Here’s some pictures of my country I took on the way to the nearest town to do some shopping (65 miles one way). Not very good pictures,just used my phone
Pics look fine to me. Is that what you were telling me about Sandhillbilly? I really feel for you now that ive seen the picks.
I would be one of those people bulldozerjoe. VERY impressive pile of splits! What do you estimate the cordage to be?
when its all said and done i figure around 100 face cord....... im going to stack it in my basement... not all of it but it will give me a idea, than if i can get all that maple split this year i plan on building a lean too...... lean too is going to have to be where the maple sits.... i measured it out to day,,,,, around 26 foot long with 3 8 foot bays and still indecision but maybe 20 deep..... ill stack some wood in there but mostly to put my stuff in..... iv got alot of suff....
Yes that’ It. Only real firewood trees around are in a couple river valleys or ones that were planted for shelter belts and windbreaks for cattle and homesteads & ranches years ago. Plus the ones in the towns. ...Elbow room? Wrap your mind around this! The town we went shopping in today is North Platte (population 24,700) 65 miles south of me. There’s one town in between me and there (population 305). The next town north of me is also 65 miles away with a population of 2,700. That’s 130 miles from Valentine to NP passing only two towns with combined population of 516 hardy soles
Bigger is always better bulldozerjoe , especially with a lot of "stuff" Friend of mine built a four car garage a few years back and only two cars fit. No wood in it either!
i googled it and learned something new. Always learning on the forum! Looks like youre in a special FHC category all its own Sandhillbilly Ill feel guilty the next time i pass on a scrounge. (which i did last weekend)
Lol, actually what you’re seeing right at the horizon probably is the West edge of the Halsey national forest. It totals about 96,000 acres with about 1/3rd of it being trees. The timbered part was all hand planted back in civilian conservation corps days. Various types of pines, lots of ponderosa. Now days the western red cedar is taking over. The forest service has done a couple controlled burns this spring, somewhere around 10,000 acres I’ve heard. It’s mostly leased out for grazing by local ranchers. Also has the oldest tree nursery in the forest service and the largest seed bank. They have seeds from all over the country so they can replant national forests with seeds that actually came from the same forests.
See there my tech skills suck. Just replied in a quote and don’t know how to fix without retyping it all
There wasn’t any buffalo here either. No grass for em back then. Was still all sand dunes except in the low valleys and wet meadows
Don't worry billy as I bet joe don't mind one bit. Good on you guys over there and check out this duck that promised everything till he got in. Ford government cancels ‘expendable’ program that sought to plant 50 million trees in Ontario
