spent 50 minutes watching a dude collect wood and never got bored

25 ton wood splitter. One of my best purchases. Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

I bet the forestry services are thankful to see you retrieving dead trees off the road. It’s a helpful community service you’re providing for free 😊😊😊

I guess they don't know officially some jobsworth would say you need a permit or you're not insured. That's what would happen in the UK

Having the electric chainsaw is definitely nice in certain situations. Like where he cut an awkward piece off a log when he was splitting. But, I can't imagine this wouldn't have been a million times easier with a 20"-24" bar on a gas chainsaw.

i agree. Gaspowered Chainsaws tends to have higher cutting power and more horsepowers to get through bigger pieces. I would also agree with the people saying that long logs of 10 foot or so would be better seeing that the bending and walking constantly back and forth is more exhausting than picking up 3 smaller logs than picking up one long log. Its the same amount of weight in the end. The question is just how fast you can do it without breaking your back xD

You're so natural and down to earth, I think that's why I love watching your videos so much. ❤ from NC!

And me, from West Virginia !

One of the biggest things I learned when hand splitting is to get an old tire that fit a 20" rim, put the piece or pieces in the tire, keeps them from going everywhere and saves yourself from bending down and re-adjusting them again to re-split. Got my tire for free at the local gas station.

Damn right buddy 😂

I’ve always appreciated the honest, hard work of cutting/splitting/stacking firewood. I appreciate it even more in the middle of winter when I’m heating my home and not paying the heating bills.

I love that you left the roadway better than you found it. Thank you for being such a good steward of the land!

somehow watching you chop wood for almost an hour was the highlight on my day

I sure do miss Pacific Northwest, moved away 20+ years ago, and still have fond memories of Washington state. Loved living there, best people, and best state hands down!

When clearing on the side of the road, you should get a construction vest

Yes that is a good idea

Another good morning watching you cut wood LOL… it’s just so relaxing from this end (obviously).

Diego, for the future, you find three branches that are about 8 feet long, you tie them together top and bottom, and use it as a makeshift ramp to roll the round into your truck bed. It's not worth blowing your back out.

I love that your sawdust is (big). Keeping it sharp is key to helping with battery life. Great job.

Biceps, triceps, back muscles, scapula .. no gym membership needed! 💪

Another great video Diego you are such a hard working man. The water is amazing. I just have to say 1 thing. I know you were getting firewood for yourself but I was really surprised that not 1 person that passed you stopped and offered to at least help you with the road clean up. Because it benefited them that you cleared the road. God Bless

Enjoyed your video. Grew up splitting and stacking firewood for our fireplace and wod stove. Love living up here in the PNW. I subscribed.

I use to have a woodstove and know the aches and pains of splitting wood . Its great to be able getting wind fall trees along the road like you did.

Keep doing what you love and enjoy your break away with the lovely Julia

You are great Diego thanks from The Nederlands

Youve inspired me man. It’s amazing what people will watch. I’ll be starting my own channel soon. I think it’s a matter of leverage really for the long logs. You can fit a cable wind on the back of the truck and you can hall the logs in longer sections. 🙏🏽

Happy Birthday lovely Julia . WOW Diego , you don't need to pay a gym membership with a regular wood workout , great video to watch , thankyou mate

I'm a kind of battery expert. You're right, if you can balance the work of the chainsaw between high rpm and being still able to cut gonna save you a lot of work for your batteries. Not just because they gonna last longer for that session of work, but generally, they gonna last longer. Less engine load is less amp hours out of the battery, and less stress. Bring always the big battery with you, because when you discharge the battery you are probably in the 10% area or less. The more you keep in that area, the more you ruin the battery. Lithium is really sensitive, If you are low on voltage charge it asap

Hello Diego. I think you're doing everything right. You have a good attitude to life. The best saying was: If you do everything in a hurry, you'll make a lot of mistakes. I also think your videos with Al are great. I have a lot of respect for Al and everything he does at his age. Best wishes from Germany. Andi

You are a man of science.

Enjoy your channel, you're down to earth. Also, loved the waterfall, reminds me of the South Island of New Zealand.

having a good strong outdoor broom is always useful to keep in the truck, you never know when it will come in handy

i love your videos Diego, as someone in the firewood industry, i work with massive tree service wood 42+ inch diameter logs, I recommend a few tools to look into, a gas powered chainsaw, Husqvarna or stihl, chainsaw chaps, a pickaroon, 2 wheel dolly to haul big logs, a utility trailer, splitting maul head, tailgate extender, or a cargo hauler that goes into your hitch, always have a extra axe, but if not anything else, a gas powered chainsaw and 2 wheel dolly, you will see great benifits!

Just subscribed to your channel really enjoy watching you are a great inspiration to all young men very focused and driven thank you and god bless

At woody workout!! Happy birthday lovely Julia❤

the forest sirvice is happy when the Falled Trees are gone, it redusing the fire rist in the HOT days

Hello from Blue Ridge Mtns of North Carolina. Just subscribed and thank you for video. Love seeing wood chopped and stacked. Until next time.

Keep up the amazing work. Enjoy your holidays. God Bliss everyone and everything. Have the greatest day ever, love and peace.

Just discovered your channel yesterday and looking forward to future uploads. Your neigbor Al is so intriguing, I hope we can all make it to 80+ years and can move around the way he does.

you should try to do a 2 chainsaw setup , makita does make a big gas chainsaw

Nice score of wood Diego for your camp, I always get pleasure out of watching you process wood the forestry most likely don't mind as it saves them them the work. a bonus for you. Always enjoy your videos your so down to earth and an honest hard working fella love the cotenant, Beautiful area and waterfall

You need to add wedges to your cutting equipment. It will help keep from pinching the bar when you cut deep. Also maybe a garden rake to help drag brush out of your way.

Pacific Northwest my favorite place in the world. Beginning visiting there the day they landed on the moon. Then moved from California in 1978 and had my first son there. But that was just 2 of many times I enjoyed the summer and winter beauty. Including Canadan vacations I am blessed. I have 1 more bucket list item to check off. Yep a trip to Washington. God bless you all.

Them: If you would chose a super power,what would it be? Me: To enter my TV screen and hang out with Diego at his cabin in the the North West Pacific indefinitely

Take it easy, you have the remainder of spring and all summer long to stack fire wood

Per Forest Service, if this man is going to clear the road instead of waiting for the USFS do it.....by all means give him the wood and say Thank You! for doin our Job!

I love how you split wood while listening to John Mayer

Diego, I can see a Great couple of tools for you to bring with you next time you go out for wood. A Log Cant ($60 new, cheaper at a garage sale if you can find one) and a good garden rake. The Cant will make it easier to get the logs where you want them and be able to spin the log to get the bottom cut and the rake will be a lot easier to rake up the small branches off the road. Just a thought

you need a combustion chainshaw LOL :) great work!!

Great job.... Greetings from Chilean Patagonia, a place of large areas of forests and wonderful places.... We carry the forest soul in our hearts.. A hug from Chile....🇨🇱🇨🇱💪👍

Hello Diego, you are not annoying . I enjoyed your shows in everything I learned from you so much. Stay strong and in healthy. Have a great day

good work out

you are a great guy...never change

I love this Videos, its honest Work

30 years from now people will look at this video and revel at freedom we still have today.

Forestry service doesn't mind because you are doing their job for them. :) Get yourself a decent gas-powered saw that has some power instead of fighting with those low powered battery ones. Not a Makita brand lol, everything I ever had of that brand was garbage. Just my thoughts, keep up the good work, love your videos. You need to get a ramp to push/pull those big ones up. Wow, such beautiful scenery. What a lovely place to live. Enjoy your weekend.

Great video!!! I use the Fiskars splitting axe on the smaller logs. The 8# Fiskars maul is a great tool for the big stuff.

You must be super strong. I got exhausted just watching this video.

Absolutely love the episodes of wood gathering and chopping. Such a lovely area you are living in. Take care

love these videos

Just found your channel, love it, from Wales

Your Dad was so right about washing the door jams of your vehicle. I used to detail cars for my Dad, he owned a full service gas station. He sold used cars as a side hustle, he paid me $50-100 per car back in the 60's. It beat baby sitting for 50 cents an hour. You might think about buying a larger chainsaw, they do the work instead of you working so hard. Good tools are the best investment you can ever make for the work load. Love your cabin it is so perfect. Peace

Don't forget to turn your chainsaw bar upside down; you have some wear on the underside, take a file and file off any burrs, to make a straighter cut.

I have a 120 volt log splitter at home. It isn't the fastest but I don't have to maintain the motor and I don't have to wear ear protection. This would save you quite a bit of labor.

Diego 1st time on your channel, love that kind of life, was raised in Michigan when I was young, now that I live in the big city (Chicago) I really miss those good times. Keep up the good work Thank you

I love your channel. I am disabled. But I love the weather that you are in. We'd love to come to spend the day and see how rough it is. Keep bringing the great content

another very interesting video, thank you

The way you work and then how you keep everything tidy is top notch 🤙🏽

Building a woodshed against the cabin is convenient however it promotes rodents and termites in your cabin. It’s why most folks build a woodshed away from their cabin and just bring a handful on their porch during the winter that gets used on a steady basis so no nest is built there. Some of those woods look like they’re directly lying on the ground and due to the excessive rain associated with the Pacific Northwest you should built a platform to get them off the ground to stay dry.

I live in the pnw as well so we’re cutting similar wood, I’m not sure if you’ve tried one out before but I love splitting with a fiskars splitting axe opposed to a maul. Weighs a lot less and I think it splits better honestly. Something to try out if you haven’t, they’re only about $60. I can split with it all day and not get whooped like a maul does.

You should use an old car tyre when splitting wood it makes the job much easier and one doesn't have to keep picking up the chopped pieces from the ground a😊

You live in a magnificent part of the world, it is extremely beautiful.

Pine burns quick and hot. It smells wonderful. But even well seasoned, it leave a lot of flammable resin in the chimney

God damn i love your videos Diego, thanks a lot! as a IT guy who loves the outdoor, you are living the dream!

Hi Diego, I'm watching you here from Brazil! I really liked Canaol, it gained a subscriber

Awesome load of wood bud ! Cleaning up the road You need a rack or a fork for the clean up :) That last one was a knotty one but you killed it 👍👍

hello i love your shows im a mlitary retired 24 years us army 1st sgt e-8 two years in viet nam at 17 years old im a brother and im happy to see you and your mate get a long great and i love the way you get fire wood and cook tell me will you ever make barbeque ribs and chicken out side im from the south we are the kings of barbeque i will watch your show stay well bob sims

Ah Diego, you work so very hard. I hope you learn to play as hard . Life is short. Love your videos.

I’m new here and you chop that wood like you were raised doing it. I was raised on a farm, so I know how my dad used to do.

Wow, that waterfall though! ❤

Diego, you are amazing. love watching your videos.

Whoo, I give you props! That is a lot of work!!!! I think you should invest in a log splitter for the days you are exhausted. No shame in having a back up plan. No sense in wrecking your back, pulling a muscle or getting a hernia. Have a great, safe trip. You definitely deserve it!

Sweat equity. 👊 You're happy with how the wood stays with just a tarp so I would just build a pole barn to cover the wood. Leave it open and airy but protect it with a roof. Hope your lovely Julia is doing well.

Brother going to sleep good tonight!

They thank u for cleaning it up they have enough to do so it's Kool ur helping them open road win win some ones got to do it

Being a weak person I have to think outside of the box and with that big chopping block round I would have built a ramp to help move it up into the back, love watching your videos, you are great.

Very good work Though work but well worth it👍👍

I have grown up in the PNW and have always hated it. The PNW is only great if you're an outdoor person and have no body limitations. I moved to the southern west coast and loved it much more. My family made me move back and I have hated it again. I try to always tell myself rain equals green. Lol. But I'd rather have the deserts of Nevada! I still enjoy watching your videos!

Gosh you're a very hard worker!Awesomeness ♡

Cheers Mate from OZ .. Enjoy your vids . You seriously need to upgrade to a petrol 18 or 20 inch Chainsaw and still take your Makita as a backup incase you get jammed . It would speed up your cutting time and allow you to take bigger or better trees easier and safer . A couple of nylon wedges are handy if you get bar jammed as well . Can appreciate how tired you were after 3 days .. Coming into winter here soon ..JR

Thank you for yet another great video Diego. All love from South Africa❤.

The Hulk!!

Great work, cool music in the End. Greetings.

Great Job Pete!😇!

17:16 That meal must have tasted fantastic after all of that hard work! It was very impressive to see that work get done by you, Diego!❤

Man I was sweating just watching you chop wood, be careful and don’t over exert yourself!

Living in that climate, it's time to upgrade the chainsaw. I could cut up a pile that big in under an hour with a fuel chainsaw and those batteries aren't cheap these days and the high load tools like grinders tend to burn them out. Less time cutting equals more time on other things.

我的天哪你是一個真正的男子漢這麼厲害，把這些大樹切段帶回家，我認為這不是國家公路管理局的事情嗎？辛苦你了小伙子為大家創造了安全的行車路面！

Just a suggestion, I don’t know if you’ve done this yet, but try not to burn any Pine in your wood stove because it’ll create creosote which can cause chimney fires, so yeah just be careful.

Washing the truck seemed so ambitious after that wood pile. Lol. Job well done Diego. 👍

Just started watching! I’m intrigued with your work ethic!

Enjoyed this video

That’s some good looking wood bud ,,I love the forest cheers

Thanks Diego for another awesome video. Wish I can like the video more than once 😊. Greetings from Nigeria

42:00 If pieces of wood are left unattended for a period of time, I use to put them on pallets. So they are not soaking moist from the ground. And keeping the dirt off them.
