5 Day Firewood Haul at My Cabin in the Woods

being the son of a country red neck. and doing things you do as a kid. getter done.

Get a chainsaw winch that can be hooked to an anchor point and will pull logs up out of a ditch. It is gasoline powered and doesn't have to be attached to the electrical system of a vehicle. It can also be used to pull stuck vehicles out. My Dad took his into the woods when he chopped down leaners and drug them back to the cabin. Living in AK, my dad lived off grid and chopped 40 cords of wood per year for hear in the cabin, cooking and sauna. He continued it for the 18 years he lived off grid into his 80's.

You work so hard!

What brand is your water bottle?

You need to put your boots on when you are working with power tools.this from a 71year old granny from South Africa😊

Hello Diego, I guess that if you make the cable Shotter it will go better.

We love splitting and stacking wood! Love heating the home with it. Nothing more satisfying.

I your worried about polluting a stream with bar oil, I've been using corn oil in my DeWalt for years.mainly cause I use some of the wood for smoking.

One thing about fire wood, it heats you up in the summer before it'll heat you up in the winter.

Never seen someone working so hard in the last few years. Have you considered a blower to clean the roads?

Use vegetable oil it's just as good, and I know a lot of arborist that do just that.

You need a hydraulic log splitter asap, you'll never regret it and it saves a ton of time.

There are bar oils that are environmentally friendly. Vegetable oil works.

You need a winch. A come along would be better than dragging them. You could mount a boat winch on a steel plate welded to a piece of square tubing that fits your receiver.

Talk with wood carvers they love it.

Chop up the cedar for kindling, it smells so nice.

Never seen anybody work so hard to get nothing done.

Have you thought about putting a wrench on you truck.

Great videos. The dry rotten wood will burn really really well as its not solid it gets dryer and more airflow when burning, great when first starting a fire but not what you want to use once the fire is up to speed.

cedar and pine is not fire wood! creosote catches fire. is NOT GOOD. I have had 2 chimney fires in my life. I am 60 and use fire wood my whole life. you might be good with that cedar. since it is so old. Here in KY we use it for fence post. good for 25 years

Keep up the good work. I'll be watching your uploads.

Barn chain oil ,? can you find an alternative oil such as food based oil ,like what catering companies use in the production machine s , just an idea ☺️

That is a gorgeous woodshed!

Boy youv got your work cut out ,IF YOU USE ONE OF THE WOOD SHEDS SUPPLY (one ) each year , you will need about 60 sheds to last a lifetime , Have you the space to do this , ,and have you found a carbide tungsten chain , to buy , please keep VIDIOS coming ,🇬🇧👍

I believe Cedar is a soft coniferous wood. Typically not used for firewood as it is a quick flashier burn emitting lower BTUs. Try to stick to hard wood. Cherry, maple, ash, iron wood as examples. Good luck. Fire wood is great exercise. I did it for eleven years when we lived in upstate NY near Lake Ontario.

Use vegetable oil if your afraid of oil getting in water

I hadn't even thought of oil contaminating a waterway. If you ever wanted to go back there you could use vegetable oil instead of bar and chain oil. A friend mentioned they do that when cutting up big moose at his butcher shop. might be worth a try.

Can you burn cedar for heat?

Hey Diego, when chopping wood right before your axe or maul hits the wood lean it to the side slightly and it will make it split better.

Good video, bears love to eat chain oil like honey. I believe it is wheat based but I know it is non toxic. cheers

Montana is better, Washington is full of homeless people.

Just found your channel. Great work ethic and along for the journey

Thanks for helping the man cleaning up all those roads from trees and etc.

Just found your channel, great content! Why don’t you have a gas powered chainsaw and also a power wood splitter? I live in Kirkland, Washington would love to visit someday!👍👍🇺🇸

I love watching anything to do with firewood I have things I could share but it looks like you really got it taken care of why did firewood for room and board for 6 and 1/2 years. I like anything to do with firewood. And you shouldn't run out of killing for a long time there's nothing wrong with candlein

You need a log splitter and a dump trailer

Just found your channel, subscribed, these wood gathering videos is like be part of the Washington State road crew. One man doing all the work while we all sit back and watch 😄 someone say lunch time ☕️🥪
Looking forward to your other videos.

Diego you can walk to your wood pile while they're laying on the ground and swept through them with your maul or your double-headed axe that way you don't have to handle them so much

How many cords do you use per year?

Watching another video. I enjoyed watching you build the wood shed

Already going to have to add on to your new shed..😅

He looks like a main character.

Nice to see someone using a pickup truck for pickuptrucking.

Amazing work on the cover for your fire wood. Congratulations 🎊🎉

It's always great to watch a much younger person I'm 77 years with the get up and go, to do so much on their own for themselves and others. Your elder neighbour surely appreciates your efforts. A comment from Nova Scotia , Canada on the Atlantic ocean , just south of Newfoundland/.Labradour, where in my province we have access to the ocean 35 miles from where you may be in any direction.

The wood shed you constructed is much more pleasing to the eye than the bought ones.

Great video your a hard worker. And I can tell from your actions your respectful nature.

Concrete too wet strength is reduced greatly.

I am curious...with all that axe work have you ever thought about investing in a hydraulic log splitter ? I have one at our ranch and couldn't live without it.
