1st trip to the cutting area (is a bust)

Fell 2 trees, limed, cut to 6 logs & was skidding them out.
Last 2 logs, "flat tire" on the ATV.

Walked beside it to get them to the truck,. Bucked , loaded & headed to the tire shop
Got a tube, installed it at home. To late to head back out.

Was 24° this am. Forecast to be clear for a few days. Good work temps.
Hop to get out for a full load tomorrow.
Snow in some places on the trail, got to 43 today, guessing some if it will melt.

 

Looks good. Nice set up on the quad...what kind of pick up. Wow snow already. They say it's going to be bad this year. I guess the FHC been waiting for this weather..stay warm and be safe..nice looking logs...

 

That's sucks, next time will go better
I kept having flats because of thorns on my little trailer , so I put slime tubes in it, no flats since then

 

I hate equipment failures! Great pictures and it looks like it was a nice day to be out and about.

 

Hey Dave can I get a better pic of that quad hitch? Im trying to do something similar. Sorry to hear about the flat sucks.

 

I pulled about 30 cords out today.... Hehahe.

I have that lot on KGB if Gala if that is closer? Couple nice birch, let me know and I'll let the land owner know.

Thanks,
May take you up on it, lots of birch ?
How far past Settler's bay ?

Old cutting are is slim picking's for birch, got a load today but had to search hard.
There's a new opened area in about another 1/2 mile, will check it out tomorrow.

 

Got a load, had to really search for good birch. Area was picked over this summer pretty good.

Pic on the way in this morning :


Couple pics,
Cutting skidding & loading:

 

Looking good Dave that's better, did you fill the trailer?

 

Yea,
Was getting dark,
Thought about a pic, then forgot,
drove home, ate then went out & unloaded it in the dark.

You all know how tired you feel after felling, bucking, skidding , loading & off loading a cord of heavy wet wood, right?
Well I feel that tired x2
Though it's the good tired/sore feeling

Saw , trailer, atv , truck all worked well today, I was the weak link today . LOL

 

Well just think how tired you would be, to get that amount of wood, if you did not have your process setup as great as you do

 

Thanks
Keep thinking I'm getting to old for this stuff
but even as tired as I feel, I had a fun day

 

I keep thinking that too, but don't say that!! you might have to buy wood from nate

 

Got a little cold last night & this morning :

To be another clear sunny day.
Gonna try to get another load today, need
to keep my water in a cooler to keep it thawed
