    Around 800 give or take....16" splits. If I don't have a half cord "measured" stack I'll count the splits and 400 is roughly a half. I've actually counted how many come from a measured half. :loco: :crazy: Only an OCD wood hoarder would understand!:picard:

    I split my bundle wood on the smaller side but still 16" long. I get roughly 175 8x8" size bundles from a cord split that size.

    I've never counted splits; just stack them and then burn them.

    Funny I did; mostly because of you.. so I could figure out cord; than time to make 1; them figure yearly use to Figure out the 3 year plan.

    Number 750 for me

    But at 12 cord year, plan is 36 cord … with kids too young to help with work wife kids life that was numerically impossible in snow for me :sherlock:

    Hard to explain that on forum.. Dennis you know me and know the longest hike starts with a single step. easier if you know how many steps journey is. Then math it will take 6 months w/o sleep food etc.. what to do take a bicycle. Ie more insulation, better stove, efficiency better tools etc.:handshake:

    That's the reason those pics of "loaded" trucks are never full.

    Never counted
    I know how much fits in the skid steer bucket I know what 4 fc looks like in a 7x14 dump trailer and I know what 5fc looks like in the same trailer
    There are to many variables to have a set number
    Like the splits would have to be all the same diameter and so on
