Yep it’s always nice to be able to test things when you don’t have to invest much into it. I will be watching your video soon cutting those cedar logs open.

I can imagine that would make it easier, or at least less tiring. there’s definitely money in bundles. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment Mark. Sounds like you may have a good thing going there.

That sounds like a clever idea. Welcome to the channel, thanks for subscribing and commenting.

I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for commenting Brent.

Yeah, we offer kindling with every order. We sell it as well but people don't like to buy it in our area. The LOVE getting it for free though

I figured the cost of getting wood into the position to bundle it is built into the $300 per cord I subtracted that we would get here selling it by the cord. After that the figures are just for the bundling. But yeah people do forget to factor in a lot of things. including depreciation on vehicles, their new tractors, their new excavators etc.

@@WilsonForestLands As they used to say on a game show...Good Answer, Good Answer! 🤣

As Elvis used to say, thank you, thank you very much. I always appreciate your comments.

Maybe so but probably not with firewood. That would be a lot of bundles.

I remember the days when it was close to $100 a cord. Those of us who have a lot of wood it seems ridiculous to pay that much for a bundle. But for those who want just one evening, it makes sense to pay eight dollars or $10 for a bundle, instead of $300 for a cord they won’t use.

$100 per cord is insane. We have to sell at around $300 just to make a small amount of money where I am.

You actually get more wood per cubic feet when you split them smaller. It’s because they utilize more of the air gaps within the bundle.

Some people like smaller, some like bigger. I tend to do a bit of both in the bundles

@@ChampionFirewoodManitoba agreed.

That was a year ago, I don’t think I weighed them. I didn’t run out of the wrap I bought so didn’t figure out the exact cost per bundle. The way I was doing it, it was minimal. $40 worth of wrap produced over $2000 worth of bundles. In that area bundles are selling for 6 to 7 dollars each.

I will save that for when I am not trying to do a video at the same time. Some people have a hard time walking and chewing gum at the same time. I have a hard time talking and picking up more than one piece at the same time.

@@WilsonForestLands 😂

​@@WilsonForestLands great explanation. I'm going to borrow that one for when people ask me why I can't sing and play guitar at the same time, tho I'm good at both.

Yes, approximately 16 inch. I am not sure if you are getting notified of my replies. I sent a couple replies with a link to the tractor incident. Not sure if you got them.

I might have to have my wife help me look, keep you posted 🧡

Oops, I read that wrong. I made a whole lot more than that in six hours.

I wouldn’t do it for $3. When I made the video I was getting more than twice that.

@@WilsonForestLands : you lost me...why did you say you were getting $3 and use that figure to calculate how much you were making?

This was over a year ago I don’t remember all the details. What I do remember saying in the video is I don’t want to say how much I am getting because I didn’t want to give my customers wholesale pricing away. But I did allude that it was in the range of the $6 I was doing a lot of the calculations in the video for. I believe I was also giving different examples of how much you would make at for example $3.

@@WilsonForestLands :you need to go back and watch your own video...

I just watched it. I started out saying “IF”you were getting $3 per bundle that would mean I made a certain amount. I did not say I was getting $3 per bundle. I said “IF” not “I AM”. Right after that I said “around here they give considerably more than that” Then I said I don’t want to tell the price that I’m getting because I want to keep my customers business private. Then I started talking about how much someone would make if they were getting $6 a bundle. And started going on and on about how in this area we are on the high end because firewood is expensive here. Nowhere in this video did I say I get $3 per bundle or even say how much I get per bundle. What I did do in this video is compare what someone would make if they were getting $3 per bundle versus what they would get if they were making $6 per bundle. These are hypothetical numbers.

I wouldn’t bother at only $3. I would need it to be twice that for me to want to do it but I know others do it for 3.

Not sure what neighbor you are referring to or what you are saying.
