Gathering Winter Firewood at Neighbor Al's

  • In this video, I help neighbor Al cut, split and stack firewood for his off grid cabin in the woods. Using fallen trees from his property, we harvest several truckloads of wood in his Nissan pickup including alder, hemlock and douglas fir. Al turned 83 years old in September, and has been following this same routine every year since purchasing his property in rural Washington State back in 1977. He is a true inspiration to me. I hope this video inspires others to find their inner Al.
    Thanks for watching!

    Some of my fondest memories have been from a day cutting firewood with friends and family. Hemlock with a lot of knots is one of the toughest splitting woods there is I believe.

      I knew a guy that bought a heat pump when he was 91. The reason was he didnt know how much longer he could haul firewood.

    I'm Steve from Australia and I love watching your videos and the way you interact with Al and you will get lots of knowledge from a man who does it his way
    Sometimes not always the best way but that's just the way he does it. Cutting wood. Water wheel. Life in general. Simple ways and meens
    Thanks again

    Hi Diego and thanks for creating & sharing this video! Al - you truly are an inspiration. Capable of doing hard manual work, still driving a stick shift and maneuvering off road, sharing your knowledge...and all with a smile. We love your truck and beautiful home paradise. Hoping to see more videos like this one. Stay safe you two.

    Al is one amazing gentleman and very smart know what he is doing and so very healthy , Id not know he was 83. Diego you are so fortunate to have Ale as your friend.That is one scary hill I would be afraid to travel let alone carry or drag logs would take skill that Mr. has. He is healthy because he keeps busy one could learn from a great deal from Al. a great deal of work completed . loving these video's watching from Ontario, Canada.

    I'm 65 and I live the same way Al does, I'm happy he does things his own way and continues to enjoy it! I heat my place with wood, though I have a splitter to make things go a bit faster. My gf works with clay so I built her a studio when she moved it which I also heat with wood for her. I'm going to build a sauna after I saw Al's. Thanks for making and posting these, it's great to get people to really understand, this is the way we all used to live. Conservation was a way of life, not consumerism. Ask yourselves, if OSHA really cared about us all, they'd go after whomever's financing the chemtrail program, spraying us all like bugs on a daily basis. Or the UN, 75 years they've been around and many of their core tenets, (ending war and famine) have failed miserably, but they continue with a budget in the billions. Anyway, hopefully many get the point, there is a simpler way to live and be in tune with your soul while advocating for those with no voice, nature/animals, you can't go wrong.
