This young guy was new to the business so i had to give him a math lesson before the 3rd and 4th cords came. He was using 1.4 as a length multiplier for my wood and i corrected him and said a 16” log was only 1.33 feet. I was gentle with the boy/man 18 years old and he did finally figure it out, but I doubt he would have changed his multiplier if I hadn’t challenged him and proved in a primitive way ( the only way that he could understand) that 16” wood was a decimal equivalent of 1.33. He did thank me and told me he was slow at math, but his partner and father were using the same decimal equivalents to measure their deliveries.
Imagine how many poor bastards are getting ripped off?
What a man ! : "1.33" is not the same as "1.4" . Can you believe the nerve of this "boy/man" ? Wow. Gee, the gray matter is falling all over the place.
Logging 101 (non-controversial)
1. Get to tree with full gear, fuel, training, sweat.
2. Skillfully fell tree.
3. Limb, buck, clear brush, load butts, or skid logs.
4. Split and stack, or pile.
5. Load firewood on vehicle, use fossil fuel, unload.
Now, who is "cheating" who here ? And why are all these firewood sellers going to "short" you, or lie about "seasoned wood" ?
Would all of you victims please raise your hands if you have ever harvested one tree --that's stump to stove girls ?
Do you really mean that 1.33 is not 1.4 ? Wow. ...and the boy/man thanked you ? Wow. Those "poor ripped off bastards".
