There are alot of things one must do to be safe when out cutting for firewood. One of the first things to do is to evaluate the area you will be cutting in.
This is a picture of CP showing our son a BIG HAZZARD someone left, that he spotted when looking around the property we are working on. Here is a picture of what the guys are looking at ........Can you see the hazzard? It's really easy to miss! Exactly why it is such a hazzard and could easily kill someone just wandering around not paying attention. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

While moving one of those huge chunks from the big tree, it rolled over and fell against my ankle.....ouch did that leave a mark! Steel toe shoes are good to have when out working but not helpful when it hits the side of your foot. I'm going to feel that one for a while!!
Here is a picture of a tree (with the Raven on it) that has Dwarf Mistletoe at the top of it. No, it's not the kind of Mistletoe that you kiss someone under at Christmas time. This mistletoe is a big tree killer in Colorado's forests. Click the link and you can learn more about it through the Colorado Forest Service site. Stay safe out there everyone!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
