    Ok thanks, I will be buying on eventually just to play around with

    I never tried the corkscrew but it looks like its only for smaller diameter. I'm used to getting big medium to extra large diameter wood I use the axe for any small diameter in a tire for the small diameter.

    Lake Simcoe is larger than the city of Toronto and is only half hour from the city limits of the major metropolis. Fishing for perch year-round used to be a no-brainer, but a changing ecosystem has dwindled the action. I wasn't expecting a large catch, instead I was looking for a way to beat the winter blues. https://youtu.be/KY6DHKoPpKk

    Im an hour and a half away from the US border and they come up here with skis in July because they think as soon as you cross the border, they're in the white stuff. While the West believes that the Nazis were masterminds of propaganda, they only learned it from the US, through Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud, both creator and minster of public relations for the U.S. government. They are industrious but not knowledgeable. How fitting for a consumer market

    I keep wondering about the corkscrew. Even faster than the two-way? wow!

    That wood looks pretty tight in there but loosely thrown in gets more air than stacked. The more humid your climate is, the more that wood will rot. You will need way more wood than that with 5 stoves and I say that coming from a colder climate than yours. Like Dan Maynard said, use that area for what you burn, not what you are seasoning. If you use pallets, reingorce well, wood is heavy. If you're standing up pallets for side and rear walls, you should put a board across the front, maybe more pallets on top to stop the walls from blowing out

    Good article

    So I learned the editing process, quite simple so my previous material is more condensed. Im having a hard time creating 10 to 12 minute videos, which is ideal length for the platform and making it like a TV show is the typical working format. Thanks for watching and more to come. I plan on purchasing a couple Jauregi Basque axes and doing a video on those with professional help from a friend.

    All set!

    Let's see you make better vids. Sorry that it doesnt meet your professional standards, I didnt know I was supposed to be a pro. Completing the learning process one step at a time. I just edited my videos to condense the content and make them more watchable. However in the end, there is info that is relevant to some who view them

    Its still posted, maybe someone can use the info.

    Very good wood, takes long to dry, lots of moisture inside. We have them around homes in Ontario, Canada. Good heat, high BTU - fruitwood. The berries are good to eat, similar to blackberries

    Have you ever seen a rubber on your tree?

    We are very friendly here. I couldnt tell you about logging, I have open ears but never hear about i. I just colelct wood from local tree cutters in the big city. I am very familiar with the bush as a fisherman and camper and a few people have thought because I sell firewood that I'm some axeman from the hours away who gets his wood there also. Timmins is 7 hours north of Toronto

    Awesome, I have seen the footage when ours mated with yours but I will watch your video again. Calgary is beautiful, just outside the Rocky Mountains I'm hoping to visit an old friend in NB whole I worked alongside and got into self employment with him about the same time. Its all country out that way. Did you know that our Lancaster had an engine problem while out there? They had to borrow an engine to get back!

    I wouldnt be surprised if the wood takes on moisture. It just seemed logical to think that moisture in the air permeates into many things in the area where it is moist. When I wrote that last sentence, it sounds reaffirming when you think about how many things or materials youve noticed change consistency in moist environments. Factors beyond moisture do the same too, just like how plastic is more brittle in freezing temps. Not the same but I'm generalizing effects of different atmospheric conditions. In an extreme example, if you had a kiln-dried log and put it into an extremely moist environment, it would have whatever amount of moisture in it afterwards. One more thing, if the moisture can get out, it can get in

    Yes its a shit show once it snows, that on top of the idiots who dont know anything about driving except going and stopping. People are afraid of trucks and its them who are dangerous, causing accidents with other cars because they are reacting to trucks, which stats show they are not at fault. They need to teach people here about highway driving, winter conditions, navigation and high traffic volume integration. Our tests here give you a pass for going around the block with following the signs and rules. The test should be 2 hrs long. Of course the city wants revenue from people who dont know what theyre doing through parking and traffic tickets. Even I was a little wary (I was 16 at the time) when I got my license and my dad was a driving instructor! Quite different when you're on your own in the vehicle instead of being a passenger. I heard a story on talk radio about how a guy got his license and got on the highway ramp for the first time and asked his younger brother "what do I do now?".

    Cutting shorter lengths helps it dry faster. It seems like in the UK, you guys cut shorter logs than in North America. we cut 16 inch as a standard for load amount calculation and 16 inch is what most wood stoves can fit. Some are made to fit 20 inch or more, some are small and only fit 12 inch. If you deal with wood long enough, you wont need a moisture meter. If I'm loading a delivery, I sometimes see oak logs or other species that haven't full dried yet because theyre still heavy, unlike the rest of the logs. Kiln-dried wood is not better than naturally seasoned woo. Its too dry. I had a customer who got a load of kiln dried for 33% less than the average firewood cost and he called me to order wood after he ran out because he learned what is better

    If the air is more most than the wood, the water can't escape. Its like having a bottle of water in a full bathtub and opening the bottle to let the water out. Obviously it cant get out because its already in water.

    Get a piece of wood that is twisty and hard to split so that it wont split over time with all the blows of the axe.
