We were at 10,425' elev. *One of the Stihl owners said they would buy Husky
next. *They both had three each.

We cut mostly rounds 16-18" long. *We brought them back to my house to
split.

We were considering going back up there in the summer, and making it a two
day event with a campout. *We want to bring a splitter, and an ATV to skid
the logs to a central point.

We were discussing how efficient it is to split wood right at the spot where
you fell it. *And how it stacks up comparatively in a rack. *Say, take
enough rounds to fill up a 4x4x8 frame, then split it and see if the stack
is higher or lower. *We all agreed that it would be nice to leave all the
mess in the woods, and that it would be somewhat less handling doing it that
way.

What are the facts?

I can see the camping part making it a bit more fun. Leaviing the
residue at location appeals as well.
