I watch a lot of foresters/loggers/tree guys on YouTube. I have watched Wilson Forest Lands quite a bit recently, and have been following him for a while. It seems that he does a good amount of logging and milling to support himself, and does more firewood when the market slows down. I am sure he does some other forest endeavors as well. Is this something truly feasible to live off of? Let's say I have enough capital to buy a sizeable forest property and some beginner equipment, is it feasible to truly make a living off of logging/firewood/milling like Wilson does, or is that a pretty rare situation. I am also in Upstate NY, so much different forests than the PNW. I am a forestry student currently in college, and just looking into future paths related to my field. I would love to know any experiences or story's you guys know off that are similar to Wilson Forest Lands way of living! Thanks alot
