Great side gig for a little extra cash :) I live where there is a lot of wood , I use to bundle & sell but the back don't like the commitment any more , I spend to much time away & just me so I just cut for my own use & I sell the odd pickup load threw the winter, I found that most people just like to grab a couple bags to go have a picnic, best sales :)
Congrats on hitting 700 👍👏 enjoyed the video……suggestion…..make a platform to fill the bags on, so you don’t have to bend over so much💪 Looks like Winter is going to hit soon 🔥🪵👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
Good Morning Nick. I just wanted to throw out an idea. What if your kindling splitter sat in a box . After you have split a bunch of kindling, lift the splitter out of the box, and you are left with a box of kindling. Just a thought. I enjoyed the video. Have a good one, Ben
Bundle sales are the way to go for profit. If you get in a pinch as far as supply goes, you could still buy bulk in your area to sell as bundles and make some money on it. I have not had to to that myself, but has been the plan if I ever got in that situation. Of course, making it all myself is the most profitable way, especially since I source my own wood as well for free. Nice little business you got started there!
Hi Nick, 2 weeks now for my roadside stand out for sales and my paybox has already been broken into. Luckily no cash was inside but Im wondering if you have had issues with this? What type of paybox are you using? I got a relatively cheap one off amazon and it looks like a simple screwdriver and a quick twist easily breaks the lock mechanism. My situation may be different than yours, I live on a very busy road (literally thousands of cars per day) in a suburb area.
That frustrating. I have not had any issues knock on wood. I also bought a cheap cash box on Amazon that wouldn’t take much to break into. I also put up a few solar powered lights that stay on all night and a solar powered security cam. My WiFi reaches to my roadside stand so I was able to get a relatively cheap one. I just looked for one that has good wifi range. I get notifications when it picks up movement, it records, you can talk through it and set a siren off. I forget the brand but it had good rating on Amazon.
@@cabinviewventures Thanks for the insight. My plan is to get a couple lights and a camera. I would hate to have to go to an all Venmo payment system but unfortunately that may become my best option if this continues. Hope your spring sales are well.
Nick, and to every other person watching and or reading this statement. You didn't buy the tree, you didn't raise the tree. So there is no money and or time spent on the tree growing up to be harvested. So yes, you made a profit. I get tired of every You tube idiot making a dumb ass video saying was it a success or failure. You didn't have to spend any money making the stand if all wood was milled from trees you cut down or had fallen by storm and you acquired them that way. Planting, staining, all the cute artwork, that again your choice.
I appreciate your comment. Don’t overlook the time invested though. From a pure profit standpoint the business is way in the red. Yes the trees may be free but you had to buy the land and pay taxes where the trees grow. You need a chainsaw, fuel, and equipment to haul and process into firewood. Maintenance to maintain the equipment and then man hours for all of this. This is really just a blueprint for a small part of a larger business you would need to truly be profitable. It’s a success in my eyes because I enjoy cutting firewood and burning firewood. It could easily be a failure for someone else. Thanks again I really do appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks for the comment! I had a few customers before winter that wanted bundles for camping. That could be a big part of the business
I got some small pallets and stack 2 or 3 and that’s my platform for the bagging process. It’s easier on your back for sure.
That’s a good idea
That’s a great return on your cord of wood!!
Enjoyed it! Keep em coming!
Thanks for the support!
Just found your channel, another PA RUclipsr. Good on you. I think those bags are a bit pricey IMO.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks Rick! I am considering a bundling station in the near future. My system is definitely hard on the back.
Thanks for the breakdown.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! You definitely need to enjoy cutting firewood, which who doesn’t!
@cabinviewventures well, all our customers, apparently. Good thing, though, right? Ha!
Great job, and well done 👍🏼
Thank you! 👍
New sub, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the sub!
Nice 👍🇧🇻
Thanks! 😃

I bet the lights and camera solve your problem. Spring sales have been surprisingly good. We still have cool nights good for camp fires.
You didn't figure in the cost for bags...
Good point. I will add that to a future video.
Where did you get your firewood bags sir?
I got the bags from Northern Woodsmen. They had a nice selection for a reasonable price. Thanks for watching!
