Should you work for free?

This is the one that gets me. I love chain sawing, felling, and bucking trees. I learned to do it because I need lots of split wood for my art (wood fired ceramics.) But it’s still hard physical work. And taking down a tree, and making it into fire wood is expensive, people charge a lot of money to take down a tree. Yet, my friends think nothing of having me do it and expect me to cheerfully do it for free for them. I don’t mind a trade, I’ll fell the trees near your cabin in exchange for free stays at your cabin say.
