Yukon opens some woodlots for commercial firewood harvesters year-round
The Yukon government is opening up three areas — two near Haines Junction and one near Mayo, for all-season access, meaning commercial harvesters will have the opportunity to cut firewood during the summer months.

Huh, this is clever. It uses the existing bucket curl cylinder, super easy build, no messing with hydraulics at all.

💡 I wonder if I can design one for the quick-fitting I've got and how much force that would get me.

Split, ya bastard! 2026 edition.

I wonder if the little Scheppach/Güde electrohydraulic splitter could handle these or just bend itself in half?

Firewood Engraved with Corporate Apologies Sells Out

Battling sub-10-degree weather to cut dense Australian hardwood. Some red gums are near impossible to split, but this piece is dry enough to burn. #AustralianHardwood #Firewood #DIY
$5.50/gal for #HeatingOil next winter, at least!? Yeah, we're going to be burning more #firewood for sure. Once the house is paid off, we'll be switching to some kind of #HeatPump, I hope. Can you hook #geothermal up to already installed baseboard radiators? https://vtdigger.org/2026/05/18/after-a-long-cold-winter-energy-costs-are-soaring-some-vermonters-are-reevaluating-their-options/ #Vermont
After a long, cold winter, energy costs are soaring. Some Vermonters are reevaluating their options.

“I'm on quite a restricted budget,” said one Vermonter who planned to switch away from oil heating. “I'm really, really worried about where things are right now.”

Been thumbing around some concrete beams and then played some jenga.

The firewood store got expanded a little and some of the beams had sunk into the soft soil under the weight of the firewood stacked on them and needed rebedding.

The new thumb was extremely useful doing this and I managed to do it without either knocking over the stacked firewood or the roof.

Then stacked the split pile onto there so it can finish drying.

Just ran a cord of wood out to a local senior. She's 100% reliant on wood heat so she'll go through most of this by summer, unless we get a heat wave.

Moving a cord of wood is HARD. Took 45 minutes to load the truck, 25 mins travel time, and 15 minutes to unload (I offered to stack it neatly but she likes the exercise). Multiply that by two, since the truck only holds a half cord at a time.

We still have about 8 cords of wood in our yard, lol.
