Looks like most of the YTers that I watch for firewood processing are moving to bins - must be the right thing to do. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
I agree that greenwood selling will depend on many factors. I don’t really sell wood. Yet, I have sold some green on the condition that they do all of the handling after split. It really depends on the situation
The weatherman is my best salesman, if he uses a four letter word on the news (snow or cold) my phone start ringing , trust me those people are not looking for green wood!
Hey Heath, good video. Rachel is not going to like all that mud. You may want to pray for snow so it covers the ruts. It will clean up. I don’t think green wood ,would work up here in Minnesota either. I definitely agree with you on covers keeping leaves and branches from getting in the wood. What are you going to use for you gas container. I went out and bought the vevor model for diesel fuel. I thought about getting one for gas but they aren’t grounded. Great idea using the bladder for a shelter for your fuel tank. You guys have a Merry Christmas. Later
Good video Heath you know I just love that you’re always thinking about improvements. If we didn’t have that we would drive our wives crazy Anyway, keep up the good work. I know she’ll forgive you. She’s that type of soul. Can hardly wait to see the progress.
Great video Heath. Reorganizing is good but it can be a real pain when the ground is muddy. I am dealing with that right now in my processing area right now. Rachel will probably not have a sense of humor about the mess.
Great work Keith. Keep up the good work. I know she’ll forgive you. She’s got that great soul lol. It’s always nice to be thinking about improvements. I’m doing the same thing myself here I wanna keep my wood under wraps. It is always always a working progress and so are we that’s what I keep telling my wife lol
Tie wire rolls can be found at any box store that sells construction supplies in particular for concrete uses because rebar mats are typically tied together then placed into position in a foundation. Or there are also supply stores for concrete or masonry. Not sure who are in your area but I'm sure they aren't far away.
Reason I didn't sell fully seasoned wood was I didn't have the space to store it while it dried. Your yard will be ok once it's had a chance to dry out. Green wood here sells for 30-40% less than certified dry wood of the same species. So,got the room take the time todry it,sell for that much more. Cheers from HB NZ
Harbor Freight has 41/1000th regular steel wire and stainless wire. Amazon has a number of wires. Maybe should have waited for this weekend when the temp is in the low 20s or last week when it was in the teens.
You keep selling the premium wood I'll keep selling the cheap green stuff 😜. I'm also getting ready to put up a big pile of camp wood and hardwood to season for next year. Hoping the seasoned wood will help my typical late fall slump in sales
Great, Rachel wears hers almost every time we work in the woodyard. I still love my steel toe cowboy boots. I wear my brunt mock toe boots over the Hisea because they have the safety toe. For the $$ the Hisea are tough to beat.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors bailing will work fine. It's used for all kinds of farm fixes. That stainless is even tougher and you can get it in a few Guage sizes.
These last few videos have been pretty good, but one thing has been noticeably absent and it concerns me greatly: The Wood Bunny! 🐇 I mean, that guy Herb (?) is OK and all, but...... 😂
Everyone wants it ready to burn. They don't want to wait until it's seasoned. Just stack it up and let it season, it will sell quick. We've been having rain for a week now,but cold air is making it's return. I mean I'm only 6 miles from Pennsylvania. 4 hours from Western NY where you get over 20 ft of snow a year. Heath use the vinyl coated wire. That will hold, I use it to guy trees that I plant in the Spring, Summer and early Fall. Try it and see, it will work for what you're using it for.
I worked at a lumber yard in the returns department a while. While caretaking for Dad. I got me some lumber tarps, like go on the rail cars! Best tarp, wish I got more! Free cuz I worked there! You could try and go ask? Or try and look find old pontoon lift covers! Who the heck was that, oh the camera person! Yeah that's like landscaping, it's like sculpture really, you make a total mess half way through. Have a Goodin' Heath and camera person! HOpe the boss isn't pidded!
Yup it’s a muddy sloppy mess here in Maryland now. I was gonna suggest you use old electric wire for the tote lids. That’s what I use. I should be able to pick up my all wood box wedge after new years. Can’t wait to try it out.
I had customers who came to get wood i would tell them it might be green buy at own dicresion and they would buy it and it would burn told them just split during the week and would still buy it cause bought like seven pickup loads during the season
Selling green firewood is a challenge depending on you area and market. The logfather in Nova Scotia seem sto have it figured out he sells many full cords a year. And his explanations make sense.
There’s a secret to selling green firewood. Just call it seasoned. It also works for rotted wood. Joes Premium Firewood does it all the time, and his business is thriving. 😏
Heath,just remember what they say Rome wasn’t built in a day at least you have some kind of idea about what it will be like 👍 when it is all said and done ✅ 😮😊❤
GOOD SHOW HEATH, I SEE YOU ARE STANDING UP AGAIN TO GUIDE YOUR FORKS, HAVE YOU STOPPED USING YOUR BACK-UP CAMERA WHEN LOADING BINS AND PALLETS? YES, RACHEL WILL BE UPSET BUT UNDERSTANDING AS WELL.
With this tractor it just as easy to stand up real quick. I have the camera on my truck now. The old tractor wasn’t a hydrostatic drive so it was more difficult to stand up to look.
You tried to sell it at the wrong time of the year. Here oak goes for $400 to $500 for split and seasoned in the fall/winter. Green unseasoned oak goes for $300 to $350 in the summer.
People are living from dad to day now,doesn’t matter how cheap it is if they don’t just have to have it to get thru other day Americans just can’t accept the reality and fact this system is broken and will continue to fail 😢😢😢
Perfectly honest you wanted too much for green wood that has to sit almost 2 years. 100 bucks a face cord and you'll probably move it. Getting it cheap is why folks like to buy green
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors but look at it this way 150 sitting on it for 2 years. 100 for green and it's out the door when you split it making you money automatically. Split and sell green on your slow months and or to military and first responder vets and old folks.
You keep selling the premium wood I'll keep selling the cheap green stuff 😜. I'm also getting ready to put up a big pile of camp wood and hardwood to season for next year. Hoping the seasoned wood will help my typical late fall slump in sales
I’d love to sell the combo! I bet it will help! Not one offer so far on my oak. I dropped the price too! I’d love to be able to sell green for fast turnover.
I like that you’re expanding.
It will be nice for sure.
Heath good lucky on your expansion wood 🪵 yard . Merry Christmas to you and family great video Heath 😊.
Look forward to seeing the wood yard expansion. Take care Heath.
Thanks, it will definitely help!
Congratulations On 25K Subscribers,
Thank you!!
Looks like most of the YTers that I watch for firewood processing are moving to bins - must be the right thing to do. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Thank you! Did you get your stickers?
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Sure did - thank you very much.
@ you’re welcome! Appreciate the support!
Prob best you start looking on market place for a sawmill . Karen says your gona need it when Rachel gets home to build your self a place to sleep . 😂
lol, I’ve always wanted a sawmill!
I agree that greenwood selling will depend on many factors. I don’t really sell wood. Yet, I have sold some green on the condition that they do all of the handling after split. It really depends on the situation
For sure! Thanks Robert.
The weatherman is my best salesman, if he uses a four letter word on the news (snow or cold) my phone start ringing , trust me those people are not looking for green wood!
So true!
They are broke and only buy a must have items 😢😢😢
No one is going to tie up any money and what they don’t have 😢
Excellent video, Have a lovely Xmas with your family.
Thanks Mark, Merry Christmas !
I use rebar tie wire, you can get it at Lowes or TSC.
Thanks! I’ll definitely be picking up some more.
Hey Heath, good video. Rachel is not going to like all that mud. You may want to pray for snow so it covers the ruts. It will clean up.

Yeah I’d love a bigger tank for the rec fuel but haven’t shopped one yet. Merry Christmas.
Good video Heath you know I just love that you’re always thinking about improvements. If we didn’t have that we would drive our wives crazy
Anyway, keep up the good work. I know she’ll forgive you. She’s that type of soul. Can hardly wait to see the progress.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you, Merry Christmas!
Great video Heath. Reorganizing is good but it can be a real pain when the ground is muddy. I am dealing with that right now in my processing area right now. Rachel will probably not have a sense of humor about the mess.
I hate the mud. Luckily we can get it fixed up this spring.
Great work Keith. Keep up the good work. I know she’ll forgive you. She’s got that great soul lol. It’s always nice to be thinking about improvements. I’m doing the same thing myself here I wanna keep my wood under wraps. It is always always a working progress and so are we that’s what I keep telling my wife lol
Yes it is, Rachel is definitely one of a kind.
Was that your daughter making funny faces on the camera? Nice she came home for Christmas!! Nice video. Tell Rachel that Ben made the mess!!!😂
Yes it was. She’s a goofball for sure. Nice to have her home for the holidays!

Thank you!
I loose filled my totes in a row and covered with a canopy tent side that had velcrow straps. Fit perfect and can't blow off
Are you allowed to burn trash/tree slash on your property? Easy way to keep wood yard clean.
Yes, we do from time to time.
Reason I didn't sell fully seasoned wood was I didn't have the space to store it while it dried. Your yard will be ok once it's had a chance to dry out. Green wood here sells for 30-40% less than certified dry wood of the same species. So,got the room take the time todry it,sell for that much more. Cheers from HB NZ
Yeah we definitely have to get our inventory up! The added space will help!
That looks like rebar tie wire it can be bought on amazon or some well stocked hardware stores I use it for many things it comes in rolls
Thanks! It’s so handy.
Hello what about zip ties to hold the lids. Just a thought. Take care
That may work but they aren’t re-usable like the wire.
Harbor Freight has 41/1000th regular steel wire and stainless wire. Amazon has a number of wires. Maybe should have waited for this weekend when the temp is in the low 20s or last week when it was in the teens.
Yeah that would have been better but I have to get work done when I can. We’ll be at work and wrestling all weekend.
your local tractor supply will have that wire
Thanks!
I hope you have the sofa made up for when the wife gets home 😂 I'm sure your reorganizing will be worth it in the end 👍
Thanks, I sure hope so!
Heath looking at that muddy mess in Rachel’s yard I think your ass is grass and Rachel’s the zero turn 😂 have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Bob you may be right lol. I’ll try to sell it as an opportunity to create some content this spring fixing the yard lol.
I’ve had exactly the same experience trying to sell green wood… zero takers.
I was hoping but doesn’t seem like anyone is interested.
You keep selling the premium wood I'll keep selling the cheap green stuff 😜. I'm also getting ready to put up a big pile of camp wood and hardwood to season for next year. Hoping the seasoned wood will help my typical late fall slump in sales
I bet it will help. Wish I could flip the green wood like you do!
@ it's a different way of selling firewood. It's definitely feast or famine
Just go get a small roll of electric fence wire!! I use that for everything!! Or wire coat hangers!!
Thanks!
How did those Hisea boots y’all showed us awhile back hold up?
Great, Rachel wears hers almost every time we work in the woodyard. I still love my steel toe cowboy boots. I wear my brunt mock toe boots over the Hisea because they have the safety toe. For the $$ the Hisea are tough to beat.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Thanks for the update. I’ll give those a try.
Bailing wire at any farm store. Or stainless electric fence wire like Chris on in the woodyard uses.
I think that may be a little thinner but may work.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors bailing will work fine. It's used for all kinds of farm fixes.
That stainless is even tougher and you can get it in a few Guage sizes.
These last few videos have been pretty good, but one thing has been noticeably absent and it concerns me greatly: The Wood Bunny! 🐇
I mean, that guy Herb (?) is OK and all, but......
😂
She’ll be back, busy for the holidays and spending some extra time with her mom when she can.
I'm surprised, as if I had a wood burner I'd be interested in getting it green!
Yeah I think my prices are just too high. I’ll get my $$ when it’s seasoned though so no need to short myself.
@hardworkingmanoutdoors True. It was worth a shot!
Everyone wants it ready to burn. They don't want to wait until it's seasoned. Just stack it up and let it season, it will sell quick. We've been having rain for a week now,but cold air is making it's return. I mean I'm only 6 miles from Pennsylvania. 4 hours from Western NY where you get over 20 ft of snow a year.

Electric fence wire will hold it down. Comes in a roll with several hundred feet. Very affordable.
Thanks!

Yup it’s a muddy sloppy mess here in Maryland now. I was gonna suggest you use old electric wire for the tote lids. That’s what I use. I should be able to pick up my all wood box wedge after new years. Can’t wait to try it out.
I’m taking the rest of the year off after this week. Let’s cut some frickin’ trees!
I’ll be cutting more soon!! New saw will be coming too!
@ what would that be?
Look in the masonry section of your home improvement store. They sell the spool of wire
Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out. That stuff is so handy!
Also fence wire might work.
I had customers who came to get wood i would tell them it might be green buy at own dicresion and they would buy it and it would burn told them just split during the week and would still buy it cause bought like seven pickup loads during the season
No such luck for us.

lol, a lot of people do that! Not me!
As a buyer, the only times I have bought firewood is when i ran out so green wood would not have helped.
Definitely a smaller market.
Only green wood for me is in the early to late spring. By mid summer, it's got to be ready to burn.
I target the homeowner needed heat.
All you need is 500 yards of stone and it will be ok😊
That would be awesome!
Using a pallet on the floor will maybe last 2 seasons put real base and will last 15-20 years and keep your ankles
Yeah, I got a nice stack of pallets for it. But do plan on trying a few other methods as well.
You are in trouble with Rachel
When am I not lol.
Heath,just remember what they say Rome wasn’t built in a day at least you have some kind of idea about what it will be like 👍 when it is all said and done ✅ 😮😊❤
Definitely Todd, hopefully it works how I think it will.
Greed causes lots of mistakes in any business, stay with what has been working and you’ll make money 😊
GOOD SHOW HEATH, I SEE YOU ARE STANDING UP AGAIN TO GUIDE YOUR FORKS,
HAVE YOU STOPPED USING YOUR BACK-UP CAMERA WHEN LOADING BINS AND PALLETS?
YES, RACHEL WILL BE UPSET BUT UNDERSTANDING AS WELL.

Squirrel!
Yup!

Americans just can’t accept the reality and fact this system is broken and will continue to fail 😢😢😢
So true.
You will regret having aluminum wiring.
I hope not, I was going to have copper run but my buddy talked me in to aluminum to save money.
Perfectly honest you wanted too much for green wood that has to sit almost 2 years. 100 bucks a face cord and you'll probably move it.
Getting it cheap is why folks like to buy green
Yeah, I’ll get $150+\third of a cord when seasoned so I’ll just wait. No rush really.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors but look at it this way 150 sitting on it for 2 years. 100 for green and it's out the door when you split it making you money automatically. Split and sell green on your slow months and or to military and first responder vets and old folks.
@ good point. Only way I’d consider it is if I had it ordered so I could split and deliver and not tie up my trailer.
@hardworkingmanoutdoors 👍
Rachel you are good looking
lol thanks Ralph.
You talk to much
Turn the volume down 🤷♂️
And you failed 8th grade English! It's "too" much!
You keep selling the premium wood I'll keep selling the cheap green stuff 😜. I'm also getting ready to put up a big pile of camp wood and hardwood to season for next year. Hoping the seasoned wood will help my typical late fall slump in sales
I’d love to sell the combo! I bet it will help! Not one offer so far on my oak. I dropped the price too! I’d love to be able to sell green for fast turnover.
