Logging

How do we get the wood?

First Jason goes in and trims up the fallen trees. He takes off the branches, and I drag them away to a pile for burning or chipping later. He then measures out the log and begins to cut the log into smaller pieces.
Next Jason sets up a block in a tree to help pull the log from the woods.
Then I operate the winch on the back of the tractor, and we begin to pull the log out of the woods. Jason wiggles the log back and forth to keep it from getting caught up on stumps, roots and other bumps along the way.When the log is out of the woods, we hook it up to the back of the tractor and haul it home to the sawmill!
