The Firewood Hobbyist

🔥 Welcome to The Firewood Hobbyist – real firewood, chainsaw, and forestry work in the Finnish outdoors.

I’m not a pro — just a hobbyist using chainsaws, firewood processors, ATVs, tractors, and splitting machines.

I don’t post too often — my firewood hobby takes me far from home — but every video shows real work and gear out in the Finnish countryside.

📹 You’ll see:
🪓 Safe tree felling with wedges, winches, and tree jacks
🪵 Firewood drying and stacking techniques
🪚 Chainsaw use & maintenance (Stihl MS261, Echo CS-4920, CS-2511, etc.)
🔧 Milwaukee M18 tools in outdoor tasks
🌲 Hauling, splitting & working in the woods

It’s all about working with wood, enjoying nature, and getting firewood ready for winter the simple way.

Let’s get the firewood stacked and the fire going! 🔥
