    I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and just realized your narrative style reminds me very much of the same style Warren Miller used when narrating his ski videos back in the 1970’s and 80’s. I’ve learned a lot from you and really appreciate your approach to managing your property. Not bad for a left coaster. 😉

    I have never criticized you for anything… but I’m concerned about you getting yourself into trouble… this is one of my favorite channels and I don’t want you to stop producing these very entertaining videos. Now that you have sold yourself that lumber, you are responsible for the taxes on that dollar!!! If you had just swallowed your pride and admitted that you wanted to cut more timber, the IRS wouldn’t be involved! You better check with your tax lawyer before it’s too late…. I’ll keep you in my prayers 😊

Like sawing it 9x9, 12x12, 16x16..... so the sub-inner question is: Can cants could be considered when cutting countless trees like you just cutted?!. [That english traduction is a wacko C parade] Let's say you have the forks and machine ti stack cants efficiently... 🙏🏼 tanks for the time Mike.❤
