Roadside logging WELL sort of!!! 

Good attitude! Waste not want not. At my age....75...I need to pace myself. Found a lot north of me that the owner destroyed and removed an old house, there were about 6 trees, good sized ones and went by there one day and they were down. Came back by another day and they were cut up. Next day there was a sign .....free firewood! Went home and got my little trailer and loaded it up, got it home and got it split up. Went back next day and got 6 pieces....the rest were too heavy for me to lift. Another day came by and two guys were standing on the lot talking....next day all the wood was gone. But I got a trailer and a half, made one rick. Then my wife told me a dead cedar tree on our property had blown over. Went out and looked at it. Cut it up and stacked the brush, then used a garden cart to make several trips to my splitter with the good wood. By the time I got that split and stacked, I got the most aromatic rick of firewood I have ever had! HA HA Anyway, by the time I got that split, my wife had moved all the top limbs to our burn pile site and burned them! Pretty much replaced everything we burned last winter...very mild winter...so not looking for more wood presently. But I always keep an eye out in my neighborhood. Some folks have fireplaces but are too lazy to work with it if a tree falls over on their land. We have heated our home in the winter for the past 40 years with wood, and I love splitting and stacking on my back porch when it is raining or snowing! HA HA In the dry.

Hello Schieb, 500i Magic! Splits the wood in half!😂 good find💪🤘🏻🪵🇺🇸

Morning Scheib , that was a nice busted log you got . The deer mount is beautiful . Glad you got it back !! 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵🔥🦌

Hey Scheib nice score. What a mess they left. Nice Deer buddy.

I was surprised to see such a nice log laying there. Then you split it Captain America style and I figured it out 😅 Nice haul!

Nice find for sure. The 500 was cutting very well.

Nice work Schieb, love watching your videos.

I’m glad you are rescuing all that wood to keep your house warm, I’m exactly like you, waste not,want not, it’s the principle of the thing. All the best from England. Ps, don’t do your back in, it took nine months for mine to come right, i nipped a nerve to my right calf.

I always enjoy your road trips. This episode was especially interesting...

Hell of a job there buddy. Nice stuff

Me alegra verte de nuevo recogiendo leña del campo

NICE FIND ON THE WOOD....BEAUTIFUL RACK ON THE WHITETAIL 👍💯

That's the kind of stuff I like, last year a landowner had a section of woods cut down and brought up to a place right next to his driveway that went around his barn I pulled right up next to the pile cut it and I don't remember how many loads I got, I have 4 foot sides on my trailer I took the stuff 16 to about 20 inches really nice straight stuff, there was some stuff 36 inches I took the easy stuff it was all free he just wanted it out of there after I took a bunch of loads next time I showed up a log truck was there loading up the rest I still got a couple more loads because of so much the log truck had to make probably 4 to 5 loads , it was close to roadside logging, have a great day

That's awesome. I get much of my wood the exact same way here in North Central Minnesota.

Great video and very nice buck!

Good video Schieb, you're passenger side backup light is burned out, although you have more than likely noticed by now.

I agree !! That is a mess , they should of made brush piles !! And nice buck too !

That's great to get free wood

nice load of oak firewood

I have heated my home for the last 20 years doing the same thing you are I have winchs and 250 ft cables with snatch blocks for getting out trees way back in off the log roads. most of the trees were storm damage already laying down, the only trees i had to cut were one blocking the roads, I am from Harding p.a.

Seed tree cut is common or a shelter wood cut where those seed trees stay behind to leave structure for the regeneration such as a wind break

Leaving tops in the woods has some positives. Creates habitat and cover for small game, protects regen from deer and puts back to the soil. A hardwood timber harvest looks a lot different up here compared to PA

Was watching an old video of yours yesterday and you had the old red dually with the trailer and we’re hauling a couple of loads of logs. There was something about the old truck that looked unique. Nice score of wood. Cheers my friend

I heated my house for over 10 years with road side free wood

Not a bad deal when you can drive to the log your cutting. Good score ther

Love your Videos

Nice free score Scheib and great job loading the truck.

cuting it like butter👍🤛💪✌

Nice job Scheib .. that’s a nice stack. Nice Buck and also like your truck

You put me in mind of myself. Going out and getting wood were you can get it. Great job

Hi Schieb, another good video! My God, those loggers should be stopped, what a mess, and what a waste of good wood! Be good to see more! Cheers Len (Devon 🇬🇧)

Nice video!! Hopefully you'll get lots of wood from this!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

Nice load of oak there Scheib. Not shore if you know you might have a reverse light out on the passenger side of your truck.

Yes. Be careful driving on those tops. If the tire pops one up, that could leave a nice dent. That would suck!

Great buck buddy! Nice to see your mount. You are a worker my friend. Great job!

Nice work Don. Im hopefull our weather will improve soon, I miss roadside logging. Kenny

Hey buddy how are you doing I'm good great video great scores

When I cut wood I'll usually cut down to 1-2 inches thick I make sure I get 90- 95 percent of the wood.

Wooo! Yes, it is crazy to walk an area that was just recently logged - lots and lots of tops everywhere. I think Adam from Hometown Acres did one and took home about 4 dump trailer loads in just one day.

Free wood is good wood

Passenger side reverse light 😁

Awesome stuff. I’ve seen a logging / land clearing company skid the whole tree out to landing. Cut the lumber mill logs. Chip the tops right into a trailer. I believe the chips get sold to the paper mill by the ton.

Glad to see you got some good wood out of there. Be careful with taking your truck in there - those limbs can mess some stuff up.

Good show brother! It's pretty common to find that kind of mess after a property has been logged off. Of course we WoodHounds see it as a complete waste of wood, but in reality, as it rots it becomes very fertile soil for the next generation of seedlings. It is nice to see you get that larger stuff, especially the one that split. Beauty of a buck you got there, he'll look great amongst your display! Blessn's to ya, Tedd

Must feel good to get out do some more scavage logging You should be able to get down there and clean up some more. Those good talks before access get cut off. It's amazing what they live in the woods to just rot. Become the fuel for fire if in the heat was ever to get lit.

Some good looking wood. Talk to any landowners in you area and maybe you can get wood from any blow down or dead stuff from them.

Dang they leave a mess and a lot of fire wood that’s going to waste laying around 😮

thats a £200 load all daylong in the UK

Always the farthest first brother!

your right rear backup lite is out on the silverado

🎉

Hi Scheib!!😀😀 It would be nice if they chipped all the tops. But when it costs more to do it than what you get for it. It's just not feasible to do. It will rot down and turn into fertilizer for the new woods that is growing up. Nice buck!!👍👍 What did it score?? Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

👍👍

I watched you at different events are you from tower city area. I live in hegins valley. Never knew that

Scheib, drove by your place today. I saw those logging areas along 325 on the way in. There sure are a bunch of spots that they logged off along that hill side. I was in Harrisburg for work and took the scenic route home, I wanted to get a better look at your road side stand. I’m in the process of designing one for at my place and I’m looking at ideas other people had. Any suggestions on designs, things not to do or things you found that work good? Stay safe, keep on Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵

Scheib nothing wrong with free and you can sell it for money 💴 😮😊❤

Cant hook is my friend. Lol

Good video, Schieb..I was curious to what magnetic firewood marker you like best? I have seen you use a couple different ones..Been looking at the Perfect Stick myself. Thanks for any input on this.🤟

Did you have a reverse light out? In a good way you’re like a turkey vulture. You clean things up and leave no waste. Good hard work that pays off. The different species is always a good surprise . Do you run any other saws?

hi there good find but not your size ,needs to be over 24 inches and real heavy , did you ask them if they had any Sycamore.lol well done . best to all john

That more like off reading logging

Just to let you know that your right rear back up light is not working, of all things to notice 😅

Back up light out

Start at the farthest point!

Can’t do this in the UK it pisses me off. No wood can be removed without permission

Do you have to get any kind of permission to go on these places or is it open to anyone?

Your smart to walk in where you are thinkin about cuttin firewood, before driving in, thats takin care of your pickup. Looks like you forgot your peavy.One mans trash is anothers treasure. good watch

Hey it easy to catch TIMBER thieves now there on u tube channels has a right rear back up light is not working. Wearing no safety gear on state property.

They mowing down everything by you and slapping up houses?

Have you ever tried alligator hunting !

Good video scheib! Do you run a 500i?

How do you get permission on these places

You wouldn't of been hitting the ground because you're on top of limbs and scrap wood.

You wear chaps

Nice you took advantage of what they left to rot.some nice oak. But not as nice as that buck he’s a beauty shieb 🪵🦌👍🇺🇸

Free wood is the best kinda wood 🪵, especially when it’s oak 🌰 !!!!

👍👍
