This is exactly why I partnered with a tree service. They have so many logs they are thankful to get rid of. It's almost impossible to do both as a one man operation. Loved the stories about how you started. I think we all have our dads to blame, uh... I mean "thank", lol 🤠👍
I hope all the newcomers watch all this,it'll answer a lot of questions guys, I've got a buddy same way Chris, wood isn't free when I have to travel a hour to go cut and get it, just don't add up when I have wood a mile down the road,thanks I always love the old stories.
Hi Chris, hope your foot is feeling better. Maybe your new best friend Jason and his outfit could cut the property and deliver logs to your woodyard for a lower price than what you normally pay per cord. It is so easy to spend your money. Keep up the great work!
Sad story about them raising the road lever causing the lower lands to flood. Oak trees sure don't like wet feet. If there is a next time, can you please make an episode about transplanting tree seedlings? That'd be helpful as I'd like to plant trees in the future.
Get some clover and brassica foot plots in there. The white oaks will keep the deer around until September. The red oak acorns will slowly become less acidic (preserved) and last until mid October. A fall food plot should hold the deer into November. Looks like a great deer hunting property.
With the large dead trees going down, what happens is wind vortexes swirl around where the old trees were because the top canopy cover is not there anymore this splinters the tall trees and down they come in a wind storm. United they stand -divided they fall. My starting in wood was in a way the same 40 years ago
Reading through the comments this morning some good ideas, the only thing needed is the time factor. Chris you could set up a wood cutting day if your friend is ok with it and invite wood cutters to come and cut . Make a one day event of it. Just a thought
So much for "Environmental Impact Study" BEFORE doing the road work!! Someone most likely got their pockets lines with Benjamins for looking the other way and it was unfortunately not your friend, Bill... Even with all the changes to the property over the decades. It is still a really nice spot and he is lucky to have it!👍
More wood is the right answer!! Good background story!! Definitely good wood supply. Just a shame that the trees are dying!! At least it is not going to waist!!
I'm constantly tripping over my ash. My family farm is covered with Dead Ash. I need a batteries for my wonderful cordless Makita tools. Buying a chainsaw was the cheapest way to get them was buy a cordless chainsaw that came with four batteries. 400$😮 I'm on my 4th season now cutting wood and heating with it and absolutely love it. All done with a cordless chainsaw and a splitting maul by hand. I always chuckle when I listen to my able-bodied friends complain about their heating bills. They were never motivated to get off their lazy butts and do anything other than complain about the cost of heating LOL ✌️
I have about 60 acres of hardwoods (red oak,walnut,hickory). I spend a lot of time trying to keep the grounds cleaned up. Its a never ending process. Take care and be safe.
Chris, thanks for taking us in the trip. Sounds to me like you need a crew of Tony and his cool tools,Bert and Adam. Might be a cut, haul the logs to the path and make stacks on some pallets. Have it as your oak reserve ready when you run out. Stay safe.
Deer eat maples too? In the wooded area behind my house i put tomato cages around maple seedlings and as they get bigger i put bigger cages in. Kind of a pain but it works to get them established.
Nice history and walk around your buddy's property. It's a shame about the oak wilt devastation, but what can you do other than clear them out and make the best of the situation. I think it's great that you have a replanting system 😊
My wood addiction started the same way. Kind of. A big storm knocked down a ton of old growth red oaks at a family members land. 13 years later I'm now also in the buying from logger club but also still enjoy cutting dead standing oaks when I get the chance.
I'm glad you did this video. Personal stories are an enjoyable time for us to listen too! Love your channel, keep posting! PS.. This channel is responsible for my hobby Firewood business growing to what it is today. Thanks Chris! (In the Woodyard) God Bless! Time for me to head to my woodyard.
think you are looking healthy foir as much wood as you want Chris, you need to sublet the works there... thanks for sharing your history, lovely to see
Nice account Chris of your firewood biz genesis and forestry analysis. We use White Spruce as a friendly joke for Christmas trees with friends. It is known as "skunk" or "cat piss" spruce here. Pretty strong smell and perhaps why deer don't like it. Good presentation as usual.
A great video Chris you have a good friend there who knows you make money but doing a job that takes a lot of wood and time do you go and stay at cabin while you cut wood the oak wilt is bad when they cut one down at tree company had to wash chain and bar in bleach so as not to spend it don't know if worked but that was recommended you just have to be careful when getting trees a lot of widow maker looks like here the volunteer trees are mulberries cause birds help plant the seed nice of you going back to roots to get started more less helping a friend clear land to get around and found you can make money from it times like these wish could get self cloned to do three jobs at once always enjoy watching you and learning something new everyday from. My friend take care and you just go get logs as needed are put on schedule 😊
Depending how far from your place it is, would be best to find someone with a skidder, spend a week or so logging, skidder drag to one landing, then have your tractor or hire logger john and haul it to your yard. But again you would have to figure out a price that works good for you, skidder operator, John to haul it, and what you make on it after it processed. Or move tractor and processor to landing if got wood customers near the area and just process out of there if wood is dry enough that is. But yes lots of variables to look into or if worth it.
Would it make sense to go in, cut a bunch of trees up to pole length, stack them along the roads, and then, when you have a few loads worth, hire your log-hauler to come in and haul them to the woodyard?
In NS Canada they cut down trees and usually alders, black berries or the ever hated multiflora roses are the first to takeover....I have seen maple trees resprout stems in the Spring (if they were cut in the Fall)
That looks similar to my cabin but mine sits higher and my fireplace is on the other end. I remember the video with you and Tony and the winch. Would it be worth having the new logger friend go in there and cut all the dead trees and haul them to you?
Nice tour/video Chris. That is a very nice property and cabin. Long ago a business mentor told me that logistics was one of if not the most important factors to business efficiency and success. Shame for all that timber or firewood to rot on the ground but unless you have a solution to the logistics issues, not worth the time. GNI
I realize it's a long haul, but what about making it a satellite woodyard. Maybe a bin for the oak, nothing huge but ready for sale. I know it's all about having the time.
Thats a whole lotta stumps out there. If you get bored and need a new project, maybe consider getting a 3-point/pto tree saw for your tractor and bring it over to cut all those stumps down flush to ground level. Obviously not worth the trouble of actually grinding, but at least get them where they aren't vehicle-wrecking obstacles sticking out of the ground. Someone in the future on a snow mobile or UTV will thank you LOL.
Getting ready to start up my own fire wood business, I wish I knew how to video my success 😊😊, start my own youtube channel, just so you know I have a 455 rancher 😅
Awesome back story buddy. I love your work ethic, very cool that you replant, but I knew you did that. Been watching your channel for a few years now, love it. I just ordered the Woodmizer FS500. I love orange 🧡 Are you familiar with that unit? I'll fo a video on it when I pick it up, would love to come cut wood with you gentlemen, keep up the great work sir
42°F rainy here in Ashville Ohio this morning.... Lotta good wood there Chris.... Lotta effort and time to get it out of the property and home to sell... ROI worth it?
When the wood is free certainly is worth the r.o.i. it's hard work but Chris isn't afraid of hard work. He is also helping his friend out and keep their trails and land maintained.
There he just mentioned he can cut 8 facecords a day. So that's $1000 worth of wood...but would have to make 2 trips that were 1.5 hours each way. So $1000 worth of wood in 1.5 days add half a day to split it. 2 days which mean 500 a day. Do you think 500 a day is worth it for that hard work?
@@jonhutchinson2902don’t forget splitting it, stacking it, drying it, loading it, driving it, delivering it, and however much work it takes to coordinate selling it, and running the business.
It would be nice to buy an old front end loader to make the job faster and easier. You can get one like an old 8 or 9N Ford for $1000 or so. Use it and then sell it for what you paid for it?
Maybe so but I am not a mechanic and do not want a fixer upper anything. Also I have plenty of other things to work on. I will work on keeping the roads open as I have time.
Try to plant more native pioneer species. The wind break-offs are due to too much thinning of the forest. Trees growing in a forest grow weaker due to the wind protection they receive from being part of a group. Thinning a forest too much make the remaining trees vulnerable to high winds. Also try: Black Spruce, Larch, Bald Cypress, Nor Way Spruce.
How much coffee do you drink in a day - LOL. Your piles will be higher than anything on your farm if you cut everything. Too bad you don't have a friend that owns a log truck that can haul all the trees back to you woodyard. Stay safe.
Chris,that was a very interesting video how things are ruined by foolish people who don’t understand what they are doing with nature till it’s gone away and never will come back again 👍😮😊❤
Sounds like a need for a game plan dead down first and dead standing second being the standing will stay good for around 5 times as long, in the mean while selling your main business might give you more free time but as I found after retirement I somehow have less free time. 🤔🤨😜.
You’re right, lots to think about! You thoughts are pretty much what I am thing too....we are both really smart or both....well maybe not so much! Haaa!
Is this oak wilt prevalent through the US . In the UK we are suffering a lot with Ash die back looks quite similar. Do you burn the brash or just leave in wildlife piles, to rot down.
It's the principle of the matter. Corp of engineers says you can't flood other land out like that without agreement. They should of cut a ditch that wouldn't of took them much and he can get 3 times the current value of the trees for future value.
This is exactly why I partnered with a tree service. They have so many logs they are thankful to get rid of. It's almost impossible to do both as a one man operation. Loved the stories about how you started. I think we all have our dads to blame, uh... I mean "thank", lol 🤠👍
Yup...thanks Sam!

No prob

Good idea but it is almost 3 hours away for him... thanks will do!
I would be in my glory having all those trees to harvest , I'd love to be out there and help you drop them all.
Yup, dropping is the fun part...loading splitting hauling and the rest is fun but is a lot of work!
@@InTheWoodyard I'd be into all of it especially checking out your facility and that processor.
Nice to see where it all started. Thanks for showing us. 😉👍
Thanks for watching!

Ope! I spoke too soon! I opened up your channel in another window, searched for & I see you've already done so.
We might plant some more this next spring!
Cool story! Love that property! That was my life long goal to have a place like that. Place to hunt hang out and cut wood. Good stuff Sir Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Mine too..I got lucky and found a friend who has one for me to use anytime I want!
Get some clover and brassica foot plots in there. The white oaks will keep the deer around until September. The red oak acorns will slowly become less acidic (preserved) and last until mid October. A fall food plot should hold the deer into November. Looks like a great deer hunting property.
They already do have 3 food plots in the back I did not show...lots of deer on them all the time.
With the large dead trees going down, what happens is wind vortexes swirl around where the old trees were because the top canopy cover is not there anymore this splinters the tall trees and down they come in a wind storm. United they stand -divided they fall. My starting in wood was in a way the same 40 years ago
Yup...That’s a good explanation for what happened.
Thanks for sharing your origin story. Couldn’t stop thinking that you were wearing a Stihl hat while you were filming this. 😮
I do wear a lot of hats! 😉
Reading through the comments this morning some good ideas, the only thing needed is the time factor. Chris you could set up a wood cutting day if your friend is ok with it and invite wood cutters to come and cut . Make a one day event of it. Just a thought
Yup, lots of logistics and management with that...my friend like his privacy too.
So much for "Environmental Impact Study" BEFORE doing the road work!! Someone most likely got their pockets lines with Benjamins for looking the other way and it was unfortunately not your friend, Bill...
Even with all the changes to the property over the decades. It is still a really nice spot and he is lucky to have it!👍
Yup, he could have fought it but it would have cost a lot and the trees where already dead so....
More wood is the right answer!! Good background story!! Definitely good wood supply. Just a shame that the trees are dying!! At least it is not going to waist!!
Yup, I will get some of it when I get time!
Used to live in Adams County! Small world!
So did Ed Gein! Haaa!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Just goes to show that it's hard to keep up with mother nature.
Take care buddy!!😀😀💚
Logger Al
Hello Al;...yup nature never stops and hates a void! I bet a lot of the land you harvested years ago is all grown back and then some!
Super vid Chris! A great lesson in forestry management.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Years worth of firewood in that place. Lots of work for sure!
Yup that is a fact!
I'm constantly tripping over my ash. My family farm is covered with Dead Ash. I need a batteries for my wonderful cordless Makita tools.

@DanielAtkinsFirewood thanks Daniel, have a great day!
Hello!
Good one. I’ve seen videos on this place. A wood hounds play ground 👍🏻
You’re going to be busy. 👋
yup, lots to do!
Good morning woodhounds. Here a stump, there a stump, everywhere a stump stump….lol
Yup, lots of them for sure!
Maybe you could find a nice demo for a log trailer and get a lot of that wood out there in a couple weekends that would be kinda cool!
We will see, lots to do already in the wood yard.
I have about 60 acres of hardwoods (red oak,walnut,hickory). I spend a lot of time trying to keep the grounds cleaned up. Its a never ending process. Take care and be safe.
Yup, woods are work!
@@southin47639 I'd love nothing more than to maintain my own acreage like you do. At least my other half would know where I'm at!

Had a bad day yesterday. Wish I could've been running the chainsaw or the log splitter. Miss my woodyard toys 5 days a week.
Sorry to hear that...at least you are still here!
sounds like you need to arrange a field trip day for you and the boys from the farm
Maybe some day.
We have been cutting all of the ash trees that have been killed off from the emerald ash bore beetle. Southern Ohio.
Yup, here too!

Wow that’s great, love that saw. Got one about 8 years back broke it and they sent me a new one lifetime warranty. Great company.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing all that! Super interesting! And fun nature walk!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool to see where it all started and how far you've come in this business.
Thanks!

The gubmint can do pretty much what they want wit OUR money!

Very cool Mr. Chris! And
Very interesting!!

@ 😂 you bet, I always keep some in my pocket! 👊🏻
Hi Chris good video how it all started love it (Ty Ron
Thanks, Ty Ron!
That's a nice place. Some real nice wood there.
Could you get one of the loggers to get in there and get that wood to you?
Yes but my buddy does not want it logged off...just cleaned up a bit..open roads mostly.
Depending how far from your place it is, would be best to find someone with a skidder, spend a week or so logging, skidder drag to one landing, then have your tractor or hire logger john and haul it to your yard. But again you would have to figure out a price that works good for you, skidder operator, John to haul it, and what you make on it after it processed. Or move tractor and processor to landing if got wood customers near the area and just process out of there if wood is dry enough that is. But yes lots of variables to look into or if worth it.
Yup, lots of possibilities for sure...I will mainly keep the roads open for now.

maybe so.
Nice Cabin lots of land!😊
Yes and yup!
Great video Chris! Very informative video 👍
Glad you liked it!
In NS Canada they cut down trees and usually alders, black berries or the ever hated multiflora roses are the first to takeover....I have seen maple trees resprout stems in the Spring (if they were cut in the Fall)
Interesting, thanks for the info!
Top of the morning Chris 🌄 have a great Tuesday 🌲🌲🌲
You too Bobby! 🌲
Thanks for taking us along this property's evolution. Man made climate change 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Love Adams County.
Ha! Lots of sand there!
Thank you so interesting.
Thanks for watching!
Nice cabin Chris big land😊
Yup!
That looks similar to my cabin but mine sits higher and my fireplace is on the other end. I remember the video with you and Tony and the winch. Would it be worth having the new logger friend go in there and cut all the dead trees and haul them to you?
No, it is over 2 1/2 hours a way for him. I will work at it when I have time to keep the roads open.
Great video, Chris. What is anything being done to develop a resistant oak replacement? Sad to see all those beautiful trees dying.
Mother nature already has it is called White Oak downside is slow growing.
Would your logger buddy Jason be interested in cutting the dead oaks there in the beginning of winter when the soil is frozen?
No, it is 2 1/2 hours away for him.
Nice tour/video Chris. That is a very nice property and cabin. Long ago a business mentor told me that logistics was one of if not the most important factors to business efficiency and success. Shame for all that timber or firewood to rot on the ground but unless you have a solution to the logistics issues, not worth the time. GNI
Yup, I agree!
Really appreciate the backstory!
Thanks for watching!
I realize it's a long haul, but what about making it a satellite woodyard. Maybe a bin for the oak, nothing huge but ready for sale. I know it's all about having the time.
I did that for a while there long ago when I could not haul much back...no big trailer.
Thats a whole lotta stumps out there. If you get bored and need a new project, maybe consider getting a 3-point/pto tree saw for your tractor and bring it over to cut all those stumps down flush to ground level. Obviously not worth the trouble of actually grinding, but at least get them where they aren't vehicle-wrecking obstacles sticking out of the ground. Someone in the future on a snow mobile or UTV will thank you LOL.
Yeah, there are a bunch of them for sure! They will just rot away, not any trouble for us.
We have property in northern Michigan, and those dang spruce trees are everywhere and basically kill off every other tree around it and the grass
Yup, good deer cover is what he wants.
Looks like deer city 😂😂😂👍🏻
Yup, there are a bunch there!
If you talk Bert and Adam into helping that's a good convoy of trailers ,
Yup, lots of wood to be had!
Pretty blue shoes 😅
Yup, I wore them just for you!
I sure wouldn’t mind you posting up a hunting video.
Try my other channel...Out of the Woodyard...there are some there and some more to come.
@
Well damn, I’ll be sure to check it out. Been a subscriber of this one for a few years and never knew the other existed.
Getting ready to start up my own fire wood business, I wish I knew how to video my success 😊😊, start my own youtube channel, just so you know I have a 455 rancher 😅
First step is buying a pro grade saw preferably 70cc it will double your production. 😉
Yes I watched that in the video😊😊
DO NOT get ready to start...just start! Watch a lot of videos on how too...here and some other channels have a lot of info waiting for you!
YUP!
Watch more....I made a butt ton of mistakes...and there are some major thing to do right....1 start 2 keep going 3 do not quit!
Rent a feller buncher and higher bro Kenny to clean it up
Not worth it, I will just do what I have time for and keep the roads open.
Awesome back story buddy.
I love your work ethic, very cool that you replant, but I knew you did that.
Been watching your channel for a few years now, love it.
I just ordered the Woodmizer FS500.
I love orange 🧡
Are you familiar with that unit?
I'll fo a video on it when I pick it up, would love to come cut wood with you gentlemen, keep up the great work sir
Thanks, yes I have watched your channel and have seen the Woodmizers in action at the logging shows.
Surely see the damage of OakWood, great about the planting of sapling.
Yup, change happens.
Ever think about just doing firewood full time that's what I did well more like part time in the winter got back into skiing
Yup, when I retire (soon) I will just play in the woods.
Here a stump, there a stump, everywhere a stump stump.
Yup, there is a bunch in there!
It looks like he needs to hire somebody to knock it all down so you can come in for the logs!
Nope, he does not want it logged off ...just cleaned up.
What do you do with the brush?
Leave it for nature to use as nutrients in the soil as it decays.
🤘
Thanks!!!
42°F rainy here in Ashville Ohio this morning....
Lotta good wood there Chris.... Lotta effort and time to get it out of the property and home to sell... ROI worth it?
When the wood is free certainly is worth the r.o.i. it's hard work but Chris isn't afraid of hard work. He is also helping his friend out and keep their trails and land maintained.
There he just mentioned he can cut 8 facecords a day. So that's $1000 worth of wood...but would have to make 2 trips that were 1.5 hours each way. So $1000 worth of wood in 1.5 days add half a day to split it. 2 days which mean 500 a day. Do you think 500 a day is worth it for that hard work?
@@jonhutchinson2902don’t forget splitting it, stacking it, drying it, loading it, driving it, delivering it, and however much work it takes to coordinate selling it, and running the business.
Yes there is still a bunch there and I will take some...mainly off the trails so we can drive on them.
yup
It would be nice to buy an old front end loader to make the job faster and easier. You can get one like an old 8 or 9N Ford for $1000 or so. Use it and then sell it for what you paid for it?
Maybe so but I am not a mechanic and do not want a fixer upper anything. Also I have plenty of other things to work on. I will work on keeping the roads open as I have time.
Hey Chris, you never mentioned that you sell SPRUCE??? ... are you going to burn it or are you going to put it in your mixed hardwood bin and sell it?
No, we planted it just for deer cover, I will be long gone when they get big enough to cut down.
I'm curious what a person would do with all those stumps? I'm sure they must take years to rot out. In meantime you just leave them there?
It is over 90 acres and hundreds of stumps...yes they rot away....return to the earth, just like we will do.
Try to plant more native pioneer species. The wind break-offs are due to too much thinning of the forest. Trees growing in a forest grow weaker due to the wind protection they receive from being part of a group. Thinning a forest too much make the remaining trees vulnerable to high winds. Also try: Black Spruce, Larch, Bald Cypress, Nor Way Spruce.
👍👍👍
Thanks!!
How about how it ended for cookie and woodie!!!! 🔥❤️🔥🧨
Haaa! They are around somewhere!
How much coffee do you drink in a day - LOL. Your piles will be higher than anything on your farm if you cut everything. Too bad you don't have a friend that owns a log truck that can haul all the trees back to you woodyard. Stay safe.
Not much coffee, I will just work at it as I can and get the roads open.
This property might be one Logger Jason would take on.
Nope, to far away (2 1/2 hours for him) and my buddy does not want it logged off.
How much should I charge for a face cord of locust wood?
Lotta variables in that question... Locust is great wood...
Check your local market, i charge $35-$40 more than average and always sell out because my wood is DRY and clean.
@@GregPrince-io1cb I love locust and produces a lot of BTUs
@@ChrisLascari ok I think I would charge more because where I’m located, Locust is very hard to find
In my opinion ....it depends but MINIMUM should be $80 and should be more like 120-150..... it depends on your market.
🎉👍
Thanks!!!
Good Morning Woodhounds!!
Hello!
Chris,that was a very interesting video how things are ruined by foolish people who don’t understand what they are doing with nature till it’s gone away and never will come back again 👍😮😊❤
Yup, thanks Todd!
👍🏻👏👍🏻
Thanks!!!
Bring Adam Bert and Tony with 4 trailers , once every few months and it will get cleaned up in no time
Maybe so.
Just asking would it be worth your time and money and paying a log truck to haul it home?
No. To far and not a big enough job. It's cheaper to just by closer wood.
Sounds like a need for a game plan dead down first and dead standing second being the standing will stay good for around 5 times as long, in the mean while selling your main business might give you more free time but as I found after retirement I somehow have less free time. 🤔🤨😜.
You’re right, lots to think about! You thoughts are pretty much what I am thing too....we are both really smart or both....well maybe not so much! Haaa!
Good Morning, 69* to start the day in Northwest Florida. Be the reason someone is inspired....or drinks. Either way you will be remembered.
Thanks! It's always 69 degrees here! Haha! More like 19!
How many acres?
95ish
Is this oak wilt prevalent through the US . In the UK we are suffering a lot with Ash die back looks quite similar. Do you burn the brash or just leave in wildlife piles, to rot down.
The red oak and black oak is all dying off slowly and the ash is dying off fast. Yes we just leave the slash for fertilizer!
I hope people understand that when it's winter, the hardwood trees drop their leaves, their not dead...
Yup, most do..deciduous trees do that ...but when they drop their branches AND their bark...they are dead.
It's the principle of the matter. Corp of engineers says you can't flood other land out like that without agreement. They should of cut a ditch that wouldn't of took them much and he can get 3 times the current value of the trees for future value.
Yup, it makes him mad but would have cost a bunch to fight it.
00:22:00 all these dying trees that have been growing for years! Makes me think something changed.... ha ha😮 00:23:49 ha ha
Yup...a disease moved in...oak wilt.
@InTheWoodyard * I guess after many years the wilt will disappear after all the oaks are gone? That sounds like the American chestnut bug we got!
So who is Irene?
Look up an old song from Leadbelly...GOOD NIGHT IRENE....it was also my grandmas name and our family says that when we say good bye.
