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,

We always get a mix also of what we cut down. I have found that Aspen burns a little quicker than the pine but a lot less pitchy, so not as much build up in the chimney. I also like to use Aspen for kindle. In smaller pieces it seems to start the fires pretty quick, then I add a piece of pine. The pine does burn longer and hotter though but also a dickens to chop. Love chopping the Aspen, is almost like butter compared to the knots in Pine. Plus it smells good burning I think.
