Working in the Woods -(post)

Camping and working in the woods, in the wintertime, in central Oregon.

When I bought this property in ~1995, the forest was a mess: overcrowded with sickly trees and healthy brush. 

Each year I spend 6~8 days tackling this with a chainsaw and a big fire. The goal is to transform the overcrowded mess into a healthy, pretty forest. 

Here a pictures from a few of those wintertime trips.






Arriving at night. It's snowing hard while I haul supplies from the car to the shelter:
