I felled and bucked and hauled and cut and stacked and burned firewood at my ex-GF's ranch for 4 years. It was fun at times (on non snow, rain or stormy says). Looking back, I would prefer to have had a time card and benefits now though, and I would have a lot more money in the long run on the time card. And felling and bucking and splitting and hauling and stacking and selling and driving and dumping wood is a REALLY hard living. I am very fit as a result, and maybe I added a few years to my life doing all that hard work. But still, the risk, and danger involved with felling and cutting wood??? One has to wonder. :monkey:
Cutting and selling wood is like raising sheep or growing corn. Minimal reward for a hell of a lot of very hard work. Flipping burgers is far far is easier, even with all the BS office politics and a-hole bosses and meetings and all that crap. Go home and there nothing to worry about. No chains to sharpen, ads to post, phone calls to make, or wood to load or deliver. Just watch TV and drink a beer, pass out, and get up and do it again.
