  1. Great work my man! Crazy inspirational! Only thing I didn’t hear was how they’re dried ?

  2. I was lucky enough to start getting into firewood hobby about 2 weeks ago having 12 acres and a 65 hp tractor figured I could start the side hustle. By complete luck which started this whole idea was my neighbor was having trees cut down so I went over and asked if I could have some wood, The tree company told me they would pay me $50 a load to take wood so I partnered up with them I burn what I dont need and split good woods (avg 2-3 loads a day). My job give awards ($500 gift cards) so I was able to get a log splitter with those gift cards. I haven’t started selling yet however I have roughly 20,000 lbs of wood split or ready to be split hoping to get this rolling.

    1. @@camlynn5314 so far so good with minimal time invested due to my job I have made roughly 2600 since post. Definitely a lot of work but being on my own property I enjoy it! Now this is mostly wood loads and roughly 400 in wood sales

  3. What is the measurement for a cord of wood ?? I once knew 60 + years ago but can’t find ?
    Happy seeing you making a honest living and enjoying your life and family ❤

  4. Great video. Ive started on this road myself. I get paid to cut the trees down and clear the land though which pays alot more than the firewood. Im still planning to keep and sell the wood bevause i can do it in my down time.

  5. Ever think of making a log splitter with a double ended cylinder? Same HP and pump requirements but split wood on the extension and retract

  6. Great job. But man…at 3:50….bucking up a log with no ear or ear pro? Would hate to see you lose an eye when something catastrophic goes wrong.

  7. Love your video. I have always loved the idea of selling firewood too. Recently bought a 40 ton splitter for my home and it gets me thinking

  8. Respect to you sir. Hard work. Hope you all the success in the world in building up your side business.

  9. Sore elbows is from cutting, not splitting. I split using a maul and for the big trunks I use spikes. I need to get a trailer and splitter. I’ve made a extra 3k since summer, just doing it in my spare time bc I enjoy it

  10. So much of what you say I just love! I started a firewood business two years ago because my normal job (teacher) had me inside all the time and I love working outdoors. Like you, my elbows hurt, my back hurts and I lose a fingernail every now and again, but something about it is just reviving for me. I’ve been considering putting out a firewood stand – biggest problem, I can’t use my own property – too far out and I’m on the end of a long gravel road. Do you have any suggestions on how to get a firewood stand where it is more visible and what kind of deal would be appropriate with that land owner?
