I feel like Zap, I'm cutting trees off the trails we put in & dragging them to camp for firewood. Lots & lots of down trees, some solid, but most are punky. Using a Dennis style dray to drag them to camp then css. Hope to be done with most of the noisy chainsaw work , now we can start hunting. Splitting is a good moose call.
Dedication to what you love.......perfect. Good luck on the hunt......you need another set of antlers for the shed.
Nice set up , it's work but fun . It will all be gooder when the moose is on the dinner plates , moose is good stuff
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I could use something like that @ my SIL's in certain situations. Taste like chicken?
Plan to make one similar for cutting in Oct. It works well, can haul more & keep the wood cleaner. Moose camp area is more level than the wood cutting area, I'm hoping I can make one that'll work on uneven ground.
Not so sure , this one I used 2"x3"s & 3/4" plywood , rolling the bigger green logs up 4" & on is tough without a cant hook. Have thought about some way to make fold down side 2x4s (2 each side) for ramps & also hold the logs on when folded up. Maybe a heavy duty hinge then bungee them in the up position. ? Only need to be 18" or so.
Yea I've seen 20 or 30 burls in this area. More than any woods I can remember. Some neat looking ones. Not sure why so many in this area. Have thought about getting a couple but then how to load & haul back in a jon boat. Maybe cut in the summer, gps/flag them, go back in during winter with a snow machine & sled to get them out. Being in the middle of nowhere, up a shallow slough, with no bridges or roads, make getting them out a challenge. A " Bridge to nowhere " becomes a "bridge to somewhere" only after it's built.
