Took advantage of a second day of nice weather to go snag some free firewood!

These are all sections of trunk that were attached to root balls. The trees were mostly felled by high winds, and my partner already broke up the bulk of each tree (slash to the forestry yard, trunks broken up into nice even sections, dried for a bit, then split). But we still got almost another 1000lbs of wood today. And we're doing a bit to help prevent fires in the area too!

A truck bed filled with varying lengths and diameters of partial tree trunks. They're loaded in somewhat randomly, but there's about a cord of wood here (in pre-cut form). In the background a peaceful blue sky and tree tops arr visible over the cab of the truck.

Thanks to Trade Frames Direct of Bishop Auckland who always have a lot of waste wood that they don't want to put into a skip. It's about 50/50 hardwood and softwood.

Most of these windows were still glazed so I had a smashing time yesterday.

Old wooden window frames, a broken pallet and other bits of waste wood leaning against a bench in the yard. The byre is behind and, on right, a stone fire pit.

Picked up the rest of the two fallen birches from the bottom of the road. The parts not frozen to the ground anyways.

Lots more fallen and hanging trees to clean up.

The pile grows!

Been looking at a PTO shredder for the tractor to process the piles of branches I've been leaving everywhere. Good stuff when mulched. Less so when piled up in the forest. Burning is dumb.

There's a nice one from Poland:

Need a sponsor 😛

Small blue tractor with small trailer in the forest, loaded with some birch logs. The forest is thin birches growing in swampy soil near a river. There's lots of hanging trees visible and the sun shining low over the tops. Snow is on the ground, and a pile of branches behind the trailer.
A pile of split firewood in front of a barn. The evening sun is shining on it, casting it in a nice reddish light. The ground behind is covered with chips and sawdust.

I decided to make a longer #video ca 10 mins (editing is..fun..lol) Cutting #firewood in the #bush on a couple of recent #cold days
I make noise with tarps, crunch around on snow, use a chainsaw + wood splitting maul (big heavy axe- don't call it an axe..lol). Lots of ASMR some plain old noise + jibber jabber as I talk + pretty #forest views of frost crystals falling
Spectra to follow

A video thumbnail 1920w x 1080h landscape format. The image starts withf a photo of snowy woodland in the trees, framed with a wide white border, rounded edges on the inside-- but this image is barely seen. It is overlaid with three portrait format images side by side, each also framed with white rounded edge borders and with white vignetting around the edges. Left is a view of sun shining through trees in a snowy scene with frost crystals falling from the trees and catching the light. The word Frost in large white Impact font appears on this one. Centre is a picture of me with black hoody and faux furry hat- all dusted with snow, my black and silver framed retro glasses darkened by outdoor light, low moustache and chin beard mostly white so you don't see the frost that also lines my collar. The word Cold is on this image. Right is me seen from mid chest down, in black hoody and black Dickie work pants chopping wood- I'm using a large heavy yellow and black chopping maul (kind of axe) the wood to be split is placed on another wooden block ( short chunk of log standing on end); the maul has just split a piece of wood, with chunks flying to each side to join the small pile there. This one bears the word Wind. At the bottom of the image in white semibold font the words cutting firewood at -20C/-4f appear.

Picked up those two fallen birches from the bottom of the road (see previous photo).

No problems getting up the hill despite all the snow this time.

The small trailer is filled up pretty quick, this is just from two skinny birches and I didn't even get even get everything as there's another tree across that I need to pull off.

But I think trying the big trailer might be tempting fate.

Small blue tractor pulling a small trailer with wooden top. It's filled with snowy logs and branches. There's two chainsaws somewhere in there too. The valley floor is covered with snow and there's many slim trees with snow on their branches on the riverside.

Paying the heating bill.

Set up a nice firewood station now. The three-limbed stump makes a good log sawing stand.

Also rolled the old chopping block over there, shortened it a bit (it was too tall even for a tall person) and split the logs I collected from clearing the road.

The apple logs were in full sap (result of overly warm January) and frozen hard - the axe just bounced off. They'll have to thaw first.

Could use a slightly heavier axe.

A firewood processing area in a snowy surrounding. From the left there's a yellow chainsaw sitting on a large "cookie" slice from a big log. Then a rooted stump about 1.5m tall with three limbs as clamps. A small pile of logs. A large chopping block on top of which a log is being split by a steel wedge. An axe and large maul are on the ground next to it. A pile of logs and behind a pile of split firewood. Further, past a gate, a few debarked logs rest on steel trestles.

Finished processing that apple tree. Some nice fruit wood for making shashlikh, another length of log for sawmilling and another stupid pile of branches to be turned into useful mulch later.

Some knotty parts were hard to split and tried to steal my axe, so I cut the burr off this old (but very useful) steel wedge and rescued my axe with it.

Grinder ran out of battery, so no smooth finish.

A steel wedge clamped to a sawhorse on frozen ground. The wedge has a huge burr from someone beating the shit out of it with a big steel maul (that also has a matching burr). There's a hole near the rear for retrieval.
The same steel wedge, now with the burr cut off, stuck in the middle of a log that already has an axe stuck in it. A big pile of branches is behind and some split logs on the ground.
A pretty pattern inside a log where the tree has been branching into two thick parts. It's coloured whie, red and brown and there's a black scar in the split.
Wheelbarrow full of split logs.

After the test run, first mission: pick up windfall from the road down to the river.

This is why I serviced the already overhauled tractor first - I really wanted to be sure the brakes work. Had to stop on that hill repeatedly to pick up piles of logs.

Great success, not only did everything fit in the trailer, the Iseki pulled it back up the steep and snowy path with ease.

A lot easier than by wheelbarrow! 😅

Bonus: A nice sunset.

Blue tractor facing downhill on a snowy road that is sloping more towards the front wheels. The trailer is partially filled with snow covered logs. A forest is behind, on a level area.
Tractor and trailer again. Now fully laden with logs from fallen trees and some snow, they are parked in front of a barn for unloading.
A nice sunset peeking out under cloud cover. A tall tree and some snowy landscape.
The trailer, unhitched and tilted back like a dump trailer, the hitch supported by a stick, giving me ideas for improvements.
