On this Forum, we have danced around the topic of getting wood and campers for many weeks now. Not wanting to split hairs, a certain webmaster was indeed the recipient of a massive amount of wood, which has been noted in other posts and we have seen the results thereof.
Here is a stiff reply:
My role in that was to drop a 60-foot maple tree on his property to indeed supply his family with wood (as if they needed it) a year ago. It had been damaged in a storm and had to go.
To the dismay of the person mentioned and his family, I dropped the tree precisely at the mark over a year ago.
Since that moment, said wood has remained uncut, split or processed for firewood. In the heat of the moment, we often forget what was on our minds, but at my age, I do recall that I had sown enough seeds in fallow grounds to adequately provide for several seasons.
One guy can't do wood for another guy.
And Jon, considering the ram-shackle nature of your scattered piles of wood, you are hardly a person to criticize. I do indeed have photographic evidence, as you well know, that your wood is not in order. It is not labelled, categorized by species, size and dated as to the location of the tree-fall, date and time of splitting. This goes against the grain of proper wood maintenance.
For some time I have considered a thread called, "Getting Wood in Your Camper," but have resisted the impulse to do so. I will leave that to others, as their roots are deeply embedded, branching out into unknown areas and don't want to look like a sap.
Oh sure, criticize a guy for his wood.
You know what happens when that conversation begins. You wind up out on a limb.
(Did you really want me to go on?)
We don't want to have a thread hijacked here stemming from a misunderstanding?
