Any time

[@bb1040]

I don't want to lift a log, I just want to drag it out of the woods for firewood, any suggestions for a rope for dragging logs with my SUV in 4 wheel drive, can't afford a winch, but the SUV pulls just fine and maybe I will get one pully to get around a corner sometime. Oh, and I will be using that yellow skidding cone to make things slide smoother.

[@WhackBytch256]

This boy knows his shit 😜

[@mcnab1383]

Reg Coates is Canadian? Does that mean August Hunicke is from Knutsford?

[@GhostScout42]
