I heard that the FHC stealth drone has been following him. Rumor has it, that's its remote control and being operated somewhere in Pennsylvania.
If he wears his tinfoil hat that would interfere with the radio signal from the drone. This could cause BRAD to start hoarding pine.
15 miles to my best friend's place to process wood. If it's a full load I would go 30-40 miles 1-way for good wood. Maybe a little further for locust.
I try to stay inside a half hour one way. Longer trips add exponentially to the cost of gas. I have gone an hour for at least a cord of hardwood, but it has to be guaranteed exclusively all mine with no chance of competition. The more you can haul, the more miles you can justify per trip. My small trailer behind the car will carry 1/3-1/2 cord. My truck will carry a full cord, and my bigger trailer will carry 2 full cord. If I really wanted to work, I'd take the truck and big trailer and fill both. I have a wagon running gear that will carry 1-5 cord, depending on how far I stretch it out for whole logs. It's still in the works, but when it's done, it'll save me a ton of time and work just getting the wood home. I would drive over an hour for a multi-cord load of good wood. It's all about scale. I don't like to go more than 15 minutes one way with my little trailer. It takes the same amount of gas to haul 1/3 cord with the car conpared to a full cord or more with the truck. I hauled almost 7 cord last month with my little trailer, 1/3 cord at a time. That's 21 loads. I could have done it in 2-3 trips with the truck/trailer, but the truck was in the shop. The wood was only 1.5 miles from the house, so it wasn't too bad. It gave us time to take breaks and the trailer is very easy to load (flop the pieces on a low deck) compared to the truck where you have to lift them 7 or 8 feet from the ground to the top of the stack. (The truck bed is about 3 ft off the ground and the stack in the bed can be 5 ft high) The wagon is getting a hoist to lift the logs. That should make it pretty easy. I will drive longer distances for already cut wood and wood I can drive right up to, because I don't like toting wood. A friend of mine is 70 years old and somehow finds wood that is 1-200 yards away from his trailer and he has to tote it. I told him it's not even worth it to me if I have to tote it more than about 30 feet. I have a 200 ft rope and block if I need to snake logs out. I'll pull em right to the truck/trailer so I don't have to tote em. I broke my back 20 years ago and learned real quick how to work smart.
