Mike, For your purpose, the log is priceless. Your getting out of the house, in the woods doing what you love to do. Money can't buy that!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

You get it! Exactly

[@granols8240]

Well said

[@dmart706]

So true

[@carlolson1203]

Wow. I just found a video I hadn’t seen. Very nice.

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Thanks for sharing!

[@russellbowman8051]

Wow you are like A robot or a machine!! You are always steady at the wood cutting!! 👊

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Mike!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks For Watching!

[@gregdefouw9802]

Thanks mike 🤜👍

[@dr.giggetywhiggety9042]

Good video

[@106pricey]

Wow, 100 bucks a face? That's steep. Northeast PA is about 200 a cord average. That is some absolutely beautiful firewood. I envy you.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes its pricey around here

[@Xaviar002]

I am very happy to have found this channel. I am from Ontario, Canada, 22 years old university student. I want to thank you fir documenting this, it's youtube channels like yours that have gotten me through university, I may not have the time to go amd do this stuff as much as I like, but at least I can get some entertainment and practical knowledge from others. Looking to go into the firewood business with my dad, we're thinking of may be getting log delivers from loggers because for one it's easier, two you really don't need larger equipment amd three we will be buying a wood lot that we won't be living on, so size may be lacking. Have you ever considered this form of a firewood business? I know it's not at all the same, but it's something.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks Ben, I used to sell a lot of firewood, still sell quite a bit but now just because I enjoy it

[@Xaviar002]

Outdoors With The Morgans Awesome, I very much enjoy it too. Only one summer into it myself. Very challenging work without machinery but such a nice break from university.

[@redclayfarm6490]

If your calculating what "the tree is worth" you have to subtract the cost of production and labor to get the log to the mill and the firewood delivered. The stumpage value of the tree is maybe a little over $100

[@davidvanderwood9649]

Mike, dead on time change does suck - your not alone on that one

[@benanddebbie1]

I like the new intro, its like a subdued version of inside out

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks!

[@TheTorkerman]

Great intro Mike!!! Cool

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks!

[@wizard1800]

I cant wait to see the final outcome.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I know I'm curious as well, we will know this weekend

[@justinperry6470]

Well that does make a big difference. 12’x19” log should get about 169BF of lumber That will be about $126.75

[@bobvanarkel7583]

My new revised $$$ Amt 19" x 12' = 169 board ft. × $0 .75 = $126.75 in lumber value + 2.5 face cords (rics) x $100 each = Grand toal $376.75

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I think you are going to be right in there

[@jameslane2667]

🎥 good video there is about $600 worth of firewood right there that you showed James KCMO

[@mickeandersson1723]

Greetings Mike (from Sweden, home of the Husqvarnas) :) Really enjoy your videos! Seen most of them but have started from the beginning and have now seen the 50 first. You never did part two of the chicken coop episode? Or have I missed it? Looking for small tractor right now and i really like the BX25. Sadley the are wery rare sweden/northern europe. Anyway, thats how i found your channel. So keep the videos coming, im addicted by this point :) Just really enjoy watching your videos, thanks a lot for brining them! /Mikael from Sweden

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thank you very much! There was a change of plans on chicken coop, you will see that in future video

[@mickeandersson1723]

Ok, looking forward to!

[@WILSON.1]

Okay, .75 a bd ft sold to the mill, that's true. I thought you were talking about its value as lumber.

[@jeffgannon1]

Log 170 bf. worth maybe 200. Firewood 1 to 2 cords say 2 at 140 a cord. 480 total.

[@harrywoods9987]

Mike, you should get a cantdog to roll those butt logs with. IT would keep the log clean as it appears you get dirt on the bottom when you drag them! Hard on those saw chains!!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I have one, it was back at the house lol

[@wgoode505]

Great video. Was wondering if you ever made the video for the people who sent in pictures of their tractors and what they use them for ?

[@snymat68]

It's video #80.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes I did, It was called "How to Choose Your Perfect Tractor" Check it out

[@frankhanes8005]

I say saw log atv126.75 as it's 169 board feet and your fire wood I'd say another $150 as u likely get a face cord and a half maybe two. Thanks

[@dmart706]

Red oak is my favorite tree I wish I was there helping I wish I could smell the wood cut

[@Xaviar002]

You stack your firewood in facecords without any thing on top. Have you ever done it any other way? I always pictured stacking it in single cord cords and having a tarp on top. I have also seen people wrap landscape fabric around it. Water can't penetrate but air can. Any thoughts on this? I think learning the most efficient way to season your firewood is very important. Ever considered a solar kiln or those German circle stacks? Thanks for all the grrat content.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I cover it about a month before it's time to start using it

[@Xaviar002]

Outdoors With The Morgans Thanks for your response.

[@krapgame1]

19" outside the bark = 17" inside the bark x 12' =126 ft = $94.50 2.5 face cord = $250 $345 total

[@waynecoley4876]

I can’t stand the time change either Mike. Weekends only for outdoor work sucks. My guess is around $380.00

[@thomaswiberg1588]

Maybe off topic. But wondering if you have a grapple bucket for your tractor? If so thoughts on it?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Not yet but i will have one soon

[@dsmith3239]

Ok, a revised estimated guess in USD, $225.00 for the log and another $350.00 for the firewood......total $575.00. BTW, how do you enjoy that older Stihl chainsaw? I don't want to get into a debate on brands, but I have found the Stihl saws to be very capable and long lasting saws. Prior to switching to a Stihl 025 19 years ago, I had an old Pioneer (the thing was a beast but I used it for almost 20 years). Five years ago, my old Stihl 025 was showing signs of use, so I got a MS250 which I continue to use today. Yeah, it is far from the biggest and the best of the Stihl saws, but I find it is a great saw for what I use it for. Usually cut four to five cords of wood per year, mainly softwoods, except for some birch. Would really enjoy to be able to cut some oak and cherry, but they are hard to find around here, unless they are blow-downs in homeowners yards after a wind storm. Thanks, and all the best.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

All I can say about Stihl is I have had that 036 for well over 20 years and it still runs like a beast, Thats about all I have to say about that

[@augustreil]

You go Forrest !

[@WalkerOutdoors]

I got $800 each for 4 logs just like that last winter here in Illinois

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Red Oak?

[@WalkerOutdoors]

Outdoors With The Morgans White Oak

[@hamed3423]

How much is a 60ft tree (loblolly pine? Worth at a diameter of 12-14 inches?

[@acepowdercoating3089]

👍

[@dougmoore7116]

127.50 for the log 275 in firewood. $ 402.50 is my guess

[@snakedriver73]

Saw log must be loaded onto something in order to get it to the mill. It's more than the tractor will lift all at once. Load with tractor one end at a time with a chain on the loader? Doing that for free? There is overhead to everything.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Oh I know there is overhead in everything, we are just doing a comparison on log value vs firewood in this series. I broke down all my costs in a video "can you make money selling firewood"

[@snakedriver73]

Outdoors With The Morgans Hi Mike, I wasn't intending to be critical in any way, please understand. My comment was to merely mirror my own observation (and often consternation) that sometimes folks don't consider all which is involved in the product they consume and then either intentionally or unwittingly guilt the producer because of the price. I'm on your side, my friend. Jerry in northwest Georgia.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Totally understand and didn't take it that way at all.

[@martyh9095]

For pricing, will the saw log end up boards or is it veneer quality?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

For this exercise just figuring what it would be worth sold to mill

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

I don't like the time change also.

[@trevorholland296]

Glad I seen your comment I knew I didn't subscribe to everyone when I made my new channel

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Trevor Holland Oh ok. Well thanks!!

[@petezahutt5174]

My readjust is 625.00

[@stonecropfirewood3393]

Where I live facecords go for 55or 65

[@cabinviewfirewood]

I say $954 total

[@adamholbrook2281]

I didn't see a video on your woodstove(s) what are you burning all this firewood up in? Thanks for the videos.

[@imysteryman]

Between 250 and 275

[@frugaldrew5187]

Not saying you don't know better but don't forget to paint the end of that log before it starts checking!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yea, I will get that done, Summer I do it immediately this time of year I don't have to hurry so much

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

reducing my previous guess, 135 to the mill, 200 in firewood, and some secret sauce calcs, $352.50 otherstuffbybob had 352

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I think you will be close

[@Michael-yi2vw]

2 face cords of firewood I would guess from what I saw.

[@gregbrown1083]

Why only one saw log? Looks like you could get two or maybe three. Is the mill a big outfit or a d.i.y. outfit? I would think big dia. logs would be worth more per board foot. You can make plenty of firewood out of littler stuff, some of it would not even need to be split.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I just used going price delivered to the mill

[@digbyodell2924]

Revised down about $90 to $400.

[@portugeeprepper6821]

REVISED ESTIMATE On a 12' x 19" wide log $126.75 2 1/2 face cord $250 TOTAL=$376.75

[@bobvanarkel7583]

Portugee Prepper Your math is off 3/4 (.75) x $300 = $225 not $250

[@portugeeprepper6821]

2 1/2 face cord sorry Farmerbob

[@bobvanarkel7583]

You big copycat Your 10hrs too late! Check my guess out!

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Guess what Farmerbob but your not the only one that can google a Doyle scale and splits wood

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I think that is going to be close

[@thetruth8958]

[@dr.giggetywhiggety9042]
