Outdoor Corner: Black Spruce challenge
I have to admit as I walk or otherwise travel through the bush on a daily basis, I keep my eye open for good firewood. I know, there’s lots of talk these days about keeping carbon emissions down and frankly I do the best I can in limiting the amount of wood I burn. But, as my good friend Mors Kochanski often says, “A fire warms you twice. Once when you cut it and once when you burn it.” I would go one step further and say that it warms you three times, while cutting, splitting and burning it.
