As a U. S. forest service employee of 40 years, now retired for 12 years: the forest employee in engineering in this video should be commended for being such a good embassador to the public. I am glad Diego was stocking up on firewood as the Forest Service is getting parts of their roads cleaned for free and he is getting free firewood for the taking. This is the way the USFS has dealt with the public since it's conception.
Overall yes, my interactions have been great. I’ve only had one lady at the Forrest service office that was rude and condescending towards me. All i wanted were a few maps and she tried to belittle me for wanting to hunt quail. It was a crappy experience. Oh well, I appreciate what you all do out there.
As a retired Federal LE and wildlands firefighter, get the name of that person and file a written complaint. There is to be ZERO confrontation of ANY Federal employee with ANY member of the public and she needs to be put in her place. File that complaint and it'll send that district a distinct message- Don't be screwing with the public.

Cottonwood isn't a hot burning wood, but it still puts out heat. Let it dry thoroughly and it'll burn just fine. Good for those "transitional" nights where you need some heat, but not a lot. Random Forest Service guy was a good guy. Not wrapped up tight in his own ego and trying to lord it over the common folks. He recognized that Diego was doing a good service and getting the wood was his reward for the effort. A win-win scenario in my book.
If the fire in your stove is already too hot, you can put in a chunk or two of "cool" wood and bring the room temp down quite nicely. I've kept a little "cool" wood on hand all winter long. A wood stove can put out a lot of heat, and up in the afternoon it can be too much.
I know. I have so many things I want to do but the days go by so fast now or maybe I just move slower. And I'm not very strong anymore either. I could barely throw hay over the fence the other day.
When it comes to free firewood from downed trees I don't fuss about the quality - it cooks the food and has kept the house warm through countless winters. You're doing and awesome job - keep at it!
See, lots of people take blowdowns from the side of the road, but YOU take it to the next level and _clean up your mess._ Very few people go that extra mile, that extra bit of courteous effort that makes such an incredible difference.

I was a carpenter all my life ,good to see a guy work until he is exhausted .I woke up everyday and worked this hard for 30 years. At 70 i still have the same strength, but to use it,, pulls muscles. Yesterday i did some physical work for 2 hours and was worn out.

Great video! Thank you for posting it! My two very young daughters and I used to go into the forest near us to cut firewood. We could only get dead-and-down logs. I bought a used chain saw with a really long bar. It was heavy but we’d manage a pretty good load. Took all day! Needed the firewood to use in a stove I built/welded from a water-holding tank that was given to me. Bought a Sotz kit that included the legs, a feed door, pattern to cut for the chimney, etc. Didn’t feel safe going through the roof with the chimney so replaced a window with a good-sized section of about a quarter inch thick steel with a hole for the chimney to go through. 2 elbows to take the chimney from the stove to the outside and then up. Added sections of straight pipe up to the height I needed and anchored it in place. Spark arrester at the top. Worked very well. Warmest heat I’ve ever had!! Much less expensive than propane heat or electric heat. There is no natural gas here at 7,000 foot elevation in the mountains of Arizona. And, yes, we used to get quite a bit of snow that would last for days. Not nearly as much now. But we were warm! Not bad for 9 and 6 year old girls with a mom who was a nurse. That was around 1980. I am very proud of my daughters. Too bad there aren’t more daughters like them today. And they are still not afraid to work!
Good man , and as he was appreciative of your work and confirmed that when they clear the road they throw the cut wood into the ditch then there is no reason why you shouldn't take the cut wood home , good video Diego
Park Service guy was pretty handy with that saw. Doesn't make sense to throw the wood away when someone could use it. Finally a government guy with some common sense.
@@winrawrisyou yes. though a lot of the stuff hanging in/over the road would become standing deadwood, a danger to public and wildlife alike. The dropping of it in the other direction would fertilize that spot extra, since the tree was to fall the other direction. If this is near a stream, butterfly effect.
On "hanging in/over the road would become standing deadwood, a danger to public and wildlife alike"- Mmm, I'm not arguing for deadwood to be left up near roads or paths. Danger to public, that's no good. But specifically on being a danger to wildlife, I don't see that as a problem. If it falls on a deer, then scavengers, bugs, etc. get to eat, part of the circle of life. And standing deadwood is important for many animals. Many make shelter or find food in it, like many invertebrates and woodpeckers. Although with droves of trees dying from things like emerald ash borer, maybe there's no shortage of that.
In the millitary i was dropped off in the middle of nowhere, to chop up a huge pile of dumped trees during a "kangeroo exercise" in the Northern Territory. Military trucks passing by kept dropping off water, 2 stroke fuel and ration packs for 6wks, and i managed to chop throught 200x trees plus thin out 500m by 500m forest area. Turns out my Battery had forgotten about me and accidently left me there .. i was only suppost to be there 5days max and then be replaced with another soldier .... i put on about 10kg of muscle ;) increased my pushups from 200x to 600x and pullups from 20x to 150x .... i was a machine ;)

That was a great workout. Thank you for clearing the road. It's great that you got a lot of firewood out of it. That area is beautiful where you are working along the road😊
I just stubbled onto this video- so funny at 10 min in the conversation with the log truck guy and comments on Cotton Wood - cracks me up. Murry is one cool dude!!
My next door neighbor Sam just passed away at 91 this past spring, I had a wonderful relationship with him, he was old school and had many different sayings, the one that applies here would be "you could judge a mans wealth by his firewood pile" Nice work Diego!! One thing you many want to try and it isnt that expensive is the fiskers x27 splitting axe, its one of my favorite axes for hand splitting, very light, strong (cant break the thing) and saves a lot of energy vs using the heavy maul all the time.
@@donnadoriand7324 I've helped many a kid learn how to split wood. If waving a feather is a 1 and swinging a bat at the fences is a 10, give it about a 4 til you can hit it where you want it. You'll be giving it hell by the time you get a few cords split.
amazing work. such a good guy !!! one suggestion for you, next time take a good blower to get rid of the leaves and saw dust and it will be easier to get that stuff out of the road. you wont have to rake as much ! great job buddy !!!
Good show, 40 years ago me & my 2 sons would be doing the same thing up above Black Diamond, Wa, always waiting for a big blow down to load up on firewood, you just can’t beat free wood 🙂
Wow! Good to use it instead of leaving it to rot in a land fill somewhere. Such a good man with the Forest Service, I’m sure he agrees. No need to waste the wood when it can be used to keep folks warm ❤ Beautiful piece of land and home! I’m old fashioned, but love it when people form new connections in the community.
This guy is the truest definition of an”American Patriot”, it’s all about safety. He made the roads safe for all drivers, including the forestry folks!!!❤❤❤
On the Marty T channel he actually uses a respirator mask to eliminate both the oil/gas fumes and the fine sawdust.... clean air into the lungs..... He uses an electric Stihl for limbing. If you use full synthetic mix oil that reduces the smoke by a huge amount. 025 Stihl that I've had for 28 years loves it! If you had a trailer you could carry a small single cylinder diesel powered splitter on it...doubles your wood carrying capacity and saves your back. Marty T also made a log lifter using the ram on the splitter to lift rounds up onto a tray he attached to the splitter... that tray takes care of storing split off chunks while you are dealing to the hunk actively being split. Thanks for an enjoyable vid that just records life "as it happens". Murray is a good man with a great work ethic...and treats members of the public as they should be treated. Subbed.
Hey Diego get yourself a leaf blower for cleaning up the road after harvesting wood. I like my GT Worx with a battery. Should be able to charge on your solar setup. I also have the trimmer and some of the tools. I did that intentionally to get additional batteries that operate several different tools. I also get free for life spools for the edger. Most are under $100 so are a great value. I use mine for all kinds of jobs... sweeping out the garage for instance.
That forest service guy has a killer chainsaw. You’re actually one of the better ones I’ve watched woods, but, I still think a log splitter will do you good
Log splitter would make life much easier, especially if you buck it down and split it before loading into the truck! They are on wheels for a reason. 😜
Great job, boys. Keeping the roads safe and clean. Great job, Diego. A lot of hard work. Keep up the amazing work. Have the greatest day, love and peace.
Diego I could of watched more but I know it's a tiring job cutting and hauling firewood, especially when it is wet, it was a passion of mine when I was younger, loved every moment, you can never have too much firewood❤
Battery chainsaws are nice, biggest thing for me is quiet , i use vegetable oil in my battery saws, figure its a little cleaner for my saw and the environment. Forest service should give you and honorary bage for always helping, good job on the cleanup. If everyone would care it would be a better world.
It's nice to see people who know how to use a saw. I think as long as you clean up the branches and small stuff and you keep the road safe, you should be allowed to take the wood
Oh, look a government employee who actually cares. And even helps this guy was awesome and he deserves props for what he did. He saw a citizen helping out, decided to stop and help him. didn’t have a power trip
Diego, you have posted a video that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. You are a workhorse! And you got a lot of work done. That was a massive amount of wood to clear and you made people’s passage through there safer. Thank you for sharing this video.
Diego, I happened upon your video and watched and was very impressed by what a hard-working young man you are, so I subscribed to your channel. I am 64 year old grandmother when I was growing up. My family never lived in town, and when I was in my teens, we lived in a house that had a furnace that burned wood and gas. I would go with my parents to cut wood, and I remember what a job that was to get that wood. Your video broght back memories. I look forward to more videos. 😊
Youll have to get yourself a 9 ton electric log splitter, and a battery vacuum blower to clean up the road. A nice chap 'the random forest guy' is, regards from N.Z
A little tip Diego: on the bigger pieces of wood, don't try and split it from the center. Start on the outside about 5" inches in from the outside. Keep splitting this way around the outside until you have a piece about 12" in diameter left, then you can split that from the center.
This was excellent! Kudos to the forest service guide for being a good guy & accepting the help from Mr. Diego. I'd do the same if I had a wood burning stove & a chainsaw. This is the kind of thing our great-grandparents used to do stuff to take care of each other. Really restores my faith in humanity & good blessings to my fellow man.
Its so great to see a truck used as a truck!! Where I around (Surrey/Langley BC Canada) Trucks seem to be a status symbol and never have a scratch or anything on them, never used to do a days work. So sad.
I second on the trailer. Also get you like a 10 or 12 ton winch so you can pull the logs up on the road and then pull them onto the trailer. And a couple of blocking tackles to help change the angle.
I haven’t seen your video before but I ended up watching the whole thing. You make it look so easy but I know it’s a lot of hard work. You must be very strong to do that kind of work, amazed fan here!
Just keep a bunch of 2 or 3 inch branches 4 to 8 ft..rake ground clean lay branches out in cord stack size, through a piece of plastic or tyvek down and stack away..when done rotate storage spots and use for compost beds to get fishing worms and sell em a few bucks a container.
Nice work Diego/Random Forest Service Guy, it is allot of work and its rewarding in the best personal way, I help a nephew of mine12 yrs ago who bought 20 acres of land to build a home on and it was pure forest no road in, we parked on the side of the gravel road and walked over the ditch on a few 2 by 12's we brought along, there was a far amount of water in the ditch still, he bought 2 new Stihl chainsaws with 20" bars and 4 chains we cut and limbed almost 100 trees that day and almost as many the next day, it was the fall of the year so it never was to warm, it sure was a good feeling to get that done, we did almost the same the next weekend, it was a mixture of poplar and oak and i got 2 small loads of each which was enough firewood for my fire pit for 2 summers, it felt good and was nice to sit around the fire remembering the fun we had clearing those trees, they were not as big as the ones you were clearing /cutting up, when the bulldozer showed up to cut in his road to where the house was going to be , boy did it make short work of the tree stumps we left behind, great video 👍
Big fan Diego, I have binged on your shaking videos and am sorry to be late with comments. In BC the old time loggers would retire from the bush and split shakes for a pension. There was no social safety net so they would buy a couple of pallets of blocks from the mills and sell them back as shakes and double their money, tough old birds. I saw the old railway station building in Revelstoke BC roofed with 11/2" fir shakes, I think so they could weather a bit every year and still last a long time. cheers
Worked in High Wycome England 50 years ago . After a storm the furniture factory opposite my digs sent out teams to recover oak elm etc Waste not want not!😊
I love people like the forestry guy, realises you are a good person, doing a good thing, helping clear the road,and getting free wood to the bargain! plus you can tell that he primarily works alone, as he enjoyed someone to chat too 😂
Diego you just work your fingers to the bone every single day. What a mighty good man. You could take some of that wood over to Al's. Also, don't judge me, but i want that random forestry service guys coffee cup O.O.
I finally did it I hit the Subscribe button and notify me all the time so I'm giving myself a big pat on the back..😅 I have been watching you for a little bit and I like what you do I'm in love with Al I like the Smith family and your girlfriend Julia.. I used to live at Mount Hood and I miss it dearly now I'm stuck down here in Florida where I absolutely hate it.. you make me homesick😢 keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching a big hug to all of you have a happy Sunday😊😊❤❤
I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting notifications and then realized I never check the bell. I did now so I should get more than the random one I came across. Take care Diego.
Diego, how about getting a trailer so you don't keep overloading the truck [even if you do only have a short way to go home!]? Forest service guy - old school - great bloke. And as for HIS chain saw - AWESOME!

One thing you many want to try and it isnt that expensive is the fiskers x27 splitting axe, its one of my favorite axes for hand splitting, very light, strong (cant break the thing) and saves a lot of energy vs using the heavy maul all the time.
Ive split many cords of wood with a 6lb Maul and wedges
My family won't let me use an axe 🪓. I have the power but not the aim.
That Fiskars is frickin awesome. Changed my world splitting firewood.
Yea that fiskars axe makes you look like a beast it splits so good
@@donnadoriand7324 I've helped many a kid learn how to split wood. If waving a feather is a 1 and swinging a bat at the fences is a 10, give it about a 4 til you can hit it where you want it. You'll be giving it hell by the time you get a few cords split.
It's great to see the wood going to "good use"...instead of seeing it rooting over time. Great job and blue skys. We need more Americans like you.
amazing work. such a good guy !!! one suggestion for you, next time take a good blower to get rid of the leaves and saw dust and it will be easier to get that stuff out of the road. you wont have to rake as much ! great job buddy !!!
Forest Guy.. Total Legend
Good show, 40 years ago me & my 2 sons would be doing the same thing up above Black Diamond, Wa, always waiting for a big blow down to load up on firewood, you just can’t beat free wood 🙂
Wow! Good to use it instead of leaving it to rot in a land fill somewhere.
Such a good man with the Forest Service, I’m sure he agrees. No need to waste the wood when it can be used to keep folks warm ❤
Beautiful piece of land and home!
I’m old fashioned, but love it when people form new connections in the community.
Thats right you can never have enough processed firewood.
The township we lived in would cut any downed trees into fireplace size logs and pile them alongside the road. They made it easy peasy.
That's brilliant! Now you have started next year's wood drying out nice and early--perfect! Love your channel Diego, keep it up! 🏴
This guy is the truest definition of an”American Patriot”, it’s all about safety. He made the roads safe for all drivers, including the forestry folks!!!❤❤❤
a leaf blower wouldve done wonders but either way man your doing an awesome job for your community, plus some free fire wood,
keep rocking man
On the Marty T channel he actually uses a respirator mask to eliminate both the oil/gas fumes and the fine sawdust....
clean air into the lungs.....
He uses an electric Stihl for limbing.
If you use full synthetic mix oil that reduces the smoke by a huge amount.
025 Stihl that I've had for 28 years loves it!
If you had a trailer you could carry a small single cylinder diesel powered splitter on it...doubles your wood carrying capacity and saves your back.
Marty T also made a log lifter using the ram on the splitter to lift rounds up onto a tray he attached to the splitter...
that tray takes care of storing split off chunks while you are dealing to the hunk actively being split.
Thanks for an enjoyable vid that just records life "as it happens".
Murray is a good man with a great work ethic...and treats members of the public as they should be treated.
Subbed.
Hey Diego get yourself a leaf blower for cleaning up the road after harvesting wood. I like my GT Worx with a battery. Should be able to charge on your solar setup. I also have the trimmer and some of the tools. I did that intentionally to get additional batteries that operate several different tools. I also get free for life spools for the edger. Most are under $100 so are a great value. I use mine for all kinds of jobs... sweeping out the garage for instance.
That forest service guy has a killer chainsaw. You’re actually one of the better ones I’ve watched woods, but, I still think a log splitter will do you good
Log splitter would make life much easier, especially if you buck it down and split it before loading into the truck! They are on wheels for a reason. 😜
I think I’ve figured out why the longer blade - less bending over. When you get older that bending over wears you out.
Great job, boys. Keeping the roads safe and clean. Great job, Diego. A lot of hard work. Keep up the amazing work. Have the greatest day, love and peace.
Never seen anyone rake off the road. Good job, you are one in a million, believe me.
Diego I could of watched more but I know it's a tiring job cutting and hauling firewood, especially when it is wet, it was a passion of mine when I was younger, loved every moment, you can never have too much firewood❤
I love that you utilize the free wood to keep you warm and the mear fact that you cleaned up after. Amen 🙏
Ive always wanted to have a cabin sitting by the fire stoking wood 🪵.... love your channel.... Sending ❤❤❤❤ from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Battery chainsaws are nice, biggest thing for me is quiet , i use vegetable oil in my battery saws, figure its a little cleaner for my saw and the environment. Forest service should give you and honorary bage for always helping, good job on the cleanup. If everyone would care it would be a better world.
It's nice to see people who know how to use a saw. I think as long as you clean up the branches and small stuff and you keep the road safe, you should be allowed to take the wood
Very polite Engineer and helpful too.
Busy road stay safe,nice to see the man given you a hand.👍
Clearing that up means less fuel for fires to use and helps maintain fire break.👏👏
Wish I could be there helping.
Great job 💪
I wish I could get wood like you not so much in England I in joy watch you videos thank again
Diego, Great job. Hard work pays off for you and the road travelers. I do the same thing it keeps me young. Im 67 and still buckin it up.
Oh, look a government employee who actually cares. And even helps this guy was awesome and he deserves props for what he did. He saw a citizen helping out, decided to stop and help him. didn’t have a power trip
Diego, you have posted a video that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. You are a workhorse! And you got a lot of work done. That was a massive amount of wood to clear and you made people’s passage through there safer. Thank you for sharing this video.
I can watch this video all day.
Diego, I happened upon your video and watched and was very impressed by what a hard-working young man you are, so I subscribed to your channel. I am 64 year old grandmother when I was growing up. My family never lived in town, and when I was in my teens, we lived in a house that had a furnace that burned wood and gas. I would go with my parents to cut wood, and I remember what a job that was to get that wood. Your video broght back memories. I look forward to more videos. 😊
love free wood and it's even better with the free help. thanks for the community service
I love it when you are gathering wood! One of my favorite things.
enhancing your UA-cam algorithm, I have subscribed, liked. and I am actively watching and commenting from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
Youll have to get yourself a 9 ton electric log splitter, and a battery vacuum blower to clean up the road. A nice chap 'the random forest guy' is, regards from N.Z
Love this video, what a cool place you live in.
A little tip Diego: on the bigger pieces of wood, don't try and split it from the center. Start on the outside about 5" inches in from the outside. Keep splitting this way around the outside until you have a piece about 12" in diameter left, then you can split that from the center.
I watched an older gentleman do it that way. He had his trailer (an old pickup truck bed) filled and gone in no time.
I do that. I call it peeling
This was excellent! Kudos to the forest service guide for being a good guy & accepting the help from Mr. Diego. I'd do the same if I had a wood burning stove & a chainsaw. This is the kind of thing our great-grandparents used to do stuff to take care of each other. Really restores my faith in humanity & good blessings to my fellow man.
Love the gas saw 🤍 your videos are great Diego .. I love watching you tidy up the roads it’s relaxing 😎
Its so great to see a truck used as a truck!! Where I around (Surrey/Langley BC Canada) Trucks seem to be a status symbol and never have a scratch or anything on them, never used to do a days work. So sad.
Great stuff! About time you got yourself a good trailer!
I second on the trailer. Also get you like a 10 or 12 ton winch so you can pull the logs up on the road and then pull them onto the trailer. And a couple of blocking tackles to help change the angle.
I haven’t seen your video before but I ended up watching the whole thing. You make it look so easy but I know it’s a lot of hard work. You must be very strong to do that kind of work, amazed fan here!
Times like this is to have a stash of pallets ready to put into service! Nice to get free wood like this although its hard work!
Just keep a bunch of 2 or 3 inch branches 4 to 8 ft..rake ground clean lay branches out in cord stack size, through a piece of plastic or tyvek down and stack away..when done rotate storage spots and use for compost beds to get fishing worms and sell em a few bucks a container.
I haven't been able to watch for a few months. So glad you were able to get a gas powered saw and work so much quicker and efficiently.
Nice work Diego/Random Forest Service Guy, it is allot of work and its rewarding in the best personal way, I help a nephew of mine12 yrs ago who bought 20 acres of land to build a home on and it was pure forest no road in, we parked on the side of the gravel road and walked over the ditch on a few 2 by 12's we brought along, there was a far amount of water in the ditch still, he bought 2 new Stihl chainsaws with 20" bars and 4 chains we cut and limbed almost 100 trees that day and almost as many the next day, it was the fall of the year so it never was to warm, it sure was a good feeling to get that done, we did almost the same the next weekend, it was a mixture of poplar and oak and i got 2 small loads of each which was enough firewood for my fire pit for 2 summers, it felt good and was nice to sit around the fire remembering the fun we had clearing those trees, they were not as big as the ones you were clearing /cutting up, when the bulldozer showed up to cut in his road to where the house was going to be , boy did it make short work of the tree stumps we left behind, great video 👍
So satisfying to watch you take care of fallen trees and fill your truck with free firewood! Great job!
Big fan Diego, I have binged on your shaking videos and am sorry to be late with comments. In BC the old time loggers would retire from the bush and split shakes for a pension. There was no social safety net so they would buy a couple of pallets of blocks from the mills and sell them back as shakes and double their money, tough old birds. I saw the old railway station building in Revelstoke BC roofed with 11/2" fir shakes, I think so they could weather a bit every year and still last a long time. cheers
Good job and very considerate.
Looks like it might soon be time to build a second wood shed!
And decent little trailer..maybe a 4x8 or 5x9
From the Mom of three wonderful young men, you are a shining example of hard work and perseverance!
Worked in High Wycome England 50 years ago .
After a storm the furniture factory opposite my digs sent out teams to recover oak elm etc
Waste not want not!😊
I thought it was uncle Si for a minute!! Seems like a great guy. Great ambassador for the USFS. 👍🏼
FINALLY YOU GOT A GAS SAW I M SO PROUD!
I love people like the forestry guy, realises you are a good person, doing a good thing, helping clear the road,and getting free wood to the bargain! plus you can tell that he primarily works alone, as he enjoyed someone to chat too 😂
Great workout today.
Great firewood shed & great firewood pile! ✌️😸🐾🐾🌻🇱🇷
Diego you just work your fingers to the bone every single day. What a mighty good man. You could take some of that wood over to Al's. Also, don't judge me, but i want that random forestry service guys coffee cup O.O.
That is one back breaking job...great work.
I finally did it I hit the Subscribe button and notify me all the time so I'm giving myself a big pat on the back..😅 I have been watching you for a little bit and I like what you do I'm in love with Al I like the Smith family and your girlfriend Julia.. I used to live at Mount Hood and I miss it dearly now I'm stuck down here in Florida where I absolutely hate it.. you make me homesick😢 keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching a big hug to all of you have a happy Sunday😊😊❤❤
Now that's what I call a job well done! CONGRATS.
I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting notifications and then realized I never check the bell. I did now so I should get more than the random one I came across. Take care Diego.
Awesome song while you were loading up. Like how you clean the road too bro.
Always a great day when you post, Diego!
Awesome video. I love cutting, splitting, piling, etc... really enjoyed this.
Diego, how about getting a trailer so you don't keep overloading the truck [even if you do only have a short way to go home!]?
Forest service guy - old school - great bloke.
And as for HIS chain saw - AWESOME!
I was impressed with the load he was putting on that truck.
Great video, nice to be able to pick up free firewood like that, random forest guy was awesome (you're a good guy Murray)... An all around enjoyable video!
This whole channel feels like a Nissan frontier ad sometimes lol. That truck has been through it all man!
Good to see, I have the same truck but with a 6 foot bed. Such a great truck, I’ve had three.
