I suppose I am blessed, but I have a couple.
I burn seven to ten cords each year. In October I have a truckload of logs delivered. I get billed for five cords, looks like it is going to split and stack out to almost seven cords again this year. I am about 3/4 of the way through my pile of rounds now and am loading up to scrounge starting in the morning- looking for just enough to finish filling my seasoning racks. I have rack space to season ten cords each summer for next winter.
I will be driving my truck all day everyday until I am done scrounging about three cords.
I have my saw, my saw box, chaps and helmet in the truck, 1 gallon gas can in the truck bed.
When I find a log worth scrounging I pull over and scrounge it.
Once it is home I just buck it and put it with the other rounds.
I split on the nights after work there is no bucking to do.
It works for me to go stepwise. In October when the logs come I just buck and buck and buck on my tiny lot until my wife can park in the garage again and then keep on bucking until the buckling is done. Then rest a couple weeks, usually get on with splitting long about Thanksgiving or so working on splitting the wood that will season over the coming summer and burn next year.
