CUTTING FIREWOOD - The Wood Slayer Part 1

If you cut or burn wood in the winter you will probably appreciate this video. If not, maybe you will have a new appreciation for those of us who do. I've been wanting to do a documentary like this for a while and finally filmed it a couple of weeks ago. It was produced, videotaped, edited, written, musically composed and hosted by yours truly. Enjoy "THE WOOD SLAYER"

Hi Dave,

Great video. Very time consuming. I understand its enjoyable when its your passion. We heat with wood as well. STIHL RULES !!! I put your vid on my facebook page. You know quality when you see it. Just curious. Do you use Adobe Audition for your editing ? And how do you get such a smooth non-jerky video flow ? Tricks of the trade...right.

@kc0hlx Hey there,

Thanks for putting the video on FB. I use Sony Vegas Pro for editing software. As far as the smoothness, I'm just holding a tripod while walking with it. Works great. Thanks for the comment!

Just wanted to ask what model saw that is and do you ever replant?

[dlabarge9453]

@MrLeonard55 I use a Stehl 029 Farm Boss. As far as replanting, no. I only cut downed or standing dead trees. No live trees. So far that's supplied enough wood for the past 8 years. Also a had the forest logged about 5 years ago and that has allowed many new seedlings to pop up. Tons of acorns. What the deer don't eat takes root. I just let nature take its course. Thanks for the comment.

Dave,

What a great life! You've got wood cutting, splitting and storing down to art form. I'm truly inspired! I live Sydney Australia where we cut and burn Gum or Eucalyptus hard wood. We love to go into the forests Nth of Sydney and have a team of guys hauling back 3Tn in one trip.

@woodsmandan G'day, mate! (Had to say it) How well does gum wood burn? 3 ton...sounds like a little more than I gather. I just started gathering wood for this season, had a great workout tonight splitting and stacking.

Thanks for the comment!

Great video, thanks for posting! I also very much enjoy cutting and splitting my own wood. I've been heating with 100% wood heat for 5 years, not because I'm "green" , because everything else is way too expensive! I appreciate the work you put into making this video, thanks again!

Work safe.
