I don't go after fire wood much anymore. A few of the sites we build homes on have trees that have to go and I try to salvage the wood. Or I let the young bucks root around in the woods and buy the wood from them. But when I did get my own I always used your number 2 method of cutting a on the lead end, hitching the chain under the log so it tended to lift a little. And limbs were not a problem on good buckskin.
But you are right about the terrain. I admit I didn't worry too much about it then, but it's very true. JH
