I used to ,but now the forest service gives you the map and you spend more in fuel just trying to find a few dead trees within a mile from the roadI go up on the mountain and cut it myself like a real man. mtmuley
Yes- I sent you a phone number, he is on vacation this week , so be patientIs that timber from Baldy?
I've been trying to get a load or two of that but it always seems I'm a day late.
Love that fir.
Just kidding around. I do cut my own. Still enjoy it and it gets me in the hills more. Usually take a rifle or the pistols and make a day of it. mtmuleyI used to ,but now the forest service gives you the map and you spend more in fuel just trying to find a few dead trees within a mile from the road
You cheat !Here was mine last summer. Also 3 winters from a truckload. The only way to gather firewood.View attachment 143136
My back doesn’t think so. I also used to split it by hand, but I didn’t want to sound like the jp of woodcutting.You cheat !
The JP of woodcutting. Awesome. mtmuleyMy back doesn’t think so. I also used to split it by hand, but I didn’t want to sound like the jp of woodcutting.
There’s still a few 20” ers in there to wrassle around, and I still get to play with saw so plenty of ways to fowl up. I don’t have that many lives left so I’m glad to be out of the tree felling biz.
I am kidding...I use to enjoy cutting down the trees and making firewood and hauling it to Denver but now you can't burn wood due to to darn many of us living in a cramped space. Ah the good old days...were a lot more work but much more enjoyable. I really miss setting around a big camp fire. I wonder how long the Western Slope will be able to survive?My back doesn’t think so. I also used to split it by hand, but I didn’t want to sound like the jp of woodcutting.

Lodgepole mostly, Fir is a little tougher to get.Is Pine or Fir popular for firewood where you guys live? We usually try to get Alligator or Utah Juniper where I live. Maybe it’s because we have plenty here. We burn Pine, but not too much. On my trips to the low Desert, I sometimes get Mesquite.
It’s fun that you guys think about me so much. Kinda flattering.The JP of woodcutting. Awesome. mtmuley
We know of your prosperity, you tell us every chance you get.It’s fun that you guys think about me so much. Kinda flattering.
I use to heat with wood. Then I got a real job and could afford central heating. Good luck in your double wide this winter
wait until i tell you about air conditioning. it's going to blow your mindWe know of your prosperity, you tell us every chance you get.
don't let him fool you. its an ego thingNever understood the cost savings on having a truck deliver it to your house.
We live in an old log house, on a windy day when your sitting on the couch your hair blows around and as Eel says that dry heat feels goodIf we were rich, my wife would still have a wood stove. You can't beat the nice dry heat especially on cold rainy days. And she likes to heat water on the stove. Free hot water, I guess.
Doesn't take a man to cut firewood, lol.I go up on the mountain and cut it myself like a real man. mtmuley
i used to do it with a 8 and 9 year old girl as helpers. id take either of them over some blow hard in montana thats for sureDoesn't take a man to cut firewood, lol.
Not in a double wide bud. The blowhard comment made me laugh though. I have a wood stove and forced air. Weird you can have both isn't it? mtmuleyIt’s fun that you guys think about me so much. Kinda flattering.

Geez that is enough to start a wood mill don't you think Eel......it makes me feel warm all over when the logging truck pulls up to the house and unloads a big bunk of Fir for the next 3 coming wintersView attachment 143120View attachment 143121View attachment 143122
like I said, I live in an old log cabin; no insulation, my wife is from Southern California and likes walking around in a bikini with it 80 degrees in the house. So around 7 cords a seasonGeez that is enough to start a wood mill don't you think Eel......
What do you burn about 12 cords a winter

Gavin knows what’s best for us..We is Cali central valley aren't allowed to have a fire...land of the free....lmao
I hear ya, I used to live in a travel trailer when I was doing road construction here in Nevada. Never want to be cold again in my house. Pellet stove works greatI burn about 1.5 cords of juniper a year. Propane is over $4 a gallon.
I also lived in a 5th wheel for 6 years. I swore when I got my house built I wasn't going to sleep in a cold house again.

An honorable profession.Where I spent the better part of 31 years. It takes about 40 truck loads of logs a day to keep me busy.

What kind of wood is that?This has been my firewood deck for the past 40+ years. 7 miles from home.View attachment 143441View attachment 143442
Mostly Doug Fir,....or what I call it, Douglas Firbanks. Some White Fir and Hemlock.What kind of wood is that?
We need some redneck fire pit pictures.Sometimes it’s not just about heating the house. I have friends that have an outdoor fire pit in their backyard and it’s fun to kick back, hang out and eat and drink outside in the fall and winter. I used to think a fire pit in the back yard was a Hillbilly thing to do, but I like the idea now. At least you can be outside and use your yard more often with it. A few have a BBQ custom made that can take wood and we like Mesquite for those.
Looks like you got a couple of crib boards sitting there.I’m sorry, butt you can’t fully appreciate the abundance of nature in a bag of pellets. View attachment 143254
