Made my last trip to the mountains and now it is time to get it
bucked up and stacked.

No the splitter works plenty fast for me as is. I caught my
little finger once already between a piece of wood and the end
plate. It took a couple of months to get better. So
things are fast enough, but that was funny.

sort of lifter

I am still lifting them by hand and will continue for as long as
I can. It is a lot of work and sweat. But it is a hobby I
really like so when your passionate about something you do not
mind the effort that goes into it. Plus I really like heating
with wood. Something about seeing the flames in the wood stove
that just makes it feel homey during winter time.

Yes I hear you there I love gathering my wood my wife thinks I
have an illness when I get a call from a friend telling me tree
down or broken branch on so and so street I cant wait to get at
it, and with the cost of wood 360 a ton and up, locally 18
kilogram bags of wood selling at service stations at 20 dollars
a pop equates to about 50 cents a pound. Often get to a log to
find local firewood guys grabbing it but happy to take what they
don't want often 3 inch and under but sometimes I am lucky.
My wife says you have stacks already but that wont last I say
if I don't top it up. But she does love the warmth of a wood
fire and I sell 2 or 3 trailer loads of wood to an older friend
I make nothing really on it but it covers my chains and fuel for
the saws for the year and saves him getting ripped off.
