I have some sweet sawlog timber, dead in my swamp... and in an adjoining property owners swamp... unless it gets all droughty next summer, they'll rot out in place....

There's always easier firewood logs somewhere...

Yeah you might be right. I guess I'll have to weight the effort against the prize. It's such a nice big tree, freshly fallen, and in good shape. I never see those where I could reach them!

wow what a great thing that logrite..

as for the horses, don't be afraid to ask, and let them say no if they need to, but some people love to give their horses a workout, esp if they are training them for pulling contests..

Start cutting fire wood where you can haul it away. When you get a road to the beech tree, you can cut on it. It may take you a winter or two to get the path cut, but all you wanted was wood to burn, and that would solve your problem.
