Good Scrounge Today

[1600classic]

We got lucky and had an offer to go and collect a couple of Douglas Firs from a private party. There were some 4 foot across rounds, but all were bucked up to 16-18 inchws and the owner provided the use of a 37 ton splitter. Sweet deal, probably the easiest 4 cords I ever scrounged up.

Wow. 4 foot diameter seems rather large. Is that common out there?

Hell of a deal. Get that split & stacked, then give it a year or better, and you've got yourself some firewood. If you find it's just all too much for you to handle, you're welcome to drop some off down here. %-P Rick

Maybe you've never seen how Pines, Firs, Larches, and other trees grow out here in the Wild West...? Rick

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Yes, out there are some really big trees. That was a great find indeed.

Great scrounge plus the use of a splitter, did you get any pictures? :zip:
