Gathering Firewood for the Winter at My Off Grid Cabin

In this video I gather firewood for the winter at my off grid cabin in the woods. I drive my truck down the nearby forest roads to find dead trees that have fallen into the roadside ditches and turnouts. Using my Makita xcu04 electric battery powered chainsaw, I cut the logs into pieces that I later split and stack. I also share a few of my chainsaw and wood splitting techniques.

Thanks for watching!

Please make more firewood gathering videoes, they are the best!

I've been there my friend, 11 years off grid here. In my county you have to get a salvage permit to get dead and down firewood. They just want to make sure you're not selling the wood and they know where you are at in case someone calls it in. Eventually you'll have a log splitter, 1 year wood, and 2 year wood piles.

I love your firewood videos, I could look at them all evening, you put so much in to it, and you never leave the area cluttered. Please keep them up.

I’ve asked dozens of people how they split wood so effortlessly & they always reply with “ I just do it “ . Thank you for that tutorial !

Wood warms you twice, once when you chop it and again when you burn it ❤xx

Awesome love cutting firewood 🔥, love your channel just came across it this morning greetings from ireland 🇮🇪

Wood warms you twice. When chopping it and when burning it. But gathering wood the way you are doing warms you 3 times ! Lucky you. It should be a common practice for people to gather dead fallen wood the way you did but there is always someone (or multiple someones) who have to blow it for the rest of us. Forest fires would be greatly reduced by doing this, too. Oh, when will they put 2 and 2 together?

Nice work. You're going to be blessed by all that wood this winter. Satisfaction guaranteed. (I was worried about bug infestations though, being up against the house. May be something to consider.)

Мне нравится аккумуляторные пыли за их тишину в работе. Пилишь и никому не мешаешь) даже не пугаешь птиц. Единственный их недостаток это малая автономность, все-таки взять с собой пять литров топлива и масло для цепи и можно гудеть целый день. Но для дома лучше конечно именно тихая пила, она быстрее в работе, не нужно заправлять, взял и пользуйся .

I raised up using a wood heater & still do during the winter months

Great tips ! I'm much like you when it comes to getting extra firewood when ever I can, You will love a good woodshed young man, just getting a year supply ahead with the little greener stuff will burn great next year :)

Hey brother…check out some videos on people using a tire and chopping wood into smaller chunks…the tires prevents the wood from falling and having to reach down every time. Bigger the tire, bigger the logs. Some great ideas even mounting the tire on top of a big stump. Saved me much time! Great videos!

[paulfisher]

superb and im like you always looking fro free wood by the roaddside .

[eriknielsen]

You do it good, and you are very likable guy, and you have found different ways to do things and thats amazing. I have been a logger/climber for 16 years, the only thing I hope you will do different is, buy personal protection gear when you using a chainsaw, and an orange or yellow west. Keep doing what you do it’s good.

[adriannamunoz]

Love your videos Diego, im addicted to your channel. Dios te bendiga.

[williamjones]

Love the way you are doing your things "your way". Yes I agree with others in we'd love to see your with some personal protection gear. I have the same electric chainsaw as you as well as a gas version. Use both just depends on the diameter. Not sure how it works, but if contacted a local arborist they might be happy to drop off wood for to your place.
