    Will you have to rake up any mess there? I know where there is a young lass that might be of some assistance with that!

    York rake into piles. Save some for kindling rest get thrown in compost..
    yeah she would do it on tractor or 4 wheeler if told her to rake by hand she would get her boyfriend and a few friend to help probably 2 acres

    I still don’t know if that’s lazy or working smart

    That is a lot of wood and work, good to have help as it makes it much quicker.
    I cut alone all the time but last week a friend helped me cut some, so much quicker, i need more friends. LOL

    A lil of it’s barter, one 25 year yo hunts up here.. he calls it his game preserve membership

    Some with kids live on 1 acre lots in town, teaching kids to be outside off phone

    another is essential and going through divorce ex has to work from home so on his days off he brings kids here. Divorce should be final but courts are closed so temp order says stay as they are

    my neighbors have 1500+ acres I have only road access over swamp, which when their loggers select cut as part of govt program for healthy forest I give them access through my driveway over swamp.. they let me maintain logging trails for wheelers snowmobile etc etc. one of their grandkids was cutting

    Really not hard to stay 6 feet apart on 50 acres

    I always leave it better than it was and make sure others do also. You know the way things should be

    Yeah, I hear you about trying to eliminate the stack, move, restack thing. I think there's at least another step or 4 I'm missing, but I'd like to not think about that.


    Nice work! Gotta love it when you get stuff done without having to work hard or at all.

    Loon said he’d give him up.. lady needs a lil brother.
    I am pushing 50 and never had my own dog. When my mom came down with cancer I took her dogs, when my wife moved in, she came with two dogs. One of the kids in town had to move, an an old Husky this was his retirement home.. so a lot of rescues.. I really think I want a black lab/rotti. Mix. Lady is getting older 9? And needs to train some youngster
