Those trees have seeded and grown on your land for a variety of reasons. But since they have died off, that's all moot. If you don't take them to burn, that's 2X the waste. Wasteful living haunts anyone who does that. You are a good man. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! I try to be a good steward of the land while I can. I also don’t mind leaving some deadfall to rot away in place for the critters that use it and to enrich the soil. Thanks again!
It's great that you get the exercise. I love using wood that would otherwise go to waste. You cannot apply value to free time because if you worked instead of cutting wood then you would gain more stress and less relaxation and recovery time which is valuable. Plus the exercise gained from collecting, splitting and carrying wood will extend your life way beyond the initial time spent. God Bless you.
Thank you! Good point, I don’t cut on normal work hours, either evenings or weekends so it’s not like I lost income. I hadn’t considered that angle before. Thanks for the kind word and for watching!
I have this conversation with my dad every year and what it always comes back to is that you enjoy doing it. And if you don’t you could sell your equipment and pay someone to maintain your property and bring you firewood. That sounds awful though.
Thank you! Yes I enjoy spending time outside and making firewood. Except I probably should have waited for this particular couple trees because it was very hot and humid 😂 happy chopping to you!
When I was younger I cut and split all my wood because I enjoyed it and had no money to buy it. Now for every $100 I pay per cord stacked, my back lets me split and stack a half cord. I'd rather support a hard working local than the gas company.

I always found it a good stress reliever.
Oh for sure! Especially splitting by hand.
