Smack in the middle, with the bark starting to separate.
Once, and I refuse to ever do it again. I tore up my yard and woods trails badly one year because I needed (not wanted) to move firewood. I...
I use Stihl denim chainsaw pants. Had them professionally hemmed and wear them with red suspenders so I look like a hillbilly. Haven't dinged...
Our Scout troop is supposed to be camping in the southern Adirondacks in a couple of weeks. Looks like we'll need to bring summer gear rather...
I have one of the Timber-Tuff versions that they sell at TSC. I need to get another. I like mine a lot and use them all the time. Takes a...
I do, but I don't have any of those ex$pen$ive attachments such as a grapple or forestry winch. I have a bucket, forks and a carry-all. No...
I posted in a thread "3-year plan" back in November about how our land (technically, my father's property) was going to be logged for red oak...
I have planned vacations around equipment rentals in the past. I compile a list of required tasks, find out what kind of machine I'll need for...
I hoard biomass and organics. Wood chips, leaves, compost, horse manure, grass clippings. I compost all of my own and collect from others as...
I like my tractor but I would add a forestry winch and a grapple. Also would replace the tires and rims with tracks, and make it wider and a bit...
I have never encountered a dealer who refused to sell me parts. Any kind of dealer, either, be it automotive, tractor or small engine. You make...
I don't really have a shoulder season. With an OWB, I have to burn 24/7 to maintain domestic hot water. Heat is secondary. So during times when...
I'm thinking a nice salad, maybe with some kale or quinoa. What's a "super bowl"?
I wish I could get that far ahead. Maybe when I retire.....
Another vote 'yea' for the Countyline bar oil. All I've been running for several years. I have a few gallons stockpiled but I go through a...
I've got silver maple in my woods, they're huge. I'm trying to eliminate them as they tend to break off in windstorms and create a big mess. I...
The local station sells "off-road" diesel and "on-road" diesel, whatever that happens to be. I use the "off-road" diesel which is dyed red. I...
For me, osage orange tops my list, followed by Douglas fir, pecan, almond and madrone. All stuff I can't get around here. I am happy to be in a...
I have all my wood mixed up in the woodshed, but I am separating out the locust for the really cold nights we're inevitably gonna get before Spring.
I like box elder, it's a soft maple and burns nicely when dry. Don't care for the branching habit or the smell of it, but it generally will end...
