*This channel is not to be confused with "my self"...* *"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.*

We all go out and cut it up for her stove to heat her house in the winter. :) We make a day of it with the kids and grandkids and with about 12 of us it takes no time at all.

Take the stuff they chip up and pile it up and let it rot. The result is amazing compost for your garden. Pile it in the woods and it will pick up additional leaf liter and draw insects to break it all down. Once it breaks down sift it and put it in your garden. You can also mulch you garden with it. You can rebuild soil with it. Just spread it across the future garden area about 2 ft thick and let it break down for a couple years. After about 5 years you have perfect growing soil.

I recommend burning wood for everyone. I have burning firewood since my dad decided to convert from oil to wood when I was 14 years old, 1978-ish. He got me to saw it, split it, stack it, 8 cords a year, and you never get that out of your system. Now I manage to heat our home for free using wood I cut on our land. I built a logging winch to get the trees "too far to carry" and I bought a pto-powered hydraulic-feed woodchipper to process the branches and tops of the trees into chips, which we bag into cut-down-sewn-back-up feed bags for later. Chips and twigs and dried leaves are excellent on those days where you need a fire, but not a big fire. We have two wood stoves inside and a massive 1/4 million btu biomass converter (some folks call it a wood boiler) outside that drives our radiant floors and domestic water. Great exercise all summer long, and something to do when it is cold out -- go see what the fire is up to. We put up 10 cords for this winter, my Mrs. stacked it all, and we burn 1 cord (4'x4'x8') every 14 days. Plus a cord of cedar to kindle the fire. My rule for cutting a tree is simple -- Did I plant it? No? Cut it down.
