I compared a thrown load to a stacked load on a pick up

I made a video comparing a stacked load to a thrown load.

 

So much time involved in stacking it in your truck..thanks for the video

 

Nice video. But why is the title backwards?

 

I watched your video the other day. Lays that question to rest pretty well.

He has a YouTube channel. He makes videos for views. Stuff that he thinks people would like to click on and watch.

I've always used a 1.3 multiplier for thrown wood, or 160 to 170 cu ft for a cord vs 128. Pile/truck bed, whatever. Close enough, but I'm not buying or selling.
Stacking in the bed of a truck is how I came up with my 1.3 multiplier for volume. It only took a few minutes.
Stacking a dumped load is how I came up with how much I was getting tossed loose into a bigger truck. Not that it mattered I just wanted to know what it was costing me per mile to move it round trip.

 

If you were to keep tossing more on until you felt they'd fall off going over a bump, vs stacking to the top of the cab and strapping the stacks down, you'll get double the amount stacked vs thrown in. Done it and measured the stacks a few times from my truck to the garage.

 

Your welocme!

I titled it that to get people to watch.

I never knew if the 180cuft for a thrown cord was accurate, and I had never seen any test it, so I thought it would make a good video.

Thanks!

That is intersting, depending on what state, they recognize anywhere from 170 to 180cuft for a thrown cord.

 

Don't really think there was doubt in anyone's mind that a stacked PU load holds more firewood than a thrown in PU load. Though I was wondering about the reversal of the title (and the amount of excess time on his hands also!)

But......………. now there is an exact answer to the question!


I just wonder if the wood was split horizontal or vertical if that would have made any difference in the amounts?????

 

Great video, thanks for making it, very relaxing to watch and listen too. You did a good job of explaining what you were doing. makes me want to get out and cut some wood, my wood permit is good till the 1st of the month.

 

I have an F250 with a 6'-9" bed "short bed". When I bought some wood last spring, I estimated that I had a half cord on the truck each time. However, I was stacking most of it, and piling it on top until it was in danger of falling off. So, a heaping pile, not level with the truck bed. I think your video answers any questions about just what volume a pickup truck load of wood is.

 

You got the title bassakwards.

 

Clickbait.

 

Nice video, but yeah, I sure thought that original title was backwards with what the video presented. Thanks, good thread.

 

You must not watch much YouTube? Haha

If I had all the hours back for watching videos with miss leading titles or titles that basically had little to nothing to do with the video I watched or just were totally made up with content of actual video.
