With a few tools, you can learn to make your wood by hand, provided you have patience until you gain skill.
Admittedly it takes longer and requires more effort than with engines, but in the meantime: scientists and the UN announce a climate emergency, Survivalists buy weapons, collapsologists launch yet another magazine, companies invent green gas, journalists denounce green gas, tractors are ever bigger and humus ever finer, natural resources are scarce and economic growth is on the lips of every politician.
While the world sounds and loudly dispels its share of contradictions, we can slow down, replace the power of a machine with the strength of our bodies, noise by silence, ease by simplicity.
The main difficulty is feeling alone, but that's why I make these videos. That, little by little, more and more people can decide to change their way of doing things. And maybe one day we'll make our wood together and celebrate the end of the haymaking.
This year, I need 4 hours of work to produce 1 square meter of firewood with an axe and a saw. With a chainsaw, I would certainly have done 10 times as much. But I would then depend more on engineers, factories, drilling, chemistry, transportation, far-working or even money in my account to repair, maintain, consume.
The more we depend on ourselves, the more free we feel. The less one depends on a system the more one exists without it.
See you soon and thank you
