Selling Firewood in a Pick-up Truck?, This May Help You.

In Denmark, the cheapest commercial firewood is 450$ for 2 cubic meters = 70 cubic feet. A few months ago there were shortages, and the price was almost double. Luckily last year I collected wood from different people throwing wood out from garden projects. No fancy equipment, sawed manually, chopped with a small axe and dried on a few pallets. Hard physical labour puts you in a humble happy place. Happy new years Billy!

Buckin, it's Brad from firewood at the furnace. I bought my first power saw in 2017. It was a pro mac 10-10 because of your video with the four foot maple buck. I now have over 80 chainsaws and sell firewood.

Hi Billy Ray, I'm a 57 year old grandmother. I watched your technique over and over and over and over and over.....you get the point. Because of the "flip" I learned from you, I chopped up 2 days worth of firewood for myself. I didn't even need to swing very hard and I am very out of shape. Thank you for sharing your skill but even more so, thank you for being the wonderful Spirit that you are. 30 years here by the grace of God. God Bless!!!😘

Buckin, this video is speaking to me. I've been thinking about exactly this scenario as a late bloomer and just fully realizing who I am as a man in my 30s. Your words of experience have helped me in many ways and yet will help me even further still. Thank you for being genuine.

Love the video, this is a small token of gratitude for the information you have given us. Big love Buckin.

Great video Bucking.. I started selling firewood because I love running power saws and by watching your videos somehow that turned into a small tree service business . The crazy part of the story is I started this adventure at 65 and I am now 71 and still going strong .. Thank you . I would recommend to firewood sellers that the smaller amount you sell the more you make.. A cord of wood in my area goes for about $ 350 but I can sell a face cord for $ 150 and if you can sell bundled wood you'll make a lot more. Sometimes it pays to think small . Happy year everyone.

Billy , man I tell ya , you always get me thinking. Back in 1985 I bought an old farm house that needed a ton of work, my very first home and I was 26yrs young LOL. Very few of my friends were even out of their parents home at that time. I had to be on my own and did what everyone said "you can't do that, you can't do this" I always said "watch me". Anyway, I did some creative financing that banks wouldn't help me with because they all wanted me to buy a little house on a tiny lot for a lot of money with a 30 yr mortgage. I thought screw that 30 yr BS , that's a nightmare in my eyes. The old farm house was 3600 sq ft on one floor plus 2500 sqft basement ,plus a huge barn that was 180ft long x 50ft wide 2 full floors w/(1first floor being the basement w/ concrete floors) 18,000 sq ft total for the barn alone , all on 10 ac. of farm fields. Of course I only heated part of the house the first winter with an oil furnace my brother and I installed. Was not cheap to heat that house even in those days with oil ,which I heated about 2000sq ft at first. Lucky for me the old farmer installed a Riteway wood/ coal stove in the basement , took 48 inch logs ,brick lined and airtight. I just bought a one ton ford brand new 1986 straight cab 8 ft bed srw (fall of 85) and was buying full 8 ft length logs off a guy who was clearing house lots , he said you load them yourself (I did it by hand by myself) , 30 bucks a load ,with a small rack behind the cab I stacked them as High as I could and strapped them down, 3 nights a week after working all day and then all day sat & sunday, for months , just so I didn't have to pay for oil. I just started my own Electrical business back then and was working for contractors too and helping my older brother with his HVAC business. I worked every single day and sometimes take half a sunday off and go 4 wheeling or ride the dirt bike or maybe the whole sunday and go to a truck/car show or a monster truck rally . Or just go to the lake and go swimming for the day. I started working with a friend when I was 14 yrs old in the electrical business and pretty much have never stopped and always had side gigs and even to this day I still have side gigs. But now at 63 I don't work as hard and take the whole weekend off. But I'm still buckin firewood and this past summer helped my buddie next door cut down enough trees on his lot for at least 15 cords of wood. which he gave me half that for helping him. I live in a different place now on a wooded lot in New Hampshire in a much smaller home that takes about 3cords to heat per winter. I love cutting and splitting wood and it's mostly oak, but all hard woods in this area. Just a little story about how I love buckin wood. Keep the videos coming Billy I love them.

Billy Ray you are indeed a hansom fella with a spirit overflowing with joy.

I was 15 teen when I left home ma and pop fighting all the time drug problems I didn’t have much at 15 but I just know I couldn’t stay their if I wanted to be successful I grab my saw at the time was a husky 51 still have it today and headed to the wood and just started cutting trees and processing it in to fire wood and selling it I’m 28 now and still doing it trees are all I know something about the woods and that powersaw just picked me up to push for the right pathway in life thanks bucking for a grateful viedo it’s a honor to watch them would love to meet in person and see how you and hogan do it stay safe and keep bucking boys

Well buckin July 2020 I got shot 6 times and about 9 months ago I started selling firewood. There are days that I hurt and need to rest so I had to go to work for myself because employers don't want someone that can't work everyday. But you have helped guide me down this firewood selling path I'm on. Thank you.

I just recently started splitting firewood out of my pick up for some extra income. Thank you buck for all you been teaching me and showing me. It's an honor to learn from a true old school logger and a legend woodsman.

Love the past stories! Need more of the old days.

My Dad used to trim trees, he climbed every tree, and all he had was a GMC 1 ton with a 12 foot dump bed. He would get paid for removing or trimming the tree, save the wood and sale the firewood. We would stack the brush in the truck and dump it at the farm, he said it was good for the rabbits to hide in it. He made a great living with only one truck, he also farmed , milked cows ,sold strawberries and raised 10 kids, and never had to advertise, he climbed all the way up 70 years old when his prostate cancer finally crippled him, and was very hard for me the man that could climbed any tree out work anyone . We took great pride in our work . No you see tree trimming companies with 5 or 6 trucks and most can't climb a tree ,that is sad. You remind me alot of my dad. Like I said he did it all with only one truck!!!! Thank you so much for your channel.

Well said, Buckin.. I started firewood borrowing my dad's 2001 f350 diesels.. about a year later, I got a 95 F150, and now have a 97 HD F250 with a matching Home-built Trailer, and that what I haul a cord with.. Your knowledge and a few others is what got me started and have gotten me better too..

I watch almost all of your videos. I’m 29 years old. I own a small business in a rural area. I just ran across this older video of yours. Probably one of the best videos I’ve heard. You just have so much wisdom. Specially when you said the stuff at the end aboit the story with that rich man. Anywho, love your videos. Definitely look up to you. Hope to shake hands one day. On a side note… you do realize your a celebrity. YouTube is the new TV. I watch this stuff daily. Nothing els. Take care. Best of health. Chad E.
