Im a Husqvarna guy myself but couldnt agree more that any saw that works for you that runs and is sharp is a good saw. Same with trucks. Focus on our common interest instead of how we are different.
You know Chris, what you were saying about people ripping on others for their brand choices was spot on! After all, if we all liked the same things, we'd all want to marry the same woman!!!
I also enjoyed seeing the giant ash find a useful end. I've taken out several dead ash trees from my property. I love the burn. It's just a heart breaker to see all of the amazing timber succumb to the E.A. Borer
That's why they call it processing. It's a process. My favorite part is out hunting for free wood. My least favorite part is stacking. As a home burner, you are correct, the payoff on the investment is the burning. It's always fun to come by a particular piece that I remember splitting, or I remember where the wood came from.
Chris, I have learned a ton from you and others in the community. Thanks for allowing us into your world. By the way, I was the guy who sent you a slow motion sneeze video, also some tree dropping. Thanks again.
Covid made me discover UA-cam and your channel. Now I watch several woodhound channels. I live in Maine and have burned wood for heat for many years. Now I'm old and in the way still burning wood. Your narration is nice for the nimrods and I like hearing your point of view. Watch your topknot
Very good Chris I totally agree with you, there are some good firewood toys as I call them. The companies that make things for firewood keep new ideas coming because that makes them money. I think the least amount of toys you have they don't get in the way and it is cheaper. I am 71 and I don't sell firewood. I have a boiler,2 chainsaws, 2 pickaroons ,and a glacier splitter because that's how I move and a skid steer. To me that is all I need. Keep it up because I watch you every day. Merry Christmas to you and your wife and all of your wood crew, stay safe.
Hi Chris, Love the variety, keep the videos coming! Thanks for the hard work filming and producing every day. As my buddies and I say...don't let the old man in. Keep up the great work my friend.
Good Morning Chris and all the wood yard. Is is so wet here this morning we have flood warnings for the Soco river here in Conway New Hampshire Crazy weather so far this year. 🎄🦌🪵🔥
I love this format because it's informative and I can enjoy the sawing without the screaming noise that I hate on all tree working, camping, survivalist, wilderness shows. I need a 10vsecond warning so I can turn my sound off when metal hits wood and also the flashy lights when I watch welding videos. Thank you. More of this, please! ❤ And PLEASE never risk your body's natural limits. NOT worth it! Ask me how I know. Nvm😂. Merry Christmas to you and all of your loved ones.
Chris, just keep doing what you want to do. I truly do enjoy watching all of your videos. They bring back memories of my wood cutting days. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
Loved the video learned all this from u along time ago the ripping especially has made my wood cutting and spliting much much easyer thank you for all ur knoledge
Them big pieces gave you a good workout go home relax have a drink sit around the fire and enjoy your hard work you work pretty fast just take it easy my friend
Good job Chris. You & I live in the same firewood world, but at totally different levels. Even though I've probably cut firewood 12 or 13 years longer than you have, I've still learned a lot from watching your videos. I use antiquated methods and equipment most of the time because I just enjoy doing it and am fortunate to be healthy enough at age 74 to continue the woodyard gym instead of walking in circles at the mall. Reading the grain while splitting some of those noodle blocks might make an interesting video if it suits your fancy. I don't know if I've ever seen one on UA-cam. GNI
I’m with you on the whole walking around the mall thing. After having a heart attack two years ago, and doing a bunch of walking, exercising and eating real food now, once it starts getting cooler, I can’t stop with the firewood. It’s an obsession! I’m only 59 but hoping I’m still cutting and selling in my 80’s. This is my first year actually selling as a side hustle💪
Nice job Chris. A lot of good insight into why we do what we do. I've done this a few thousand times over the last 35 years! Like you, I rip with a regular chain. I have 5 model 372's all with 20 in. bars. I also have a 390 XP with a 32 in. for large diameter logs. But because ripping will tend to dull the chain a little more quickly, and since I mostly cut 16 inch lengths also, to keep my edge longer on the 32 inch, I rip only with the 372's 20 in, which reaches across the log length with some to spare. I also keep several extra sharp chains in the truck. When I get dull, I switch out in a minute. I'm not hand filling in 10 degree weather. I have two Oregon bench grinders at the shop, one set up for the cutter, the other set up at 90 degrees to touch the raker if it needs it. By the way, I love my Haix - I bet your feet are warm! And when it's this cold, I keep my bar oil up on the passenger floor board in front of the heater. Pours out smooth! Great score, great work!
Thank you for the entertaining narrative. I'm 65 born and raised a city girl until 15 years ago. I've learned from the ground up. Backing a trailer, mixing 2 stroke fuel, using non ethanol gas. You reinforce so many things I've learned by the seat of my pants. I have better luck with electric equipment and recently purchased an ezzdoo chain sharpener and a 9 ton electric splitter. The ash borer is now here in Missouri and I heat with wood. Easy peazy compared to splitting with a wedge and sledgehammer. I started buying echo gas powered chainsaws because the huskys were expensive when I had to have it serviced for what i now know is basic care. You verbalize so many things that aren't common sense when you don't grow up with it. You have an easygoing calm manner that is not only informative but soothing. I love the woods and am glad my second half will be so much more outdoors than the first. Thank you. Subscribed
Hi Chris, thanks for the best logging commentary I have found on UA-cam. I am a retired professional Forest Officer in Scotland with 58 years of firewood logging experience (and a lot of highly skilled felling) behind me. Your commentary is the most sensible, “wood-wise” and realistic I have encountered. You have a great, clear voice and good pace of speaking, great use of language, no wasted words. Doing it without the chainsaw noise is very effective; quartering the big rounds and cutting them to half lengths is something I have also come to in more recent years as I have aged, in order to avoid strain and extend my logging life. Love your cable tie measuring device and will adopt it immediately, my best solution to date was a 10ft measuring stick with pre-measuring and marking with a light saw cut (developed as much of my wood has been delivered in 10ft lengths, a 25 ton load about every 3 years). Congratulations on a lifetime of skills well-passed on to others. Keep dodging that second hernia!
Ash tends to get punky pretty quick. I split the good wood out and the stuff that is a little punky I burn at my burn pit. I will use some of it if its not to bad in my garage too. I had a few ash I took down around Nov last year and I had it all piled up next to my splitter and didn't get it split till this spring and a 1/3rd or better went to my burn pit. There was no punk at all when I cut it down 5 months or so earlier. It was sitting on pallets and all didn't really matter got punky. I have a handful that blow down every winter too and by the time I get it cut up usually a lot of it is punky when it only fell down a few months earlier. I cut up some ironwood that had blown down years ago and it was all completely solid but ash you can't let it sit need to get it cut and out of there real quick after it comes down or you loose a bunch of firewood
Your new woodyard with work benches, shelves, some cabinets. Wonderful 😊. I have learned so much since I found your channel. I’m making storage bins from pallets, like yours, no stacking. Last month I answered an ad on marketplace and removed a 42” fallen oak tree. Which immediately led to their neighbors asking me to remove a fallen walnut tree. Keep making a variety of videos. I’m sure you got more to teach me. 🤩👍
Free wood is good. And running the saws is good. That’s a big saw. I like the variety of videos too. Very interesting. Learning how you do it. That saw really ripped it good. My biggest saw I have is a 046 stihl. That’s all I want to handle. I like to see all the different stuff you do. And different equipment u use. Thankyou for the videos. The punky edge helps get the wood burning especially when it’s dry.
Ah the joy of cutting yuge logs that are much bigger than your bar. Fun times! Often, I end up ripping it in place- because I can't get all the way through, or don't want to eat dirt- and then using the X27 to pop em apart. Or a sledge n wedge. Sometimes I have to rip several parallel cuts, and more or less split it in place, lol. Going from the outside in until I can get to that wood that I couldn't reach. But darnit- it's great wood and I'm not leaving it there to rot. I, too police the area as I go. Nothing is more irritating than tripping and stumbling over obstacles I put in my own damn way... And it makes it easy to see your progress. I'll often do ALL my splitting right there- both to give my back a break from the cutting and lifting- and also it leaves the mess THERE, and not in my yard!
Chris. A top video explains everything for patrons to understand the things you do. It’s your way that may not suit everybody. Chris and family have a great Christmas. Cheers Baz from Tasmania
I like the narrative. Some people I follow can't work and talk at the same time. I feel like it's fluff! lol I worked in the masonry business my whole life, going to work with my dad from the time I was very very young. I was one of his Hod Carriers till I started laying brick when I was a Junior or Senior. I can feel it when people talk about working hard like you are doing. I was had a Husqvarna until loaned it out and the guy moved. It was 20+ years old. It was the best saw I ever used. We'll see if you hate on me now. I ve been looking around for a saw to cut half a dozen trees out of my fence line and one that if the wind gets it, it will smash my out building. I have decided, based on price a Proyama 62 cc with a 20 and 22 inch bar! I bout a Chinese power washer off eBay for $150 3500 psi and 4 gpm maybe 20 years ago and it's still going. The Japenese make the best cars and motorcycles, so we'll see. I'll let you know if it's a fail! Keep cutting, splitting, tractoring and all the above. Looks great to me!
Thanks Chris,i liked the way you did the video, i got my 592 after watching you couple years ago there great saws lil heavy after long day.lol thanks for my personal video
Nice load of wood. That’s how I get almost all my wood. I need find some tree guys that bring me wood. It definitely good experience going and getting it. Keep up the good work.
Great video. New subscriber from Manitoba, I will be watching more of your videos. My wife and I cut, split, and stack about 2 full cords every year. I have two gas powered saws and one 60 volt DeWalt cordless electric saw, all 16 inch bars. Don't laugh-- I prefer the cordless saw. No tuning, no gas to mix, very quiet. We cut jack pine and poplar, usually less than 16" diameter. I can knock down the trees, cut into lengths and come home with one full (bush) cord using 5 batteries. But I always have a gas powered saw with me for backup.
Augh the hernia time, lived with mine for 20+ years, Always used the flip it on another block and onto the trailer method. One thing is a tank of gas is file time 3 strokes per tooth and 500 ml of water to your body replacement time. Looks like asbestos tiles on the house
Super interesting. A lot of economy of motion there. Totally agree on moving up 20cc on saws being a game changer. Looks like a great score on the free wood!
Chris I know that's how I got hernia and torn scrotum..those rounds are 350 to 600 pounds .I take trees down fir living and have zero machines .have climb cut and rope and pull trees over then roll or lift on to trailer I actually got hurt rolling a round that wasn't so round .people don't understand the work involved .most fire wood guys have machined that do there work..they haven't done physical labor as we have .I've done it 30 years .body is broken .add to that bad health choices and hard living as younger man.mostly from bad relationships in my generation..Praise God..stay safe
Yes I like the voice over. Last year I bought a 82cc homelite 925 and did that make a difference cutting the crouches and the butt ends. Great for ripping. Thanks for the info.
I am watching this and thinking. Just think when we was kids we had to do all that work with a two man buck saw. We was so poor we only used old cutting and splitting tools. Wasn't until I was 12 years old working for a neighbor 2 miles down the road that I was able to use a chain saw his 4X4 truck. I told my neighbor how we have been cutting trees down cutting them up and splitting them. The neighbor thought I was so full of it and said you know I would love to see you guys working one day. I said well come over on Saturday morning. That Saturday he did just that and saw my family out working in the woods with really old tools. Dad was talking to him as he calls me over to sharpen the two man Buck saw. My neighbor told me dad you do know you are using tools that they use to use in the 19 20's and 30's Dad said it gets the job done and that is what matters. We would drag logs out of the woods some times a mile to out house by hand. Most people would never believe how we had to work just to keep heat in our house to stay warm in Maine.
@@InTheWoodyard When I was 12 one of my brothers and I use to climb widow makers to make them fall. We would climb to the top and jump up and down on them till they started to fall and just before they hit the ground we would jump off the tree and roll. Only my brother and I did this the rest of the family wouldn't. Now for the record knowing later on in life I would have never done it but back then we knew the tree had to come down so we did what we though was needed. On a side note most of the time we did this when there was at least 3 feet of snow on the ground on a side note we had no idea what was under the snow.
Amazing story that is the way u had to do it but what ever works the man probably didn't believe it even after seeing it hard working people earned a lot of respect from a lot of people thanks for posting and letting us know how you did it when you where a kid @@InTheWoodyard
I like the variety of content Chris, keep doing you! I started selling firewood last March/ April and I've adopted your motto of do a little bit everyday. It's helped. Stay busy!
Chris it’s good to see you having fun making man glitter. Yes big rounds are hard to handle. But I love getting into them with the saw. Keep on cutting
Chris, been a subscriber for a while, I remember when I bought my “glacier” the old County Line 22 ton, which I still have and use, was about the same time I found your channel. I have always enjoyed your channel and how down to earth you are and truly appreciate all the hard work that you do to make a daily video. Awesome to see you made it over 50k subs, I think I found your channel in the 8k subscriber range. Keep the great videos coming. GNI 👍🏻
Great video Chris. Covered all the bases. Making sure you have all the necessary equipment. Keeping the cutting area clear, (a twisted ankle is the least of concerns when bucking felled wood), quartering big rounds. Most important if you’re working by yourself 2-3 tanks of fuel is a great limit. Working big saws is big work, the repetitive cuts are a foundation for a mistake. Plus we ain’t getting any younger. Buddy you don’t need those zip ties, with your talent an experience you can see 16” give or take from a hundred yards away.
That Green Ash that's just starting to turn will dry insanely fast. I cut a big round -last week- and noticed one side was a touch iffy. I've been burning pieces of that round the last two days!!! The greener portions- where the wood is still whitish, takes a little longer- but not that much. This log has been cut for nearly 18 months, most bark is still on, and aside from the old cut ends, looks like it is fresh cut inside. I believe the slightly punky parts were likely there when it came down. (blowdown in a storm) Your recreational customers will love it- it burns really nice! That mixed with silver or red maple makes a great mix. Now that I again have 2 sharp chains, the rest of the 2 bigguns are calling my name! I'm out of stacking room, so I'll likely just quarter them like you did- they'll be on hand, ready to split, once I put a good dent in my supply, lol.
Before a person runs out and buys a 592 make sure you're in good shape. It makes my back hurt watching. A 555 is what I use but I'm just cutting for myself. Chris is a badass.
Great video. I just bought a neo-tech ns 8105 a clone of the Stihl 070, it's very heavy and vibrates a lot,it has a 36" bar and for some crazy reason I love it. Chain speed is not very fast but it grunts it's way through wood.
Great video! I admit , I miss you working with your chainsaws, but I get it why they are few and far between. I also enjoy your voice over, I pick up things I would miss without the voice over. Thks again for the entertainment this morning.
Thank for highlighting the time it takes for editing. Although we like to watch you work.., what actually makes the viewer enjoy it is the different camera angles and the variety of wood and the different methods of dealing with problems. 2 hours of the same thing would be redundant and turns eyes away.
Chris, keep doing what you are doing. You are running a wood yard. Part of a woodyard is cutting, splitting and felling. Anyone who is critical of another's choice of saw or truck or beer or whiskey or whatever clearly is lacking something in themselves. You do you and I'll do me. Saying that though my Ram would have pulled that trailer over the stump in two-wheel drive in neutral...LOL
A Tundra or Tacoma will pull through most tough traction situations with ease by engaging 4WD. No spinning or ripping tires apart. If there is doubt, put it in 4x4 .😊

We have 6 cats that live in the house. We have stray cays out side so we feed lots of cats as you do. So happy for you to get free wood. God bless.
Thanks...we currently have 13 in the barn now!
You can’t please everyone so you might as well please yourself.
Don’t dwell or apologize . You are Awesome!! Keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you, I will!
Anybody that has cut enough firewood will agree w/your strategy & coaching in this video. Very good video. Take care Chris
Thanks!!
I like the explanation and voice over. The change in videos is refreshing
Awesome, thank you!
Chris, keep doing what you are doing. I like all the different things
Thanks JIM!
I’ve got no complaints of your videos! You’re an excellent teacher! I’m jealous of all that ash you got!
Thanks for posting!
Awesome! Thank you! Lots more free ash to come!
I Wanna see the kittens! LOL. Who wouldn't love the variety!
Thanks!
That's my kind of viedo ! Nice job .
I understand the problem of pleasing everyone .

I will do it again!
All you do is entertaining to watch. Like the mixing of the video's.👍
Thanks!
I really enjoy the voice over videos. Keep up the variety of work.
Thanks I will do more!

Just keep doing what you want to do. I like the variety of the woodyard work, and I look forward to the next video, so don't change. Merry Christmas.
Thanks!
Very nice show keep up the good work Chris
Chris people in hell want ice water too..lol your content is Perfect I watch everyday
I will remember to take some along when I go. (ice water)
Thanks!
Awesome video never hurts to teach an old dog a new trick or remind me I'm older now I have to be careful
Thanks!
I like you describing and explaining things instead of the saw running all the time. I enjoyed todays video. keep up the good work!
Thanks I will do more!
Loved the voice over😊

Easy video to watch, I do prefer the voice over rather than hearing a chainsaw grind...Your system really looks like it works, Good job 🎄🎄🍫🍫🍫

Many thanks, great to watch a professional, commentary great too. Flowing speech without the ums and ahrs ! Experience is key.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time commenting. I enjoy the voice overs. More engaging and more compelling to listen to.
Thanks so much!

Ah the joy of cutting yuge logs that are much bigger than your bar. Fun times! Often, I end up ripping it in place- because I can't get all the way through, or don't want to eat dirt- and then using the X27 to pop em apart. Or a sledge n wedge.
Sometimes I have to rip several parallel cuts, and more or less split it in place, lol. Going from the outside in until I can get to that wood that I couldn't reach. But darnit- it's great wood and I'm not leaving it there to rot.
I, too police the area as I go. Nothing is more irritating than tripping and stumbling over obstacles I put in my own damn way... And it makes it easy to see your progress. I'll often do ALL my splitting right there- both to give my back a break from the cutting and lifting- and also it leaves the mess THERE, and not in my yard!
Great strategy! One day I hope to have a huge yule log in a fireplace❤.
Thanks!
Yup, all good work!
Chris. A top video explains everything for patrons to understand the things you do. It’s your way that may not suit everybody. Chris and family have a great Christmas. Cheers Baz from Tasmania
Thanks a bunch Barry!
I like the narrative. Some people I follow can't work and talk at the same time. I feel like it's fluff! lol
I worked in the masonry business my whole life, going to work with my dad from the time I was very very young. I was one of his Hod Carriers till I started laying brick when I was a Junior or Senior. I can feel it when people talk about working hard like you are doing.
I was had a Husqvarna until loaned it out and the guy moved. It was 20+ years old. It was the best saw I ever used. We'll see if you hate on me now. I ve been looking around for a saw to cut half a dozen trees out of my fence line and one that if the wind gets it, it will smash my out building. I have decided, based on price a Proyama 62 cc with a 20 and 22 inch bar! I bout a Chinese power washer off eBay for $150 3500 psi and 4 gpm maybe 20 years ago and it's still going.
The Japenese make the best cars and motorcycles, so we'll see. I'll let you know if it's a fail! Keep cutting, splitting, tractoring and all the above. Looks great to me!
Thanks for watching! Just keep cuttin'!
Hey Chris. I loved the narration while you were cutting. Very interesting and entertaining. Again you’re a good worker. Thanks for sharing. Craig Pa.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the 'after thought' commenting on your 'work'!!!
Thanks I will do it more!
Thanks Chris,i liked the way you did the video, i got my 592 after watching you couple years ago there great saws lil heavy after long day.lol thanks for my personal video
Great to hear!
Fun video that day seeing the saws out having fun! Nice work that day! 🔥💯👍. Andrew from NB :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Chris good to see you cutting I to like to see you cutting trees
Hello, thanks, lots more to come!
Nice load of wood. That’s how I get almost all my wood. I need find some tree guys that bring me wood. It definitely good experience going and getting it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍
I enjoy the videos, whatever you create , I learn and take away something.
Cheers
Thanks Mark!
Found another one Chris really a good one here you earned your money on this one my friend take care and be safe
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great video today. Your videos are high quality, makes a difference. Keep doing what you been doing, it works.👍
Thanks!!
The only good thing about th ash borer is plenty of wood. I like the variety of videos. Great work.
Yup, lots of wood...for now. soon it will all be gone!
Hey Chris, it’s great to see you cutting again. Enjoy all the information you can give . Love the variety!
Hey, thanks!
I like the voice overs as it provides information and I learn new techniques.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy the voice overs like this, very interesting and like to listen to your expertise
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video. New subscriber from Manitoba, I will be watching more of your videos. My wife and I cut, split, and stack about 2 full cords every year. I have two gas powered saws and one 60 volt DeWalt cordless electric saw, all 16 inch bars. Don't laugh-- I prefer the cordless saw. No tuning, no gas to mix, very quiet. We cut jack pine and poplar, usually less than 16" diameter. I can knock down the trees, cut into lengths and come home with one full (bush) cord using 5 batteries. But I always have a gas powered saw with me for backup.
That is awesome, just keep cuttin' and making wood the way that works for you! You only have 1327 videos to go and a new one every morning!!
Augh the hernia time, lived with mine for 20+ years, Always used the flip it on another block and onto the trailer method. One thing is a tank of gas is file time 3 strokes per tooth and 500 ml of water to your body replacement time. Looks like asbestos tiles on the house
Yup, you gotta take care of the old carcass!
really enjoyed this. I liked the voice over format. My wife appreciated not listening to the saw grind away while I was watching. Ha!
Thank you very much!
I mostly listen to u tube while working and the commentary instead of just hearing saws rip is great.
Thanks, I will do more!
I like watching it all Chris. Every day I watch.
Thanks Matthew!!
Very interesting show lots of informative info.
I purchased one of the vises your selling what a big difference that has made fantastic
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!!
Awesome video Chris, you cut, split whatever you need to do. Happy to watch all of it eager to learn. And I have learned a lot, stay safe!
Thanks Mr. Chippy!
Super interesting. A lot of economy of motion there. Totally agree on moving up 20cc on saws being a game changer. Looks like a great score on the free wood!
Yup, thanks!
Chris I know that's how I got hernia and torn scrotum..those rounds are 350 to 600 pounds .I take trees down fir living and have zero machines .have climb cut and rope and pull trees over then roll or lift on to trailer I actually got hurt rolling a round that wasn't so round .people don't understand the work involved .most fire wood guys have machined that do there work..they haven't done physical labor as we have .I've done it 30 years .body is broken .add to that bad health choices and hard living as younger man.mostly from bad relationships in my generation..Praise God..stay safe
Yup, machines save the body!
Yes I like the voice over. Last year I bought a 82cc homelite 925 and did that make a difference cutting the crouches and the butt ends. Great for ripping. Thanks for the info.
Yup, a big saw is nice for that!
Good work 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Nice work Sir Chris! Thats a lot of ash! I cut for two afternoons in a row and was sore for 3 days. We all need a break. See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻 GNI
I can't take a break, to much to do!
I am watching this and thinking. Just think when we was kids we had to do all that work with a two man buck saw. We was so poor we only used old cutting and splitting tools. Wasn't until I was 12 years old working for a neighbor 2 miles down the road that I was able to use a chain saw his 4X4 truck. I told my neighbor how we have been cutting trees down cutting them up and splitting them. The neighbor thought I was so full of it and said you know I would love to see you guys working one day. I said well come over on Saturday morning. That Saturday he did just that and saw my family out working in the woods with really old tools. Dad was talking to him as he calls me over to sharpen the two man Buck saw. My neighbor told me dad you do know you are using tools that they use to use in the 19 20's and 30's Dad said it gets the job done and that is what matters. We would drag logs out of the woods some times a mile to out house by hand. Most people would never believe how we had to work just to keep heat in our house to stay warm in Maine.
Sounds like you did some work! Thanks for the story!
@@InTheWoodyard When I was 12 one of my brothers and I use to climb widow makers to make them fall. We would climb to the top and jump up and down on them till they started to fall and just before they hit the ground we would jump off the tree and roll. Only my brother and I did this the rest of the family wouldn't. Now for the record knowing later on in life I would have never done it but back then we knew the tree had to come down so we did what we though was needed. On a side note most of the time we did this when there was at least 3 feet of snow on the ground on a side note we had no idea what was under the snow.
Amazing story that is the way u had to do it but what ever works the man probably didn't believe it even after seeing it hard working people earned a lot of respect from a lot of people thanks for posting and letting us know how you did it when you where a kid @@InTheWoodyard
Długi film ooo super!!Pozdrawiam ❤
Thanks for watching!!
Hello. Vic here! Everything you said I agree with. Awesome stuff.
Awesome, thank you!
I think the variety in your videos keeps the channel interesting.
Glad you think so!
I like the variety of content Chris, keep doing you! I started selling firewood last March/ April and I've adopted your motto of do a little bit everyday. It's helped. Stay busy!
Awesome!
Love the voice overs and the advice you give its probably saved me from getting hernia
Thanks for watching!!
Forgot to mention, no such thing as FREE............you earned it💪💪💪💪
Good point!
Love watching you. I like that you see many sides of the opinions thrown at you.
Keep being you !!
Yup, I get arrows from a lot of directions.
Very enjoyable and educational style of video. I sent it to a couple guys that are new to the industry as well.
thanks!
Chris it’s good to see you having fun making man glitter. Yes big rounds are hard to handle. But I love getting into them with the saw. Keep on cutting
Man glitter, I love it!
Yes they are, thanks!
yup!
Chris, been a subscriber for a while, I remember when I bought my “glacier” the old County Line 22 ton, which I still have and use, was about the same time I found your channel. I have always enjoyed your channel and how down to earth you are and truly appreciate all the hard work that you do to make a daily video. Awesome to see you made it over 50k subs, I think I found your channel in the 8k subscriber range. Keep the great videos coming. GNI 👍🏻
Very cool! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Also... I enjoy seeing you making deliveries.
Thanks!
Great video Chris. Covered all the bases. Making sure you have all the necessary equipment. Keeping the cutting area clear, (a twisted ankle is the least of concerns when bucking felled wood), quartering big rounds. Most important if you’re working by yourself 2-3 tanks of fuel is a great limit. Working big saws is big work, the repetitive cuts are a foundation for a mistake. Plus we ain’t getting any younger. Buddy you don’t need those zip ties, with your talent an experience you can see 16” give or take from a hundred yards away.
Yup, a mans gotta know his limitations!
Yes, enjoyed the voice over. You gave a lot of info that was interesting. I hope you do more videos like this one. Thank you Chris.
Thank you! Will do!
That Green Ash that's just starting to turn will dry insanely fast. I cut a big round -last week- and noticed one side was a touch iffy. I've been burning pieces of that round the last two days!!! The greener portions- where the wood is still whitish, takes a little longer- but not that much. This log has been cut for nearly 18 months, most bark is still on, and aside from the old cut ends, looks like it is fresh cut inside. I believe the slightly punky parts were likely there when it came down. (blowdown in a storm)
Your recreational customers will love it- it burns really nice! That mixed with silver or red maple makes a great mix.
Now that I again have 2 sharp chains, the rest of the 2 bigguns are calling my name! I'm out of stacking room, so I'll likely just quarter them like you did- they'll be on hand, ready to split, once I put a good dent in my supply, lol.
Sound great...keep cuttin'!
Before a person runs out and buys a 592 make sure you're in good shape. It makes my back hurt watching. A 555 is what I use but I'm just cutting for myself. Chris is a badass.
Big saws are awesome! I think the right size saw for the job is best.
Great video. I just bought a neo-tech ns 8105 a clone of the Stihl 070, it's very heavy and vibrates a lot,it has a 36" bar and for some crazy reason I love it. Chain speed is not very fast but it grunts it's way through wood.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I admit , I miss you working with your chainsaws, but I get it why they are few and far between. I also enjoy your voice over, I pick up things I would miss without the voice over. Thks again for the entertainment this morning.
Thanks I will do more!
Thank for highlighting the time it takes for editing. Although we like to watch you work.., what actually makes the viewer enjoy it is the different camera angles and the variety of wood and the different methods of dealing with problems. 2 hours of the same thing would be redundant and turns eyes away.
Yup, gotta keep it interesting! Thanks for watching Dan!
Chris, keep doing what you are doing. You are running a wood yard. Part of a woodyard is cutting, splitting and felling. Anyone who is critical of another's choice of saw or truck or beer or whiskey or whatever clearly is lacking something in themselves. You do you and I'll do me. Saying that though my Ram would have pulled that trailer over the stump in two-wheel drive in neutral...LOL
Thanks Greg!
I like the voice over Chris ....I lost some hearing in Nam...don't care to loose any more. LOL
Yup, I am 50% off in on ear and the other is not great!
Almost stuck!! Just throw sawdust into the rut!! Nice pull
Yup, did!
A Tundra or Tacoma will pull through most tough traction situations with ease by engaging 4WD. No spinning or ripping tires apart. If there is doubt, put it in 4x4 .😊
I like the time lapse parts of the videos, personally. Thanks Chris
Thanks!!
