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 smiley-shocked003.gif ........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. stop.gif wacko.gif

Ha! He does, all day long! Amazing how many trees we can cut down in the same time as others cutting in the area. happy112.gif They will be there when we get there and still there when we leave with more wood than they have loaded. Days cutting Aspen are a breeze to us compared to the Pines though and a lot less messy of a clean up. Was amazing to see how much growth there has been since we cut that big one down. smiley-shocked003.gif Yellow flowers and grass was so high that you could barely see the stump and the rest of the trunk left not cut up yet. Here is a picture of the area after we let the light in. happy088.gif
