Problem # 1 : Running low on firewood.
Problem # 2 : unwanted trees encroaching on pasture.
Took a few hours today, dropped 4 trees, limbed, crosscut, dragged brush into treeline, hauled logs to house furnace.

7/ result of this morning's chainsawing: 8' wide by ~ 3' tall by 4' deep = ~ 96 cubic feet. 3/4 of a cord, for just a few hours work. Not bad at all!pic.twitter.com/osAAFMpqZo

8/ LOL, I guess it's true. Still way too fat, despite 75 lbs lost last year. More to do on the weight loss front, but I'm strong enough for typical farm chores. https://twitter.com/TomasOfThePines/status/1224758870821699584 …

11/ Loaded the last of this into the boiler just now. 6 hours logging = 12 days house heatinghttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1225116086263328769?s=19 …

12/ Good question! Rule of thumb is that one can harvest 1 cord per acre per year sustainably. A forester says I can pull even more, given local details. I burn ~20 cords per year, and have 40 acres of forest. So, yes, easy peasy sustainable.https://twitter.com/JASutherlandBks/status/1227588599052480513?s=19 …

13/ HOWEVER, some of the forest is hard to reach and log w the equipment I've got, so...more research needed.

Possible uses for excess timber: guitars! I just finished assembling this one, though I can’t claim to have cut or shaped it myself. Good to have goals though.
