Along with hunting seasons, one of the other rites of autumn that I've always enjoyed has been the annual quest for firewood to heat the house throughout the winter. Another couple weeks and the red foxes will be prime enough to start trapping, and the woodshed's gotta be full before that starts.

Miss Lisa frequently picks up a blue grouse or two while making a woodload.

Bucking and splitting, I'm always assisted by the dogs.

An overflowing woodshed is a thing of beauty in my opinion.

Some of our random family trip pics. Anyone recognize these??? We have trappers on here from all over so I'm sure there will be some smiles. Love touring US and seeing different things.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

First one Chimney Rock near Scottsbluff, NE (sort of)?
I never saw the rattle snake signs out there as I recall.
Saw snakes, just not the signs.

Gulo I think your wood shed is looking at me. Cool
My wife would not get out of the truck by the snake sign. I don’t tell her there are snakes around when we go places like that.

I love chasing these bombers around. Only get one a year these days.

Range -

Didn't know if anyone would notice the great horned owl eye's in the stacked wood.

Really nice picture! Interesting that I've been jumping a brace of sage hens on every woodload at a bit over 9000' elevation. Is it common for them to be up on the tops in autumn?

I'm fortunate enough to get out there several times a year. Its about a 6 hour drive from my front door. My son is a pitcher at WNCC there. Great scenery out there. Go Cougars!

All these firewood Fotos give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Gathering firewood on public land is/was one of my most enjoyable endeavors. Two-tracking my way around the county with a thermos of coffee and my wood making tools is not only a great way to get exercise, it is also extremely satisfying. Nothing like gazing at a bursting woodpile and knowing you have ample Strategic Firewood Reserves!

Gulo, is that enough wood for the cold season? Estimate how many days a year the stove is going? How far is the shed from the house? Guess you can't make a raft upriver and float it down, eh?

We heat 100% with wood. House is 1700 sq. ft. We burn an average of 210 days of the year, but the coldest I've ever seen it was -40F. The woodshed is 80' from the house. When White17 built this house, he built it super-insulated and anally tight. We go through between 4 and 5 cords of wood. Alas, no more rafting logs downstream to the doorstep.

Yes. It is lodgepole pine. In the mountains here in the northwest, we basically have no hardwoods. Standing dead lodgepole has pretty good BTUs, very little ash content, and its thin bark is not a winter hideaway for millions of spiders. Another plus for an old man like me is that it splits easy with a maul.

Fire killed pine is also great for making pine tar.

What a cute lizzahd, yes sir !

About eight years back, the adjoining Forest Service lightly logged the land adjacent to my place. A neighbor down the road 1/2 mile objected vehemently . A hunter, who should know better, how opening up a tight forest makes for great elk and deer habitat, he actually confronted the guy with the big tree cutter machine , and his crew . Being Natl. Forest land, it was their call to log the area. I approached them later and they told me how concerned they were in parking their heavy equipment and trucks at night for the several days they planned to be there.

I told them, when they're done for each day just drive those big yellow Tonka Toys onto my property and park them in the open meadow in back of my cabin.

Very relieved, they did so. What a feeling through the ground, as each evening they rumbled into that meadow and lined up their rigs, side by side, in a row.

They logged the area with skill and care, leaving me a good barrier treeline along the road for privacy maintained. The cutter they had snipped trees right at ground level, and another stripped the boughs from each trunk in seconds. They took care of the leftovers so everything was clean. They selectively logged, there was plenty of trees left to grow bigger and attract deer and elk.

The last day , when they left, I was gone.

When I returned, why there was a pile of beautiful logs of Tamarack, cedar, red and white fir, and some hemlock , all for firewood. About 13 cords worth.

Here is a shot of it as I stacked it into my woodshed. The prettiest lot of wood I think I ever had. I later had the shed fixed up to look better , as this was years ago, and pretty rustic .


Jack, love your outbuildings. You can nevah have enough wood.

With a tight insulted cabin, that much wood lasts a long time ...the trees in the north-west here, are great for firewood !

When you are making the big bucks from book sales it leaves a lot of leisure time to stack wood in creative ways.

Absolutely Ken. In the past month, I've actually cleared $13.44. Now only about $3986.56 in the hole. I'm in the tall cotton now, baby! Goin' out to stack more wood.

Keeping with the firewood theme;

An oak that was leaning towards the location of a new shed. Got about three cords out of this one tree.

QBD, Sharon, and Lugnut -

I agree with JMorse, in that images of stacked firewood all put up for the winter provides me with a warm, fuzzy feeling. In many ways its akin to looking at put up fur hanging in the shed ready for the buyer to come and inspect, shell out those big dollars ($50 for twelve coyotes, 16 foxes and 432 coons), and watch him take them away. I drool over those photos of Lug with the winter's supply of hardwood. A thing of absolute beauty!

Same here ! I covet that hardwood !!

Gulo: Remember Alex H that lived on the river road ? He always had several cords of drift cut and stacked on the bank. One day I asked him why he didn't put it in his woodshed. He said it was like having......"money ON the bank " laugh

Gulo, I have seen some of those high elevation birds but I don’t know if it’s common. The bird I got this year was at around 7500 feet. I have a spot I like to go on the mid September opener sometimes that is around 6700 feet. It usually has plenty of sage hens around then. I often go back to the exact same area and hunt sharptails the first of October and rarely see sage grouse there at that time. So they move out during those couple of weeks between the sage grouse opener and the sharpie opener. Interesting migrations on those guys.

Ken,

That's a relatively familiar scene. With the ice floes, I'm thinking I will be able to park the airplane there in a couple weeks.

I kinda feel rich when I've got a full woodshed and chest freezer in the fall.

Cool old building. Stone? Was it perhaps an old grange hall?

In these times, I'm with you. Only things I'll add to be truly rich is an outhouse with another couple of years of freeboard.

It won't be long if this rate keeps up. I'd like nothing better than to see it parked there........often !

Yes....limestone. I knew the gal that grew up there. She is long deceased now. That house is square enough to be restored. Rock is sturdy!
