Wood anyone?


For the uninitiated, this is how people get wood up here.
You haul your komatik [sled] behind your snowmobile, some times far sometimes not so far. Dry wood is the preferred which can be a long way and up in the hills. Once a stand is found you have to make a trail [and hope others don’t come across it], cut, trim, haul, load up your komatik. Then it’s all fingers crossed that you get out without getting stuck or over turning the load.
All good fun and hard work.
This load would sell for about $60.00 I would think, not a great return IMO. It has been cut for awhile, but still quite green, not sure where it’s from.
