Duration of day: 16 hours, 8 minutes
(6 minutes, 51 seconds shorter than yesterday)
After a few hours of work, I am willing to post an update photo and take a short break. I also took photos of the insects infesting the birch trees we felled. When I go back out, I will take my small chain saw and begin to cut 4' sections until the trunk becomes too large.

| Progress |
Although I didn't intend to originally, I am now going to cut the kindling pile into smaller lengths. It will make it easier to stack for drying. I have searched through the web more times than I care to admit looking for the red/black beetle in the last photo. I dropped off a sample at the UAF Cooperative Extension Gardening Department. They will probably be able to tell me what the insect is on Monday.
