Last weekend was a big sky weekend Around 12F and not much wind so off to the woods we went ! Fired up the MF135 and hitched a free trailer that we redecked then headed to a pile wehad winched and stacked last winter . We blocked and split 2 loads on Saturday . Sunday , another big sky day so off we went again !
We had time for another load so we took down some dead standing within carryout distance . We got that all hauled to to the pit where we store our wood for next year or even later's burning . This Saturday was another big sky day , again around 12F This time we only had a few hours so we spotted some dead tops within carry distance so we opted for that The pile has grown No blackflies , skeeters , snakes or drop bears were seen for miles
Such beautiful country. You should have to pay to go out there and cut firewood. Absolutely goergeouse. Chief
Thanks ! Here's the best part I have a key to the gate The nice thing about the temps being around 20F and colder a fella is actually drier , snow doesn't melt on your glover or mittens . I find that when the temps are damp and 35F or snowing and 27F be the worst .
And only 2 of us that have permission actively cut on this large plot of land . A hurricane blew through here years ago , it was mostly clearcut and then a forest fire so the picking are not super great but we can cut all the dead tops/standing and blowdowns so we've got plenty for 3 families I love windstorms and porcupines lol
Most of us on FHC are living the dream. I like me some frozen ground and snow to keep the wood clean.
