>>1678343I'm not the anon you responded to, but yeah. In Sweden I cut dead standing trees about 12 inches off the ground with my hatchet then process it with a saw. If I know I'm going to return to that campsite, which I usually do, I leave the tree propped up on the 12 inches of trunk to keep it off the ground and dry. I came back to a campsite in spring after 5 months over winter and found a tree I'd left still in that position, nice and dry and ready to burn. Pic related.
