Hi Dave!!😀😀 I'm a old disabled logger from central Wisconsin. I just love watching you making firewood. You remind me a lot of myself when I was young. I really like learning about how the firewood business works in your part of the country. Most of these guys that criticize you haven't cut enough timber to fill a cat's butt hole. Because any good wood cutter should be having a open mind about learning new things. I'm disabled now and not able to implement anything new I learn. But I'm still interested in learning. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Thanks my friend!!! Hahaha I love that! Not enough wood to fill a cat’s butthole haha boy if that ain’t the truth! They sure talk a good game sitting on the couch tho! Wish they would video and upload for us to see how it’s done! 😂
Hi, 72 years old, broke my lower back L4 vertebrae 30 years ago. 15 years ago my bull headed logging horse grabbed my neck and broke the C 5 vertebrae. In 2011 I had a heart attack. I am still cutting, splitting and selling firewood. Work smart, work steady and be careful....love your channel Gary in Michigan !
Hello, Gary I have read your letter, you are well done! I really wanted to answer. I am 67 years old and have no cartilage between my two lumbar vertebrae. However, I also cut down dry tree trunks in the forest,carry these trunks of 12-15 foot of length into the yard, saw them, and chop them for firewood. Every day in summer and winter I walk of 5-10 miles through the forest. It supports my back and joints in good condition, as well as my heart.I advise you to do the same. I wish you a long and healthy life!
Hey David I so enjoy hearing your views about life, the stunning top of the mountain scenes and then you just fire up the saw. Sorry to hear about continuing shoulder pain.
David, you take care. Im 71yrs old still cut wood, had 4 bones took out of right foot, and right hip replacement. Cant go as quick as yesterday, but still get er done. Keep them coming.
David love those stories l will give you a short statement and this is for everyone on this planet.What do we have that we did not receive.Do l need to explain the meaning of that statement.None of us are born with complete knowledge of everything.Someone taught us..we can be thankful we were receptive enough and humble to share that knowledge as you have with many of us.Personally l love your channel.Dont take personal every negative comment from people with less experience than you have.They just have not been blessed as much as you have. All your subscribers know who you are and your character. Continue on your course discard falsely called knowledge.May you have Peace and joy in all your days ttyl Cliff
I've been taking advantage of the cooler weather splitting and stacking the firewood I got in the spring and the wood I fell off a hillside and it's very tight grain and has a slight twist to it so it's not to fun to split! Great wood though! Great content as always hope all is well!
Man I love watching y’all’s videos, i just got my 2023 wood cutting permits down here in nor cal. The wood collecting shall begin.. why would you bring the half ton instead of the high boy?
Hey there. New sub here. I watched that “chased off the mountain” vid about a week ago. It was clear that the weather chased you out. I think the ignorant people spend far too much time searching for moments to be ignorant. Enjoying your content. Keep it up 👍 Good luck hunting!
Enjoy your outdoor chainsawing fuel wood videos. You have developed excellent technigues in cutting and loading. Only those experienced will see the ease of your knowledge while working in the bush on rough ground. We burn wood as a primary heat source for our house way up here in Ontario. Enjoy those late autumn days with snow falling while cutting fuel wood for the following year. Seeing deer and turkeys provides an extra bonus to the day. Wishing you and your family all the best and good health. Bill.
David, you should listen to what your body is telling you. I don’t know how old you are but I bet you want to do this for another 35-40 years. It is time to plan on work that won’t tear up your body. That will let you continue to enjoy the things you love to do for a lot longer. At 63 years old I have 1 knee replacement and the other one need to be replaced. This leaves me with little prospects to continue working at the things I love.
I’m sorry to hear that my friend and I will do my very best to keep my body as good as possible! Thanks for the love and support we appreciate you very much my friend
As far the stories go; just you keep right on telling them David, because it’s some of the most honest and entertaining I’ve heard. And you’re right about the permit/stealing part. Why WOULD anyone put that kind of stuff up on utube? Answer: because some folks are just THAT STUPID! I’ve seen many people doing many stupid things and getting busted over $20.00 all the time. Living life honestly is an equivalent to making more money because you’re not constantly looking over your shoulder or worrying about have I done this or that; a man can go into with his head held high and his chest puffed out and NO ONE can take him down! If he does it the WRONG WAY then he can never be proud, never holding his head up, never having his chest puffed out! That’s the difference. 👍
I feel ya bro that's why I don't make Videos of me cutting firewood also I have my own firewood company. I rock firewood in New Mexico. Here's a big demand there's good money in it. That's why I don't make any videos.
hey David, love your channel man, can I please make a comment on your shoulders , the Fiskar may be a great splitter, but the handle will be shocking your shoulders. Try going back to a good old proven hickory handle they have great shock absorbing property's. Don't end up like me with both shoulders replaced. Again enjoy your style keep it up, Cheers Mark
Great video! Question for ya relates to hunting. Are you subject to the state commission laws if they end up eliminating bear and cougar hunting in Washington state or will the tribe be able to hunt them still? The assault on hunting in this state has gotten out of control. I plan on attending the session in Olympia on October 27 to help ensure that hunters are represented and let them know we won’t back down. Wish they held east side meetings so those of us over here didn’t need to travel as far but I’m sure that’s by design. Also they held the meeting in the middle of black tail season for the west side guys. Hope you have a great season!
@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie makes sense, i figured that was the case but don’t know anyone else who is part of the reservation system. Glad you guys get to avoid at least a bit of the political shitstorm this had turned into.
do you have a 1 o'clock cut off time because of forest fires. and yes I would rather cut alone also but there is a couple people I don't mind cutting with because they started cutting when I did back in the seventies. be safe out there, take care
David it's amazing how everyone becomes an expert to the law and firewood cutting when they don't even understand what a two cycle engine is,you know what forest said, stupid is as stuiped dose
Isn’t it tho!? Lmao oh yeah they are professional sitting on the couch watching lol I wish they would video them selves and put it up for me to watch 😉😅
Man I am very sorry to hear this! We will pray that you don’t have much pain and can recover as best as possible my friend take care we wish you good health and happiness
Hell yeah. Looking forward too hunting this year. 1st year for the kids too come rifle season for whitetail and mule deer. The cortisone shots aren't good for you. I have too get simular nerve blocker injections and nerve burning done every month and sign a waiver 🤦
David I don't like your videos.....I love your videos dude please keep them coming. I'm working on getting caught up on all of them. What exactly is tamarack
Thank you very much my friend we love and appreciate you very much! Tamarack is “western larch” but when it dies it’s called “tamarack” just a super straight grain amazing burning wood! Probably my all time favorite
Oh man. The shots .... there not good at all. They gust numb the pain. ... get them fixed David. You have a long life ahead of you. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Nothing I just don’t want to change hauling a full load on the ford off that supper steep road I don’t have the best breaks on it and it took my 13 years to buy that truck I don’t want to send it off the side of a mountain lol
Thanks brother we appreciate all your support and everything you do for our whole community!!! You are one of a kind brother and I am honored to call you that word! “Brother” ✊🏽 your a great man and anyone ever says otherwise send them my way I will make them appreciate life 😉😂
The ones always trying to say stupid junk about things you do that are totally legal are just idiots. Don't let them get at ya Dave. They are just test tube experiments gone wrong 👍 I hope to see some more live chats at night again. I haven't seen any for a while, so I'm not sure if you been doing them. I hope you and your family are doing great ! Can't wait to see some hinting videos if you make some. Especially Elk hunting buddy. Happy Trails until next time.
Great video Mountain Man. Love the stories and the peace on the mountain. Lovin it. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
His name is David. Just sayin 😊
Thanks taz! Much love brother

Thanks David for the trip to the woods

None of state rules apply to tribal ground that’s why we are able to run hounds and trap still… yeah WA STATE has gotten way outta hand

do you have a 1 o'clock cut off time because of forest fires. and yes I would rather cut alone also but there is a couple people I don't mind cutting with because they started cutting when I did back in the seventies. be safe out there, take care
Yup because of fire season and the high possibility of starting one while it’s hot
The nay sayers can go to he'll. Your a awesome hard working rare young man. Keep on keeping on. God bless ya
Thanks brother much appreciated! We wish you good health and happiness
From experience...the more cortisone shots you get, the less effective they are.
Thanks bill idk if they are helping or not but i don’t think I am ever getting them again
If they're effective at all, didn't do anything for my back
filing 7 strokes then 4 strokes will make teeth different lengths.
No ear muffs?
It don’t matter what you file as long as the rakers are the same and I wear earplugs
David it's amazing how everyone becomes an expert to the law and firewood cutting when they don't even understand what a two cycle engine is,you know what forest said, stupid is as stuiped dose
Isn’t it tho!? Lmao oh yeah they are professional sitting on the couch watching lol I wish they would video them selves and put it up for me to watch 😉😅

Thanks my friend for the support!!! We wish you good health and happiness! Much love from the MTN LIFE FAM!
I recently tore my labrum. The shots didn't work long for me. Had 3 surgeries and still not right. My labrum may never work the way it did.
Man I am very sorry to hear this! We will pray that you don’t have much pain and can recover as best as possible my friend take care we wish you good health and happiness
Hell yeah. Looking forward too hunting this year. 1st year for the kids too come rifle season for whitetail and mule deer. The cortisone shots aren't good for you. I have too get simular nerve blocker injections and nerve burning done every month and sign a waiver 🤦
