55 - Gal. Barrel Used For Kindling
 ✖  |
To neatly bundle up kindling, I cut an old 55-gal. barrel in half, cut the bottom off and cut it again in half lengthwise. I just lay two baler twine strings about 6 ft. long in the open half barrel and pile wood in it until level. Then, I use a piece of wood to twist the two strings tight. This gives me a neat bunch of kindling that's easy to handle.
I also had problems with raccoons and bears eating the birdseed in my feeder. I solved that problem by putting an electric fence around the bird feeder and connecting it to the electric fence that surrounds my horse pasture. Most of the time I don't even need to keep it hooked up because once the raccoons have been shocked, they don't go near it again. It works very well.
