Much respect for the boss. He seems like a great dad.
I like this man. An actual masculine, no BS, Man. Listening to him talk one can begin to understand why his daughters are actual strong and independent young women and not the useless princesses seen everywhere today.
Yess, it's refreshing to see young beautiful ladies working so hard and passion about what they do.
Very judgmental of you

Amen
Was a Joy to see the Boss man (DAD) . I am 70 years old and i love this channel. I love hard work and really appreciate the girl's work ethic. I could not agree more with Dad's approval. I raised 2 daughters myself. Sadly, they chose good looking guys over responsible ones. They both had to raise their children alone. Girls don't sell yourself short and be fooled by Mr. Slick. Your dad is 100% right, and he only wants what is best for you girls.
Amen my daughter choose looks over brains and work ethics and got a no good lazy bum with not a lick of intelligence or ambition
worst nightmare for The Boss he is absolutely one of the most informative and articulate youtuber interviews I have ever watched sorry boss your a natural!! MORE BOSS!
yeah ... and all those answers were on volley, he had no time to prepare.
Your Dad seems to be a sincere and great guy as well as a hard worker
your dad is funny i like how he really cares about his girls
You can be very proud of your family. As a parent myself I understand your reservations especially with your girls but they seem like really mature ladies who have been raised well. Great job! You’re a great sport and you are a natural in front of the camera!
@White Male get a clue
@White Male Go away loser troll!
Can you thank your Dad for doing this please, just as he is proud of his family you must be proud of him too, he sounds like a fine man.
Amen,I agree
You sir did a fantastic job raising you girls. Teaching the girls that hard work, passion and respect for your trade is so valuable in life. In this new culture of social media that is destroying our new generation, you have managed to keep your family ahead of the curve. My hat is off to you.
I myself am a father of 3 children and I know how hard it is today to raise children well. But you are a really very well tuned family, where everyone knows where his place is and fills it responsibly and the father is a father worthy of the name.
Yesterday I said to my wife that I happened to see a YT video of a Pennsylvania family where the children are cheerful and very well behaved and responsibly help out in their own business. Unfortunately, our children are probably not like theirs due to too much wealth and free time.
This is how I imagine a good American family.

Thank you for putting out some quality entertainment and instilling some of the values that made this great country. Honor, patients, family values, LOVE! Work ethic and gratitude. We need more fathers to lead the American family, show our daughters what to expect from a man.
God bless you
This is all part of schooling. That's what's great about homeschooling. So glad to hear your kids are home-schooled. We home-schooled our two girls. They both tried public school once. It was their decision. One lasted a day! She referred to it as "the jail." The other one lasted a little longer.
We used all Bob Jones University's curriculum. Excellent! Becky went to Ozark Christian College for a year on a full scholarship. Homeschooling works! I knew right away there was something different about your girls. That was it.
A buddy of mine bought a little home sawmill, after i built my timber frame barn. I ordered lumber from a local mill. I liked his saw, so I watched some videos about old sawmills here in Maine. I saw your videos and said to myself, these women wont do much, I apologize, was I wrong! Im amazed at the work ethic they have and the hard work they do, and dont wear gloves. After watching the Q and A with the boss, I understand this is a hard working family. Hats off to you folks! Your videos are interesting and entertaining and I have learned alot. thanks and God bless!
a honest and hard working man with just the right ethics and morals speaks truths in nearly every sentence he says. the world needs mor men like him
Great interview, Boss Man, Father, crew chief, Manager, Mechanic, you name it you are it. You are proud of your family as you should be, you have taught great work ethic which is critical in life as well as in business. You have created a business to be passed on for decades. and you are a great steward of the land
I just started watching this channel this month and really enjoy the different jobs everyone does. As time permits, I am going back and watching some of the earlier videos like this one. Thanks "Boss Man" for answering the questions and giving a history of your operation. Having raised two daughters, the boss is optimistic, that he will have approval of his daughters' choice of spouse. As my wife told me many years ago, it was not our job to approve of their future spouse, but to educate our daughters so that they would pick a spouse that we would approve.
Well said. And I can say from personal experience that if your education efforts are successful you won't be disappointed.
You and your wife have much to be proud of… Great to see family working together and enjoying life. We do many of the same activities. 🐸 😂
As the owner of a commercial woodshop I love hearing him talk about the zero waste factors of the industry. I just realized they are only 2 hours or so from our shop. I may have to schedule some time to make a purchase. I'd rather put some money in the pockets of a family operating responsibly than our normal big name suppliers.
We would look forward to meet you.
Considering he’s uncomfortable to be on film, he’s quite relaxed about it. Comes over as an honest, down to earth soul with a good heart.
Great Dad, instilling good work ethics with the family.
Hats off to you Dad... THREE daughters at work? You are a saint of tolerance, an island of parental testosterone alone in a sea of estrogen!!!!
This video would never happened unless Ken saw value in what his creative and industrious daughters are doing with this channel. I admire him for stepping up and supporting their endeavor. On a personal note Ken, my cherished daughter was somewhat of a target for good looking men who were players. Of course none of these young men were serious suitors and I am so happy to report that she finally went for a young man that comes from a farming background of several generations and they married ,restored a 120 year old farmhouse and currently are raising two precious little girls. I have full faith that these young ladies will attract the kind of young man that you will be proud to call your son-in-law.
Great video Em...... I now understand where your intelligence and story telling ability comes from. To say The Boss Man is deep would be an understatement. He has been modeling values for you your siblings your entire life and it shows in the quality of your videos and in the work ethic you demonstrate week in and week out. Continue listening and learning from him kid, it will serve you well for years to come.
This was an awesome video as usual! Thanks boss man for stepping out of your comfort zone! Is a Q&A video with the rest of the family in the future?
I like the boss! Easy to see where the girls come from both in intelligence, down-to-earth-niceness, and outgoing personalities. And, for a "camera shy" guy, he came across like a pro.
That was an excellent interview, Bossman! You handled that extremely well, and seemed far more comfortable with it than you probably were. You all are the perfect examples of how people should be, and it's nice to see how you and your wife are passing all those great traits on to your kids. Great video, Em! Thanks for doing that for us.
Thanks for participating Dad. Good to hear how proud you are of your girls and your business.😎👍
My dad was a cutter up in Potter County for 30+ years and my uncle worked in the Trout Run area for several years. Steep down that way!!
Thanks for the great videos!
Great job explaining everything. You can tell that your dad / boss man can tell he is very proud of all of the family working on the log yard and logging. Keep up the great videos and
The Boss Man obviously see's his daughter's as priceless !!! As the father of five girl's I totally understand !
Ok, I'm not in that age range for marriage and have a lovly wife. But we have strong boys ;-) ... I like the way you work and live together as a Family. You have the bibel in your live, like we do. We live in the mountains of Austria and drive 4 wheels on steep paths every day. I like your boss! Wood business is around us. We buy our lumber at the mill 2 min away. It's a live style - using wood of plastic - no waste.
I appreciate watching “The Boss Man” aka Dad. New to the channel and so far it’s refreshing to see authentic hard working people. Watching him appreciate the land, trees, logs, and most importantly his daughters is awesome. As a father of three daughters and a son it is great to see a fellow Dad that is trying to teach all of his kids what he knows.
Money isn't important to this man for a dowry. No intrinct value of a suitor will be considered either. This man has higher standards. Good for him!!! There are things much more important than money and self-inflated ego. Having said that, these girls will flush out those false suitors anyway. Good job dad. Good job girls.

I took a job at a wood products mill when I graduated from engineering school at age 28. It was on a 350,000 acre tree farm at Snoqualmie Falls WA. They were on a sustained yield program for cutting,( fir, hemlock and cedar) which means cutting at the rate of growth. They had a sawmill with 42 foot carriage with 9 foot band and another 24 foot double cut carriage. (the double cut, both directions.) They had a wood burning powerhouse with oil backup. Steam heated dry kilns, planning mill, shipping and storage, plywood plant, silva cell plant (landscaping), presto log plant, wood cutting yard for employees and 20 rental houses for management. They chipped the hemlock and fir for truck loading facility to the paper mills. This facility had been running since 1920 using all of the tree. They even sold permits for public wood cutting, xmas trees and cedar shake bolts. And, left the gates open daily for hunting and fishing on the tree farm. The timber was clear cut then replanted in mineral soil, with fir and hemlock. The planted areas were sprayed to keep the deciduous trees from shading the planted trees and the tree farm was patrolled for fire 24/7. I visited two years ago. There are a couple of buildings and they are using the mill yard for some kind of small car racing. The North end of the yard at one time was a Chinese worker town. I heard the tree farm was sold to a German Co. Should be ready for cutting a 3rd growth.

Now that's a man who loves his daughters.
Thanks, Em, that was cool. It's a pity your father doesn't like the camera, although I understand it; I'm the same way. Even so, he's got something to say, and people ought to listen to him. We see him, off and on, and he's always just in the background, kinda gruff and growling. But he isn't, really. I see why you love him, and are willing to work so hard to please him. And, of course, his love for his children shines through the whole video.
I repeat: that was cool. Keep up the good work. Tell your dad I said he's the star of the show, no matter what he thinks about young men watching them because of his daughters. If he wasn't so driven, there wouldn't be a log yard.
I don't blame for being protective of your daughters. Having 2 of my own, I know exactly how you feel. You and your wife have raised 2 amazing young ladies who are very hard workers. Well done .
love your dad honesty was very real
He had an impressive answer to the dowry question. He could have brushed it off with a joke. Instead his answer was honest and insightful.
Girls I knew your Dad was a Great Man or you girls wouldn't be what you are in the videos. I love your Dad, he's good people with a Great Hard Working Family. I love your channel.
America needs more families like this. Thank you for your service
At this count 779 likes with ZERO dislikes…even the guy who said he didn’t like the questions did not actually give you a thumbs down. This has to be a You tube record!
Well, the dislike counter has been removed across all of UA-cam so dislikes aren't shown anymore.
@@guyincognito. Also, for mental health reasons, i wouldn't put to much emphasis on YT likes or dislikes, most of the time the numbers are manipulated anyway.
Fantastic interview with the Boss man...Dad.
Trapped as only a loving Dad could be by one of his daughters.
You handled yourself perfectly Boss.
The girls are beautiful but it came from a Mom and Dad of exceptional faith, values, and spirit.
Great video, Em! I really like the idea of taping your dad. So much back history, personal experiences, and an idea of what it's like start and run a log mill company!!! Well done!😃 Oh, and I agree with him. An suitor must be approved by dad. He knows what you deserve probably more than you do. I know I'll be quite particular about any potentials for my girls!!!😁
You girls have an amazing father, and one day you will appreciate it even more than you can imagine now. That's the luxury of modern times.
That’s gotta be the proudest man on this planet to speak about his girls like that… you girls are indeed extremely special…
Can I call you Dad, even tho I'm Older than you are 82 yrs., What I want to say is you have a very Talented Daughter. I just cannot get over how much Wisdom this 17 yrs old lady has.
Great, nice to see someone with good work ethic that respects his family.
Understand the uncomfortable about UA-cam dad ...I have seen a Russian dad whose daughter is on UA-cam and admit I have thought it must be very uncomfortable for him...
The upcoming generation has been weaned on modern technology so are much more accustomed to using it..
I will finish this later as I have my own survival work to do but I do enjoy these ....you are a great bunch and congrats to you all...
RESPECT ...from my Homestead in the woods of Maine
Boss Man, I have the same phone! Kyocera. Rugged phone for a rugged man!
I am so happy I got to hear this video again! I am practicing the the dowry conversation just as The Boss said it. I have 3 daughters and it’s as simple or complicated as he said it! Truly. Thanks for sharing. I have a mill and firewood business and These videos offer a lot of really inspirational/valuable information and techniques. Best regards!
A plus size for your business is the fact it gets your business more exposure.
Well, I had the Boss man pegged all wrong. What a nice guy and a natural in front of the camera.
Thanks to the Boss for agreeing to star in this video. I found it to be most heartwarming and gave me insight into his character and personality.
Thank your dad for stepping in front of the camera. I love to watch UA-cam videos with real families. I love how informative all your videos are.
Your poor dad is going to get hauled into the future with his daughters dragging him with an iPhone and a camera.
Last question answered was the best. I feel that all fathers, including myself, feel the exact same way. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Love the video. It is good to meet the Boss Man.
If the owners of the brewery have any sons of a suitable age (toady looking or otherwise) I think you could negotiate a decent dowry with them!
Your Father seems a very fine man, can see.where you kids get your work ethic, Be proud of him and Dad be proud of your children
I thought you girls were cool, but your dad is even cooler 🙂
Kudos to the boss for his work ethics and his no-waste approach. How about a Q&A with Mrs. boss, or did I miss that?
The majority of the people in this country today would benefit greatly if they would just sit down and listen to your father talk for a few days. ( my self included) One of the top “questions and answer videos on UA-cam!
You all have a great channel and I enjoy watching you all .
My favorite is watching and learning how You're Grandfather sharpening the saw blades. A serious art
Loved it. You are lucky to have such a cool and down to earth dad. And, of course, he is luck to have fine daughters.
I'm afraid his aversion to tech and social media might keep him from realizing what great work these girls are doing with this part of the business. Truly great work.
Great video, that work your dad and brother do in the woods is dangerous stuff, keep up the good work.
You girls are EXTREMELY fortunate to have such an awesome dad and when it comes to get married, you had best pay attention to what his opinion is.
I am 58 with two daughters so I understand your concerns, well done for letting go and trusting them!
You're doing something right and it shows...
I'm inspired, educated and entertained with each episode.
Wood chipper and then pellet maker for the limbs and other small stuff
This man, I mean THE BOSS , knows about hard work, discipline and true masculine power. No wonder he raised responsible and cheerful daughters. Ps: even he doesn't like to be on camera, he did an excellent job!
What a nice hard working man that cares about his family. Love that work ethic.
I am thankful for what little time you do spend on videos. I find them very educational. Thank you for putting up with the videos you do.
I started watching this channel just yesterday (just days before Christmas 2022) being a member and involved with our family in a youth group called the Junior Forest Warden's, we visited recently a small farm owned saw mill. The kids got try hands on to mill some logs. For that reason I started watching some videos (like the banana log).
I was at first really skeptical about the seriousness of these video's, by seeing a bunch of girls handling these logs and running this mill without proper safety gear.
The first video I watched, I showed my son and said there's now way that those girls work that mill daily, not wearing gloves (think about the sap/resins).
Seeing this video gave me a lot of respect. Dad (Boss Man).... I have a huge respect for you, how you think and started your business. I'm not a environmentalist (not at all) but this world is wasting a lot of valuable resources and we need a lot more of people like this dad (Boss Man) what turn discard into something valuable.
Keep doing what you guys (girls and their dad do!! 👍👍🙏🙏
🇺🇸American family 🇺🇸
Love the zero waste strategy!! We are pretty much zero waste at our operation in NY, if it isn't mill-wood, or firewood , we grind it for mulch/compost, or we most recently got into biochar.
There is a LOT of stuff on the Utube that lacks much substance, but you were awfully smart putting this together. You're really good at 'interviewing' and drawing viewers (like myself) into your family's world and showing what a strong bond your family has. It looks to me like the feeling is mutual amongst all: we're fortunate and really happy that we have each other.
It's no wonder you kids are such hardworking, intelligent and thoughtful people. The apples clearly don't fall far from the tree.
EM, your DAD is a get-r-done type of guy. DADS always want the best for their young ladies.
I see a GRINDER and PELLET MILL in your business future. That will do EVERY PART of a tree. Then get in with a Plumber who sells Pellet Boilers...DING DING we have a winner Don Pardo
Salt of the earth, true American spirit, intelligence, work ethic, and fantastic role model for his family. The USA could use a lot more like yourself Mr “Boss”.
So much respect for your dad and what he has built! Not wasting anything at the log yard is certainly not easy but really worth it for everyone. Mother nature, the costumers and definitely for your business.
And as Mark Twain said over a hundret years ago: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
as a father I so heartedly agree with the boss, not only to be at the table do you have to meet the basics of value he layed out but you need to know your main job that is to love her with your whole being, if your not willingly ready to lay your life down to save her first your head will be lopped off and your new home will be in a lava tube.....😊
Aloha Mick
Q8 is why I'm watching.. Don't work in the lumber industry, but do have forest & also watch how "logging" is done & SMH at the sheer waste. The "junk" that gets rolled in as brash is the hottest, best fuel & the "oddities" like burls, forks and whatnot often command the best prices if processed right. Greatly enjoying the videos, love the ethics - personal & work. He has it sussed on the beer.. and lots more. :-) Smart guy.
Young lady's.....just realize that you are HIGH VALUE women!! DONT settle! You both are young, good looking, healthy, hard working, strong family values, etc..... You can and only should have the best in life.
Too long? Not a chance!!! Once again thank you for a great video. I had an idea the "boss " would be a very grounded, secure, intelligent and most of all loving man. I think I hit that nail right on the head. I'm sure there are a lot of very nice well intending young men out there that will meet you hotness requirements. However trying to find one that has as much love and devotion to you as "the boss" has will not be easy to obtained. It will never be exceeded!!!! Something to remember when "the bosses" thoughts don't match yours!
I'm really getting to like this 2 vids a week deal 24 mins. is no way too long, honest.
Thanks!
What a great Dad; great family. You brought your kids up well; hard working and I think I heard in another video at least one loves to cook. I appreciate these types of videos where I learn something I didn't know. No politics, no drama, just useful info. It is possible/profitable to use the tree limbs for BBQ pellets? I know nothing about the manufacturing process but I used them before and was thinking of that when you mentioned no-waste. One safety note: I see hearing protection, heard on the videos that hard toe shoes are used, understand gloves aren't but please; "Eye Protection". I'm pretty sure this is an above average dangerous profession. Again, LOVE the information Thank you.
Yes, these are very special young ladies. It'll take special young men to court these wonderful ladies.
Mad respect for Boss Man!
That was excellent, thank you
It's great for your business that even though those people have trees all around they still buy firewood from you.
Hey Boss Dad.... you're a natural, despite your discomfort. The camera really "likes you." There's no doubt that a UA-cam channel is terrific advertising for a business and a potential revenue source in its own right. Good for you for getting into the videos- broadening your levels of experience.
Very insightful!
Thanks for sharing some background information about your operation and letting know much your Dad loves all of you.
Totally watchable
Great road trip!
I personally think the experience of working with my daughters was eye-opening and phenomenal! It really was the best to know a different side of your children
As a professional firefighter, my working schedule was 2 /10 hr days and 2 /14 hr nights, and then 4 days off you go back to work! But the days off allowed me construction time! Basically, I worked on my fixer-upper house first, Working all kinds of construction! Years ago after retiring from firefighting, I built a house and all the cedar trims were cut on my Woodmizer with cedar from wood on my lot!
I tried Vinyl decking for a few years but you ended up being a weatherman, Always worrying if it was going to rain.
But ended up with Tiling and not just because my last name is Tyler? I really enjoyed most parts of showing them and then watching to see if they Got It! My eldest daughter was far more Artistic than I ever was and she had her own business tiling until she was hit in a head-on collision! I was very sad to hear that she can No Longer Tile as she can know longer get up and down off her knees because of Brain Trauma! My younger daughter was a trained sous chef and was between jobs and she also worked with me! We now live with her family paying rent and also renovating her new home! Which was the worst house on the block and nobody wanted it! What a Deal they got! My daughter could see the possible value of this house and had to talk to her husband, that this was a good deal
So, she has helped me finish her 2 bathrooms in her new house!
House, when bought, was 3 bedrooms and an open basement! We have been working on house for 2 years It now has 3 bedrooms on 2 levels and only have a new kitchen in basement suite to finish!
Love the family insight and thanks for sharing
You raised some beautiful,Powerful, self sufficient young ladies who will be better for having you as a dad and for learning that working hard is the highest respect points a yone can earn. Much respect from Maine.
Great video. The Boss is great. I so enjoy all your videos. Your weekly video is the one I look forward to the most each week.
I'd like to see a poster of the family together. Mom, Dad, the girls, the little blonde haired boy.
I think it's great the way your family works together.
This video is pure gold.
Love the Zero Waste Goal and great taste in beer as well! New Trail is a great supporter of all outdoor activity!
