    You would come in handy in the woods.

    My wood cutting buddy is built like you and can get some serious work done.

    I would if it wasn't for my awesome desk job. I live for this stuff these days.

    Grew up on the farm pitching hay and stacking firewood. It's like farming my own land. :tree::D

    I consider myself fortunate when it comes to on the ground work, I'm a low rider at 5'3" :D

    True story!! :rofl: :lol:

    IMG_0943.JPG IMG_0941.JPG

    I did indeed have around 10 FHC friends over one weekend, and try as they might, my stacks remain stacked. :smoke:

    Another funny story - I haven't burned a stick of that firewood yet (this thread was from 3 years ago.) I'm probably going to give half of that locust to my brother in law. I don't burn that much of it - I prefer to mix it with lesser woods when I do. A full load of that stuff is too much for my place even when it's sub-zero.
