What are your fav / least fav outdoor chores?
Mine is maintaining the road with the tractor - sort of Zen and the Art of Road Maintenance.
My second favorite is cutting wood with the chainsaw. Wish I could split by hand but throw my back out everytime.
Least favorite: anything to do with maintaining a manicured lawn...
like splitting wood by hand
hate the ten hours it takes to cut lawn and pastures with tractor
Get more horses!!!:DQuote:

Favorite outdoors activity...........Duhhhhh..........Just being there. Rain, sun, cold, hot.......I am there. I walk out the door everyday and just thank God that I can work outside.
Least favorite...........Duhhh.........coming inside.
I'll dig ditches, jackhammer, rake, cut, chop, take off the wedding ring and swing an ax or sledge, any meanial work, I don't care as long as I'm outside.
favorite, would be any type of cutting and nailing wood
least fav. mucking horse poop out of the stalls
Favorite, sitting and overlooking the freshly cut grass. Least is splitting wood, but I still do it year round with a maul just to keep the arthritis broken loose. I block it up and split as we need it so I am outside whatever the weather splitting wood, but working and climbing poles outside for 32yrs I would rust if I stopped. The Doc would lock me up if he knew I rode ATVs, hill climbed with a trail bike and still climb. I was grounded in 96 after a back operation to no climbing ladders, walking on uneven ground, no up & down hills so I guess one of us was wrong.
Favorite? Anything to do with growing. Garden, flowers, etc. Mowing is cool, too. I enjoy that.
Least favorite? Packing other peoples trash out of the woods. This is for anyone that has ever left trash in the forest. YOU ARE A MORON! Now, go back out there and PICK IT UP!
I believe the words of Chief Seattle, "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children." Smart man.
i agrre but no more thoroughbreds spoiled barn critters, next horse is goona be a canadian looks alot like a morgan and likes to be outside, also might get a couple of goats from the neighbor she doesn't use the male goats so i could use them to keep the pastures down.Quote:

i agree rick
one of the reasons that the wife and i bought this property was because of getting kicked out of other lands we thought was public had quad trails and snow machine trails had used the bush for two years picking up allot of trash actually making some money off the cans and bottles then one day about this time last year buddy comes along and says peop are not allowed on his prop i say we help clean it but nope so we bought our own, but it is a shame you cant go any where w/o seeing trash..
I always leave the woods with more stuff than I packed in. Beer cans and beer bottles seem to be the most common. If you're hiking and drinking beer there has to be several deficiencies there. Not the least of which is good hydration.
Agreed, those people are morons! Same goes for waterways and trash.Quote:

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I absolutely cannot stand to handwash my truck or anyone else's vehicle. It does stay clean though thanks to drive-thrus.
Like: Chopping wood
Dislike: Breaking up fire illegal fire rings.
I enjoy the entire firewood process- until about Febuary then it starts getting old.
I enjoy feeding the dogs and horses- don't enjoy picking up after them though.
I enjoy vegetable gardening- I hate yard/lawn work.
I love to hunt, kill, and eat wild animals- I don't really enjoy gutting, packing, butchering,grinding, packaging them though.
I like to grill out, smoke meats, etc...but I don't like cleaning up afterwards.
Pretty much anything outdoors beats pretty much anything indoors IMHO. I suppose there's exceptions but I'm too da** lazy to think about them right now.
favorite: gardening (planting/harvesting)
least favorite (and I'm suprised no one has mentioned this yet): sod busting by hand.
sod buster yer a sod buster? draw varmit.
Anything you can do out side, with the exception of spliting wood. Like junking it up, cutting it, even piling it, but do not like spliting it .
