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.

Great dad thinking about his daughters

Out of all the interviews I see it drives me nuts when they start answering the question before it’s finished being asked. Don’t interrupt! This was such a breath of fresh air. I can see why people want to buy from him. He just gives an aura of respect and I’m sure he delivers exactly what he promises. Wish him all the success! You’re awesome man!

Don't wait until you're 70y.o. and in poor health.
After a severe work related injury at 58, I found out full recovery wasn't in my future. It took almost a decade to regain enough mobility just to get outside and enjoy a little light work. I took that to heart and kept pushing toward improvement.
Long story short, We supplement heat with firewood and I enjoy doing for myself. in a matter of months I moved from an axe(I had trouble even swinging) to a Huskee Splitter. Picked up a few different chainsaws on the cheap(no income/savings) budgeting my Social Security funds. Repurposed an old 4x8 trailer and I was off to the races.
I only sell if someone ask for some wood and I've donated a bit to neighbors in need. My goal is healthy exercise and preparation for that time when I can no longer handle the hard work.
Currently We have about 7 cords split and another 8 cut into rounds waiting to be split and staked.
it has been Rain, rain, rain so far this spring.

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

[outdoorsnevada]

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

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

[duuuude]

It's cool that you also use the smaller branches too, minimal waste. Good on you man 👍

[ohiowoodburner]

[jennyjenkins]

[FoothillsFirewood]

Grind on brother. You got what it takes 🤙

[Kitiwake]

The hardest work most people will ever do.

[canuck]

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.

[boostedbadboyzxr]

Oh shit, you're local to me, had no idea, thats awesome.

[garywinebrenner]

I would love to see something about balloon twisting business. I own Balloons by Gary

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.

[jeff]

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

[HBLDN]

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

[mattv]

Based on the time, energy, work, fuel, delivery, etc...cords of wood should cost $750 each. Your average person has no idea what it takes.
