    Figured I would throw together a video of me getting all this wood out of the woods. Hard but rewarding work, especially when I will be warm and toasty next winter. Going back tomorrow to load it on the trailer and drive it to my house. Only.04 of a mile down the road! :tree: Then I will take a day or two off then start splitting and stacking. I have to build a new storage rack/pallet for this quick drying wood.

    ENJOY!

    That was cool.
    Gotta' ask though......why not load 2-3 of those large rounds in the cart at a time?
    What did you use to do the stop action?

    That's some nice looking firewood. Going to split pretty well for you too.

    It seemed like it would have been a hassle. them rolling and shifting in the cart. I used my gopro camera took a time lapse, a picture every 30 seconds. Wish I would have done one every 15 seconds but oh well.

    A 2 wheel dolly works great for the larger rounds. ;)

    I like the wider wheel base models.

    That is a lot of WORK. Much more of that lifting and your back will be talking to you. Lots of really good wood, but you worked hard for it. That wood is the wood that warms you more than once.

    I've had rounds do that in the wheelbarrow. Makes for an interesting roll.

    At a frame every 30 seconds it would look like I'm just walking, at a very slow pace. I really need to get off of my behind more.:emb:

    My old career was hard, hard work and my new job is so boring and slow. I miss my old job and working hard to make an honest buck. So I work hard and bust my butt outside of work. Keeps me honest and going strong!

    Yea I dont know who was responsible for cutting these trees down. Scary stuff, there is a beech still hung up on another tree. I could probably get 3 more beech trees and an ash out of there if I want. I did 3 beech a red oak and I think a small silver maple.
