    Man, you are fair and square. You are so honest in your explanation in how you do your business. The content of this video has quality .
  • I live in NYC in a one bedroom apartment and I’m thinking about buying that splitter....
  • Your efforts to make your bundles presentable is all the reason for outselling your competitor
  • @GPOutdoors
    Yes for sure - clean, organized and bundled firm. Great job Adam!
  • @OurGreeneAcres
    Adam you have really got your process down very impressive. All the hard work you have put in your wood business shows and makes this old guy feel like I’m getting lazy. Take care brother
  • @uncleroig6377
    Okay, for starters you care and do a great job! Sometimes you have to call it like you see it. When you see garbage it's just garbage there's no other way to sugarcoat it. Really appreciate these videos and looking to get into the firewood business myself here in Ohio. Me and my father-in-law have been looking into it. You have the best Channel! Keep the videos coming!
  • @drdanbhcmg
    Something very relaxing about watching the log splitter. You have a very good presentation.
  • I’ve been selling $1500+ worth of firewood per week all summer long. I have to laugh whenever people say “what do you do during the summer when sales are slow”. Traditionally my slowest sales period is from early March to Early April.

    Presentation is very important, for any business. I value not using plastics as much as possible. In everything i do within reason that makes sense for my situation. That being said, when I do this firewood stand strategy I’d like to make a bundler that will use twine but allow you to put tension on the twine as you wrap so you get the performance of the shrink wrap. It’s been in the back of my mind for a while. Thank you for sharing all your efforts.
  • Adam, like they always say quality and presentation are key hence the reason you’re outselling the competition. Glad to see the little man, he’s sure growing. Does he enjoy watching all the machinery ? I hope the new truck is working out for you and just so you know.....it’s crazy hot (usually 100 or more) north of the border as well for most of the last month. Take care and stay safe.
  • @WanderLost
    Something calming about watching that machine run! Your bundles definitely look more professional.
  • @steveowen5143
    You can tell looking at the two stacks of firewood. The competition wood is more weathered, been there a while. Your wood is fresh, more turns. Presentation is important and paying attention to those details mark a savvy business.
  • Looks good. I used to sell pickup loads of wood but no one buys wood to heat there homes anymore, with all the subdivisions I have started selling smaller amounts of wood and kindling bundles, it’s all I can do to keep up.

    I’ve been cutting and splitting firewood for myself all my life I’m 50 years old. I cut split and stack about 15 cord a year.I have a skid steer with a splitter I built for it,Pallet forks, a log grapple. A Ventrac with various attachments,A 7 x 14 14 K dump trailer , 2 pick up trucks A 2020 F150 Maxtow and an old 2001 GMC 2500HD, An older tires Ford tractor with a backhoe and loader.5 chainsaws , a pole saw, including a pair of 372 XP’s. I also own a small 27hp Vermeer chipper. I’ve bought this stuff over the years to make the work go easier and for use in my snowplow,landscape , lawn care business . I own 22 acres ,and have access to a lot of areas with tons of dead standing and blowing down trees . Your videos and friends have convinced me to finally start selling firewood for extra money. I have probably 30-40 cord of logs on my property now, they will rot faster than I can use them. I don’t have a regular splitter ,just the skid steer one so I just picked up a Hudson Badger that needs a little work ( I’m a Ft mechanic and bought a lot of my stuff “needing a little work” ) ....Hoping to get a lot done this winter so I’ll have a sellable product next fall...most of my logs have been down 2-6 months . Most of my equipment is on my channel.... best wishes to you going forward. Love your new splitter.

    Hi Adam, nice to see your dad and the little one having some quality time together, that 12-22 Easton made splitter and box wedge is some serious power it does a nice job on that bundling wood. P S. I'd buy your bundles for sure so much nicer 👍
  • I believe that you answered your own question sir! great job!!!
  • @nealtubbs9608
    I agree Adam. Your packaging looks much better. Is buy yours before the others as well.
  • @nelsoncreekfarm
    Whole heartily agree with your assessment between your firewood and the competitors. Scraps vs. Firewood. First impressions on your packaging is first class as well.
  • @Cotronixco
    To get it to lift, just back up in a go-stop-go-stop pattern while lifting. I do it all the time. Works beautifully.
