About Life In Farmland: Our family strives to be as self-sufficient as we can be. We grow a lot of food in the garden, raise or hunt for our meat, cut and use firewood to heat our house in the cold Minnesota winters. We want to know where our food comes from, what goes into it. We strive to live a slower and sustainable lifestyle with family being our first priority. On this channel, you will find a lot of how-tos, shared experiences, recipes, and videos of things we are trying and learning more about.
Great to see a hard-working youngman. You reap what you sow.
I used a Otter sled this year a lot in Minnesota to get firewood out of the woods. Makes it easy especially for the deep snow. Being 64 I have been cutting wood for 30 yrs and you are so right about paying attention to everything that’s happening. Thanks for the reminder. I like your log lift you are using. Looks like a real back saver.
Happiness is nice stack of dry firewood by a stove on a cold snowy day.
That random Batman jingle when showing where "here" is was freaking awesome.
Good on you man. Thanks for letting us be a part.God Bless
That is so great you are able to help someone out. You may never see a reward for that action but it is always worth it!
The good we do for others always comes back around when we need it. I always learn something new about how to do the job, thanks.
You are full of information and very appreciated for your sharing! Thank you!
good day to you Eric & Family !! thanks for sharing your adventures and update on & off the farm 🏡🏗️🛠️
It's good to be able to help another family out with wood. Good work!
I really enjoy your videos , they’re very informative and lots of good tips
Your videography skills always impress me.
For a young guy, you really have a good head on your shoulders.
Enjoy watching your videos! Love the scenery. Love cutting, splitting wood.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch! 😀👍
Good job and so true on putting a bit more away each year and it adds up. When some years provide the opportunity to gather much more wood than usual, take that chance to get well ahead! I've been doing this for over 10 years, and I'm sitting on about 7 to 8 years of wood to heat my home - burning about 5 cord/year. Good work thinking about safety as well - so true that the situation can turn on a dime when you are cutting wood! Cheers!
Watching your videos makes me want to be a third eye. It would be neat to see your recording process when filming something like this.
Great Advise , Thanks Man .
I used to cut 5 cords a year for our house. Now that we have a pellet stove, I only do a cord a year for the work shop. I love watching your videos. In my opinion, your saftey concerns are right on the money. There are more dangers to watch out for besides the saw. I enjoy being out in tbe woods working. There's a calming effect when cutting up trees. Be safe and keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for your efforts. This Wood Heat post was relaxing and informative. Bless you and the family.

Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it.
Absolutely correct, slow down and work safley. Great video.
Another great video Eric!! Keep up the great work.
Eric , it’s been a pleasure watching someone like you doing a great job by using the chainsaw the right way and warning others to be careful when using this little monster or what you call it chain saw .I know some people think of it as a toy but it’s not like that at all . First mistake could be the last . I hope some people understand what you’re taking about .
Thanks a lot for this informative video .
Lot of work good job 👍👍
great safety tips , well done video :) thank you
your videos should be shown in every class room in america kids need to see real honest people doing what it takes to stay warm we stay warm with wood also and love it
It’s been awhile and this was a great vid for me to come back to. I see your still putting up quality vids. Keep up the good work brother God bless
Excited to see you put a video up the other day. Been a while. 😁
Good stuff, thank you!
Awesome video, good advice
Needed my life in farmland fix. Let me know if you need any help with cutting stuff to keep your supply up this year.
Great safety video. Way to be aware of your surroundings
I'm new to your channel but loving all of it...Thank you so much for trying to help others...Have a Blessed Day :)
😀Thanks you to!
You have a good heart and present lifesaving info, Eric! Thank you for sharing :-D
Love & prayers
A wise old man told me,the day you stop learning/think you know every thing is the day they put you in the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great safety points ! 👍
Yes they are. This was an excellent presentation about safety.
You're a hard working young man. I put myself through college cutting firewood (in the 70's) using just a saw and an old flatbed truck. Some years later, I was fortunate enough to buy a tractor with a front end loader to move my wood, saving a huge amount of work. Looking forward to the day you can do the same. We keep 2-3 yrs worth of wood (that's all we heat with) for the reasons you give.
That is such a great story and am sure it says a lot about you. College is not cheap and that is a lot of work. Love it! Thank you for sharing this.
I always enjoy your video's Eric. You give some great information and they are filmed well. The important message you provided was well delivered but can be taken further. If I could offer a suggestion, please add a 2 way radio/ CB radio / walkie talkie.. (whatever you call it in your area) to your kit. Especially when out by yourself, check in with your home base every 20-30 minutes or regular intervals. Doesn't have to be long.. even a quick update message like - "2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers, 10 toes.. dropping and chopping, safe and steady as Eric goes". Your video ended with the most important reason of all to do this. You have a beautiful daughter who undoubtedly loves you very much and wants you to come home safe and sound to her, and who likely worries about your safety. As you said, if an experienced guy with 30 years under his belt can run into issues, then everyone must all be vigilant. Its not just the trees and branches you need to worry about, but the slippery ice and snow and the hidden trip hazards, so be kind to your daughter so she won't worry, stay alert and stay in touch as seconds can count in the event of an emergency. Be safe mate.
Love the great info you are sharing, plan to watch all of your videos. Wondering if you have any knowledge of outdoor wood furnaces that you can share?
I just wanted to say thanks for your series, I'm a "city slicker" living in NWNJ compared to you, but I enjoy your content very much. I to am a fire wood hoarder, I burn between 4 - 4 1/2 cords a year and keep a 3 year supply at the ready also, since we have wet humid summers here it takes 3 years for oak to drop below 20% moisture content, my ideal split moisture content is between 12-15%. I also built a 8 cord wood shed, so the wood dries for a year on pallets then gets moved to the shed to sit for 2 years, open sides with a corrugated roof on top.
Would love to see your wood shed!
That looks like one HANDY tool!!! Looks like a BACK saver!!!
A great relaxing video! I'm sat watching it with my feet up in front of my wood burning stove. Perfect! 😁
I find that because I only cut standing and fallen dead wood that on occasion when I start to split it there are punky parts or a good chunk of it is softer than it should be. Do you burn this kind of wood. It's not rotten but the hardness has gone out of it and it's more like a soft wood. I'm a newbie here,only cutting for a year, 32 trees into my career.
As long as its dry and not too rotten it should burn ok. Spongy wood holds on to moisture a long time. I would try it and see 👍
3 dec lite the first fire of the season down to 34 deg here in the Desert
Good info. I also look for vines when felling that can bring stuff down on you, or possibly cause a dangerous snag that you have to deal with.
When cutting felled trees. I will no longer work around anyone who is also wanting to cut on the same tree for the same reasons you have stated. Bad experience with someone who wasn't paying attention and was causing the job to be more hazardous that if I were alone.
Have a great day!
That is a great point on the vines! Can send that tree in an unexpected direction or whatever else its wrapped on towards, being thrown your direction! 👍 Love it, Thank you for sharing! so a great point.
The best channel for chainsaw safety is Austriaforst. He is a pro logger in Austria who knows how to get things done, at the same time he is unafraid to show when something goes wrong. I have learned a lot by just watching his videos, especially storm damage work.
I had not heard of that channel before. I am going to need to check it out. Thanks!
Those Wells Lamont gloves, they are nice gloves but I seem to wear out the tips of the ring and middle fingers so fast when I am cutting, splitting and stacking. I even slide a pair of Mechanix gloves inside those and wore right through them. I need re-enforced finger tips, not palms! With that new Stihl MS-441 I experienced a few kick backs from it...I didn't get hurt but it let me know that I was dealing with some serious power compared to that old 42cc Poulan!
Great Videos !! What ton is your CountryLine Log Splitter ? And how do you like it? I'm looking around for a splitter.
At least you can get in woods. All rain and mud here now
Thumbs up
Do you recommend covering your wood once it split I stack my wood on a wood rack made and 7ft tall 8 ft long and a its 20 inches wide and I have tarp of the top and hangs down two ft so water runs off and also air can still move threw the pile and so condensation doesn’t build under the tarp how do you prefer or what do you prefer
Love your videos, what brand of sled do you have?
Jet sled would be my guess.
ending is too cute! oscar on the way
I use a wood sled most of the time sometimes I get lucky and able to tale my vehicle and trailer to get wood
Looks like you could use a 4wheeler and trailer
The other thing to rember is as the snow gets deeper be carefull cutting into the snow alway kick the snow out from around the tree you never know what might be under the snow
Love the wood sled idea. I've been cutting our fire wood for 40 years and that method never occurred to me. Much better then hauling by hand or using a wheelbarrow.
Is it designed specially to tote wood or just a plastic toboggan, my Googlefu failed me?
Check out jet sled.. I use a couple for everything. Nice for trapping also.
Watch out for the “widow makers”, friend has a metal plate in his head because of one.
Ah, one day left! Shared on my Facebook (Public and Friends) and Tweeted.....

Trusty Rusty going strong. Self-draining floorboards. :-)
lol, she has seen better days. 😆👍
I have ran across hidden barb wire!! That is not fun! What a nice day to get out a get a truck load of wood!
Oh I hear you on that. I have found a couple trees that it had grown in. Hope you guys are doing well. Been a while. 😀👍
I'd cut that bent over and broken stuff first, or at least that's what I have done. No use to having it looming just out of sight as one cuts and it's never going to amount to anything anyway. No one expects the unexpected (or the Spanish Inquisition) but there are many protocols one can follow to let the unexpected unfold without expectations of harm!
I burn 6 to 10 cord a year. I don't stack mine. I toss it in a big pile.
when my gloves wear i'll put them on the other hand then you wear out the front and back
Love the deer hair and blood in the sled. Game Wardens look for that sort of thing this time of year.
Ha, I didn't even notice that. I guess I should of sprayed it out better.
No hard hat mr.safety?
Why did you lose sight in your eye
I had a blood vessel break. They eventually did surgery. My first video was the day the doctor gave me the ok. 😁
Where is your wife??? I love you!
You really need to lock the truck?
Why do you bother to lock that pickup on ur own land ?
He moved out of the city. Old habits die hard I guess.
