There are alot of things one must do to be safe when out cutting for firewood. One of the first things to do is to evaluate the area you will be cutting in.
This is a picture of CP showing our son a BIG HAZZARD someone left, that he spotted when looking around the property we are working on. Here is a picture of what the guys are looking at ........Can you see the hazzard? It's really easy to miss! Exactly why it is such a hazzard and could easily kill someone just wandering around not paying attention. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Winds were REALLY bad the other day and took down LOTS of live and dead trees.Not a day to be out cutting! Lots were cleared from the roads but several are still there. Some were left as we call them "widow makers or hangers". Not safe and several were hanging over the roads. Here are a few pictures of some hanging. First picture is of one being held up by another Aspen...but not for long, it will snap soon!
This last picture is to show how high some of these trees snapped. Bet it was a loud scary day in these woods! After dropping and buzzing up several trees, it started to rain and get windy again so we headed out. Nature sure has a way of saying "Look at me!" -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
