Trip to the ridge to start working on a big Alder that had come down some time ago. I was expecting it to be somewhat punky but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in great shape. First trip up I had taken an Echo 590 Timberwolf but found it had an extremely dull chain. Fortunately only a mile from the house so headed back and grabbed another Echo 590 and a Husqvarna 460. I ended up doing the cutting with the 590. Slow going with some rest breaks but it felt good to get in the woods again. I will take a winch up and pull some more of it out for easy access. Playing with a little drone is part of the fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was surprised at how great a shape it was in. It couldn't have been down that long. A link for alder info About Red alder | Tree Identification, Properties & Uses | Hardwood species | naturally:wood
Wow, you really got a burst of energy when you got to unloading Admire your tenacity to keep after the firewooding, do you hand split the chunks when you’re back home too?
