    Hey bobdog, my dog is autumn and shes a great dog, best ive had. She loves being in the woods with me.

    NYcountry, I have 20 ac in southern Indiana. In terms of firewood, I think I am two years ahead about but that's mostly because the winter here has been so mild. I havnt bunt much this year.

    Stinny, that little tractor always suprises me with what it can do.

    Is that a Pin Oak? Whatever it is, it is a big one. Welcome to the forum.

    Hey Jack, I wash my chaps and saw shirt after every time I go out in the woods. I read somewhere that the bar oil can break down the fibers reducing the effectiveness of the cut retardant material.
