Went out into the Nat'l Forest last weekend. Cut a load of mostly CA Black Oak (hence my user name). Generally only found some smaller broken off branches, 8" max probably. A lot of bending over and cutting to size w/ my 20# saw makes for a workout on the back. I think I'll build me a folding cross buck to take along. This is for next year or the year after depending on the burn rate this winter.
Was a cold day cutting but it was good to get out again. Permit expires here in a couple weeks or so. Probably won't cut out there again till Spring.
