Hi Cody, I've been a subscriber for a while and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how respectful you always are. I love your manly mannners and think that so many great lessons are embedded in that book. I've also seen a lot of youtubers get super outraged and adversarial with the demonetization policies and I just think it's great that you find a way to respectfully disagree with it all. Too many people today jump to instant outrage, you've seem to have both a disagreement and understanding with the policies, as silly as they may be, and I think that quality is so important to meaningful discourse. Keep up the great work and I hope you and your family continue to thrive.

[@oldguysrock2170]

Great stuff. I also gather the debris under the log splitter. With 10 acres of trees, branches and tree tops are alway falling. Letting nature have a year, and dried and ready to stack in the kindling rack or buckets. Bark, especially birch bark, burns hot and last long enough to ignite the kindling with ease. I have a long table, and I put an old chop saw on it. I lay a long branch on the table and feed it to the chop saw cutting it in 1foot lengths. Thicker pieces of two inches or more I split after it is cut. Cedar is the best, splits easy, burns hot, and starts the other pieces of wood. The importance of kindling is a huge necessity for those who heat with wood.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Thank you for the opportunity to support the channel, I really do enjoy your content. Cheers from Tokyo!

[@philkrueger5961]

Thanks again Wranglestar for displaying ideas for improving kindling splitting. I went out to my garage and welded up a good splitter out of 1 inch square tubing that I had a lot of with 9" square bases and top square ring. Uprights were made out of two pieces of tubing for additional strength in the middle of the two pieces for welding the cross knife to. Used middle of a quarter inch thick lawn mower blade with a solid steel round bar about 5/8 dia at the bottom edge of the knife blade to increase splitting.

[@TomWylie]

Thanks Cody! We are relatively new to heating with wood, and most of what we have on our new property is Douglas & Grand Fir. We have a LOT of standing dead & cleaning up to do, so we will be burning a lot of fir. Good to know that's primarily what you use and that it works fine for you, regardless of what some people say! :)

I'll answer that for them. Trump hasnt devided anything that is a person's heart as well as killing people with guns. It's the person's evil heart and mind that causes them to do these things. Just live the best life you can and try not to get caught up in all that mess

[@donedeploying4now]

Back in the day.... Growing up in a wood-fired farmhouse in the snowbelt, we went through about a dozen cords per winter... between the open fireplace, the cookstove in the kitchen, the wood-fired boiler in the basement and a couple stoves located in various workshops & out-buildings.... anyhow, we recycled all brown paper grocery bags by stashing them in the wood bin off the kitchen. It was the children's chore to fill at least one bag every day with finger-sized twigs and snapped limb sections. Kept the yard clean and the kids busy outside. It was a big deal (rite-of-passage, of-sorts) to "graduate" from the kindling corps. I thank the good Lord daily for being raised like this.

Cherry wood has the best smell when burning in my opinion. When you split it, it has a great smell. It splits and makes kindling like a dream. And it burns for a while too by far my favorite firewood.

I call my Mother in Law Nana as well, my French uncle Charles who I was named after had a good system for starting fires which I have adopted. While cleaning up around his property he would take a paper grocery bag and end up filling it with twigs. He would keep one or two indoors and a bunch in the woodshed, I heat with wood as well and live on an island on the Atlantic coast where the temperature fluctuates a lot in the shoulder seasons and also in Winter. It's very handy when I get up in the early morning or need a quick fire to put in a bag with a few small logs on top and touch it with the torch and away it goes, thanks, Chas.

[@AjayKumar-fd9mv]

Hi, I am from India and I do not know much about life over there, so few questions out of curiosity. 1. Do you stack all that firewood piles by yourself alone? 2.How much do you have to spend on firewood for a single year ?

[@daleval2182]

I can prob help , I see he didn't reply to you , many cut and stack our own wood, and he and his son stack his poles yes, like me he owns a farm so cuts his own firewood , as do I in Canada, I'm 60 and we still do most our own wood for winter, to buy Harwood in Canada is $ 180 to 200 per cord, like Maple , Oak , Ash , we also have pine, lodgepole , ponderosa, apple , birch , lots of variety , most people here use a mix of woods , depending the cold, and what's available locally, do you cut and use woodstoves in the winter in India, what type of woods do you use ?

[@AjayKumar-fd9mv]

@@daleval2182 Thanks for the the detailed reply and your time ☺️. In our state the ,except from some hilly regions , temperature varies between 32 and 22, so almost all of us does not use firewood. At a few regions temperature drops to 5 degree celciois for few hours during the winter season but fire place is not part of house design there. Other states in India have freezing temperatures during winter. I am not sure what kind of fire logs they use. Since forest rules are not very strict in India when comes to the case of harvestation by local people, I believe people at those places collect all kind of logs from the forest.

[@bencowles2105]

I apologize for the spelling in advance. 1 rick of wood measures 2 feet x 4 feet x 8 feet. 1 cord of wood = 4 Rick of wood. This measure ment comes from a book of standard measuments printed in the 1940's. Just a little fyi from the past. Love the videos. Keep them coming.

I am always in need of kindling. Been using wood since the mid 70s. I live in the NE so have hardwood aplenty. I also claim the litter made by splitting. but once that is used up I have to split my own too just like you. No matter what method we all use be sure to keep all your fingers as they are needed for many other tasks. As for needing to go private just to shoot and or express our faith is just so unamerican.

Thanks for this video. You said to "remind me sometime on how to put out a chimney fire really quick" (6:44), were you able make that video yet?

But I don't use hatchet, use full size axe (leading hand by axe head, an trailing handle balanced at hip. (Handle length used for balance an power strokes). (I don't cut wood on "House Deck" an very rarely seen) LAY TARP DOWN an place cutting block on TARP edge so kindle cut into TARP! Split from sitting position with axe power coming from long handle swing from hip to kindling face. (then just gather days kindling by picking up TARP Corners an no need to handle kindling), pour kindling into storage box (my Grandfathers) from TARP, No mess Not Fuss! (You need a kindling shed where you can separate branches, an have seat an everything all set up!) Under cover!

I enjoy your videos & view them when I need educated on some issues , one small constructive thought, be careful holding kindling w/ left hand while swinging hatchet w/ the other hand , I was in Boy Scouts & safety is stressed continually, but anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge w/ us , it is greatly appreciated & used , May God Bless

Lots of great stuff to comment on in this video, but the "cameo" appearance of the apple press is what got me. My whole family loved the whole series of the restoration (well, that was mostly me) and the first use of that grinder/press. Looking foward to seeing that cider drip and flow.
