Gathering Wood In The Snow

We got all the top wood out of the timber before the snow and cold snap, but thirty some feet of good, long dead black oak got a foot of snow on it, and we had days of single digit temps. It finally go up to almost 30 degrees F, so I grabbed the rest of the wood before the ground has a chance to thaw. I think we are set now until warm weather. Now, to split forty-some big rounds of oak.

Proper Escape Direction

 The final part of putting a tree on the ground is to escape from the stump at 135 degrees from the direction the tree is falling, or 45 degrees off the back of the tree. Forces going out will reflect directly back at the stump, so a 180 degree escape route is dangerous. These events happen with regularity, so incorporate your escape into your falling plan.
