow is melting and turning to slush. It will probably freeze again in a few days and turn it all into ice. Welcome to Kodiak Island winters!
