As a U. S. forest service employee of 40 years, now retired for 12 years: the forest employee in engineering in this video should be commended for being such a good embassador to the public. I am glad Diego was stocking up on firewood as the Forest Service is getting parts of their roads cleaned for free and he is getting free firewood for the taking. This is the way the USFS has dealt with the public since it's conception.

Overall yes, my interactions have been great. I’ve only had one lady at the Forrest service office that was rude and condescending towards me. All i wanted were a few maps and she tried to belittle me for wanting to hunt quail. It was a crappy experience. Oh well, I appreciate what you all do out there.

As a retired Federal LE and wildlands firefighter, get the name of that person and file a written complaint. There is to be ZERO confrontation of ANY Federal employee with ANY member of the public and she needs to be put in her place. File that complaint and it'll send that district a distinct message- Don't be screwing with the public.

Cottonwood isn't a hot burning wood, but it still puts out heat. Let it dry thoroughly and it'll burn just fine. Good for those "transitional" nights where you need some heat, but not a lot. Random Forest Service guy was a good guy. Not wrapped up tight in his own ego and trying to lord it over the common folks. He recognized that Diego was doing a good service and getting the wood was his reward for the effort. A win-win scenario in my book.

If the fire in your stove is already too hot, you can put in a chunk or two of "cool" wood and bring the room temp down quite nicely. I've kept a little "cool" wood on hand all winter long. A wood stove can put out a lot of heat, and up in the afternoon it can be too much.

On "hanging in/over the road would become standing deadwood, a danger to public and wildlife alike"- Mmm, I'm not arguing for deadwood to be left up near roads or paths. Danger to public, that's no good. But specifically on being a danger to wildlife, I don't see that as a problem. If it falls on a deer, then scavengers, bugs, etc. get to eat, part of the circle of life. And standing deadwood is important for many animals. Many make shelter or find food in it, like many invertebrates and woodpeckers. Although with droves of trees dying from things like emerald ash borer, maybe there's no shortage of that.

Great video! Thank you for posting it! My two very young daughters and I used to go into the forest near us to cut firewood. We could only get dead-and-down logs. I bought a used chain saw with a really long bar. It was heavy but we’d manage a pretty good load. Took all day! Needed the firewood to use in a stove I built/welded from a water-holding tank that was given to me. Bought a Sotz kit that included the legs, a feed door, pattern to cut for the chimney, etc. Didn’t feel safe going through the roof with the chimney so replaced a window with a good-sized section of about a quarter inch thick steel with a hole for the chimney to go through. 2 elbows to take the chimney from the stove to the outside and then up. Added sections of straight pipe up to the height I needed and anchored it in place. Spark arrester at the top. Worked very well. Warmest heat I’ve ever had!! Much less expensive than propane heat or electric heat. There is no natural gas here at 7,000 foot elevation in the mountains of Arizona. And, yes, we used to get quite a bit of snow that would last for days. Not nearly as much now. But we were warm! Not bad for 9 and 6 year old girls with a mom who was a nurse. That was around 1980. I am very proud of my daughters. Too bad there aren’t more daughters like them today. And they are still not afraid to work!

Hey Diego get yourself a leaf blower for cleaning up the road after harvesting wood. I like my GT Worx with a battery. Should be able to charge on your solar setup. I also have the trimmer and some of the tools. I did that intentionally to get additional batteries that operate several different tools. I also get free for life spools for the edger. Most are under $100 so are a great value. I use mine for all kinds of jobs... sweeping out the garage for instance.

On the Marty T channel he actually uses a respirator mask to eliminate both the oil/gas fumes and the fine sawdust.... clean air into the lungs..... He uses an electric Stihl for limbing. If you use full synthetic mix oil that reduces the smoke by a huge amount. 025 Stihl that I've had for 28 years loves it! If you had a trailer you could carry a small single cylinder diesel powered splitter on it...doubles your wood carrying capacity and saves your back. Marty T also made a log lifter using the ram on the splitter to lift rounds up onto a tray he attached to the splitter... that tray takes care of storing split off chunks while you are dealing to the hunk actively being split. Thanks for an enjoyable vid that just records life "as it happens". Murray is a good man with a great work ethic...and treats members of the public as they should be treated. Subbed.

A little tip Diego: on the bigger pieces of wood, don't try and split it from the center. Start on the outside about 5" inches in from the outside. Keep splitting this way around the outside until you have a piece about 12" in diameter left, then you can split that from the center.

Log splitter would make life much easier, especially if you buck it down and split it before loading into the truck! They are on wheels for a reason. 😜

I think I’ve figured out why the longer blade - less bending over. When you get older that bending over wears you out.

A good firewood supply is something that covers not only this winter, not only next winter, but the winter after that as well, giving the logs plenty of time to dry out and season nicely. Some species won't need that much drying time, but others (cottonwood is notoriously slow to dry) can literally require a couple of years. If it were me, I'd consider building & running 2 separate woodsheds, so there's always one you're drawing from that's the seasoned wood, plus a second full one that's busy curing. That way, you'll always know which is the older lot of wood. (But that's me, lol; you do you!)

Big fan Diego, I have binged on your shaking videos and am sorry to be late with comments. In BC the old time loggers would retire from the bush and split shakes for a pension. There was no social safety net so they would buy a couple of pallets of blocks from the mills and sell them back as shakes and double their money, tough old birds. I saw the old railway station building in Revelstoke BC roofed with 11/2" fir shakes, I think so they could weather a bit every year and still last a long time. cheers

I second on the trailer. Also get you like a 10 or 12 ton winch so you can pull the logs up on the road and then pull them onto the trailer. And a couple of blocking tackles to help change the angle.

Nice work Diego/Random Forest Service Guy, it is allot of work and its rewarding in the best personal way, I help a nephew of mine12 yrs ago who bought 20 acres of land to build a home on and it was pure forest no road in, we parked on the side of the gravel road and walked over the ditch on a few 2 by 12's we brought along, there was a far amount of water in the ditch still, he bought 2 new Stihl chainsaws with 20" bars and 4 chains we cut and limbed almost 100 trees that day and almost as many the next day, it was the fall of the year so it never was to warm, it sure was a good feeling to get that done, we did almost the same the next weekend, it was a mixture of poplar and oak and i got 2 small loads of each which was enough firewood for my fire pit for 2 summers, it felt good and was nice to sit around the fire remembering the fun we had clearing those trees, they were not as big as the ones you were clearing /cutting up, when the bulldozer showed up to cut in his road to where the house was going to be , boy did it make short work of the tree stumps we left behind, great video 👍
