Scott, looks like you have a good piece to make some kindling from! We always pick up lighter knots here on the farm, it's amazing they keep showing up even after 50 years of working this place. Down in Bee Branch, folks will be finding "fat wood" for years from the big pines that went down during Hurricane Michael.

The fatwood branch was buried below the downed Maple I was working on. The Maple is about 6" round there.

Great pics, Paul! A real nice assortment of “tools” you got there!
Here’s some pics from the most recent hike my wife and I took. As you can see, we encountered this King snake almost right beside us at one point. He darted a few feet away to where he is in this pic. Must have thought we couldn’t see him there.
I took a couple of pics, turned to speak to my wife, and she had darted, too - about 20 yards back up the trail!

I was hauling a small log to a hiding spot and went to set it down when I noticed this littlre fella.
Hoping I didn't hurt him I reached down to discover his life ended before I got there...
