Hello to the KING of free firewood!!! Another awesome vid Chris! The last wood you scored looked like a small walnut tree to me! Thanks for sharing. GNI
Hello Chris. New sub here. Your cheesehead personality is really easy on the ears. 😂 Unsolicited advice from a 60 year old. Get yourself one or two of those picaroons. Too much bending at the waist for a 57 year old. Your 58 year old self( not even 60 year old self)will thank you. Love your channel. From Cleveland, TN.
I've never seen a farm chemical kill a tree unless it was on purpose. I've seen where the leaves got dinged. It is weird that it was only the outside trees though. Good show.
Good morning Chris!! Another good little take of wood. Free wood is great wood!!😀😀 From years of doing logging I seem to get several calls per year from people who have just a few trees they want to get rid of. But by being a logger people are told that we pay for wood. But what they don't understand is a couple logs or a couple trees aren't worth anything to a logger. They definitely need to find someone like you who can cut it up for firewood and get something for it. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
@@InTheWoodyard I hope I get the thirty pointer. Just depends on if he decides to show himself. We do have a couple 160 to 200 class bucks running around the neighborhood. I think rut is still going on around here. I saw a really nice buck chasing does the night before last.
@@aldredske6197 160-200" !!!!!!!! Now your talking my language! When you crawl in your stand in the morning, I might be there in your chair already! HA!!!! Good luck!
@@InTheWoodyard LOL!! Come on over!! I'll let you have the first shot at one. 😀😀👍👍 I've been working for over 20 years to make it a hunters paradise. I got sick of leasing land and hunting on the public. Never had much luck on lease land and no luck on the public land. All I ever got on the public was scared. LOL!!
@@InTheWoodyard I scored a huge bunch of wood from a guy that just had about 10 trees taken down all good hard wood plus his neighbor guy wants me to take down 3 trees for him..Bonus!!
Most wood I get is free I cut about 30percent of my wood along side of the road. I get wood from a logging yard which ships logs out in containers I get a load for $10 they mainly cut the ends off or have trees are bad in the middle 15 percent comes from there. And the rest I get from the woods.
Nice clean cut felling that pine. Great video, makes me need to ask... why the long drought from cutting/hauling from the farm with all the piles and tree line? You scored a ton of free wood from there and the neighbor wanted you to cut his tree line too.
At the end of the video that bark really reminds me of Ash. What would have really helped is if you knew whether or not it had alternate or opposite branching. If it's not Ash, my guess is a Walnut.
@@InTheWoodyard our local arborist have been taking down a bunch of walnut, I'm guessing the thought it was that ash, but walnut is a deep chocolate color.
Blue stain,a symbiotic fungus infecting the tree through pine beetles indicated on cross section...also "pitch outs"evident on bark...tree is weakend,and suseptable to other negative influence...I agree with earlier comments...
What size bar is on your 572xp .thinking of the 460 rancher with a 24 in bar. Normally I would have wood delivered. I'm increasing my wood consumption and going to have logs delivered. Interested in saving back and reach
Because he told me he only had a few sticks and I assumed that they and the others would fit. Yes, I admit it was my fault for not asking more questions!
Black roofing rubber.. Yes it dries faster not getting rained on, stack on pallets, cover with roofing rubber and between spring and fall its ready to go.. Keep it off ground or it will rot and absorb water from dirt
I dunno, looks like ash to me, I have one green ash (not green white ash but green green ash) out on a hill that looks like that bark, which looks like a combination of white ash and elm and it's darker like that, or that might just be darker from being wet?
All my wood is free from my parents and their neighbor. Bunch of dead or dying ash that I’m felling, blocking and splitting. I did two today and one and half blocked and split.
Watching your video from 11/20/20 on free wood from Craig's List. I'm wondering if you factor in the opportunity cost. You drive to, cut, load, drive back, and unload. If instead you spend $75 per cord delivered, and each hour you can produce $300 of profit when it's dropped on location (you need to figure out your profit/hour), then this "free" wood costs you whatever money you could have made with that time. This becomes infinitely more true if you also piss off customers by not having enough one year. Just wondering if you review your opportunity cost versus your perceived free cost. Regardless, I really, really appreciate your videos!
Yes, good question! I actually pay $105 - $110 a full cord in log form and get 2.5 face cords from it. So I pay $110 and end up with $275 worth of wood and net $165 minus expenses. But if I factor in the time on the free wood it ends up that I make per hour a little less than if I buy it. But, I like to go cut trees down too! Basically, I want all of the wood I can get!
After I split it, smelt it, compared it, I figured out that it was - - - ash, but a different kind, maybe a hybrid or a non native of some sort, it was from a yard so it may have come from a nursery years ago!?!?
