    I have read about that sometime or another. Great post..
    Mostly pine spruce and alder so I read.

    As of 2017 The oldest oak tree in Norway is 1000 years of age. Crazy

    Long tall & solid. Now I got a bunch of IBC totes, so I'm going for the leoht look as time goes on. I'm not long or tall, but I'm still pretty solid in a chubby sort of way.:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:. As for my character, I'll leave that to others to determine by how I've treated them.

    I've got neat stacks, and big tall mountains. It just depends where they are, and when they'll be used.

    There's no shortage of wood. That's what my wife would say.

    I use IBC totes for my firewood now. I just brought 24 more home on Friday, and need to go back and get 6 more they want to get rid of.

    This is one of our sheds. Most are empty. Guess I need side support, that's where the hunny comes in. IMG_20181227_145021540.jpg
    We are being frugal this year, using pallet boards and shorts/chunks. IMG_20181204_131311846.jpg IMG_20180830_095111162.jpg

    None of my stacks are freestanding, they are all supported by brackets and 2x4's.
    So... lack of confidence? IMG_20181209_3443.jpg
    It suits my processing method. I scrounge a little wood at a time, split a little at a time, and stack a little at a time. I think of them as bookshelves that gradually fill up.

    Based on this list, I probably fall into "a lot of wood"...I think. Does a 5 year supply count as a lot?
