How I Heating A Off-Grid Cabin With A Big Saw?

In this video, I show how I heat an off-grid cabin with a four-foot crosscut saw. I picked up the saw from a flea market years ago and learned how to restore it. The saw is quiet, doesn't need gas, and is much lighter than a chainsaw. However, it is slower than a gas-powered saw. If I get tired while using it, I can easily stop for a quick break. Once the firewood is bucked to length, I use my sled to haul it to the cabin. All the wood is within a hundred feet of the cabin, but it's all located on a steep icy hill. I try to cut firewood during the fall when the weather is cooler, and I also enjoy firewood duty in the winter as well. I figured I have cut over one cord of wood by hand, which I am very pleased with considering. This video follows the creator as they cut and prepare over one cord of firewood for their off-grid cabin during an average winter, where temperatures dropped to -37°C (0:11). All the firewood is processed by hand using a restored 4ft crosscut saw (0:20), which the creator prefers because it is quiet, lightweight, and allows for quick breaks compared to a chainsaw (0:22). Key Highlights: Preparation Schedule: Firewood duty begins around September to avoid bugs and take advantage of cooler temperatures (0:30-1:36). Wood Stove Management: The creator uses a homemade stove made from salvaged materials (0:25). To conserve wood, they burn poplar during the day and use denser spruce and birch at night (3:00-3:04). Challenging Conditions: Wood is hauled via sled up a steep, icy hill (1:20-1:27). The creator continues to work even in heavy snow, high winds, and wind chills reaching -44°C (5:42-5:51). Strategic Tree Felling: For trees further away, the creator notches them to fall safely during high winds when they are not at the cabin (6:47-7:15).
