You have to realize he doesn’t make all his money off of firewood . He has multiple was of making money firewood is just one . Selling 200 cord a year isn’t a yearly income . If your thinking of starting a firewood business make sure you have another source of in come
Hi, Jeff, wish you and your dear ones a Happy and healthy New Year 2024 with progress and prosperity for the business and for well-being this year 🇺🇸🙏🏻🍀.Greetings.Hubertus🙏🏻🇳🇱☮🇺🇸cheers
On top of your usual content your build and repair videos are great. If you do trek across Canada maybe arrange visits with other youtubers along the way. Sawing with Sandy and Eastonmade splitters would be on your route through ontario.
I would LOVE to see a travel video with your Vanagon. Chad from Living the Van Life just did the arctic in his Sprinter. That would be epic if possible.
Just love your shop Jeff. Great year in review. And yup - overpriced equipment parts. The bane of the hobbyist sawmiller or hobbyist farmer. I wouldn't worry about the change of content with the expedition content. As much as anything at this point Jeff, IMO people buy into you and who you are and your perspectives on life and business. You've built a great community. That's how I see it. Great video. Looking forward to your 2024 content.
hey Jeff just bought a range road 300 with the 103 deck It maybe a stretch but id like to figure this quickbooks app that you use and kind of a run threw on how you use it for the fire wood side I figured after watching you processor vids and being so happy with it you might no how to speak my language with this technology app lol God bless
Quick Books is great- takes a little getting use to- then they change the app as soon as I feel I have it mastered. They say they make it better each time- but I say leave well enough alone! I’ll see if I can make a little tutorial sometime. It’s a handy tool! Thanks for watching! God has already blessed me beyond measure! Jeff
@@thelogfather5002 Thanks Jeff I'm just trying to figure it all out lol But if there constantly changing it I might be better off with the old pen and pad I know its a specific vid topic probably not much interest in it but it would be a blessing all your content has been on the journey thanks again RSD
Jeff, Happy New Year. As you consider a new tractor I am curious on your thoughts for the Norwood Winch. Having seen yours in action I am really interested in adding to a gen1 2032r. Has your opinion changed at all? I understand that a larger winch may be an option if you purchase a larger tractor, but curious if you would leave it if you buy the same general size tractor. Thank you.
What kind of motor due you recommend for a Vanagon camper ? We have a 91 Westfalia and are thinking about replacing the tired engine in the future. It’s a stock 2.1 Automatic that has run well but lots of small systems replacements. Good rebuilders are scarce these days. Lots of Subaru transplants around. Just appreciate your experience and ideas. Cheers Elmer- Seattle 🚐🧙🏻♂️👍🏻
Happy New Year! Quick question...When companies send you products, is that considered a sort of income to you for income tax purposes or is a video on the product considered payment for the product?
Not technically- unless they pay me for a review or sponsor my channel, the product is technically still their property. Although I’ve never been asked to send anything back- they reserve the right to. Good question. Thanks for watching! Jeff.
Top question did your suppliers make the same on a log as you. I know the answer to that question. Now that I own the mill I know for a fact every mill was robbing me. Cost more to produce the long than the lumber and the logger don't get 25 percent of the end value of when it leaves mill. Cedar for example going mill price here is 4.00 but the logger get .75. something really wrong with that or oak logger gets .40 saw mill gets 2.00
There are so many variables in the loggers cost that that is an impossible question to answer. My cost is fixed. The logs are delivered, I pay per agreed price and I mill them and sell the lumber by the board ft.
@@thelogfather5002 ya lots of variables but doing both sides I know loggers always get the short end on the profit end. Last year's average for me to log cedar was 40 cents a bf. Cut skid haul then pay land owner and only clear 30 cents bf but did 100k bf
@@Andrew-sanders I get it completely… I probably pay better than anyone- but I’m such a small scale, by me being fair- isn’t really going to turn the tables. My dad was a logger- he knew how to make it profitable, he also ran a mill too. I have a good picture of both sides of the industry. I’ll log my own land on a small scale- when I can and buy logs from folks like myself. We do ok.
@@thelogfather5002 I got most mill owners around here mad if I have to buy a load to mill I give half of what I sell for. I am small scale to can't change a lot ether but can make people say if he can do it why not you. I cut and mill about 2k a week being a one man operator
hi there good show .best to all john
Happy New Year Jeff. Health and happiness wished for you throughout 2024. If you make a west coast trip...stop in! :) Cheers.
Happy New Year. All the best for 2024
I hope you have another successful year Jeff. Good chat.
Kenny
Entertaining and informative ramblings! Thanks!
As a guy just beginning to sort out the reality of a firewood business, this video is much appreciated. Thank you!

Happy new year Jeff. Interesting video!
Happy new year to you and your family glad to see you're videos back hope you have a wonderful and safe 20 24
Very cool Jeff. Make the most of this life. You've got things in line so you'll carry on. Happy new year!

That would be cool!
Happy New Year. Great video. I have learned so much following your channel. Thank you sir.
Love your channel. Hope your channel grows.
Next time you need ash for handles, you know who to call. I have really really good pricing 😊 Happy New Years
Happy New Year Bill!

I’ve been following Chads trip- epic! I’ve gone coast to coast a bunch of times. I’d like to do it with a little less of an agenda this time.
Happy New Year Jeff!!
Happy New Year to you as well!
Great setup.
Happy New Year

I appreciate your input and your support! Thanks as always for watching Howard, Happy New Year, Jeff.
What a wonderful video for the first day of the new year. Thanks for sharing Jeff,
Happy new year 🎉
Stay safe

Ever think about a Belarus/MTZ they're crude but tough, parts are cheap & they're easy to work on .
I’m not sure where there’d be a deal close to me. Thanks for watching! Jeff.
261 probably my favorite saw too. Been thinking of replacing 16 inch bar with 20, let me know how you like it.
I will for sure. Thanks for watching! Jeff.
357 Full cords holy crap .

I still love the Norwood winch. It’ll be fine with any tractor with a category 1 3pt and a hydraulic connection.
@@thelogfather5002 Jeff thanks a ton for the reply and information 👍
I listened to this as a podcast while I walked.
I do that with a lot of the videos I watch.
had to change 3 glow plugs on my John Deere 1025r.
Not a hard job.
I like your shop I am jelouse lol

Everything you wanted to know about vanagon engines but were afraid to ask. And a rant at the end.

I always wanted to ask, what are you using for a remote mic, sounds good.
Just a cheap Amazon mic that connects to the lightning connector of my iPhone
