    So here I am scrounging in the government woods again.

    A good load of several year dead red oak. A few small pretty dry dead standing white oaks.

    Good news is I think there is enough for a decent load tomorrow, maybe not as big as this one but worth coming back for.

    Oh and I have a few more inches till I am on the bump stops in case you were worried. IMG_20150131_173726_753.jpg

    You could always put a front hitch on and make/ buy a hitch haul apparatus to even the load out( and haul even more). Lol

    What ever I randomly cut! I try to get 16" but there are 14" to about 18-20" I am sure.

    Kills me to see saws packed like that. Aren't you afraid they'll fall off?
