it's Pete from cheap homesteading and we're out in the sugar bush today and
we're gonna cut some firewood I'm always always behind this weekend I got to boil
some sap so I need to get some firewood cut I have a good pile but I have a lot
more to bring out so let's go so there we go I have a little bit cut already
and hold in I have a little bit more to cut because if I can square this off
I'll be good for two full days of boiling SAP and that's kind of nice
because that I'm not gonna really stress to too much in between if things just
get busy you know so let's go we got to go up and cut some wood the idea is to
go out and I follow my trail around and try to find whatever is dead and
standing that way you thin out the bush a little bit and you can actually boil
SAP for free really and then I bring it back and we pile her up and that stuff
burns great I haven't had any issue with us so okay here we got to a little spot
along the trail and we're gonna go see if we can find some dead standing trees
okay so I found a good one here Knoll - it's actually two of them one right
there and one right there now there is oh there's another one here
so this is a great spot we're gonna get like quite a bit of wood out of these
where the issue is these are the trees that you'll get hurt the ends breaking
off when you're cutting them down so you got to be careful out there make sure
you wear your helmet your chaps everything because this will be the most
dangerous kind of wood cutting you can possibly do is cutting down dead stuff
so be safe out there
bottom half of this forum Alaskans sawmill I think I'm gonna cut it here
cut the rest up for firewood and then left come back with a sawmill at some
point
and I still have that big log to cut up and there's a little more branches at
the end of it I can take if I need it so that is absolutely a beautiful day
really okay ah it's only about 2:30 but I think I've
had about enough I got enough wood at the Sugar Shack and
besides the wood I have here and a few other piles along I have enough for the
year so I'm not gonna go and do any more I'm gonna go and relax so you guys have
a good one
