Back to The Barter System
Hey Steemians!
I'm headed to bed, but wanted to quickly share that I made my first transaction using firewood as currency!
As you can see by the picture I got a gently used McCulloch chain saw. This saw has a lot more power then the saw I am currently running which is much safer and will save me a lot of time on those 25-30 inch DBH (depth at breast height) massive oaks and pines.
This is pretty exciting for me, because what I got in payment will help me make more wood and in turn, help me make more trades.
I traded for the saw and a pair of Chainsaw chaps for half of a cord of split and dried wood (about 1.5 cubic meters).
Who knows, maybe I can find some hipster with a fireplace that wants to buy wood with crypto!
Here is an updated shot of the wood pile, still got a lot of work to do before winter really sets in and hoping to make some more deals too!
Have a great and safe weekend everybody!
Outstanding! Barter should be used much more than it is. You are doing things right!
Here in the country, I see it more often! I think it feels so much more fulfilling too. The wood was worth more than the saw but I really wanted the saw so we are both happy.

That's the way to do it, my friend. Looks like a good start to the woodpile.
Haha, yup! Just for to keep it up cause we are burning lots already! Thanks!

Great trade hopefully the new saw will help you turn out even more wood.

Great job sir badger! I take it many people use firewood for heating in the winter time so with your availability to wood you are sitting on a gold mine of trading wealth. Well done!
