Yesterday we passed a pile of pine right down the road, so we went back and asked what they were doing with the wood. They said we could have it. 10 standing dead scotch pine, all down and partly bucked. Grabbed a few loads but had plans so we went back this morning. We were bucking it down and loading when they came back-and took down three more! Took a few hours, but we've added 13 beetle kill pines to the scrounge stack. Nice and dry too, very light. We could proably even burn this next season.
AND they have at least 10 more to take down later too. Ours for the taking.
Here's the scrounge pile for this year-started Chistmas eve. It's about 5' high in the middle and at least 20' long. Gonna be busy come sping!
