Chopping Wood-Workout and Market Size

Ok not everything needs to be particularly that serious. Today I was chopping wood because I have a fireplace that I like to keep going during the colder months. Most of the time the wood comes larger then my ideal size. Personally, I like to chop thinner because of the nice flame and the ability to control the fire. i.e. if I don't feed it for 30 minutes its just about done.

Anways, I was thinking of some benefits of chopping wood as part of a fitness routine. I can burn somewhere around 150 calories in about 15 minutes. That isn't that bad if your taking a work break and decide to get some wood cut.

The other thing I thought of while I was doing some wood cutting meditation. Ok seriously, it is like meditation when you have some music in your ear and your chopping away. Nice and cook out today. The size of the global wood market is around $900 million and is expected to grow (probably not that great for the environment. I woud like more trees planted). Global firewood market.

A thought came to my mind. If I enjoyed chopping wood I could actually get paid for chopping wood into smaller pieces and charging a mark up. Great for cooking and small fires. Ok...Im seriousl not that motivated but is for some weird reason I chop too much firewood I guess I could sell the extra. Not quite a lumber jack but you get the point! Life is like that around here.
