That is sad. But a decent wood stove and stack can be got and self-installed for a few hundred, and a decent chainsaw can be got for peanuts. I paid more in 80's dollars than chainsaws cost today in 20's dollars - they're ****' GIVIN' 'em away. What else is required? A wedge and a mallet - or maybe just a good ax?GHETTOBLASTER » 20 Jun 2022, 7:19 pm » wrote: ↑ A wood stove and all of the knowledge and access to the natural resources to feed it is a very expensive, time consuming and work related option for young people to contemplate nowadays.
My young neighbors with no back up heat placed a higher priority on owning a pair of new Dodge Monster Deisel Trucks and $10,000 worth of video gaming equipment over owning a wood stove and wood shed on their 5 acre, heavily wooded homestead.
I agree that wood heat is labor intensive, but it is CASUAL labor - that is, you can do it on your own schedule, when time permits. Burning wood builds character.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
