Heard your voice in the back of my head this afternoon Mike when I took down this standing dead white birch. I was getting ready to buck it when I...
53-55 face cord...nothing wrong with that inventory!
The trailer is sitting at the trail entrance (on private property). I'll have to go over with the truck and utility trailer at some point to bring...
Got out this morning to finish up that red maple I had started to work on the other day. Barely got in the woods and my trailer decided to finally...
I realize that for an eight-foot base the calculation would be using 16, not 25. The 25 was just an example for a 10-foot high HH with a 10' base...
I've been debating on building a HH for the last few years and since I have around 3 cords of red oak (about half was CSS last December), I think...
Best one and it was a mule deer I bagged in Colorado back in 2013. I was up on the cliff in the background, and it was roughly a 125-yard shot....
Not ATV-related but I guess the firewood gods were smiling down on me today. The day after I mentioned that there were no easy scrounges so far...
It seems like none of the scrounges recently have been easy, but as you said, the difficult ones are more rewarding in the end. The trip back down...
It was definitely a good workout. Not sure if I hit a rock yesterday however I noticed the chain was not great when I felled the tree. Ended up...
I always see where people say they like pictures, so here's a few from today's ATV scrounge. Went out this afternoon to tackle a red maple that...
It's deceiving from the pictures however there is a lot of water around...still at the tail end of the snow melt-off. Unfortunately though, with...
The plan is that the firewood I'm scrounging now is for the 24/25 season at the earliest and ideally for the 25/26 season. However, it's nice to...
Another decent afternoon scrounging on the ATV. Went out to take down a standing dead white birch I had spotted last fall however it was too...
Decent weather today so I was able to get back out this afternoon and buck up the stuff I had dragged to the trail the other day. Ended up with...
I feel your pain as I've been told the same thing as long as I can remember. Finally even put it on a M/C tag years ago (wanted Grumpy however NH...
Yeah, a 2500-pound winch will only pull so much and it really depends on the weight of your rig and the mounting point of the winch (I've seen...
Do you have access to a winch? Most vehicle-mounted electric winches have between 100-150 feet of cable or synthetic rope. You could probably keep...
There is definitely a good mix of trees on the property. The area closest to my home has a ton of hardwoods and with the winds we have here...
I've been posting some ATV scrounges on other threads over the last couple years but figured it was time we had our own.
