If someone gets butt hurt because you don’t respond , that’s there problem . That’s why the live streams are so much fun . Not only do we get to say hello to you but we get to say hello to all the other channels out there too . 👍🏻

Hi. I enjoy your content and continue to watch and learn and be entertained. Thanks for putting it out there. I got my first hater troll a few videos ago and declared it a win. Instead of taking down the comment or even reporting it, I just ignored it and it’s kind of a mark of achievement to me. If people don’t like what you are doing there is plenty of other content. The community that you have built and been a part of speaks volumes to your content and character. Keep it up. Thanks.
@make-somedust7 ай бұрын
One thing I’m learning from channels just like yours and so many others, is to ignore the hate mail and comments. My belief is “jealousy” brings them out of the wood work. Can’t do good for yourself without negativity from haters.

Dan, you do great with your content and have built a cool community and following! You can’t please everyone. Sometimes too, people want to be mad, they want a reason to be upset and then you get those emails. Keep being you, the firewood hobbyist we all know and love. 😉

Dan, things change, you evolve and some people don’t like that but it’s inevitable. Just carry on doing ‘your thing’ it works for most of us. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I don’t watch the live stream as I’m in the UK and the time difference is too much for me but I wish I could. Don’t over think things, just look after you and yours.

Dan, you have done a tremendous job of creating an informative and entertaining platform, so much so that you have committed every Friday Night to this WoodHound Community and that says a lot. Thank You for entertaining us all on Friday nights! Bless'ns to ya, Tedd

Dan you have a wonderful channel full of info and content. Your channel is 1 of the first sites I check each day. Tell those keyboard warriors to pack sand, blow smoke etc and if they keep it up just have the mods block them. You don't need those type of people in your life. So carry on with how you do things, this is your channel and they are just guests

One can't please everyone all of the time, so it is pointless to even try. Just keep on doing what you are doing. It's what has gotten you to where you are with you social media channels.

@HowardBernard-hh4io7 ай бұрын
Dan, I don’t think it’s so much about you responding to comments. Everyone knows that content creators are busy. For me, I started watching your channel because you were this guy hauling wood behind a lawnmower and looking for places to find wood…woodhound. Your dad would be on videos. Down home good stuff. It was easy to pull for you to grow and succeed. Now, you are different. Corporatized. You have more wood than you know what to do with. You try to make well finished and edited videos with a small tiny bit of firewood processing and work. Totally different. It’s your channel though. I still occasionally watch at least a video now and then. But not like in the past. That said, I wish you well!
@Back40Firewood7 ай бұрын
So just curious...when you say it was easy to pull for me to grow and succeed when I had a lawn mower...then grow to what? What would be the level of success to root for me to get to? And I'm not trying to be a smart a** here, I'm interested to know what would be the progression of growth and success? Where would I have grown to in 4 years under your rooting for my success and growth?
@markw22667 ай бұрын
I noticed the box wedge cutting off the tail of some of the rounds. I have had the same experience with my older box wedge on a 12-22. As cool as this wedge works I really don't like how it ends up flipping the split and cutting off the end. That diesel sure does purr.
@Back40Firewood7 ай бұрын
Yeah it happens when the angle of the cut on the back of the round is off and as the push block pushes through it'll end up pushing the wood down through the wedge and then eventually the split stands up and gets the end busted off. If I see it and catch in time I'll roll the round so the angle is different or flip the round around.

Meh,…keep being yourself. That’s like demanding that a celebrity or professional athlete has to respond to everything that’s ever been said about them. Or,…”Dan is kinda of a shitty guy!!! I tried to get him to come to my hometown, and show everyone how to split firewood with his 37D!! He acts like he’s too good for us!!!” This man doesn’t owe anyone anything. He is not obligated to anyone other than him and his family. Trust me when I say this,…the more “popular” one becomes,…the more demanding becomes of those outside of his inner circle.
