    I decided to get one load of Birch tonight (White?) we still have what's hung up and the limb in the last picture along with some smaller stuff on the ground.

    Not sure the birch species, wish we had some though. Beautiful night to cut, in that last pic, is that hanger over a small cliff? Looks like good stuff from here!

    Good work woodlands. How have the bugs been? Seeing many ticks?

    Is It possible to strap it up to the sidexside and pull it down or too heavy? Ive been getting good use of the grizzly pulling back bunches of branches.

    From here that looks like Yellow Birch, which is very high on the BTU charts.

    Good to get that big section down Woods. How long had that been hung up there? Didn't look like it had much holding it.

    It kinda looks like yellow Birch to me as well but its hard to say as I don't have a ton of experience with Birch. Either way its still good stuff.
