Full Yard Hustle! Splitting Oak & Truck Loaded for Delivery 🪵

Full production day on the firewood yard!
Just finished bucking up a pile of big oak rounds, got Jake working the hydraulic splitter to keep filling the IBC tote cages, Bell holding down security by the truck, and the F-250 bed loaded up and strapped for the next run.
Nothing beats good help, reliable equipment, and moving seasoned hardwood.

STIHL MS 660 Magnum Cold Start! (Part 3 of 3) 🪵
Part 3 of 3: The moment of truth!
Testing the cold start on the Stihl MS 660 Magnum after sitting untouched for years. Did the 271 trade pay off, or do we have carb work to do?
Check Parts 1 & 2 on the channel if you missed the backstory!

Traded for a 92cc STIHL MS 660! (Part 2 of 3) 🪵

Part 2 of 3!
Following up on the trade: my MS 362 has been the daily workhorse on the yard, but we just brought home this 91.6cc Stihl MS 660 Magnum to handle the massive 40"+ oak rounds.
Traded a 271 for this beast, but it’s been sitting for a few years without running.
Cold start test dropping in Part 3!

Traded my Stihl MS 271 to a buddy and brought home this legend: a Stihl MS 660 Magnum (91.6cc)!
My MS 362 has been the daily workhorse on the yard, but when we get into those 36" to 50" red and white oak rounds, this 660 is going to change the game.
Only catch: it’s been sitting for a few years without running.
Cold start test coming in Part 2!

Can You Fit 3 Firewood Baskets in an 8ft Bed?! 🪵

Testing out the new XL Load for Spartan Firewood!
We now officially run two delivery tiers:
• Standard Load (1/3 Cord)
• XL Load (True 1/2 Cord)
Tested packing 3 full IBC tote baskets—a true 1/2 cord of seasoned oak—straight into the 8-foot F-250 bed over the unloader mat. It fits, but with this much wood mounded up, a heavy-duty cargo net is definitely mandatory before hitting the road.
First drop of the day is rolling out!

Star-Crossed Lovers | Raw Original on a 20-Year-Old Classical Guitar

Wrote this song about the reality of two broken people trying to love each other in a fallen world. Running the full version through on my 20-year-old classical guitar with fresh nylon strings.

"Star-crossed lovers on a broken path... and only Jesus can make it last."

Performed live, one take.

Waste Some Time (Original Song) | Live from the Wood Yard

Taking a breather out in the log yard to work through a new tune on this 20-year-old classical guitar. Dust on the boots, oak logs in the background, and some thoughts on paper.

"A truck ride on a Friday night, a slow dance in the pouring rain... why can't we just waste some time?"

Let me know what you think of this chorus.
