FIREWOOD HARVESTING WITH NEW INVENTION

OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY Got the call from a neighbor that there was some seasoned oak logs on the back of the property that we could have, so we dropped everything and went right over.

This was a great time to test the LOGOX and SWISHER log splitter together as a efficient firewood harvesting system. We were not disappointed, the LOGOX 3 in 1 forestry tool worked like a charm, the system is easy to change over from a cant hook to a log jack, it is just very versatile and worth a look, HERE IS THE WEBSITE :
www.thelogox.com and MADE IN THE USA (use coupon code "offgrid")
The Swisher log splitter is a boss, the 34 ton super duty log splitter with the Kawasaki just powered through the logs, some of them were knotty and twisted but that did not matter. This log splitter is American made right here in Missouri and gets the job done.

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

[@TheWonderwy]

One of the most enjoyable videos ever of making firewood! Thank you Doug. It is always fun to watch you working hard;) The tools are GREAT. I went to the website for the Log Ox after seeing it on your video of the show. All these years later and they are still made in the USA, and still quality and affordable. The splitter is a dream come true for us older folks.

[@LogOXUSA]

Thanks for noticing Debra, the LogOX will continue to be made in America or not made at all. US steel and energy prices these days aren't making that commitment easy, but it's the only way we'll do business.

[@briantrombley8817]

Wow..... You made that look easy. Aging-in-place is something you're always talking about and you have showed how using this equipment can making gathering firewood for the winter much easier. Great Video Doug!

[@MrMikey1224]

Really? It's a chainsaw and a wood splitter, everyone who burns wood has these, settle down

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

[@ritakanui7224]

Love this site saves money intuition and is health and wellness website if you live off the grid! Check it out using; tools, vinegar, epsom salt and probiotics recipe and how to grow you foods, flowers, vegetables and fruits! Awesome!

[@geraldking1501]

Nice job! Didn't know Swisher made a splitter and the offgrid discount is cool. It was great to meet you both at Topeka Mother Earth News fair.

[@janetmccarter9561]

Doug, you created PERFECT pieces for the wood cook stove. I know you all will really benefit from the heat of Oak. Great video.

[@janetmccarter9561]

Also, you measured your log cuts by the length of the chain saw. Great idea.

[@dennisst.germaine3497]

Thanks for sharing the video with us. Your production and editing skills are exceptional, and obviously well liked by the number of subscribers you have! All the comments are good and reflect the quality of the products you demonstrated, but I want to comment on the importance of the GOOD neighbors that you & Stacy are blessed with! The giving of the wood, the sharing of their equipment, and just the all around good vibe of having people living in your community that aren't envious of your good fortune (you guys are very Blessed and highly Favoured), and give freely to help you spread and promote this Homesteading lifestyle! Thanks for listening

[@lisabooker6405]

This was very cool. The four way splitter was awesome. I love the LogOx tool for saving your back!!! As someone who's had multiple spinal surgeries (7), I have to say this tool would be invaluable! Thanks so much for sharing and all you do. Love, hugs and blessings, Lisa

[@jtc1947]

YESSS! Enjoyed the vid about the Log-Ox and the Swisher Splitter! STAY SAFE & BLESSED BE!

[@bscott9741]

So Cool! Just loved watching withing any narration - like the video you did awhile back about all the livestock on the homestead.

[@lindahumphrey9113]

Finally....somebody that discovered a better system/tool! I could REALLY fall in love with that gadget! I'm older and for me...trying to keep lifting a log up to cut it is hard on my back joints just trying to get it raised to cut it up. Whoever developed it.............was an absolute genius. Thanks for sharing! It's on the 'to get' list as we speak..definitely a 'must have'.I hear so many people argue with why they don't like heating with wood because of all the work to do it..Imagine if they only had a BETTER tool. Amazing.

[@AsiaticBW]

Great Machines, I was already so happy to see how far tools have developed then you put the attachment on and it cut the wood in four. Thank you so much Doug.

[@gloriamachado882]

WOW SUCH AN AWESOME TOOL. LOVE IT! FROM TUCSON, ARIZONA HERE 🌵🌺🌵 LOVE YOURS AND WIFES VIDEOS NEW HERE THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH WONDERFUL VIDEOS.

[@raynall3593]

Now that's the way the do firewood. Very good tools. Saves a lot of bending and good looking log splitter.

[@silvershadow7245]

Oh! Thank you so much for this video! I now know what I am getting my husband for Christmas. Cutting and splitting wood can be so backbreaking.

[@southernhen]

So glad Doug talked to us at the end, I missed his narration. ❤️ Love you guys!

[@annotoole5864]

Thanks for showing this in action. My brother-in-law sells firewood for a supplemental winter living as this would be great for him (especially now that he is 50 and has been doing it for 20 years). I am definitely going to share this with him. Oh, and be careful pulling that wood from the backside of the splitter...its possible to get your hand caught (known it to happen) especially if someone is wearing gloves or a long sleeve shirt.

[@yvonnekoedood4611]

nice tool your working with great demonstration thanks doug

[@Juanita621]

Does anyone here feel like Doug & Stacy have made us part of their family? I sure do, they are sharing their life with us and it just gives a sense of being connected. God bless all!! 🙏❤️🙏

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Thanks sis 😉

[@Juanita621]

@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY 😁 You guys are awesome, and surely loved! 💕

[@ebenwoodsfarm1693]

Great video Doug. I'm cutting alot of firewood now as well. Love the log ox!! I will definitely be getting one. Also love the above shots.

[@Jayadams2004]

Good looking introduction crew!! Great video as well. Thanks for sharing these tool options out there

[@RunawayRummage]

Just ordered the logox combo set. Right now you get $10 off from the seller and $10 off using OFFGRID from Doug and Stacy. I purchased for my husband (us) for Christmas but we will use it this fall. Thanks for showing us this product.

[@tooge47]

I put a Swisher wedge on my Troy Bilt 27 ton splitter several years ago, what an improvement !!

[@jkhenderson1]

Love that tool! Saw it on the harvest festival video you did. And! That log splitter is amazing! that's working smarter not harder! Again, another great video!

[@jerrybates5791]

A wonderful relaxing video. Sometimes actions are better than words. Loved the music.

[@yarekim5932]

That equipment is AWESOME Doug !!! Sheesh ! Thats the way to do it .

[@stephenbradley6258]

Great video adventure thanks for sharing this with us. Have a great day.

[@debbiemurray4365]

Glad to see ya made it back home safely. Enjoyed seeing u and Stacy at the fair. Used my Logox as soon as we got back home. Great tool. Love the investment. By the way, glad u were wearing your shoes again!

[@LogOXUSA]

Hi Debbie, thanks for stoping by and visiting us at the fair! We're glad to hear that you've been enjoying using your new LogOX already, we appreciate the feedback!

[@hollyhock3945]

Getting wood ready for winter is hard work but we did it as a family and had hot cocoa to look forward to.

[@DeusVolo]

The video was soooo relaxing to watch.

[@redatlanta6419]

So relaxing to watch and the equipment was very interesting. Thanks!

[@paulamay8718]

Awesome video. Definitely will buy both the Logox and the Swisher. I'm a older female and these are great tools.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Paula May they deliver right to the door and this set up is great for the 1 person show

[@tpfarm3535]

You made my morning!! As you're spilting logs, your link to 'How To Make Flavored Toothpicks' came up. I had a good laugh!! 😅 I really like that tool! It sparked my interest at the expo but even more so watching you use it. My only concern is I may need two, so I'm am balanced while carrying logs! 👍👍

[@mandbhomestead]

Great video, love the products. I will have to check them out. Thanks for sharing

[@suemcfarlane4199]

What a great windfall seasoned oak that sound wonderful

[@deborapettigrew1258]

Just fantastic sure saves a lot of stress on your back and no more axe swinging to split the wood into useable size. Now that is preparing for the future. Great vid

[@LifeinFarmland]

Very slick tool. It is becoming that time of year. Been trying hard to hold of getting the stove light up but guessing I will be breaking down soon.

[@chelinfusco6403]

That was pleasant to watch. That's an excellent invention. Saves your back for sure.

[@holstonvalleyduke9882]

Love my LogOx tool. My back loves it even more! I still like having my Hookaroon separate and ready when i need it so I didn’t get their pickaroon attachment.

[@markdumitry8998]

great tools, makes the job easier! Thanks for sharing.

[@sueyates3555]

Cool tool. Very helpful. Love to have one.

[@jerrybates5791]

Terrific idea. Gotta get one for the farm.

[@eaglecamphomesteadswfl9006]

Doug that log tool is great, wow I got to get one differently a back and chain saver

[@kathleenzimmerman8227]

LOVED the folk guitar music! LOVED the drone footage! LOVED the 4-way splitter! LOVED the Log Ox! And, I KNOW I'm going to LOVE the LOGOSOL SMART SPLITTER that I just won on *Eric's* channel *Life in Farmland*!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D Thanks, again, Eric!!! It will help me in NUMEROUS ways!!! It's always nice to have tools that work with you, not against you! I agree with you, Doug. I would rather harvest firewood in the winter. *He who cuts his own wood, warms himself twice!* See? That's ANOTHER thing I never knew existed ... a 4-way splitting head. How COOL is THAT, eh? Thanks again for bringing another beautifully presented and informative video. I gotta say, tho ... I missed Stacey at the end saying *FB, Instagram & Twitter*. That's HER job, remember? LOL Love & prayers

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

WOW, congrats!!

[@richwood8538]

+OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY Thank you both for all the good, clean, informative and fun videos.

[@kathleenzimmerman8227]

Thank you, Doug! SERIOUSLY ... I have NEVER won ANYthing in my LIFE ... and NOW, *HOMESTEAD HOMIE OF THE MONTH ...AND..the Logosol splitter!!!* yeah,,, I don't know what to think or how to behave! Whenever something isn't working well for me, my mom says: "It's because you're not holding your mouth right." I guess I must be holding my mouth right, eh? lol You guys are AWESOME!!! LOVE you BOTH

[@katielakefarmandcottages5685]

Love all the equipment. Sure makes the job easier.

[@Tsiri09]

This looks amazing.

[@cjpiper2420]

It’s always nice to have the right equipment

[@arkyhog6529]

Great drone footage an that splitter is awesome. Boy wish I could afford one of those. Thanks again for another great video !!!!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

they have splitters starting at around 900 and you use coupon code "offgrid" to save more $$

[@Cdngardengirl]

Nice tool. We keep our trailer right by the splitter so we can throw the wood right in. Saves a lot of backache bending over to pickup splits.

[@clarkguerrero6849]

Sold, great tool. Thanks for sharing Doug. I saw that at the Homesteading or Mother Earth Fair video.

[@lonestarhomestead5415]

Very cool. I will check it out.

[@thomashoward7909]

thanks doug for this ideo ,but it is like watching grass grow , love it though

[@lucyramos1]

This is awesome. I would like to get one of these in the future.

[@chrisyoder3694]

I saw the video at a conference you posted about the OX , maybe it's time to get one. I've owned a Swisher log splitter for several years.

[@janetcroneberger9972]

Wow that swisher is pretty cool....I like the log ox also .

[@lukehereiam9188]

Wow. Great tool.

[@L2FlyMN]

You need to talk to Cody, “Wranglerstar” about sharpening your chainsaw. My saw was throwing sawdust instead of chips also. I never knew that you were supposed to file down the rakers as your sharpening your saws teeth until I was educated on that point.

[@sofiastefani]

Such a cool machine!

[@bernardflood8289]

Greetings from Ireland. Very satisfying.

[@christinestrider6406]

Noizyyyyyy😮 good thing you’re wearing hearing protection! And I would even put noise canceling ear plugs inside your ears, as well as those Stihl earmuffs❤

[@NewNurseOver50]

Yo Homestead Homies! Fantastic tool! Even I could cut logs with that thing.

[@mikegriffin3437]

Nice splitter. Cool music.

[@Backflipspagetti]

As a middle to lower class citizen, I will produce my own. I love this tool!

[@benfran8011]

Hoping I can get one of these when I have my own place and wood stove!

[@Backflipspagetti]

Drill a hole in the radius of the hook and add a pull string/chain extended to the upper handle for easier release of hook when relocating for next cuts.

[@eveny119]

The splitting forge is pretty awesome . And that ox thing is cool when you picked up the logs , I like it. *( You need to put a cart or trailer next to it so you can stack your split wood.)

[@cherryhillhomestead9829]

Looks like a great product. I would of had a tailor there to put the split logs in so I didn't have to pick it up again .

[@Wildevis]

That just looks so painless :-D

[@jedadruled984]

This ist great invention, I want one.

[@50shadesofgreen]

using the new tool you got from the show lol !! works really well

[@annettefournier9655]

Smooth as hot honey!!! God bless ancient mathmaticians The basics of physics. Leverage, planes and force. Gotta love it🤓🤓

[@artisticforge]

A suggestion would be to convert the log splitter to work off the tractor hydraulics. I converted the log splitter to work off the hydraulics of the Bobcat CT-335. I do not need to have a gasoline can for the log splitter. A good log jack is a must. a log peavey is a nice to have.. My days of cutting and splitting firewood are probably in the past. wheelchair bound.

[@WhistleThicket]

I just split by hand, but that looks like a handy tool to have! Of course I enjoy the exercise from splitting wood!

[@Harragan]

I thought that was something new. I actually right now live in Dallas Texas, in a rural area but still not quite country enough. However I did use to live in the Country long ago in Pennsylvania and Ohio, (Ohio is where I was born and raised. ) The reason I watch off the Grid is because when I get things settled down a bit more here and get my business going I plan to buy some waste land in West Texas and clean it up. I will need to get back to off grid living. I want to clean up the waste land and turn it into a spiritual retreat. I watch your videos so that I can get mentally prepared for my future plans.

[@EdEstes]

Was wondering why it didn't have a four-way splitter when you first started, so inefficient. Glad you remembered that attachment! :)

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

wanted to show both =)

[@wayaadisi3133]

Awsome video, awsome tool! Time to save more pennies!

[@nancyfahey7518]

VERY NICE !

[@brentgraves2636]

Love the video. Love that splitter and three in one tool as well. Also, what is your saw? I run saws professionally it just sounds under powered. I would recommend a tune or look in to something a little more powerful if you keep doing that oak. Great video!

[@oldoldpilgrim7898]

It's cool the way you measured where to cut with your saw blade. Why didn't I think of it?

[@BigJon358]

Good video

[@sweetbirdme]

Wow Doug,, Your getting really good at making these videos! ! Loving all the drone shots,, I use to love chopping wood.. But with these Great Tools I would have made this my new business..!!! Fantastic set up, can't think of a better more efficient way to chop wood.. Thanks Doug for sharing the journey and for doing what you do.. Sending Love from WA, ,=-)

[@kerrymarshall2802]

quit splitting wood so small it burns quicker

[@KerryStoots]

I sure wish David would get calls for our firewood at home. But he has and not went and we scrounge for firewood every winter. We have a wood stove and heat our 1300 sq ft home with it!

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

Nice tool. It might be awhile before we could afford something like that.

[@davidgaylord2035]

i like spliters that get to the top automatically return instead of boging down

[@donnadorrell2450]

very nice

[@brendacampbell2340]

Two questions - how many splinters did you get and why didn't you have your trailer nearby to throw the split logs in? Fantastic piece of labor saving machinery!

[@AnimalFacts]

I dunno why I was so captivated.... lol

[@OakKnobFarm]

Cool. I've considered buying a timber jack, but never really saw one in action. Thanks for sharing Doug. But I'll probably buy the old fashioned wood handle version, not the collapsible-fit-in-your-suitcase-James-Bond version

[@LogOXUSA]

@Oak Knob Farm the timberjack is actually only one feature of the LogOX, it's also a cant hook and unique log hauler that takes the back strain out of moving log rounds. We'll definitely take your "collapsible-fit-in-your-suitcase-James-Bond version," description of the LogOX as a compliment!

[@user-rq8lo2bd2s]

Great tools and "rhythm" in your work. The only "miss" I saw was not having a truck or trailer right there to throw the split wood on so you wouldn't have to pick it up again until you stacked it at home.

[@foxglove8836]

Cool !

[@DNGJustSnakes]

Love that logox but almost seems to time consuming for myself as far as bucking firewood...Of course with my years of working timber and wood I can move pretty fast...but I still want one for some other uses for wood that I can think of...man oh man I would love to have that log splitter... Mine always complains its to hard of work and he is only 20...lol

[@jamjams690]

doug you might want to see if they have a kinetic log splitter to try they look super on youtube videos

[@robertinebuckley4245]

Ooooooh I love the views! Nice drone action indeed! The Log Ox is a great assistant! What will you do with the pile of 'mulchie wood stuff' that's under the logs? Lol is it good for anything?

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Robertine Buckley not really, just leave it there, to thick for the garden and compost pile. It breaks down pretty good there over time

[@SuperHurdman]

Haha! Here is Lumberjack dOUG

[@GettinJunkDone]

I have to get me one of these
