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,

Granted, those folks do have the best equipment for getting the job done but it can be accomplished with a bit of will power and a lot of strength.
QUOTE Here are a couple of pictures from a few years back. Dan would drop the trees, buzz off the brush and cut up the limbs into fire wood chunks. Then I would pile up the fire wood, brush for mulch and then load the fire wood after the truck was backed up to it. Then Dan would strap the log to the back of the truck and we would pull it to the log pile, then unload the firewood...then back out for more. We did this for several months. By the time we were done, the land owner had PLENTY of firewood and over 50 logs for future building. Amazing what just Dan, myself, a chain saw, and a beat up Blazer got done that year in 4 months. That land owner had so much fire wood that year, he was able to sell several loads not counting what was used for firewood on his property. Is it time to fall some trees again yet?! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
