I decided to throw up some pictures and information of the family and I gathering wood this year. We started in May and finished up Thanksgiving weekend. The two or three excursions in May got about 15 cord in between my house my moms and chopping blocks for my brother. We started with a big Sugar Pine.
First we rounded it into 16's.

Then we quartered the rounds and loaded them into my one ton to shuttle to the trailer.

The big sugar was still on the stump, and it was still a bit green. We couldn't fill the trailer to capacity but the loads were still at least 2.5 cords.

Here is us loading a big Ponderosa snag the easy way. The F.S. must have used it to re-certify someones saw card. We pulled up tight to the cut bank, made a ramp out of the side rack, and just rolled them right in. Easy getting.
