My youngest wanted to cut down his first tree, guess we got one more... I must be 4 years ahead now. Big wood year for me. Will need to take one more quad trip for the rest of it. Hopefully find a UTV for next year. 5 mins on the quad or 40 mins one way in the truck.View attachment 332060
If you have a hitch on that thing look around on Marketplace for a wagon increases your carrying capacity a ton.

I'm very happy if i have 2 years worth stacked by the start of each burning season. Most of the wood that is plentiful here is good and dry by October if split and stacked by April.

I don't have a lot of trees left to drop, so I'll probably just order a truckload of firewood logs, probably spring 2026 when I run out of what i already have. One truck load is probably not quite 2 years of wood for me. So if I also drop a tree or two I should have plenty for the 26-27 and 27-28 seasons.

I have thought about that, I do have a 6'x4' trailer I use around the property, but I'm out of standing dead down here and am venturing up the mountain a bit more for standing dead. I could muscle a trailer up, but I'm sure I would roast the vintage quads brakes on the way down. I'd like to take the dog in a UTV as well.
