I'm getting ready to cut my own lumber from trees

I should hope so as it would be peculiar to make lumber from
anything else...

and I want to use the
lumber for an outside project. What can I do to make the lumber
survive outside? Can I make my own treated lumber?

Farmers have been doing it for their fenceposts for centuries.
Of course they planned ahead and planted rot-resistant wood
like black locust or osage orange.
