Getting started

By
Hello all!  I'm just starting this whole blogging process and thought it would be fun to show some of the daily activities and travels my wife and I enjoy.

Just a little about us first. We just got married back in July and purchased our first home together .The house is on 5.5 acres so I'm usually outside performing some kind of maintenance to the land. For our hobbies we both love being out on the lakes fishing or finding new places to off-road.

Ultimately I would like to grow this blog into a community to converse with people that enjoy the outdoors and hobbies that we enjoy!  Looking forward to this little project and if you are reading this and have any suggestions or tips for me please feel free to leave comments!  Hope everyone has a merry Christmas tomorrow!

Welcome back to OC-Outdoors!  We've got a nice little how to article for todays post.  I needed to replace the flue on the wood burning stove in the garage.  So made a quick trip to tractor supply company to pick up the materials. What do you need to replace the flue  Black stove pipe Slip pipe Self tapping screws Screw driver and or drill Possibly angled pipe depending on the layout of your exhausting system(mine is just straight through the roof) Process of replacing stove pipe flue The first step in the process for replacing the flue on the wood burning stove is to remove the old stove pipe currently in place.  Pretty obvious right!?  However, this really can be the most difficult part of the whole project as I came to find out.  My pipe was rusted and corroded together, which was the whole reason for this project to begin with. You can kind of see this in the picture to the right. So, I sprayed mine with WD-40 and let it sit several nights before attempting to

Hello everyone!  Today, I'd like to start something new and a little bit different.  I would like to try out a photography contest to try and get our readers more involved with the blog!  What I would like to do is to come up with a different subject each month and have readers submit their photos to me.  I'll then create a post with all of the entry's where readers will be able to vote on their favorite photograph. Rules: Since this is OC-Outdoors, the monthly contest will focus on outdoor topics.  Some may stray off somewhat since "outdoors" is a very broad subject, but I'll keep it within that topic for this contest. The topic will be announced on or around the 1st of every month All entries must be received by the 20th of every month All entries will be posted the 21st and votes will be tallied thru the 30th Winners will be announced on the 30th Everyone that wants to enter may email me 1 and only 1 photo for each months contest All photos submi

Chainsaws

I'm looking at getting a new chainsaw to maintain some of the woods that we have on our newly acquired 5.5 acres.  Currently I have an 18v battery operated cordless pole saw which works awesome for high up limbs and smaller trees and brush.  Now I'm to the point where I have most of that type of material cleaned up and  need somwthing with more power. I've looked at several different models of new chainsaws. I think I've decided to go with something with around 40cc and a 16-18" bar.  I know there are tons of different brands out there, but is it worth the extra money to go Stihl chainsaw or Husqvarna chainsaw?  I am very new to the chainsaw world so I would love some opinions and experiences from others.  What do you feel is the best chainsaw?  Please leave your comments and let me know what you use and how you like it or maybe some things you don't like about it!  Help me decide what chainsaw to buy!
