Skidding Out The Trees ...

August 18, 2014
Finding standing timber...
using a long cable ... a snatch block ... and the tractor ...
to pull the fallen logs out from the bush ...

Pulling the logs up unto to the road ...
and using the backhoe bucket to lift them for Mike to buck them up ...
less bending over for us ...
As Mike is cutting ...
I continue to put the pieces into the truck ...

Finding another standing tree ... and a couple already down on the ground ...
attaching the cable once again ...
I was pulling it with the tractor ... up onto the road again ... 
And so the process goes on ... 

It was a good firewood getting day ...
loaded up the truck and the tractor bucket with the larger pieces ...
piling up the large logs to be split ...
and putting the rest into the woodshed ...
a few more days and we should have it filled ...
