I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Are there expected behaviors in the woodyard? Are there actions taboo to the culture and character of firewood production? Does it even matter in the heat of summer? Dan and Joe do their best to figure it out in today's episode. Please help the Wood Hounds Podcast by giving us a 5 star review.

Dan and Joe discuss a cruel reality of the firewood industry. WAYYY too many people, customers and producers, seem to have a lackadaisical attitude about accuracy of quantities. Is there any other product in the world that is routinely purchased where the actual quantity is usually wrong?!
Our two favorite Wood Hounds, Dan and Joe discuss the coming spring and the realization that not all is great when warm weather returns. It seems there is a delicate balance between working outside and avoiding sun exposure.

Dan and Joe recap their interview with Leroy Hite, the founder and former owner of Cutting Edge Firewood.

Dan and Joe spend the episode discussing farmers' markets and farmers' roadside stands. It seems a farmer can capitalize on their local status and charge a premium for their product. Shouldn't a firewooder be able to do the same? Hmm....
Is firewood a low end commodity? Can value be added to it? Why do so many people avoid "wasting" their time doing anything with firewood other than dumping it on the ground. And why is it that firewood production must NEVER include the use of your tractor? Hmm... seems odd but is it true?
Dan and Joe have noticed how the warm, fall weather has put them behind in their firewood gathering for the upcoming winter. It seems their motivation comes with a shot of cold air but that has yet to happen this season.

Today the dynamic duo discuss a new product that Dan created and is now selling on the internet...Mini Firewood. If you haven't noticed there is a growing trend in mini fire pits that are small enough to sit on a table top. These new fire pits are a big hit by apartment dwellers and city folk looking for a wood burning experience but cannot have a large open fire. Dan saw this as an opportunity to bring a new product to market and, with it, demonstrates how creative thinking can bring new opportunities to an old industry. Here is Dan's website for mini firewood. www.back40minifirewood.com…
