My next challenge is getting the trunk of this birch in the background outta here. To the right of the tree in the front center of the water is a 4' deep watering hole. I don't know if there is a spring under here, or it's just a low spot that collects water. The water hole hasn't been dry in years, only briefly during our last drought. The animals use it to drink so I don't want to take a chance in contaminating it or driving near it. I do like a challenge.

Is there room to come around from the uphill side and just grab it and pull it up and over the hill? Then you can drag it out, or cut it up and haul it.

Got 6 of these dumping hoppers that were going to be scrapped where I work.

Part of them have holes in the bottom for water to drain out. I'm thinking about putting a drain in the others.

A full hopper lasts about 12 days.

When it freezes over go get then. It looks like that hole needs a cleaning out as well.

Why take it out at all? Let it rot for the critters.

That would be awesome to have those around.

I was leaning towards that idea, It's a waiting game, I need it to be cold enough to freeze the water solid, but not a ton of snow or it will have to sit until it melts, there is really no good way to get in there with a lot of snow on the ground.

That's about 2 weeks of good firewood, too much to leave for the critters, they will just have to live in the wall next to it.

If you're going to leave it till later, I would block it up off the ground so it doesn't rot first.

Let some of mine go too long & lost a bunch of good firewood.

My brother has some of those. He put an axle under one and used it for hauling sand and firewood for many years. He could pull it with his tractor and dump the sand where he wanted it.
