Really, Really Old School…
Sunday, I had the displeasure of having a 200 foot tree go down in my yard, and part-way onto my neighbor’s yard. So, I got the chainsaw out, and proceeded to cut said tree into 14 inch wide logs (Some were a good 2 foot thick). Then, I got to take these logs, carry them down 50 yards on a 70 degree downhill slope, and over another 30 yards to stack them. That’s a lot of trips with some heavy logs. It took six hours and at one point, I had even stopped sweating. Today, nearly every muscle and joint in my body aches. And, by the way, all of this was done solo, with no helpers.

That’s sweet! I finally got a farm truck because we burn wood as our primary heat source and the trees that we burn are down a 300′ 40 deg’ hill! Just walking up that winds me. I’m jealous of all that wood, sorry to hear it sounds like you didn’t need it but on the good side it didn’t hit anyones homes or injure anyone. Gotta’ love the Rocky work out! LOL!!
