Chainsawing is hard work and anybody who says otherwise is either lying or never used one. Today despite the wind, rain and generally wrotten weather i've been in a T shirt and dragging around trees and chainsaws is heavy work.
One of the hardest jobs i've done was a woodland management job. We cut down some 200 trees form an over crowded woodland. Opening up some rides for public access. We got a lot of firewood from that job and we did that in the summer so it was boiling hot dragging all the stuff around.
Tomorrow i'm felling dead Elms with expected 23mph wind with probally 40mph gusts. its going to be fun!

I remember you posting a KMZ file or the co-ordinates for Google Earth for the place you live but I lost them.
Still got them?

I spent nearly every day one winter chopping firewood in the far flung ***** of Ontario, with wind chill it got down to -45 degrees at times. Unfortunately the only source of heat for the entire house was a wood burning furnace so it was either freeze outside of everyone freezes in.

I always thought you were down south.
WOW, you're about 560 miles from The Devils Tower out of Close Encounters and about 600 miles from where the Vulcans first made contact.

I wore so much clothing to go out today and it still wasn't enough.. Couldn't be outside today for anything more than 5-10 mins or it really got bad. It seems to be the windchill rather than the temperature.
Skyways are all very well but why don't they connect the buildings I do use.
Roll on spring ..

Did you use an axe?
I want to get an axe to chop firewood, I think it would be fun.
