Loaded truck pics.

That's a heavy load!

 

I'm hoping for 5 + cords. The logs are pretty dry so it was 15,000lbs or better.

Thank you

 

I would say it's closer to 6 or 7. But we don't load 10 wheel trucks around here but that's what I always heard they held. And I did think the bark looked a little loose and like they had sat for several weeks

 

The first load I got everything was cut into 16' lengths. I ended up with 5.3 cords. The second log I got was a mess. There was some stuff as short as 6'. It is looking like I am going to end up with 4 cords out of. I need a little over 5 cords to do good on it. This last load was very full as you could see by the pic. It was all stuff the mill would not take. The wood was cut into 9' lenghts, so I go 18' instead of 16' like I got on the first. The bad thing is there are some hollow logs but I am hopeful that it will work out good since it was such a full load and the wood was longer.

 

How's this:

 

Yep that is a loaded truck for sure. Wow

 

That looks like a 40 yard roll off dumpster full. Nice pic.

 

Yeah the driver/owner of the truck used one of them thare technical terms, "overloaded", whatever that means. Next trip he only gave me a 30 yarder rather than the 40.

 

Figured Id throw a picture in this thread myself.
got done squirrel hunting one morning and wnet back and pulled up a bunch of "fat lighter" stumps for kindling

 

Dude where do you live? PM me if you like. That house looks familiar and maybe even your truck look familiar? And I saw that trailer. I have the exact same one. Guy builds them in upstate. Mine from anderson!

 

He PM'D me. And yep I know exactly where that house is. And it's in a random spot too, not just anyone would know where That place is!!!

And Cur that's a lifetime of lighter, you burn straight lighter pine in a firepit? Haha

 

Oh no. I guarantee you we don't burn near the amount of wood as most people on here. I just can't pass the stuff up. I remember the first time my daddy ever showed me what a lighter drum was. We were squirrel hunting and he showed me a big one ( broke off a piece and let me smell it). We went back a few day later and cut it up and brought it home.

Seems like I been dragging home any piece I could find ever since

 

I use to do it, but I started to get a huge pile and I have a wood stove that stays lit for weeks at a time and I only use a few tiny pieces to get the stove started each time so my pile doesn't deplete much. I have learned to pass it up now.

 

This winter, I need to figure out how to sell some of what I have stocked up.

 

I thought about that but couldn't see a place for me to sell it. Need a big city with lots of folks that don't know anything. Most of what I pick up now is old longleaf from the sandhill . I like the trees with like 6 to 8" diameter heart where all the other has rotted away. I cut it like firewood rounds and take it home. Makes pretty kindling splits.

 

Still blows my mind. If I stacked oak like that I'd be sitting on the axle!!

 

I did that a few months ago and the oak was wet, I was about an inch from the axle......This is tamarack.
