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,

Enough wood for the winter now, so only chopping left! Was actually a rough season of wood gathering for us but we made it through it ok. Dan did get hit by a tree by another cutter when working for them, but he is ok...sure was a close one!
As a family out cutting, we still have a perfect safety record to date though! Working together as a team sure pays off in more ways than one!!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Working together as a team sure pays off in more ways than one!!! I have noticed just about everytime I am out cutting that the end of the day seems to be the most dangerous. I used to cut firewood and sell it as a way to get by when I wasnt making much. Seemed like I would get tired and make mistake. Guess it takes some experience to learn when to put down the saw and head in for the day. I have a stihl ms 441 with a 30 inch bar that I thought would make cutting easier. Turns out cutting with a 13 pound saw makes for a long day. Back to the ol 026 for bucking up wood. Good luck on chopping. Dad always made me do it the manual way. I can still hear him saying you will that me for this one day. Getting those nice callused hands sure does help keep the scrapes down when diggin for crystals. Seems like those two big pieces in your wood pile would make great chopping blocks. -------------------- --Chris
