Yeh, my Mrs absolutely loves her! I write down the videos and times she is on so that Mrs can skip the "wood, tools and professional homeowner stuff" and see the Sweatloaf.
I watch that and think oh my. If one of my kids did that I may have reacted poorly thinking about the work it creates for me or my wife. This was a good reminder for me to let my kids be kids. Not 40 year olds. Lol. Jesus bless you all today!!
It’s down to the driver, hydraulics are amazingly sensitive. We used a backhoe driver for water main repairs because he could feel other stuff like cables. We never had any collateral damage when he was driving.
My dad cut a tree back when my grandpa was still working some and grandpa and my uncle couldn't get the log loaded. They told dad when he came in from cutting at the end of the day, "We are leaving that big one, you can't load it." Wrong thing to tell dad. The uncle and grandpa went home and dad got it loaded by himself. In those days that one log was a load on their log truck. Now my uncle was quite windy and the last time I heard him tell the story he told "yea, that log was so big we had to trim it on each side so that it was narrow enough to go down the road." If you'd like a picture let me know and I'll send it your way. Mom took one when dad got home from the woods. Oh yea, it was an oak, I believe white.
And westerners, and pilots, truckers, equipment operators.......unless you're actually using blocks for your chocks. .....then I guess you might call 'em blocks. :-)
@Wranglerstar. Thank you Cody and Jack (with cameos from Mrs. W and the Sweetloaf). Good call Jack about not driving that loaded trailer. A man has to know his limitations. You have a great teacher and father. You and your family are in my daily prayers. Stay safe and well.
Not just watching him grow up, but watching him grow up to be a decent and confident young man. There's no greater gift to the future than teaching your son how to be a good man.

As a flatbed truck driver for the last 33 years I have found the best place for those snap binders is the scrap pile. They can hurt you. Get some good ratchet binders.
Cody, I had to comment on the patience and the teacher mentality you showed working with Jack. Not to say he's incompetent I just know the frustration working with someone still learning and not as experienced as you therefore not as fast and smooth as working with someone equally as experienced. 👏. I just wished I had a dad growing up with trade skills. Jack's a lucky son even if he doesnt feel itnow. .
A video of that mill would be great. I went through a pellet production facility in Walden Colorado when it was down for maintenance and it was quite a technological plant. All the wood came from beetle kill in the high country. Keep up the good work Cody.
As someone who has had to buy new tires multiple times because I picked up a screw or nail I can appreciate the inclination to pick those up off the ground so that no one runs them over.
Keep listening kid, this all feels way close to home as my father used to try and inform me about everything, I lost him about 4 years ago now and I am 19 trying my hardest to learn everything I missed out on.
Someone give Cody the most patient father of the year award 😂. Reminds me of doing anything with my dad, there’s always a lesson to be learned when working with dad.
Your son effort on the binder: I think I wasn't alone in mentally helping him get that sucker closed! Way to go! And your little girl is such a cutie! Love the content!
It's exactly how to teach a kid, asking him what the size of the ball was is really amazing to me the fact that the dad didn't just do it on his own. W Wranglerstar
man the northwest is the prettiest place on the planet. im from the yamhill in oregon and i never get tired of the green hills. i even love the rain. and the timber industry is truly amazing
one of your best videos in long time. Interesting to see stuff like a logging business that most of us could never get close to. I noticed jack seems to be involved in a lot of your videos lately, thats good thing. There was a time where it was just you, not sure if it took Jack awhile to gain interest in what you do, but glad he finally came around. You have a wealth of knowledge upstairs, take it and copy it into Jacks brain. Skills he can use for a lifetime.
Henry Ford built his first automobile and parked it outside, wondering how he would call the creation, and a crow flew over his head and landed on it, shouting "Car! Car!" ?
Having no knowledge of the price of lumber bought this way, I went back and rewatched the $$ amount to try and figure out if he meant board foot or lbs. Lbs didn't make any sense because you would pay more for wet wood. Thanks for clarification of what he meant.
One way how you can get big logs out of the trailer is chaining one end to tree or something that is very sturdy and just drive forward, with the biggest one you can try to rool it to one side of the trailer put some round sticks on free side and roll it back on the sticks, then it will come out easier..(if you dont have any other solution)

There's a reason why you can hardly find the lever style binders anymore. They're seriously dangerous, and much harder to tighten than the ratchet style.
Awesome video - here is a sad fact, a person used to be able in almost every state to sit for a professional engineering license once they have achieved a minimum of time in the industry (i believe 10 years). Going to engineering college for 4 years equated to this. Now, in most states, they have removed this component for sitting for a engineering license. Yet most parts of engineering has NOT changed like mechanical, civil, chemical etc. And when I received my engineering degree, I still used tables for thermodynamics, hydraulics, gear ratios, etc. using the tables helped you visualize how the inputs and outputs were related. Now, they teach putting a number in a program only to have a number spit out. Yet this is better? It is sad that there is an over devaluation of the apprenticeship and of the journeyman.
It gets worse with the demise of the 5 year program now they want to make the requirement a masters plus 4 years. The 4 year programs arent as broad based as the 5 year the chem ag mechanical and electrical dont get geoolgy and they dont need to have a thesis. While I could get by borrowing my grandfathers mechanical handbook out on the farm with no internet, today the answers get spit out of an app. Some of the numerical methods in apps are very cool though. Glad to be rid of hand lettering and hand drafting though they can come in handy for a quick field sketch.

Dang, man. The end of the video was so sweet. Living the dream, sir. My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years now. I just had surgery to try IVF but no luck. We have a little girl who's 8 from my wife's last relationship, she's mine now and watching you and your family is just a blessing. We'll continue to pray for a miracle.

I've been having trouble getting it loaded this evening, and there's no content since 2 days ago. Are they under attack? (i.e. DDoS?) Also, the Wranglestar link to their Tumblr account isn't working.
How simple and wonderful. “I need some hot co co, with marshmallows, and cookies and a warm blanket and cartoons” That dear friends sounds like heaven.
I thought about this for a while and this is the best I could come up with. I don't know what kind of equipment you have to work with, but the only way I can think of to get those logs off the trailer (safely and without damaging anything) is to use a hydraulic jack. The logs are hanging off the back of the trailer, so you should be able to lift them up enough to get rollers or something with wheels underneath. Then get a chain around that end and secure it to something that isn't going to move, and slowly drive the truck out from under the log, ideally putting something underneath the log as you go that will let you move it to wherever you're going to process it.
Thanks for all your videos! Been watching since I was 17. I now work at one of the largest sawmills in the U.S. up in Mason County WA. If you ever want a tour just let me know!
Should have explained liquid transporting when explaining getting the load as low as possible. With liquid its far more important to get as low as possible and not do any sudden moves. One other thing i noticed was the way the chains were hooked to the trailer over the top of the sides. If the sides were to break or even crack those chains would be loose. I realize you werent going far but its something to consider when securing any load.
Yet another video uploaded containing something educational a little humor and always clean I'll say it again like I said before it really doesn't matter what you upload it's always good content God bless.
Like he said always good content. Cant wait for the specific mill episode if any. Currently a commercial fisherman in Cali, ready to leave the state and looking into lumber industry jobs. On a side note I recently inherited an older craftsman axe head. Maybe a boys axe from the 60-70’s. Would you recommend restoring that or investing in a new GFB axe
When securing a load like this, either use the d-rings inside, or pull the boards to secure outside. You're relying on the stakes and boards to hold the load. Neither of which are rated or designed to withstand force in that direction.
That little darling is constant entertainment! She is just precious. That running barefoot in the puddles reminds me of the flooding in the streets when I was a kid, after a strong rain. We once had a neighbor canoeing down our streets after a huge storm rainfall. I have lots of memories from that place.
35 nails in a U-HAUL Rental in Jacksonville, FL. last year! LOL literally... funny you should mention that small gift of finding the nail before your tire does!! Gir-r-done! My friend was inside renting and I was outside in disbelief as I kept finding & picking up nails right where I just drove into the parking lot
Just a suggestion the access chain you can wrap around the handles of the binders. It kind of reassures the handles don't pop just in case the chain might loosen. That's something as a truck driver doing flatbed I was taught.
Great advice @23:20!! I was helping someone chain down a backhoe and he had a cheater pipe on the binder to get it "extra" tight. It slipped off and the pressure from the binder flung the pipe up into his face completely shattering his nose. It was horrific to say the least. Thank god he didn't pass out so he could get himself into the truck (he was 3 times my size) and I was able to get him to the emergency room.
That little girl steals the show every time😁.

It’s down to the driver, hydraulics are amazingly sensitive. We used a backhoe driver for water main repairs because he could feel other stuff like cables. We never had any collateral damage when he was driving.
He could have done the same with the smaller log if put on first. No biggie. Good operators are hard to come by.

Shrewd businessmen. They toss bird seed and birds on the logs and make you splash around in the mud before you scale out to add weight.
birds find insects in the bark of trees?

Ah yes, The butterfly effect!

RED2: comms blackout
I'm glad to see you on parler. God bless
Download the api on your desktop and save it so you can give it directly to people who need it.
Edit: I meant the APK
Oops :)
I've been having trouble getting it loaded this evening, and there's no content since 2 days ago. Are they under attack? (i.e. DDoS?)
Also, the Wranglestar link to their Tumblr account isn't working.
How simple and wonderful.
“I need some hot co co, with marshmallows, and cookies and a warm blanket and cartoons”
That dear friends sounds like heaven.
Seeing how Cody and Jack interact gives me hope. My oldest boy is similar to Jack in the way he acts. Love it. Blessings
A wee hint of 'doting parents' with Sweet Loaf; but, alas, "Spoilin' is lovin' 💖 🤠
Birds going for insects on the side that the log was resting on the ground is my guess. Looking forward to your upcoming logging mill videos.
I thought about this for a while and this is the best I could come up with. I don't know what kind of equipment you have to work with, but the only way I can think of to get those logs off the trailer (safely and without damaging anything) is to use a hydraulic jack. The logs are hanging off the back of the trailer, so you should be able to lift them up enough to get rollers or something with wheels underneath. Then get a chain around that end and secure it to something that isn't going to move, and slowly drive the truck out from under the log, ideally putting something underneath the log as you go that will let you move it to wherever you're going to process it.
Thanks for all your videos! Been watching since I was 17. I now work at one of the largest sawmills in the U.S. up in Mason County WA. If you ever want a tour just let me know!
Fork truck with a claw on it. Would be fun running that all day.
Jack is a good lad! You are a good teacher!
Thanks Jack for the great camera work! Looking forward to a Mill tour !
Should have explained liquid transporting when explaining getting the load as low as possible. With liquid its far more important to get as low as possible and not do any sudden moves. One other thing i noticed was the way the chains were hooked to the trailer over the top of the sides. If the sides were to break or even crack those chains would be loose. I realize you werent going far but its something to consider when securing any load.
Yet another video uploaded containing something educational a little humor and always clean I'll say it again like I said before it really doesn't matter what you upload it's always good content God bless.
Thank you Keever, this was a very kind comment,
Like he said always good content. Cant wait for the specific mill episode if any. Currently a commercial fisherman in Cali, ready to leave the state and looking into lumber industry jobs. On a side note I recently inherited an older craftsman axe head. Maybe a boys axe from the 60-70’s. Would you recommend restoring that or investing in a new GFB axe
Cody is in his element here. Obvious!
Oh yeah! A video of what goes on at that mill would be awesome!
When securing a load like this, either use the d-rings inside, or pull the boards to secure outside. You're relying on the stakes and boards to hold the load. Neither of which are rated or designed to withstand force in that direction.
Oh thank God, a break from politics 😂 - thank you
A high-pass audio filter would have been nice
I shot this entire video on my phone
That little darling is constant entertainment! She is just precious. That running barefoot in the puddles reminds me of the flooding in the streets when I was a kid, after a strong rain. We once had a neighbor canoeing down our streets after a huge storm rainfall. I have lots of memories from that place.
35 nails in a U-HAUL Rental in Jacksonville, FL. last year!
LOL literally... funny you should mention that small gift of finding the nail before your tire does!! Gir-r-done! My friend was inside renting and I was outside in disbelief as I kept finding & picking up nails right where I just drove into the parking lot
Just a suggestion the access chain you can wrap around the handles of the binders. It kind of reassures the handles don't pop just in case the chain might loosen. That's something as a truck driver doing flatbed I was taught.
Wish I had a dad like this as a kid. Thanks for all the knowledge!
great camera work by jack at 12:25 it looks so pristine with the big ol CAT the giant logs and the beautiful landscape in the background 👌
That's a beautiful pasture man. Really good views you got with the new place.
Great advice @23:20!! I was helping someone chain down a backhoe and he had a cheater pipe on the binder to get it "extra" tight. It slipped off and the pressure from the binder flung the pipe up into his face completely shattering his nose. It was horrific to say the least. Thank god he didn't pass out so he could get himself into the truck (he was 3 times my size) and I was able to get him to the emergency room.
