Going to be honest here; I subscribed because I saw an affable hillbilly with a hilarious aesthetic (logger wade) on another channel. What I’ve come to learn is wade is an intellectual, an infectious personality, and a humble leader. Great qualities and I’m happy too have found the channel. Thanks for the thoughts and inspiration, Wade. Hope 2o24 is a great year with much success.
You are exactly right when you say that every one is afraid to make a decision, they wait to be told what to think, do or believe. Biggest problem our civilization has today! Enjoy your channel.
Sounds like you have been doing some growing this year brother. I’m proud of you. Being a small business owner (especially being responsible for other people’s livelihood) you ALWAYS have to be evolving. The rest of the world is moving ahead (new processes, tools, techniques and developments) and if you just keep running your operations the same way without considering that there may be improvements you will get left behind. The hardest part of growing is realizing you need to grow. Once again good job and I’m proud of you. Wish I lived closer so I could catch some of the shine coming off of you. We’ol be watching here on UA-cam. God bless.
For a man with a great personality and huge sense of humor , you have way more on your plate than a lot of us other small business men , but in the end we all share the same stumbling blocks to some degree , your insight on things is always good for thought !
I absolutely love your energy and your way of thinking. In a way, it is common sense as long as you use it. No matter what you post, I enjoy every bit of it. Thank you for sharing it!😊
Thank you Wade this was my first year of business and Iv been tunneled in to deep pal I really needed this and will rewatch this a couple of times to pull more out Thanks buddy God Bless
I remember back in 86 cutting and dragging logs off of our property to build our house with a old 1968 john deere tractor and sawing them up on a pto powered frick circle mill later in 88 we got a woodmizer lt40 super hyd
Wade, intelligence is not defined by IQ. It's defined by the ability to learn. You, Sir, in my humble opinion are an absolute genius. Open to new ways of thinking and not blinkered to "that's how we've always done it" Wishing you every success for the future 👍
Wade,I really have liked your video and the ones since you have returned. They are real and show logger Wade growing to fit shoes he never thought of. I worked in a steam-powered sawmill when I was young. Most of the people who work in mills and are not responsible for repairs and blades. The difference in understanding planer blades, band saw blades, and head saw blades, everything from the speed, angle, shape, tooth shape tension, the complex skills of cutting. We are never too old to learn, and sometimes off of somebody we take for granit,the Day that you think that you cannot be taught or learn something, you may as well jump in a hole! I like to see people who are lost and embedded in there exploration of what life deals in front of us. I like you sharing your enlightening expansion of your growth and wisdom. Oh Mike says he is still better looking than you?
Buddy, I am 65 and you opened my eyes on this one. I can't do much after 9 spinal related surgeries. But you still opened my eyes to what I have to do mainly mechanical on my vehicles.
Man listening to your spill about band saws has me chuckling. As a sawmill supervisor I completely understand everything you’re saying while also understanding most people have no clue what you’re saying. You hit the nail on the head though. One way I like to put it is inspect what you expect (especially with people expectations). Great video.
You have improved your life and that of those around you because you hit the realization that you don`t know enough about what you should know. Education is not a bad thing, its what separates failure from success. Working hard is not working smart.
Every teacher I had told me the best way to learn is to fail at. Another say is change is inevitable. So with both of those, I say try new things with a fail fast attitude which will allow you to learn more. And will hopefully guide you to a better path / solution.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Excellent advice, in the power industry they do lots of talking on the phone to solve, diagnose, and negotiate problems. One of the hardest things to do is to train yourself to listen to what someone says and actually hear it. It’s to easy to hear what you expect to hear and not what was actually said when your in a confusing situation. Great videos, always find the process in the mill interesting. Wishing you and your family the best. FYI from the DP channel it’s frequently come up that Jason refuses to mention where he works. I was guessing and you confirmed. 😂 Sucks when you work for an employer that doesn’t have a sense of humor, thankfully I’m retired now and the pressure is off, that being said I’ve felt his pain in the past.
The best way to learn, is to fail. If we look at our failures, only then, can we understand how to move forward and strive. Keep an open mind, and help others learn, as they will also help you learn. Great video Wade. My prediction is 2024 will be the year of positivity!
correct Wade life is simple so we make it harder, why because we love challenges, we love problems, that's what got us here, where we are at, the village used to raise the children, we should have remembered that, but we had to go hunting to feed the family the community so we leave the kids with someone who is maybe older and does cooking, so while we hunt the kids learn a bit of cooking, we got to go fishing in the sea, so we leave the kids with Maggie the pottery laddie and her husband, the kids learn a bit of pottery, that's how it used to be, now we leave the kids with a teacher problem is no matter what they do they can't teach them anything like the village, they try and fail, so the chief comes to their rescue and says just teach them how to do the basics, now the kids can never sit for a while with a professional who teaches them profesional tricks of the trade, just by doing their job and the kids learn by watching, teacher can never do that, why cuase the dont do these things every day, I hope this makes some sense.
simple statement from my boss 40 plus years ago ,,, more shit more learn , and the more things I messed up the more practical knowledge I ended up with ,,, JUST DONT make the same mistake 2 x learn from the first issue,, Regards John
Of the many sayings I learned as a kid this was the most useful. "Learn from the mistakes of other people, you'll never make them all yourself!" It's save me from many mistakes and also helped others if I foresaw a problem.
Very informative Mr.Wade! Not only to be used in business but Life. Hope your new year is off to a good start, 2024 is going to be great year for alot of individuals. I believe you and your family, along with employees will strive!
Wade, when you talked bout our Limbic System I immediately thought of the old saying, "Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results." Yuppers, been there and done that more than a few times in my 71 years. That part of the old brain will rear up and get ya over and over again if ya ain't payin attention😁. Thanks for starting up the vidjas again Wade. May you be abundantly blessed this year. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
The one thing I had to learn was I had to stop being afraid of being wrong and afraid to ask for help from others. Once I learned that I started seeing a whole different picture of how to do things better. Sometimes a new set of eyes or a new opinion on how to do it makes a huge difference on the outcome.
Great vidja Wade. I think the biggest mistake companies make is they don't utilize the equipment they have. They cost the company to much money with stuff just setting around not making the company money. To many company leaders have to many wants instead of needs. Some companies pass poor management alone to the consumer., but some cant and just sink. Just my opinion. Have a good one. I'll show this vidja to my banker lol
Great advice a lot make’s sense I try to always step back and look at everything the giver again inspect not expect thanks for sharing a great watch and I listen 👍👋🇨🇦
Haven’t heard that saying in quite awhile, it is true, I have lived it sir. I would like to recommend a book to you that leans toward leadership, or dealing with productive people that are looking to you to give direction, I read thru it once a year as a refresher, it’s called The Way Of The Shepard, from Dr. Kevin Leman and Bill Pentak. Leaders are learners, consistent learners, if you stop learning you stop growing, get yourself a shovel, dig a hole, crawl in, because you are as good as dead if you stop learning. Thanks Logger Wade, enjoyed the video, I see and hear a positive change in you, stay the course.
Good stuff Tater! Don't be afraid to be wrong. The only way you learn is to be wrong sometimes. Own it and learn from it, it will make you stronger and better, I promise.
Great observations, Wade! I feel like adding these: A Dutch book on computer programming started with: if it takes 5 minutes to boil an egg, how long will it take to boil two eggs? - Right, it depends... I met a woman who had photography as a hobby, but at a level that had her expose panel-sized photos in Amsterdam town hall (and elsewhere). We were the first ones to arrive for a meeting. She was attracted by the dish of cookies to be had with our coffee, and suggested to me several ways (approaches, filters) to look at the cookies: as a symbol of hospitality (or not, depending on the properties and the number of the cookies), as an announcement of the coffee to come, as a geometric figure, as a composition of colors, ... (I'm trying to remember whatever examples she gave.)
I may have said this before but it doesn’t hurt to repeat it. I met Wade at the Louisville Expo in 2021(?) at a Hyundai meet and greet. Several UA-camrs were there. Wade took his time talking to people and was writing notes as he conversed with everybody. There was no rush to get to the next person in line. Humble attitude all the way. He even subscribed to my channel which I appreciated very much. Hope our paths cross again one day. Enjoyed the video!
Heck yeah I remember you quite well you was an intresting character anyways your pashions just got to me I was over at you channel just the other day snooping around
I’m a noob to your channel. Subscribed since you came back on. That gives me the pleasure to watch your old stuff AND new stuff. You are one smart “son of a buck!” 😂 I love your passion mixed with a work ethic my Dad (RIP) would be proud of. This is a great vid explaining the challenges of a small business owner. God bless to you and yours and I pray you have a tremendous 2024!
You dont need me to say this, But.. this Wade is a much better Wade than 8 month ago. That guy was just trying to make us smile . This Wade is starting to make himself smile and that works better. I sure miss co workers and bosses like you. Keep it going!
Wade, you need to step back a little further. We are not in a recession generally but some fields were hit extra hard this year. Yours and anything construction were hit by those interest rates. Good news is they will be dropping soon since the FED hit it's targets already and are in watch and wait but signalling drops. Yes, it is good to find other avenues just for these hard times. Construction is always cyclical and I started swinging a hammer in 1965. So many times I watched the floor drop out from under us without warning, but the guys who could flex always found a way. Happy I am retired and don't have to ride that dragon anymore but I feel ya. Lumber will be back but keep those other options open and manage several dances at once. The greedy guy who puts it all in one basket will suffer but the guy who does it all has a chance. You are on the right track and wishing you a fantastic 2024. Just remember easy on the borrowing even in the good times. Do what you have to but so many go hog wild and pay for it later. Onward and up to new heights. Veneer, ties, staves, RR needs, even mining timbers all have a place in the markets and diversification is good. Ya focus on your main product in the good times, but keep a toe in the others for the not so good times. Connections are the currency of the day.
Trucking was hit too. And I've heard about the whole rolling recession idea but it feels like one where I'm setting is all I can say.. But yes I get it im probably only lookin at that through my lense thanks bud this was a good comment and had me thinking for shore
The whole connections thing really hit home that's what's been weighing heavy on my mind these days.... thanks bud and make shore and don't be shy on comments you got the ability to get someone thinking
First, I would like to say welcome back, and as far as the theory of the needle in the haystack I probably would have invented a magnet to find it . Pawpaw taught me that failures are more like lessons and agree with you on the fact that people need to open up and just say "I messed up" then y'all can work it out as a team so everyone learns something. Amazing 5 🌟 video from Gaffney South Carolina viewer. God bless y'all..
I used to work at a mill for about 5 years i ran loader did maintenance and did filling and filling was the most difficult bc the finished product was the most important
Great vidja as always tater. If you think about failure as you failed then it will eat at you, but if you look at failure as a way that didn't work it helps in the long run to get the end result you want. Think of it like this, when the light bulb was invented and it took 1000 tries to get to work was that 999 failures... No, that was just 999 ways it didn't work. Never let anyone say it can't be done. I'm personally the type person that if you tell me it can't be done then I'm going to figure out how to make it possible. Always set out for the day that you're going to learn something. A day to me is waisted if nothing is learned. With that learning comes better ways to solve problems. There is always things to learn from and improve on. Always strive to be better than the day before. Be open to change on the path of learning. Like you said if you back up and look around a small change is a lot easier than a 90 or even a 180. I can honestly say this that watching you on here has make me a better person and I have learned things from you that if you weren't on here I probably wouldn't have seen, learned, or even thought of different ways to do things I was doing.On a side note with the drops off the tie cuts have y'all ever thought about asking any of the mechanic shops around you if they need cribbing. I know when I was working on equipment all the time we kept stacks of them around just in case we needed them. Thank you in so many ways and hope everyone has a great 2024.
I think you spoke some gospel about the importance of team work and the way too look at things in a totally different way and backing up and looking what’s in front of you thinking what you have to do to get it done efficiently and safely very informative video Logger Wade 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

Those who dont learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

Once again good job and I’m proud of you. Wish I lived closer so I could catch some of the shine coming off of you. We’ol be watching here on UA-cam. God bless.
You won’t kidding when you said y’all had a lot of inventory. That yard is stuffed.
For a man with a great personality and huge sense of humor , you have way more on your plate than a lot of us other small business men , but in the end we all share the same stumbling blocks to some degree , your insight on things is always good for thought !
I absolutely love your energy and your way of thinking. In a way, it is common sense as long as you use it. No matter what you post, I enjoy every bit of it. Thank you for sharing it!😊
Conquering the fear of being wrong.... That's some real wisdom there! Thanks Wade!
Wade, An honest man has nothing to hide...I love your honesty! I can see that you aren't greedy! I wish the best to you in 2024.
Thank you Wade this was my first year of business and Iv been tunneled in to deep pal I really needed this and will rewatch this a couple of times to pull more out Thanks buddy God Bless

School teaches you to never be wrong
I once heard in a productive argument, either I'm wrong, you're wrong, or we're both wrong. But at least we now know "what" is wrong.
ANOTHER GREAT VIGYA! YOU CAN HAVE THE FINEST EQUIPTMENT, BUT THE KEY FACTOR IS THE HUMAN ELEMENT.
I forgot how much i missed the Logger Wade channel until watching it again. Glad your back on the tube. Love ya Wade and family.
Thanks for bein so genuine, Wade. Mad respect to ya.
Wade, intelligence is not defined by IQ.
It's defined by the ability to learn.
You, Sir, in my humble opinion are an absolute genius.
Open to new ways of thinking and not blinkered to "that's how we've always done it"

Hell of a way to start the new year a new logger Wade video thank you Mr Wade.
Buddy, I am 65 and you opened my eyes on this one. I can't do much after 9 spinal related surgeries. But you still opened my eyes to what I have to do mainly mechanical on my vehicles.
Copy that good luck and glad i could help in any way

Lol the saying around here is when it's all going right nobody even knows he's back there when it's going wrong everybody knows he's back there
Love your energy Wade you always deliver your message with experience and logic
You have improved your life and that of those around you because you hit the realization that you don`t know enough about what you should know. Education is not a bad thing, its what separates failure from success. Working hard is not working smart.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Then with repetition comes speed with accuracy.

I have said several times over the years.. sometimes you have to slow down a little to get more done...
Work smarter, not harder.
correct Wade life is simple so we make it harder, why because we love challenges, we love problems, that's what got us here, where we are at, the village used to raise the children, we should have remembered that, but we had to go hunting to feed the family the community so we leave the kids with someone who is maybe older and does cooking, so while we hunt the kids learn a bit of cooking, we got to go fishing in the sea, so we leave the kids with Maggie the pottery laddie and her husband, the kids learn a bit of pottery, that's how it used to be, now we leave the kids with a teacher problem is no matter what they do they can't teach them anything like the village, they try and fail, so the chief comes to their rescue and says just teach them how to do the basics, now the kids can never sit for a while with a professional who teaches them profesional tricks of the trade, just by doing their job and the kids learn by watching, teacher can never do that, why cuase the dont do these things every day, I hope this makes some sense.

Yes I'm gonna do something for him

Looks like a great Machine can't wait to see the new saw
Spot on Wade. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year. 🇬🇧👍
Love your videos Wade, glad you're back. We now need to get you another 5200+ subscribers to get you to that 100k mark.
Me pounding X Y and Z is setting the haystack on fire. Needle be layin right there. 😎

Thank you for those quotes defiantly opened my eyes.
Thanks for bringing us along!

good to see you on here again. the only bad decision is the one never made.
What a great perspective. 👍
Good to see you back!
I'm just happy you're back.
If like to eat mushrooms with Wade, he'd love it. With His cerebral nature his whole world would explode in the best way possible.
Lol copy that
Hi Wade, Glad to see you're back. Much Love to you and yer Family. Much Love from Northern Ireland.
Im so happy you are back Wade.God speed
Logger wade done learned something
Happy New Year 1 Thank you for the video. Stay safe out there ! Cheers

Also please keep up the good videos. Glad to see you back.
Wade thx for coming back great video
Message to machine operators, ... "SLOW is SMOOTH, ... and SMOOTH ... is FAST.
Great advice a lot make’s sense I try to always step back and look at everything the giver again inspect not expect thanks for sharing a great watch and I listen 👍👋🇨🇦
☕️☕️✅ More peaceful thought processes on the jump. Little more rest in yourself , must have this. To be sharp.

Thank you . I needed that .
You welcome bud
Love the energy. Would love to visit your mill
Love yah! Missed you helping me out every day!
Haven’t heard that saying in quite awhile, it is true, I have lived it sir.

It's so great that you're back 😃Thank you from sweden 💪
Hope you all had Merry Christmas to and happy new year and have a great new year and keep putting out your videos and I love them thank you ❤🎉😊
Good stuff Tater! Don't be afraid to be wrong. The only way you learn is to be wrong sometimes. Own it and learn from it, it will make you stronger and better, I promise.
Great stuff Wade, sorry, way behind, but will catch up, Thank You🙏🙏👍😎
Glad you are back you were definitely missed
I appreciate that
Should be able to sell the Tie cut offs for Firewood.
Great observations, Wade!
I feel like adding these:
A Dutch book on computer programming started with: if it takes 5 minutes to boil an egg, how long will it take to boil two eggs? - Right, it depends...
I met a woman who had photography as a hobby, but at a level that had her expose panel-sized photos in Amsterdam town hall (and elsewhere). We were the first ones to arrive for a meeting. She was attracted by the dish of cookies to be had with our coffee, and suggested to me several ways (approaches, filters) to look at the cookies: as a symbol of hospitality (or not, depending on the properties and the number of the cookies), as an announcement of the coffee to come, as a geometric figure, as a composition of colors, ...

My mom was a saw filer for years. It ain't easy.
You dont need me to say this, But.. this Wade is a much better Wade than 8 month ago. That guy was just trying to make us smile . This Wade is starting to make himself smile and that works better.
I sure miss co workers and bosses like you. Keep it going!
You got that right

Loved this Wade as a farmer/small business owner this vidja helped this ole boy. I really should read more.
Very true and well said..
Trust but verify
Even yourself
☯️🙏
Wade, I think you were right on target, but it's a mighty deep subject for my small mind to comprehend !! Don't forget to SMILE BRO !!
You have a way with words Wade!! Happy New Year!!
Your shop area looks very nice. Great video.
We say it like it's football sometimes you got to backup and punt
First, I would like to say welcome back, and as far as the theory of the needle in the haystack I probably would have invented a magnet to find it .

Wade great video, sounds like you been learning and growing, good job
Awesome video! Hope 2024 is a bit better for all of us.
you are an inspiration to me, thanks for sharing your thoughts and wisdom 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
I remember you building that volvo on Ax-men
Thank you for the vid it really made me think about the most important things in life
Great vidja as always tater. If you think about failure as you failed then it will eat at you, but if you look at failure as a way that didn't work it helps in the long run to get the end result you want. Think of it like this, when the light bulb was invented and it took 1000 tries to get to work was that 999 failures... No, that was just 999 ways it didn't work. Never let anyone say it can't be done. I'm personally the type person that if you tell me it can't be done then I'm going to figure out how to make it possible. Always set out for the day that you're going to learn something. A day to me is waisted if nothing is learned. With that learning comes better ways to solve problems. There is always things to learn from and improve on. Always strive to be better than the day before. Be open to change on the path of learning. Like you said if you back up and look around a small change is a lot easier than a 90 or even a 180. I can honestly say this that watching you on here has make me a better person and I have learned things from you that if you weren't on here I probably wouldn't have seen, learned, or even thought of different ways to do things I was doing.On a side note with the drops off the tie cuts have y'all ever thought about asking any of the mechanic shops around you if they need cribbing. I know when I was working on equipment all the time we kept stacks of them around just in case we needed them. Thank you in so many ways and hope everyone has a great 2024.
Thanks
I think you spoke some gospel about the importance of team work and the way too look at things in a totally different way and backing up and looking what’s in front of you thinking what you have to do to get it done efficiently and safely very informative video Logger Wade 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
