How to cut MORE Firewood! -

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good morning everyone, I am glad you all are here every day, it means a lot to me! Sorry, I kinda blended a few of the tips together there but they are still good ones. I'll see you all again tomorrow. I will continue daily videos a s long as I can but there will come a time when I am going to go to a video every other day or so, I will let you know. Also, answering comments is getting harder to do to as the volume grows so I won't be able to answer every comment for much longer either, but I will try my best! Thanks CHRIS

[@johnforman4308]

Time is limited don't worry about answering comments ( time is money)

[@jackpinesavageadventures3142]

If we have been paying attention none of us will have time to watch your videos.

[@maddymaefarm5502]

Great tips Chris thanks. Always learning from you and others in the community.

[@dethmaul]

Knowledge is valuable, thank you for giving!

[@optimoprimo132]

Don't worry about answering. It is the natural process of a channel growing. Oh and besides... I mostly comment to hear myself speak anyway.. lol.

[@jburch1544]

This video is way better than any college "business" course. Best firewood channel on Utube in my opinion. The Dave Ramsey of firewood business, much good advice here. Excellent!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Appreciate that..... Dave Ramsey of the firewood business! I like that, and I am doing better than I deserve!

[@PawlH]

I teach college business courses and I agree (except for mine of course😁)

Well said. Firm believer in Good Quality Shoes, Gloves and Bed. You have to protect your greatest asset... YOU.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, you are exactly correct!

[@SIUDR7202]

Great deal!! Everything I own has been paid with cash. At the age of 66 I have slowed up a lot. But, I still go as far and long as my body and mind allows.

Chris, Hands down one of the VERY BEST videos you have posted ! Its like a firewood , finance, and motivational seminar all rolled into one. Well Done my friend !

Thanks Anthony!

I’m lucky to have two bro-n-laws that own tree services. No shortage of logs.

Nice, you are lucky she said yes!!! Ha!

[@BadHorsie1]

I like this channel. Having collected large pieces of wood, cut them into rounds and split, all by hand, i can attest that it is incredibly hard work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Right on, I agree!

[@jackpinesavageadventures3142]

Good morning, Chris. Great recommendations. Working smarter not harder. Have a grand day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Brian, working smarter is good but working smarter AND harder is great!

[@bwillan]

@@InTheWoodyard Mike Rowe would be proud of that sentiment.

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 That was great advice for anyone who is going to start their own business. Doing firewood is great exercise. But doing firewood for a living is darn hard work. Having all the toys to make it easier helps. But it definitely takes a long time to get them if you don't go into debt for them. Age and injury have made doing firewood harder on me than it used to be. But it's my favorite hobby to do when I'm not running my tree harvester. AKA my real job that will take as many hours as I want to give it. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

Im just getting started so I'm working a full week as a handyman and trying to split wood in my "free" time. It's nice to see that this can lead somewhere!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, keep going, you can do way more than you think!

[@botabob]

It’s hard to argue your logic. Your help must like the fact that you are sweating right beside them. And I saw you left the machine take a break and run the mower while you continued to sweat in the wood yard. Good advice all around.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Bob, I have found that if I work with someone I can "motivate" them with challenges as we go.

[@WSTMike]

Chris, this was one of the best videos you have ever made. It was real and I could feel your conviction. You gave 12 tipperoni's on what made you successful and you sacked the armchair quarterbacks. Perfect. Take care my friend. WST

[@TheDriftlessHomestead]

Chris, those were such great points!!! I would say some were great life points not just applicable to firewood but to work life. The people that work hard are those that get promoted and don't get laid off in slow times.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, there is always a job for a person who gets stuff done!

[@dethmaul]

@@InTheWoodyard I said that same thing in middle school! I was observing all the blue collar guys that people shit on for being 'simple', and watching mike rowe on tv, and seeing how important these guys are, and how office guys are terrified of being fired because it'll be hard to find a job somewhere else, and i came up with a saying. If you can work with your hands, you'll always be able to put food on the table.

[@kennethcarlson8713]

[@GypsyBushcraft1]

Yes drill sergeant love it. No rest for the wicked league score I’m concerned 😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Just keep cuttin'!

[@danradtke1663]

Years of experience does pay off. Smart smart smart. I worked with a guy where we moved just splitting and storing five times before sold not to mention what he paid for the cut wood. The good thing we would get cut wood at 16 inches but he lost the profit in moving it so many times prior to sale. Not efficient at all. You have the smartest system. One job at a time unless of course you have two people cut and stack works well. You are very efficient. Keep up the great work. Time and money saving as for sure. Great job.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Dan, I am working on ways to touch the wood as little as possible!

[@danradtke1663]

That's the goal.

[@KNLFirewood]

Wasn’t sure if this was Chris in The Woodyard or a motivational speech from a TedTalk! Love it. Good advice.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, that is it! A TED, In the Woodyard talk!

[@sameaston1301]

"I get a little sloggy" haha! I'm definitely stealing that word! Thanks for all the great advise. Stay healthy and stay safe Chris!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Sam, yes, sloggy is bad!

[@stevezelen4651]

All great advice!! My wife and I just had our 1 year anniversary owning and operating a bar/restaurant. It’s at least 80-100 hours per week. You couldn’t be more right. We have a huge outside patio with a fir pit. I kept getting screwed by firewood people. Full cord= 1 pickup load. Green wood. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who just wouldn’t show up. After watching a few dozen of your videos, I decided to take on the challenge!! I now have a huge pile of logs growing behind our building. The tree companies are happy with bringing logs for free. New Stihl MS 390 and a borrowed log splitter, I guessing I have about 10 cords. Looks like I’m moving up to about 120 hours per week and a new side hustle for next year. Thanks Chris for your inspiration. Keep those videos coming. I usually you at 4am before bed. They keep me going.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Steve, sounds like you are an ambitious guy who has his mind right, it is a long slog, but you can do it!

[@1sweetchickRebekah]

This is the absolute BEST advice for a businesses owner, anyone that has any manual labor involved in their job, and just anyone that wants to succeed. As a trainer in my field, you have taught me more about how to train workers. THANK YOU!!! This advice is worth more than gold coins!!!!

[@compostjohn]

Efficiency tips. Good - but you're lucky to have the space. I deliver the wood I bring back in my big bike trailer into my front garden, cut and split there.... but it's stacked for seasoning in various parts of my property... and I have to carry the split chunks to where they're stacked. However I see this as a good way to keep fit... I walk miles!

I would add one more tip drink lots of water and stay hydrated , dehydration will make your sore back and muscles hurt more and will affect your concentration which is important when running a chainsaw any way I just stopped for a water break and sandwich then I'll be back in my woodyard to do a little more cutting then the rest of the day I'll be splitting thanks Chris for all the great content

Thanks Heath, you are right drink and then drink some more!

Actually I started splitting wood by hand at about 7...that was 55 years ago, never had a hydraulic splitter until I was 50.

[@YusriGaidien]

@@InTheWoodyard Oh yes, you did mention it in a previous video I watched... I have just forgotten completely about! You are such a hard worker! May you be blessed!👋

[@mattmilkie5847]

I 1000% agree work, work , work, any moment you can. Even if it 20-30 minutes, it’s all progress. I don’t sell, so ibc totes work great for our farm. Splitting and stacking is a singular step. * also outreach to a near by lumber yard for delivering logs, they have will have “ fire logs”, or “ pallet logs” to purchase. Time is most definitely, your most precious resource!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Well said!

[@jamessummers3009]

Chris!!! So many useful tips...! Thankyou! Ive been buying logging trailer fulls for 12 years and cutting them into logs just like you do! Its took a while to get to this point with a full time job!

I believe that you are one of the best motivational speakers I've ever heard, and I'm older than dirt! An recovering alcoholic, amputee with one leg and one eye and have COPD bad. I know that starting a fire wood business is not a good idea but would like to split & bundle some wood to sale as a hobby and earn a little side money as I have a good splitter and love doing it. I also have as much locust and cottonwood as I would ever need here on my little acreage. I'm 83 and not used to noting working on something. Is splitting cottonwood as tough as I've been told? I watch you videos back to back, when you take off on a raunt, I hang on evrey word, LOL Keep up the good work You are good MEDS for old farts like me.

[@bb1040]

I just cut for my own use, cut on my nephews land by myself, about 6 cords a summer. I have bought logs but the last triaxle load I bought was $750, now that same load is over $1500 , I just do not have that kind of money. I am 76 years old have plenty of time but not much money, and I enjoy working out in the woods and splitting and stacking my wood, gives me something to do that actually is accomplishing something. Oh an I use a little 6.5 ton electric splitter and 16" Husky chainsaw. although this year I did invest in a bigger saw with a 28" bar, ran into a few big trees that 16" saw really did not like, I have one on the ground now that will be the first cut up this spring 30" the 16" got it down but it was a job. LOL

[@InTheWoodyard]

Just stay at it and you will be fine! Keep cuttin'!

[@philgriswold2133]

All great tips. I read a quote recently that said "You can quit, or you can work harder, they both hurt. Southerner tip. When it gets real hot, don't drink beer. If you do drink, have whiskey straight or with water. You will sweat much less on whiskey than beer. Moderate use, of course.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, drinking water is a must for sure and quitting never finishes the job!

Love the tips. All of my firewood equipment is paid off. I learned the debt lesson in my 20s when I bought and financed everything. I think I am real lucky with my tree service wood. He dumps logs right in my woodyard. Each dump is about a cord of wood and I get 3 to 4 a week. And it's all free for me.

[@jeffy1466]

@@InTheWoodyard Everything. So far this year I've gotten roughly 10 cords of cherry. Lots and lots of oak. Maple, walnut, elm, locust and ash. I take all his campfire wood too.

[@kimjensen8207]

Thank you I'm just your average guy with a little annual firewood project to keep our house warm here in southern Scandinavia, but - man you can learn stuff here! And - one thing that struck me, thinking about it, is the crazy amount of time I invest going to my local forrest each year for a little wood... Now - I enjoy the forrest - just being there and doing some meaningful work - but, man... It tends to consume a fair amount of time: A couple of beeches are felled, takes half an hour, but from then on things develop... A small tractor, little grey Fergie, is taken to the forrest; the logs are dragged to a convenient work space area - preferably by some sort of terrain able to serve an ordinary car and trailer for transportation You then 'build' a tightly stacked heap of logs - to be measured by the owner of the forrest! Then you chop it up, throw it in the trailer and drive it home to your shed, finishing by throwing it inside till the shed's full... I guess I'm considering buying a truckload of logs and just build a bigger shed right where the truck's gonna dump it ... Sell the Fergie to a museum and just go to the forrest for mere recreation... It's all that time you invest... I sure learned that today Kind regards Kim

Hi Chris, I follow your argument about the cost of IBC totes but in terms of efficiency, for a face cord delivery, they would save you a bit of loading time, so I can see why they would work. I think you would agree with Thomas Edison, who said “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, I do see the loading time savings, it is the how to unload and buying 700 of them for $20,000+ that is the hang up.

Love your videos. In Texas we dont have anyone who will sell logs

[@InTheWoodyard]

Might be because you do not have much of a logging industry like we do???, lots of forests and paper mills and lumber mills here.

[@dannydavis5245]
