Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
I know it my sound weird, but Dink can't jump over stuff. He just can't. Perhaps he's too fat to jump.

It's always kind of bothered me how he can do nothing, as most of the obstacles would be ridicuously easy to cross in reality.

Hmmm Dink and reality doesn't seem to fit does it.

You could always imitate a jump by doing something like this:
(assuming that the player jumps north and is at y = 300)

move_stop(1,8,200,1);
set_dink_speed(2);
move_stop(1,8,150,1);
set_dink_speed(3);
move_stop(1,8,100,1);

I did something like this in one of my DMODs for a cutscene.

But this is really a scripting technique, if you want to know how Dink can jump in the normal game... He can't, gravitational forces are probably different in Dink's world, that would explain the absence of birds.

Hey, I'll have some pigeons in my DMOD.

Well I suppose gravity differs from DMOD to DMOD then...
