Finding Out How Much Firewood is in a Tree 

Your videography gets better and better. You are still thinking about it and not stuck in a rut. The smoke is gone today so this video has inspired me to go split. I think I thank you for this inspiration?

Hey thanks for the shout out and all the useless channel points I'll cherish them forever I guess after 30 years of selling firewood I've gotten good at estimating wood piles lol

Fantastic pics of the giant forest kitty and goliath negro chipmunk! lol 👍🏼

Whoa! Mountain Lion! Whoa! Black Bear! How nice to be out in the woods with the Creator's critters.

Those critters looked hungry. If we don't see you again, we'll know why. Nah, you would probably be too tough for them to want to eat. Another good video. Oh yah, that sure was a big dragon fly that flew over. Thanks for taking us all out into the woods with you. Also, I don't blame you for heading over to the coast. This smoke is getting old. Medford.

Them critter out your way are pretty high up on the food chain…. Stay safe!

Nice looking house cat there lol

I wish oak split like that. Great vdo

Opening scene, backs into wood splitter. 😂😂😂 you are hilarious. Awesome channel sir.

Just found your video well done

pretty good amount of wood. Lil more than i thought at 1.5 cord. we been getting cougar sightings here this past summer... very rare. I found some scat early this summer... we got so much small game I am not to worried about them.

That was is a good video. Cheers

I cannot believe I hadn't thought of a ramp up for the big rounds. Stroke of genius. And nice animals 👍🏼

Thanks for the end clips.

Fun video, thanks. That tree looks like a dream to cut, split and stack. Try that with red oak.

Great entertainment! Informative of course but you’ve got superb timing and delivery in front of the camera. Tough work that too.

Thanks! Been wondering about chucked vs. stacked. Read 1.5 to 1.67 times…what do you get based on the size of your trailer? Thanks again

The fold out aluminum ramps work great and drill one hole and drop a long bolt in it Fast and easy 😊😊😊

nice log splitter

With 24 hurricanes predicted, keep your logs ready, the price will rise.

Thanks for the video & hands on examples & measurements. How big was the tree you were estimating firewood cords for?? I'd be curious to know what the diameter & height of tree was to get an idea of what you got from it??

WHAT, NO BIGFOOT? 👀 👍🍻

Did you say $830? If yes then wow it's expensive out there. Around here two full cords would be about 510 and that would be hardwoods like black cherry and hard maple.

New viewer. What is the boat winch on splitter for.

A frogs hair over 2 cords. Now a bad guess from just looking at a pile..

I would prefer to stay with our gators than mess with a mtn lion or a bear. Nice video using the splitter.

how long is your chainswa guide ? whats the model ?

You still got alot of firewood out of all that

Good video. I still HATE to do firewood. Unfortunately you said to hold up too late and I didn't get to see the bear and cougar photos. Maybe next time.

I’d sure like to have a coastal place to compliment my mountain place.

That seems like such a shame to have that big tree cut into firewood. But I understand the markets and logistics of the operation. Good job.

Did you recover your work-shirt trapped in the face of the trailer? (4:35 mark) So, how much wood would Wilson split, when a Wilson would split wood...? Love the Trail cam pics -- that little Cinnamon bear, (Ursus Americanus Cinnamomum) was a great catch. Hurrah for wildlife! Cheers from a (drizzly/damp) Linn County

Nice jag of wood there! Unrelated matter, don’t know your name, catching up on older videos, maybe you mentioned it, or if your in some Super-secret witness protection program I understand. Thanks for the show,”we’ll keep the light on for you”🇺🇸

Now if you actually don't want to struggle with heavy rounds, you might consider another updated splitter.

Nice wood trimming.What tree is that? Watching from Clark Pampanga Philippines.

how many trees have you replanted..?

What kind of tree is that?

are these cords full or face, thanks

I was wondering why you didn't use a 4 or 6 way splitter...now I have my answer. You, sir, are quite efficient at doing it yourself. I don't think this is your first rodeo.

My OCD zeroes in on that leaner every time, lol

makes my pictures from my trail cam of fox, deer, opossum and grey squirrels seem not so scary :)

I can never remember if ive commented this on one of your videos before, so excuse me if this is a repeat comment. But a safe bet on loose wood equaling a cord is 180 cu/ft 10'x4.5'x4'. Its defined as split wood bucked at 12-16" thrown loosely together.

your time is worth something. if you figured your time at $16/hour, which is an example of what you might pay someone else to do the work, you could come up with a better breakdown of what your net profit is for marketed logs, your own sawmill logs and firewood. i've been wresting with this for 100 acres of alder ive got, that would market at $450/m but to get that $450 I'd have to give 40% to 60% of that to the logging company and the trucking company, so my net would be somewhere around $200/m Green alder firewood is $250 a cord or more, but I think that I'd net more that way even hiring out the labor to run it through a firewood processor and deliver it. I guess I should cut down a few and calculate the amount of wood and run the numbers again as you do here. Thanks for the food for thought.

You and your animals lol

Do you think that cougar has been watching you?

That was alot of work to do.that much with 1 person you should timelaspe it next time

when it comes to big cats... it aint the one you see that you need to be worried about... yikes.

You could just say "cubic meters" (m³) instead of "cubic feet in the fourth face of a full cord loosely stacked backwards four inches" 🤭🤣
