Cutting and Hauling Firewood

This video just shows me bringing out an 8 foot log with my 1979 International Lo Boy Tractor. What it doesn’t show is how, or where, I’m cutting. Prior to getting our Stihl chainsaw last fall, I hadn’t used one in about 35 Years! Even then, it was only one afternoon while helping a friend trim some splints in his backyard. So, it’s incredible to me to be able to cut trees, on our own land, on a hillside! Likewise, I probably haven’t drove a tractor in 40 Years, and to be able to get around, maneuvering around tree, and obstacles, on a Hillside! Now, this is no gentle rolling field, it’s old switchback roads, on a steep grade, with somewhat composted, soft leaf covered, soil. So there’s a bit of back sliding, a bit of praying, and a lot of hoping! However, if I can cut these trees, turn that area into pasture, nd eventually after running our Goats and Pigs through it, and haul that wood out to make firewood and maybe even some lumber, it helps us become even more self sufficient.
