Getting Firewood for winter




A couple of weeks ago, we went out west of Caroline for our winter firewood. We stopped at Caroline Supplies to pick up our permits that allows us to cut dead spruce trees for fire wood for ourselves. We then drove to a small fire burnt area that we new of. We then proceeded to fell dead trees, block and spit firewood. It was then stacked neatly inside our cattle stock trailer. We made a full day of it meaning we needed lunch. Elna packed a picnic lunch complete with hamburgers and lots of veggies to eat. We even brought along our portable BBQ to cook the hamburgers. They were Edgar Farms hamburger patties of course. With our lawn chairs to sit on it was a wonderful lunch indeed. As with any job "many hands make light work" so with 7 of us it went very well getting enough fire wood to last more than a year.
