Good video. Thank you for sharing. Regarding birch being the best firewood, in my opinion, it depends on what wood is available to choose. In our area, western larch is a good firewood. Douglas fir and birch are not far behind. But, if one had access to oak, maple, or fruit woods, those are harder and burn longer in our experience. However, in our close area, there are few if any of those trees. Mostly grand fir and lodgepole pine available pretty abundantly, plus some spruce of unknown variety. Lodgepole, then spruce, then grand fir, in my opinion.
["They say Birch is the BEST firewood"] Who the heck are [THEY]..... It's more like a ok firewood, beech and oak are in the top 2 on my list........ Ever notice liming trees can be very tricky and or dangerous, I didn't think so, I'm probably the only one that gets slapped around, banged, knocked down and hit in the face with limbs.... In first week of February I dragged a oak tree down that was hung up, it was over a foot on stump, then I started liming and got one side done and most of top. So far everything was going good, then went back down on other side and started on a 3" limb, now I dont like leaving 3" oak limbs in woods so I went up around 10' to cut end off..... But what I didn't notice is, that limb was bent up like a bow at 45* angle, limbs that grow upwards at 45* angle is normal so I thought nothing of it, but when I cut the top of limb off man oh man didn't I ever get it. Picture a 2-3" hard oak limb bent back like a bow then cut the end off when it's about 1ft off ground. That limb hit me so hard on left leg just below the knee that it knocked me 10 ft back on the ground, I felt something pull like my muscle or something, what ever pulled hurt so bad I could barely walk..... So I made it back tractor and headed out, when I got back to house my leg was hurting even worse, wife got ice-pack and placed that on my leg about 4hr, it didn't help. So there I was for 2 solid weeks, in a recliner watching old tv shows and YT. On pain scale of 1-10, I was around 20, I could barely walk, I had all I could do to go up and down stairs, even getting into bed hurt, getting dressed hurt..... A week later I bought one of them [Tens massage units] which helped a little. It was about 3 weeks before I could start doing stuff again, and pain was down to around 5 on pain scale..... So after 3 weeks I went back in the woods to get rest of trees out that was left, I wanted to get them out while there was still snow on ground.... This is how I know that Satan exist, the first tree I limbed was an ash about 12" on stump, no limbs til come to fork at top, it spread to 5' in about 12' , one side of fork was on ground and other side up about a foot. So I cut top off the limb that was on ground at about 3", then cut other top off at same length, when I did that top swung up and around hit me in the chest and that limb knocked me over, the saw and helmet went flying, but luckily it only knocked the wind out of me..... I wont go into the next two times I got hit with limbs this past month because story is to long now. But I've been cutting wood and limbs for 50 years and I never ever got banged around like I have this past month. So now after about 6 weeks the pain is down to maybe 1/2-1, I'm able to move around quite good and the firewood is all out............ And I thought hot-dogs was an American tradition, I'll take mind with catchup, mustard and my wife's zucchini relish, along with some ginger ale. We have beans and hot-dogs every Saturday, that a ole fashion ME tradition, in rare occasions we coleslaw, but finding good coleslaw isn't that easy, very few places no how to make it or if they do it's terrible........ PS Hope you find this extra long post not to boring......
This was a great read. I saw it was a long post so I saved it for a time when I could read it proper and not have to skim any. Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm very glad to hear you're ok. Let's hope that was enough of a beating for the next few years! Coleslaw can be delicious, but like you say, it varies greatly. Best to make it yourself 😁

Missing your videos, hope you start again soon
Hands down. Nothing beats a hotdog cooked over an open fire. Cool video.
Agreed! I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for the comment ❤️
Where'd you go? 😢
Nice one again. Maybe the bar is a little bit too big for the trees but it sure does the trick just perfectly.
Yeah the birches around here aren't that big. Bar is very oversized for this, hehe. Thanks for the comment ❤️

Why are you cutting baby trees ?
They are mountain birch and normally don't get very big at this elevation. They have very tight growth rings. Makes for great firewood.
Boring quit yapping
