I'm back at it again hauling large loads of firewood again...

(Myself on the left and James on the right)

One of those last minute runs to the woods to pick up a load. We had rode the ATV up the day before and looked around and found several places for firewood. But I was wanting to get some red fir for the pile so out came the saws and start bucking up rounds. I got a tidbit of video I got to process out later on... But I had to share my of use and our prize for the evening...

Get back to work! I just put in 25 hours saturday/sunday. Welfare is starting to look pretty appealing

There is a trick to it though. As you get more wore out/sore, leverage is key. We did a whole bunch of pipe fitting and by the end of the day I was using a 4ft pipe wrench to tighten 1/2" lines lol. I didn't see the need to tighten real good with a small wrench when I could just let the big one drop, tightening it without any effort from me.

So ISX, you were handling "the big tool" most of the weekend then right??!!!

So it was a normal weekend then.

--- Update to the previous post...

I'm suppose to write down how much wood on the permit and the date and time...

As for me I pull another load last night and I'm quiting for the time being. I'm phyiscally screwed up now. My lower back is sore, my left ankle giving me crap, etc... So As for my firewood hauling it completed for the moment. Time to relax let the wood dry in these 90-100*F temps. While the wood is drying it give me a chance to heal up a bit.

So, in essence, it is an "honor system"...........unless a man with a badge shows up while your cutting or at your ranch where you've go 15cords, but only paid for 2!!!!

Mike - how you guys get those 500+lb cross-sections into the truck, let alone, stacked that high?

What if I had a trade with someone for wood? What if I purchased wood from another person? What if I harvested from 2 different forests? There is no way to account for what is here on the property and what I've harvested or or purchased.

Simple we lift them on the truck together as a team.

No problem... But I've been asked that a few times like I explain to everyone how do you tell if... Your so right... I shouldn't have to have permit I shouldn't have to pay for firewood... I shouldn't be cleaning up the USFS mess they caused... Time to get off the soap box...
