I've always enjoyed seeing Charlie by your side while you work. But seeing the division of labor was a real treat! Splitter, stacker and I management! You're a lucky guy! Don't apologize- this was a great video!
I have to be honest with you. Although I'm not much of a dog dude, despite having one pretty much my entire life, Charlie is such a treat. Seems like she's always there to offer her ball in more and more amusing ways, or some obvious shenanigan like stealing the pears. Seeing her laying in the field looking absolutely gassed without an interest @ 5:19 gave me quite a chuckle.
Nothing wrong with this video, glad you found some stuff that works well for you. Cuttin splitting and especially stacking firewood is hard work and not much fun. I can't imagine how much it sucked before light weight chainsaws and gas powered log splitters. And the robust folks who did in back in the day didn't have ibuprofen to ease the aches and pains. You might consider some tripod mounted rechargeable battery work lights, I forget if you're a red or yellow impact guy but both make some great work lights
Much respect Sir. I remember coming home from work with my old two ton truck loaded with oak haves so big I had to saw them up on the truck. and then hand splitting and stacking them that evening . I miss being young. I worked at a large mill. I take my hat off to you Sir. Not to many Dad's like you. I can tell your Dog is well treated and love's you very much.
It is nice change of pace to see you do house projects like firewood. It reminds everyone that even though you make TH-cam videos of these projects that you still have the same amount of responsibility taking care of your family and house as everyone else. And it shows the time and effort it takes to get everything done.
I thought you did a fine job with the video and I like the way you explain your process and thought behind it all. The comedy with the pear thief and the way you interacted with him and the kids rounded it out great! I always enjoy watching you do the things that you do and I admire your work ethic and humility. ❤
Speaking for myself, I enjoy hearing from you. You put in all the efforts so why not put these in as well. I loved the kind of a tour of a christmas tree farm. I know at one time it was good money but its not just free money. Plus you have to be fairly patient to do stuff like this making sure that the tops are okay, bad limbs are dealt with. I did cut some christmas trees back in the sixties that we worked on as they were on a scott paper tree farm. 'They plant trees for logging in the future and we did the thinning. Much better timber and nice trees for the christmas folks.... I even help with the tree for the White House National tree back in and around sixty two.... I am guessing at the year but its been a minute and now I have troubles remembering my name. Quite the wood engineers you have a growing up. Fun for ten to maybe twenty minutes with a "How much did I make so far daddy" or at least my kids worked it with me. Any help is fine and its a family thing... they never forget how much fun it was. I was in the upper cascade mountains of washington state around rockport and marblemount.
Keep up the good work it’s always more fun watching other people process firewood until it comes time for me to do it then it’s no fun…. Can’t wait to see more videos on the “small” excavator project you have going.
Matt, the video was great! Thank you for adding variety in you videos. I look forward to seeing you on the next video. I hope you start posting more videos. Be blessed brother!
Nothing wrong with the video Matt, it brought back memories of firewood on the farm when I was a kid. Good exercise too. Obviously Charlie likes pears lol. Keep smilin
Totally enjoyed the video and was great to see the kids helping out as well, they would have enjoyed themselves working with their dad, regards from Auckland NZ.
I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost all of my 60+ years and never knew madrone trees made good firewood. I can’t wait to use one the next time one becomes available. Thanks for another interesting video!
You Matt, are at the top of my Search list and #1 fav TH-camr. Love your attitude and your profound determination to make due with what you know, and what have to get the job done! I'm a retired Truck mechanic who appreciates what you do. Hope you find more projects in the future and keep your channel going.
Hey brother. Really appreciate the upload. I've been with you since the beginning and watch all your stuff . Doesn't matter what you put out I enjoy watching it . Thanks again
Great video. You work hard and I was impressed by what you got done. Watching this while sitting in my garden in Leatherhead, UK, so glad I'm retired now.
Got the whole crew working, sweet! I have a Quadrafire 2500 I bought about 18 years ago, it doesn’t hold as big of pieces as yours but man it works great. Kind of nice not having to pay for heat other than labor to process the wood. Everything I’ve burned the last 18 years has come from my property. I also have a splitter similar to yours I bought from Northern Tools, I’d swear it’s the same splitter just painted NT colors. Good information to have about the cylinder.
That's a lot of wood. I need to be more like you.. I tackled Starfield with about the same amount of effort you tackled this project, non-stop for 1-2 weeks. Between the two of those though, you've got a lot more to show for your effort 😄
Thanks for sharing your fire wood efforts and a glimpse of your future generation of bulldozer and excavator operators. I agree chaps wood be a good idea especially in uneven working conditions.
Very informative! Quite the job for one person. My wife hears me often refer to you as my Buddy to the south as I too work alone for the most part. Love the videos, keep on plugin’ Brother
This was a great video Matt! You always make interesting content and spot on editing. If you hadn't made this video you might not have discovered where the missing pears went.
Matt, you are very lucky cutting wood on such uneven ground. A neighbor of my ex-in-laws was cutting into a pile of trees slipped and the chain saw killed him. I am glad to hear that you will be leveling the area before doing any more fire wood. Living in the south I am glad I don't need firewood for extra heat.
Here in deepest rutal Lancashire during the Easter holidays I'd fill about seven tractor 10X6 ft trailers with split logs for the following winter, took about four busy days. The wood was stacked in layers under cover but the sides draped with fine nylon mesh. Used to say logging warms you three times, felling and clearing, splitting and stacking and lastly burning. Fortunately we dont get winters like that now, just colder rain. Getting too old and knackered. It may seem a bind but enjoy it while you can, you'll miss it when you cant...
I liked the video and really liked the the two way splitter, I hadn't seen one before. I have split a fair amount in my time, my wife enjoyed working the tractor mounter splitter, she enjoyed all the power. I also use Ibuprofen, looking forward to seeing you in the workshop again but now we know you do do other jobs. 😀
Your kids will remember helpin dad w/firewood years from now, just like I remember helpin my dad w/firewood when I was in my first teens. Looks like you could use some kind of saw buck like Tuber NW Sawyer has, then your not buckin firewood on ground. You might also look into getting a Bow-Bar 24" with a thumb under nose of bar in front to prevent kick-back, use to use Bow-Bar on my Grandfathers Christmas tree farm near Cotage Grove , Liked it so well I got one for myself. They work great for small stuff up to 9-10" you just stab wood w/nose of bar, thumb underneath stops kickback . Saves your back , you dont have to stoop over as far. Looks like you have a nice place to raise your kids Versus Portland. Been a good year for my Barttlet pear& Criterion apple trees.Thanks for posting video, Little different Flavor.
When I lived in the San Joaquin valley my firewood guy used to bring me mixed cords of oak, almond and madrone. I miss the madrone now that I’m in the Sierras. I have probably 20,000 trees but they are mostly black oak with some digger and sugar pine. Closest I get to madrone is manzanita now. I’m hoping to get started on this year’s firewood tomorrow. This is good motivation! I’m guessing madrone, madrona and madrono are all just different names for the same trees.
Thanks for sharing Matt and that’s a lot of firewood brother, good job! That should last a while for you and your family to stay warm throughout the winter! Kirk from Louisiana, sending prayers and good vibes! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Madrone is premium firewood, one the best for that purpose. Nice job! Hard work. I enjoyed the video, even though I will probably never have a fireplace lol
Thanks Matt! Where I live on the plains we don't get much of a look at wood splitting. It always makes me laugh that they have log splitters for sale out here in the middle of the desert at the hardware stores. They told me that corporate decides what they need to sell and they assume if it's Colorado that it's full of trees, 😂.
Hey Matt, if you make a semicircular hopper with open forks, you can load 6-foot longs into it en masse. Imagine six hollow rods on either side of a solid/weighted steel base, four feet tall. Stack the uncut logs in, then slice through the fork gaps with the saw. Makes a neater stack of cut logs to load into the splitter. Lots of welding now, but an older you will appreciate it.
What was the saying, firewood keeps vou warm three times, while felling, while cutting and while heating... 😉 Great job, impressive that the spiltter worked that well, despite of it's bad reputation...laighed so hard for the pear thief... 👍👍👍
You should absolutely get some chaps! I took a chain saw safety course by a national tree service company and their insurance company warned them that they wouldn’t be able to provide coverage if they didn’t drastically improve their safety record. The instructor said how many fatalities, permanent injuries, etc that they averaged each year and then reduced by something like 85%! Anyone operating a saw has to wear chaps, helmet with face/hearing protection, chainsaw gloves, boots,etc. If not they are immediately fired and if the supervisor doesn’t stop and fire an employee violently the rules, they are fired as well. I attended this with one of my friends who does a lot of firewood cutting and never wore chaps . He bought some and the first time he wore them he was cutting, tripped over a branch and the running saw hit his leg . The saw immediately stopped due to the chaps and he’s sure it saved his life. He was along out in the woods and probably would have bled out. This safety gear is relatively cheap, your life isn’t!
Hi Matt, if you keep an eye out for any cheap IBC totes and cut out most of one side you can stack wood in them once and then move them with fork lift up to the house to use. I think it will assist you better than what you do now and keep the wood off the ground. Hometown Acres on TH-cam does this and works well for him. Cheers Steve from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Ditto. Weather just turned autumnal here in UK so I've also been at it this weekend. I use thinnings from 20 yr old mixed pine and broadleaved stand. Cause it's small diameter I use a pto driven circular saw then split with axe where necessary. Need a splitter soon. I fell with a jak300 tree shear on a komatsu pc138. If you don't already have auxiliary lines on your Hitachi, when you refresh hydraulics I would definitely recommend adding them. Rotating grapples are awesome for handling cord!!
Boy, I remember those days well on the Kitsap peninsula in Washington. I had a Stihl Farmboss chainsaw and a 25 ton Yard Machines splitter. I don't miss either one here in Arizona. Madrone is about the best firewood out there, but splitting it when it's cured is a real pain!
Matt, I really enjoyed the video with the kiddo's learning about heating with wood. I wish I had a dime for every piece of firewood I've handled. Do you know their is child labor laws. 😂 Definity use the D4 to level your wood processing yard. Safety first. Boe
Forgot to mention the most important piece of gear I used and coincidently the sponsor for this video: Ibuprofen.
I shouldn’t laugh, panadol Is my friend! 🇦🇺🍺🍺
This is sounding like feel good hit of summer already..
I'd be puffing too if I split all that
LOL!
These days I consider it a condiment, like ketchup!
I've always enjoyed seeing Charlie by your side while you work. But seeing the division of labor was a real treat! Splitter, stacker and I management! You're a lucky guy! Don't apologize- this was a great video!
Agree 100%
Thanks for the video
Matt, Your Work Ethic is amazing!! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!!
I have to be honest with you. Although I'm not much of a dog dude, despite having one pretty much my entire life, Charlie is such a treat. Seems like she's always there to offer her ball in more and more amusing ways, or some obvious shenanigan like stealing the pears. Seeing her laying in the field looking absolutely gassed without an interest @ 5:19 gave me quite a chuckle.
Good video showing a great father, excellent dog owner and incredibly hard worker.
Not every video has to feature old tired iron.
Nothing wrong with this video, glad you found some stuff that works well for you. Cuttin splitting and especially stacking firewood is hard work and not much fun. I can't imagine how much it sucked before light weight chainsaws and gas powered log splitters. And the robust folks who did in back in the day didn't have ibuprofen to ease the aches and pains. You might consider some tripod mounted rechargeable battery work lights, I forget if you're a red or yellow impact guy but both make some great work lights
Great video! Love watching other people work for a change! haha!
That dog is a real ham. Seeing you lift these big pieces, I could feel my back starting to go, after two injuries plus surgery.
Another great video. I’ll watch whatever you produce, always entertaining and fun to watch. Day or night.
Much respect Sir. I remember coming home from work with my old two ton truck loaded with oak haves so big I had to saw them up on the truck. and then hand splitting and stacking them that evening . I miss being young. I worked at a large mill. I take my hat off to you Sir. Not to many Dad's like you. I can tell your Dog is well treated and love's you very much.
Good to see your little work crew helping out. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

It reminds everyone that even though you make TH-cam videos of these projects that you still have the same amount of responsibility taking care of your family and house as everyone else. And it shows the time and effort it takes to get everything done.
Came for the bulldozer, stayed for the excavator, loved the wood splitting! "It's took a little bit of effort..." Ha! Thanks for bringing us along. 🙂
I thought you did a fine job with the video and I like the way you explain your process and thought behind it all. The comedy with the pear thief and the way you interacted with him and the kids rounded it out great! I always enjoy watching you do the things that you do and I admire your work ethic and humility. ❤
Those aren't pears. That's a ball tree. It grows funny shaped and tasting balls.
I'm sure this won't get the views Matt but I really enjoy the style of video you make... Just straight shooting free from. Keep up the good work.
Speaking for myself, I enjoy hearing from you. You put in all the efforts so why not put these in as well. I loved the kind of a tour of a christmas tree farm. I know at one time it was good money but its not just free money. Plus you have to be fairly patient to do stuff like this making sure that the tops are okay, bad limbs are dealt with.

hear, hear!👍
Matt, the video was great! Thank you for adding variety in you videos. I look forward to seeing you on the next video. I hope you start posting more videos. Be blessed brother!
Those kids are awesome! They are learning work early. Way to go.
Matt, great job with the firewood and video. Keep 'em coming!
It’s funny how many people don’t realize stacking wood near your house invites animals into your house.
Man you don't need to apologise for nothing. You've worked your butt off breaking those logs then stacking them. Love your little helpers.
Love your channel. Firewood cutting as it really happens. Nothing but WORK! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more of your excavator rebuild.
Nothing wrong with the video Matt, it brought back memories of firewood on the farm when I was a kid. Good exercise too. Obviously Charlie likes pears lol. Keep smilin
Totally enjoyed the video and was great to see the kids helping out as well, they would have enjoyed themselves working with their dad, regards from Auckland NZ.
I am obsessed with fire wood collecting I love it filling my shed and being ready is a great feeling. Well done sir.
Matt, thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it, very honest, I appreciate it.
I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost all of my 60+ years and never knew madrone trees made good firewood. I can’t wait to use one the next time one becomes available. Thanks for another interesting video!

Thanks for the video Matt and yes we enjoyed it.🙂
Nice video, keep em coming. Good content.
There's something so comforting about firewood (the having it not necessarily the prepping it)
Great video. You work hard and I was impressed by what you got done. Watching this while sitting in my garden in Leatherhead, UK, so glad I'm retired now.
Thanks, Nice work and a lot of firewood ready for the apocalypse …haha! I especially liked your log splitting and stacking crew!
You did some good work here. Loved that you involved the kiddos.
Charlie and the pear were hilarious. She's got your number Matt.
Excellent video, brought back memories from many years ago when I was able to work 16hrs a day, cant do that any more at my current age and weight.
good one Matt, great watching you and Charlie working, she's always there!, just think how warm youre going tobe on those long cold winter nights.
Great to see the kids learning how to work! What is the information about your better headlamp? Keep coming.
I was hoping for a link to the light too!
It is a very good video
Charlie is not a bad dog! She helps in every video and is just collecting her paycheck and likes her payment in large pears 🍐💁♂️
That two ended spliter is really fast. Never saw one at work before. Nice goin.
Got the whole crew working, sweet! I have a Quadrafire 2500 I bought about 18 years ago, it doesn’t hold as big of pieces as yours but man it works great.

Any videos are better than none. Keep it up. Enjoying the video from new zealand
Thanks for sharing your fire wood efforts and a glimpse of your future generation of bulldozer and excavator operators. I agree chaps wood be a good idea especially in uneven working conditions.
I like your videos! I've done a rebuild of a tractor so happy to watch your videos on the bulldozer and excavator. Best of luck to you!
Cant get over how tight that cut off is on the head lamp! Great job!
Awesome job man that's A lot of wood love your videos
Glad you did release this, had never seen a log splitter like that. Never payed much attention to the Harbor Freight brand of them.
Very informative!
Quite the job for one person. My wife hears me often refer to you as my Buddy to the south as I too work alone for the most part.
Love the videos, keep on plugin’ Brother
This was a great video Matt! You always make interesting content and spot on editing. If you hadn't made this video you might not have discovered where the missing pears went.
Great video matt. Looking forward to seeing more of this stuff ❤
So enjoyable to watch. TY
I agree with others; great video, no apology necessary!
Another excellent cast from Matt. Loved the dog chase...
Glad that you published that video anyway. Nice and hard work an you learned something 😄
So glad I don’t split wood anymore I’ve split thousands of cord when I was a kid into my 20s 😂thanks for sharing
Gotta love that pup...😍👍
Matt, you are very lucky cutting wood on such uneven ground. A neighbor of my ex-in-laws was cutting into a pile of trees slipped and the chain saw killed him.

Fortunately we dont get winters like that now, just colder rain. Getting too old and knackered.
It may seem a bind but enjoy it while you can, you'll miss it when you cant...
Chaps are cheap insurance to keep the kids from calling you peg. Thanks for the video and the extra work filming and splitting.
That’s a lot of hard work. I admire your work ethic.
glad to see your raising your kids right... i use a splitting maul because i am too impatient to wait for hydraulics...good work
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Deferent and interesting . Glad I don't have to wood for Heat ! Thanks for sharing !
that sure is a cute pear thief, love your channel hope you caught some nice fish
You have some major wood there, Matt - congratulations. Oh, the firewood as well.
I liked the video and really liked the the two way splitter, I hadn't seen one before. I have split a fair amount in my time, my wife enjoyed working the tractor mounter splitter, she enjoyed all the power. I also use Ibuprofen, looking forward to seeing you in the workshop again but now we know you do do other jobs. 😀
When the video drops and you click on it so fast you don’t even read the title
Your kids will remember helpin dad w/firewood years from now, just like I remember helpin my dad w/firewood when I was in my first teens.

Good job Sir, its a lot of work, however you can relax now from the Fire Wood perspective, It will be nice and dry too.

I think the pronunciation and spelling of it is regional, but it's my favorite tree for sure

Great video! laughed a lot…you got a good team there, and that dog is so funny ! Love the drone shots, really cool stuff
Congrats for getting a big chore done. Smoothing the grade with the old cat will be satisfying I am sure. thanks for keeping it real .
Always enjoy your content! Thank you!
Good work Matt ,stay safe😊
Great video Matt . Th
You did alot of work. You persevered
Nothing wrong with this video. Keep them coming.
As always, thanks for the adventure!
Thanks Matt! Where I live on the plains we don't get much of a look at wood splitting. It always makes me laugh that they have log splitters for sale out here in the middle of the desert at the hardware stores. They told me that corporate decides what they need to sell and they assume if it's Colorado that it's full of trees, 😂.
Love it keep it up as always 💘
awsome harbor freight piece of kit... nice winters wood supply too.
Hey Matt, if you make a semicircular hopper with open forks, you can load 6-foot longs into it en masse. Imagine six hollow rods on either side of a solid/weighted steel base, four feet tall. Stack the uncut logs in, then slice through the fork gaps with the saw. Makes a neater stack of cut logs to load into the splitter. Lots of welding now, but an older you will appreciate it.
Landscape Rake will clean the wood cuts, odds and ins out and leave grass intact. Unless you’re planning to re-level it or something.
What was the saying, firewood keeps vou warm three times, while felling, while cutting and while heating...
😉
Great job, impressive that the spiltter worked that well, despite of it's bad reputation...laighed so hard for the pear thief...
👍👍👍
You should absolutely get some chaps! I took a chain saw safety course by a national tree service company and their insurance company warned them that they wouldn’t be able to provide coverage if they didn’t drastically improve their safety record.

Good morning and brilliant job well done 👍
I know how hard it can be logging and splitting wood.

I think it will assist you better than what you do now and keep the wood off the ground. Hometown Acres on TH-cam does this and works well for him. Cheers Steve from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
It's neat to see how much work goes into heating your house with wood.
Ditto. Weather just turned autumnal here in UK so I've also been at it this weekend. I use thinnings from 20 yr old mixed pine and broadleaved stand. Cause it's small diameter I use a pto driven circular saw then split with axe where necessary. Need a splitter soon. I fell with a jak300 tree shear on a komatsu pc138. If you don't already have auxiliary lines on your Hitachi, when you refresh hydraulics I would definitely recommend adding them. Rotating grapples are awesome for handling cord!!
Boy, I remember those days well on the Kitsap peninsula in Washington. I had a Stihl Farmboss chainsaw and a 25 ton Yard Machines splitter. I don't miss either one here in Arizona. Madrone is about the best firewood out there, but splitting it when it's cured is a real pain!
No need to apologize for nightfilming. It was great Matt!
Your statement about your feeling for woodwork gave me hope...about a fully automatic woodprocessor video series!!!!😂😂
Matt,
I really enjoyed the video with the kiddo's learning about heating with wood. I wish I had a dime for every piece of firewood I've handled. Do you know their is child labor laws. 😂
Definity use the D4 to level your wood processing yard. Safety first. Boe
👍👍👍👍👍👌Great job nice clean up!!!
