I like to pride myself in being a resourceful type of person. I know what Google is and I even have my very own library card. However, I cannot for the life of me find the information I need. All the information I can find either deals with the logging industry(big crews and machines), or that Lumberjack Sport type stuff. So, on my knees with my head hung in shame, I submit my query to you kind people.
Here is the information I am looking for: I want to know about the solitary person who goes out into the forest to chop firewood. You know, the type of person who might do this and sell the wood to others to supplement their income.
How much wood could a single person accumulate in a day? What is their daily work schedule like (i.e. how many hours do they put in, etc.)? What is the going rate for firewood and what kind of quantity are we talking about for an individual sale? When are the best times to chop wood(Summer, Fall)? How much wood would a person need to chop and sell to make enough to feed themselves and a teenager? And anything else anyone can add that I haven't thought of.
I appreciate any info you guys can give me. Even if you just point me toward a book or website, that works too. Thanks in advance.
