Too late to be putting up wood for this winter. Firewood needs to dry out for a year. Burn it “green” and you’ll get much less heat. I also can predict a rash of chimney fires from the creosote buildup before the winter is over.

I have been cutting fire wood for over 40 years. Most people have no business around a chain saw.
Alway have 2 cord of wood carried over from the previous year.
I also only cut standing dead trees. Let them be for 2 years, and cut them up. No need to wait. Check them with a moisture meter, and burn it if needed.

I’d be also betting a good number of people in the ER with chainsaw related injuries as one thing I learned from working with one (at my property with a local farmer) is that it is not about how dangerous chainsaws are, but how very unforgiving they can potentially be.

I’m sure there’s dead fall all over in many areas. I could hear my house for years on that alone where I’m at and I cut and split 2-3 cords a year mainly for the deck fireplaces.
