Splitting Oak and Catching Up!

Splitting Oak and Cherry with a trip to the new woodyard.

[@nebraskawoodstr]

As always. Great looking yard. And little everyday adds up. Keep it up. Take care.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

A little everyday definitely adds up! Thanks for stopping by Mike👊🏻🍻

[@TonysCoolTools]

Todd seems we’re all chasing our tails to get enough wood to start the seasoning process I agree with you that this year with as warm as it’s been the drying process should be faster. Nice job with your expansion. You guys stay safe👍TCT

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah we sure have been busy with other things but still cracking away at firewood here and there! It’s eventually going to add up to something 😂 I really believe with the short mild winter, the firewood seasoning process is already well on its way. Thanks for stopping by Tony. 👊🏻

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Looking great, Todd. Same here, kids' activities in school, the wife's grandparents just moved closer, so they are 10 minutes away. In there mid 80s and need help from time to time I am still pecking away at Firewood two times a week, rain or shine..😉👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I guess next year when my kids go off to college I will probably be bored😂 Thanks for watching Daniel👊🏻

[@davidedwards3734]

Woodyard looks Great!! Getting lots of oak split now, it should be ready for next season!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. Yeah I’m betting with this unseasonably warm weather and the fact that it is split smaller we will be ok to sell this fall! Appreciate ya watching David👊🏻

[@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood]

Well Todd you got some nice splits in the trailer. Your neighbors got to appreciate you cutting the grass and keeping the area cleaned up. Your stacks always look neat clean and organized. Great job my friend.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I appreciate his generosity of letting me store wood on his land! It’s the least I can do. Keep it clean and organized!! Thanks for watching Allen👊🏻

[@FirewoodMidwest]

Was waiting for you to mention that the Honeysuckle was greening up too!😬My yearly battle is about to begin! 🤬New woodyard looking good. That Oak is plenty dry for sure. All standing dead can go straight into my boiler! Take care Todd!👍🏻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah believe it or not two years ago I cleared and sprayed all that crap behind the house!! It’s so frustrating🤬It’s a full time job for sure. Yeah I believe the boiler will eat about anything😂Thanks for watching Rod👊🏻

[@BobbySixguns]

The new woodyard looks great. I'd say y'all been getting after it. Take care my friend.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. We have tried to do a little everyday with doing most of the gathering on the weekends! Leaves us rounds to split after work when time allows. Thanks for stopping by Bobby👊🏻🥃

[@fatefarmspa]

That’s a great idea using the dump trailer as a workstation I’ve done that before very helpful minimizing the bending over 👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I used to bring rounds home and dump them on the ground. I now only dump the rounds if I need the trailer. Double it as a work station and sometimes tilt it so the rounds slide to the splitter. I have even thrown the splits in front of the rounds on the trailer as they slide back.🤷‍♂️Gotta save what’s left of my back😂 Thanks for watching Tom👊🏻

[@toddellisor5465]

Great video Todd. Wood yard is looking great.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. I appreciate ya watching Todd👊🏻

[@johnsonr9]

Good video and woodyard. Glad you have had plenty of trees to work with. Totally agree with the splitting smaller tactic.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. We are fortunate to have a wide species of good hardwoods and places to cut. Thanks for watching Johnson👊🏻

[@jimbo5056]

Great forward progress on the new woodyard! 👍 Hope ya have a good soccer season. Beware of those soccer MOMS though.🤣

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks! Soccer Moms😂 I hear ya. Especially if you play on a select club team! Wow😂 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@toddschumacker-ex1wd]

Good looking oak, it’s crazy how dry the standing dead oak is! Nice work!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I was shocked when I moisture checked it! I’m betting its diameter had a little something to do with it. We cut a few standing dead back when I started and I was like a lot of people thinking it would be dry. Still about 28-30% It does dry fast after split. This was the one exception that I have found. Appreciate ya watching Todd👊🏻

[@ChrisLascari]

I'm late but I'm here. I am looking forward to this video.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Hope you enjoyed it! I appreciate ya always being here Chris👊🏻

[@ChrisLascari]

@@toddsoutsideagain I absolutely did

[@user-qr4xg3dy3i]

Great to see the nice stacks of firewood buddy. Keep up the great work. See you on your next video.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks we appreciate ya being here👊🏻

[@McKameyFarms]

Woodyard expansion is looking really nice Todd! Lots of sun and good level ground. Another Benjamin 💰 stacked! I’m in the same situation, softball just started up and it’s 3-4 nights a week. But wouldn’t trade it for anything. Have a great week Todd

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes sir the busy season has started! It will be my last year of chasing kids at high school sports so I’m not gonna miss anything. Thanks for watching and commenting Brandon!👊🏻 Good luck with the softball season!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We’ll be dealing with some oak soon. We don’t have much of it on our property but just gained some access to some. Nice new yard.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Awesome! Never enough! We take all we can get. Thanks for watching Heath👊🏻🇺🇸

[@billobermeyer660]

Going to mow for the first time tomorrow. Your new woodyard is really going to help you and Evan out tremendously!! I agree, split small and get it seasoned. Btw, I ordered a Super Split the other day to go with my pro 28c. As much as I wanted the 17VS, just too much investment and I know I'll be happy with the J model SS. Nice video Todd!!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Mowing came too early. It will get old fast😂 Congrats on the Super Split. I’m still intrigued by those machines! Thanks for watching Obie👊🏻

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Nice looking firewood collection. I like the look of those rounds! Keep splitting

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I’m glad the you like the rounds. It’s a good ratio of red and white Oak! Plus a few Hackberry, Mulberry and Walnut! Thanks for stopping by Robert👊🏻

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Looken good Todd . That’s one of the biggest reasons for splitting small even oak will dry over the summer . Mowing grass already ? Everything here just got covered in 10 in of snow a sleet yesterday but it’s supposed to rain an be 50 by Wednesday so back to the mud again .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah small splits is all we really do. I’ve only had a couple people say they wish it was a little larger splits but they still buy it. I just tell them to stack it tight in the woodstove 😂 If I ever get far enough ahead I will start making some bigger splits for the couple people we have that are buying for heat. I seen your snow has returned😳 Stay warm! Ya can keep all that stuff! Thanks for watching Phil👊🏻

[@buildlife]

Looking good Todd!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Steve👊🏻

[@MillersStumpsandFirewood712]

Nice looking woodyard

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. I appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Todd , the new woodyard is really nice . Like how you are going to start another row there . Good splitting also . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵🔥

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. I really enjoy working in the new woodyard. Change of scenery alone makes it nice. It is a very nice place to season firewood! Thanks Del👊🏻🇺🇸

[@TCsOutdoors1]

Inventory is looking good brother!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Tony. Appreciate ya!👊🏻🍻

[@765Guys]

Yard is Lookin good Todd!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Genin!👊🏻

[@stannelson2582]

Have patience Todd. Get way ahead so you never have to think about moisture content. At some point counting your chickens before they’re hatched will cause stress lol. Keep up the good work. Looks like a great situation for the two of you.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I hear ya Stan. The last couple seasons we were well ahead of the game. Starting to sell in bulk this past fall really changed things. I’m gonna throttle back on that a bit this year. The wood really went fast!! Take care and thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I won't be mowing the lawn until May if I'm lucky 😅. There's still a small snowbank that hasn't melted .That drying spot looks like a great location, lots of sun.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well mowing the lawn gets old fast😂 Short mild winter bad for mowing grass but great for seasoning firewood 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching Kenny👊🏻

[@TwinCityFirewood]

I’m with ya on splitting smaller and drying faster. The new woodyard is looking pretty,, gonna be real handy for y’all!! See ya on the next one Todd!!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes sir! Smaller splits is the way to go for our operation. If I ever get a couple years ahead we will probably split some a little larger for the heating customers. Appreciate ya watching Jacob👊🏻

[@KNLFirewood]

Out of IBCs? I might know a guy. Can’t believe you have mowed 3 times already?! New woodyard is massive!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I can’t believe we have mowed three times either. That’s the very reason I believe the firewood is already ahead in the seasoning process. The new woodyard is an excellent space! I might know a guy too😂 Thanks for stopping by Mike👊🏻

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

Looks great Todd! - Tim

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Tim👊🏻

[@brandonhoad9033]

Hey Todd, ya could leave the posts a little higher and run some wire between them to keep them from spreading out.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Those t-post were kinda short. I just barely had the wings on the bottom into the ground. I gotta lead on som IBC totes so it will work for now! Thanks for the idea though. That would definitely work! Appreciate ya watching Brandon👊🏻

[@brandonhoad9033]

@@toddsoutsideagain w spring coming the local ag service place will have a lot of them soon

[@toddpacheco4748]

Another excellent piece of work and video Todd 👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks for the kind words! We do try to make it interesting! Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Sure is a nice looking row in the new woodyard! Can’t believe how dry some of that oak is. That’s awesome!! See ya on the next one👍👊🍻🍌🥋

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah this new woodyard has been great. The extra room has allowed a bit more of a strategic setup. Going to be real nice when it comes to loading to sell and restocking. Yeah that standing dead oak shocked me with how dry it was. The diameter of the tree made it possible. Thanks for watching J👊🏻🍻

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

definitely gonna be a good drying season! However we did lose some with the mild winter, too damp

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I hear ya but we had little to no precipitation here! 🤷‍♂️Weird winter for sure. Thanks for stopping by Anthony👊🏻

[@richysoutdoors2591]

How go Bro ., nice inventory. Lotsa splittin’ to go in that woodyard. Have fun . Over and out 🍺☑️

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Lotsa splittin has been happening and lotsa more has to happen😂 As always I appreciate ya taking the time to watch and comment Richy👊🏻🍻

[@brackenprofaizer2601]

Just sitting here waiting for a sponsored eastonmade or wolf ride to show up in the wood yard, I have never seen a log splitter cycle time slower on the back stroke.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

That would be awesome but not necessary. Yeah I get told that about my splitter often. It still has about a 9-1/2 second cycle time so not too bad for a box store splitter. It has been a good one. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@joeyrector1015]

I know what you mean about the wind. Now I can get back started on getting my wood up. I've got a big oak in the back yard I've got to cut. And I've got to do something about my wood yard. My wife is ill about where I got it lol.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

This wind has been at it for a week! Hard to get much footage to share but the work gets done faster! 😂 Yeah my wife wasn’t crazy about my woodyard at first but it has grown on her a bit😂 Thanks for watching Joey👊🏻

[@joeyrector1015]

You're welcome

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

I call that dead barkless wood bone wood. I keep it up until I need it...money in the bank. You're wood yard looks great and that one across the field is filling up fast. Another great video. Have a great week

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Wood bone😂 That’s a different one! Yeah the new woodyard is filling up a little bit at a time! I really like having the extra space to be a little more strategic with the space. Thanks for watching Jerry👊🏻

[@healyfamily4]

Love the new woodyard. You always do a great job of keeping your woodyard very organized. Keep up the good work!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I’m very grateful for the new space! I’m able to be a little more strategic with the setup. I appreciate ya watching Richard👊🏻

[@bfoutdooradventures]

The new woodyard looks very well strategically planned out. The weather north of you hasn't been so good, and mowing season hasn't started yet. Shoveling season is still going on with 4" of fresh stuff the other day. Stay safe and enjoy the weather. 🕺💃🍻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah the new woodyard is going to be great. I’m trying to keep accessibility loading and unloading in mind since I have the space. Lawn rake in my hand snow shovel in yours😳 Crazy weather this year. Take care💃🕺

[@kenthorsen4558]

Looking good Todd, I'm no where near to cutting the grass at the top of the state. We did get four inches of snow on Friday which gave me a chance to burn a couple more brush piles.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I heard y’all got more of the white stuff! Funny how just a couple hours geographically can make that much of a difference. Appreciate ya Ken👊🏻

[@kennyp507]

Outstanding!!! The Mull and Hackberry, is it as good as the infamous Osage orange?

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Both very good in my opinion! Appreciate the support. Thanks for watching Kenny👊🏻

Any word from the knotty firewood channel ?? Can’t find him anymore ?? I knew he was fond of your channel .
