Well I have been eyeing some downed wood at the beginning of my neighborhood. So decided to go and get some of it today. Im pretty sure its tulip poplar but feel free to correct me if needed. Obviously I have still not gotten a truck yet. Really slows down the scrounging.
There are so many wrong ways you could go with this thread at I am just going to stick with that's some nice big wood you have in your trunk.......
Confucius saw the pictures Your Fortune cookie says: "Man need small trailer" "Man with small trailer, won't stuff trunk"
Hey it may have been a 1/4 mile from the house. Trust me im sure all the neighbors were very weirded out by the chainsaw weilding man in the woods
"weirded out by the chainsaw wielding man in the woods"- Strap on a hockey mask, that should be fun! As far as the wood- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populus- Once dry, it burns fine. edit- Aspen is in the same category. Just loaded 4 N/S, with 3 E/W on top. I'm good to go until tomorrow night.
Kind of like the guy on the construction site I was on about 15 years ago with a S10 truck. He wanted the about 4' diameter by 6' long granite boulder loaded in his truck to take home. So the excavator operator loaded it in the bed for him. It was about a 6 month old truck that was quickly folded in half. I still remember the operator saying "you're sure you want that in your truck. Ok I'll put it in there for you."
Id hate to think how long it would take me to gather just the 2-3 cords that I burn a year, like that !!
Back in 1974 I started out with a 1969 International Scout. You couldn't get much in the bed of it either, but I got 'er done'. Oh, and my 12 in. Poulan. I was poor and all I could aford. But I was young and it didn't seem to matter. My family was warm and I provided for them no matter what.
I mean if all I had was a car I think id get a trailer. Even if it was one of those harbor freight ones that I fabricated sides for.
