$360 WORTH OF FIREWOOD IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS!

Free firewood calls come in once in a while and some are good ones! When the wood is cut into rounds and right next to the road an all I have to do is load and run...I am your man! This one might lead to a lot more FREE firewood for me!

[@alanburke1893]

I knew of a self-made millionaire...ended up with one of the biggest private property portfolios in the County. Was in his 70s driving back from visiting his grandchildren on a Sunday morning and spotted a pile of free tree service wood. Within an hour he was spotted in overalls loading his truck. Some cynics laughed...when he died he was buried in a coffin he bartered his dad's guns for when he was maybe 40. Left millions to local charities ...a legend...life long believerr in the goodness of average Americans instead of trying to turn a quick buck lying to and trying to scare them. 🇺🇸

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, my motto is help people when they need it not when you have time and give more that you take! That is what makes a man.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I always cringe when they call and say I’ve got free wood all cut up for ya . 9 time outa 10 is cut crooked and in various lengths but that stuff didn’t look to bad . Nice score Chris keep building them relationships and you will never have to buy wood again

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, some times it is good...others not so much!

[@Ninefingers398]

Free wood is my favorite type of wood and that 1 looked sweet. Could you maybe park trailer somewhere close and go back and forth with truck, it is 2x loading but you dump it at the end and save some mileage

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Chris!!😀😀 Nice wood! Too bad you couldn't make her understand that you can get in and out with the baby dumper and not do any damage. The landscaper must pull a trailer when he comes to mowe her lawn. Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

[@heymakerphd1982]

You might want to consider a fun junket to Las Vegas. When your luck is that powerful it'd be a shame to not use it! - For the next while, you could really use a ton dump truck, dump, haul heavier loads, and don't need a trailer to haul more than a cord. The dump function is an incredible, awesome, astonishing labor and time saver. - With all that firewood coming to you, will you be able to sell it all? Deliver? Maybe your buddies, Buffett and Gates will help you. They know firewood is where the big bucks are.

Nice oak rounds, load em up! Same thing happened to me this last week, some old firewood, dry, cut to length weathered,tiny bit of rot starting, but good to go. Easy money! A dozen loads for you at that pace is over 2k inventory in 2 days, PLUS the networking, most valuble of all

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the networking is the real key...it opens a lot more doors!

[@pyroman6000]

You were reading my mind again, weren't you, Chris... That is exactly what I'm doing today- going and getting free wood. Ecxept mine is hard maple- greenish, and very old well seasoned soft maple. I hafta cut the latter, as its big logs n chunks, but thats fine- its still solid, and dries out in days. ( The fire pit is hungry!!)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome, get to it!

[@johnsonr9]

Great find and worth the exercise. Good contacts/relationships are key to all kinds of things including free firewood.

[@markdyballuk]

nice find! i collect wood from a park near us in my wheelbarrow... free wood is very good wood no matter how you have to collect it!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds great!

[@cobra-mn745]

sometimes to get wood all you need is to be at the right place at the right time with the right equipment. Brother pulled into a gas station to get fuel pulling a 14ft dump trailer and a tree service walks over and asked if he knew anyone that would like some wood. They really didn't want to be making 50 mile trips back to the shop with it. Brother calls me up and says to stick around and he's on his way. It turned out I ended up with 4 loads of wood that day and a 10 gallon fuel bill

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is awesome...yup, knowing people and being alert is the way!

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Nice score. Looks like guy did good job on length. Every place I go 4 inches to 3 feet. I would had to cut most down. You must have strong back. Keep up the good work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a lot of tree service wood is all over the place...their job is to get it on the ground.... not make firewood.

[@noenwarrior1]

[@JesseLJohnson]

I get people that call me every now and then that had a tree cut down or one that blew over wanting me to come clean it up. They pay me and I get wood. Really nice when they had a tree service come in to take them down and they are already all limbed up and all that mess gone lol. Had one recently that had about a 24 inch hard maple taken down. Gave me $150 to remove it and I got probably around a full cord to sell. It was real dead standing the bark was already falling off when I picked it up was ready to sell basically as soon as I split it. It was on the side of her driveway too so not like I had to go out into the woods or anything it was right there on her driveway

That is a whole lot of good looking wood already cut. Too bad you can't bring the trailer in. It costs a lot more to make the extra trips. Sounds like you have a couple of good contacts, because you can't have too much wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, lots of wood to come!

[@iffykidmn8170]

A similar chance meeting several years back gave me access to a 640 acre heavily wooded property 45 minutes from home with private dirt bike trails to boot, it saves me a 3hr drive to state trails and I have keys for access anytime I want. Did a tree removal 🤑on same said property on Wed next to his home and he sent me home with his Stihl 460 for a rebuild job🤑, returning his saw tomorrow and removing another tree🤑 near his house which he does not feel comfortable with dropping. 🤑sometimes a guys just falls into it and other times you step in it.🤪

Is there a way that you could park one of the trailers at the property and go back and load your truck and then take to the trailer and transfer the wood to it. You could maybe save yourself some time and work? 🤔👍❤️😃

NO! She said NO trailers So I did what I was told and now I have access to thousands of dollars of free wood.

[@neilmeyers5519]

Dangit, you'll be buffed and chiseled in no time flat! Maybe Bert could fix up a log lift for yout Ultra. That would help wiht the oak.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have several log lifts ...my arms, Gavin, Bert and Adam AND a tractor..... I have used several splitters with log lifts, they do not save time or much effort and are mostly used as tables and it is smarter to either buy smaller wood or rip the big ones down so you do not have to wrestle those big nasty ones around to get them to and on your machine. But I am no expert, I only sell a couple hundred cords every year.

[@A.w.kiraaa]

Take ur dump trailet park it on the side road outside the property. Get the wood with the truck and stack it in the trailer That way u get more wood in one trip.

[@InTheWoodyard]

She said NO trailers so I did what she wanted to build trust and now I am in like Flin! If i showed up with a trailer I would not have been let in....even the lawn guy has to park way out on the next road with his trailer or he would not be allowed in so...

[@stever4360]

I doubt it, the lawn guy who got me in there has a small utility trailer for his rider and he is not allowed to drive in her driveway either after doing the lawn for over 10 years now ...he parks on the street. so...

[@ricardosaucedo5998]

Hey Chris … don’t think that comment ‘I must be pretty strong …. smelling!’ went unnoticed! Also, was there the option of taking your big dumper and leaving it outside the property, then just shuttling loads out with your pickup and totally loading it up? The. Hauling it back?
