There are always people who love to spread negativity. Doug and Ashley I said it before y'all such a power couple and it always amazes me of how much y'all taught yourselves to fix, build etc and just get the job done !!!
That mower is like they used to say about a Timex watch, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! One tough mower, looking great with all your hard work! ❤
"You're FREE! You're FREE!" “Get outta here ya dumb tree!” That was so funny, thanks for the belly laugh. :D So many things to like and enjoy in this video. The music really fit the action. Amazing transformation taking place. Another great day out in the country, OITC.
Yeah - I love that part - like from Ole Yellar or Lassie - crack me up. I love these folks - who the hell gives them a thumbs down? Anyone who does should instantly be pulverized and disappear in a puff of smoke (while contributing $20 to the channel).
Doug, Ashley great job which shows your persistence and ingenuity. I was one of the subscribers who recommended a wedge. It appeared to me in the video that your bar was pinched by the tree. Regardless if you have an electric or gas chainsaw it is what is best for you as the user. I use my Husqvarna 42 inch mower like a little bush hog and it works great. I admit I have to sharpen/replace my blades often when I do this. I have areas similar to you that are thick with brush that are 2 to 3 inches thick. It is so thick that I can't move around safely with my chainsaw. I then use my reciprocating saw. I use a mulching/ pruning blade. Please keep up the great work. Don't worry about what others think, your persistence and dedication will pay off in the end.
You should never have to explain what you use for keeping your property! Is the job getting done ✅ . Keep up the amazing job. I see pride in your property. Hard working family.
Some people have the need to talk down to other people to try and make up for their own shortcomings.i have an electric chainsaw and it did the same thing and i have fell trees all my adult life. Dont let ignorant people get you down. You are doing a great job... They are jealous of your achievements. God Bless.
Don’t worry about explaining to trolls. You guys do great.my husband has used chain saws for many years and he has been in the chainsaw crews for disaster relief- he likes your saw and is interested in it. Some people always have to be critical. Ignore them is my suggestion. You are hard workers.
I just happened upon your vids last week and am completely hooked!!! I'm continuously watching them! I'm just a regular old broad, yet I get so much joy in watching you guys! I absolutely love the way you two work together! You compliment each other so well!! Lovely little, simple non materialistic family!! Thanks a bunch!! Xoxo
It never fails to amaze me how heavy wood can be ... as far as comments: take what fits and leave the rest ... cutting to the chase, any outright meanness or nastiness isn't worth your time and energy ... however, I think more often than not, folks make suggestions or critiques with the best intentions; but you are ones on site and make the final decisions ... just keep doing what you are doing but with a hefty amount of caution ... everyone starts somewhere and you guys are doing great ... and sometimes you can get some really good advice. Amazed to see how that old mower cut through those high weeds. Who knew you were going to give new life to a mower with the heart of a Bush Hog; also, I now have a new-found respect for an Element.
your little boy is so cute! I have twin 2 yr old boys myself. y'all should be very proud of yourselves. whoever is lucky enough to buy your house is def gonna get there moneys worth.
you guys should consider moving to North or south Carolina. I live in sc. I think y'all would find an awesome old house that just needs a little love and get it for cheap down here. good luck on where ever you end up. in sure whatever happens y'all will do great
Rockin' it through the weeds and brush on a riding mower! I've literally done exactly that. Logged 100's of hours. Virtually anything the mower can push down, the blades can chop up! Hopefully this mower made it to the new place. Queen Ashley can have a good time grinding up weeds and brush in your new field.
Haters are alway gonna hate - can't believe how negative people are. Just keep shining - you guys are great! Such a fun video again! This mower is powerful - I really thought it was gonna give up! Love your sunhats, Ashley and Belle - So cute! 🌞👍
We love your videos, and don’t let the negative posts get to you, you two are inspiring to watch, keep up the great videos, we too have been living the simple life for over 20 years and everyday we learn something new, just watching your videos has taught us new things and inspired us on new projects. Thanks for sharing your world with us:)
Everyone has experienced chainsaw issues - anyone who has used a chainsaw has had them jam and stuck in wood. Most serious "chainsawers" often have more than one on hand for this reason. Don't take these comments personally and spend time addressing them...it is a topic similar to people who like Chevy trucks and all other brands are "not trucks." I do not know why people make such comments. I have a 14 year old Toyota that has literally been in the shop ONE time for a sensor and my friends always rip me on driving a Toyota. My friends give me a hard time about owning a Toyota but then complain about all the problems they have with their vehicles on a regular basis. One just has to not react to such comments. Keep the chainsaw - it is low maintenance.
You guys work so hard I LOVE it shows you have a love for your property. The haters don't pay them any attention! You guy's are the BEST!! Your place it so beautiful! Country living is the best!!
This is not telling you what to do... But... If you address the trolls, the trolls win. And they will double down on their trolling. Ignore the trolls. Remove their fuel.
I have a gas chainsaw and a battery operated pole saw and leaf blower/mulcher. I would much rather have battery operated tools, it's just much easier to handle in my opinion. However, the smell of gas exhaust and wood chips has a unique aroma that electric tools just can't give me haha.
Go to a scrap yard Doug and get a old trunk or hood from a older car they usually work great for skidding like you are doing now and probably pick it up cheap.
You are right cutting trees down on your property in an open area is not an art. If your felling a 70 to 80 foot pine tree to an exact spot then, yes. If your chainsaw works for you and is comfortable to you...then it is exactly the right one.... *edit* It may have been the camera angle, but it looked like your chain was really tight on the bar (thinking about the nose sprocket blowing out.)
Ignore the trolls who think they know every damn thing about every damn thing....you know more about stuff than anyone I have every seen. People are are idiots!
The average econo-chain saw would never have lasted as long as yours. I'm with you on you've made a good choice! replacing chains and bars is part of the maintenance of any chain saw.
Today score Doug 3 Stump 0!Lol!!Silver bullet is a beast!You can not leave him behind when you move he is to valuable!!Ashley the snake🐍 charmer!Nice!Looking great👍
I agree with commenter jackie b *"As always your use of good sense is right on point."* And as Marc A G said, a car hood or trunk lid makes a great sled for hauling. It's also fun to slide down hills on one!
Haters are not worth the time it takes to acknowledge them....we pulled all our huge stumps with my Jeep the same way....you have to have a little bit of fun while working ! I enjoyed watching another great video !!!!
We just got a used Husky riding mower to hopefully clean up our new to us 19 acre plot in Alabama! Got it free not running, put a $23 carp/spark plug kit on it and fresh gas and its ALIVE! WOOHOO!
My dad was a logger in Maine his whole life. He use to yard (haul) the whole tree with a draft horse so the Element should have no problem. Of course he a wiffle trees and chains on the horse harness.
That mower is savage, unbelievable what you can get through with it. Look after it Doug ,I’m guessing the plan would be to leave it with the new owners you wouldn’t be able to take it with you, such a crying shame but it is what it is.
Why can't they take it with them. They hauled it home in the Element, made the repairs and got it running. Here's the link for that video. ua-cam.com/video/qrpHgDHbZLY/v-deo.html I would think they plan to take it with them, especially since it has been such a great mower. Even if they get another one it never hurts to have a spare. We own 3, one is our first riding mower, that does need repairs but is a awesome mower when it's running. I have my mower that I prefer and my husband has his. They were all bought used but with maintenance will last for many years.
Great video.....you guys are doing a fabulous job! Those railroad ties are very, very old....I can tell by the type/shape of saw marks on them. I couldn't purchase this property....I'm deathly afraid of snakes!
You shouldn’t feel like you have to explain yourselves to posters. I may ask a question, but more to educate myself on things ... who am I to be critical of anyone else Keep doing YOUR things if they work for you. And if not, you’ve learned something.
Those trees you see in pictures....those were trimmed by tree trimming artists, who spent MANY years trimming trees and passed an extremely hard test about every layer and aspect of a tree to secure a license. Which allows anyone who is hired by that company to trim under that one license, and yes they hand out chainsaws on the first day and put them on top of a dump truck to cut down the brush. Ahhhh....the nightmares. Anyway....back to reality, anyone can tell the difference between a tree done by an artist and every other tree out there
I love electric saws. They are nicer to use. Only thing I wish is the batteries last longer. Last one I used non stop the charge lasted around 30 minutes like yours. I'd love one that will last at least an hour.
wow! the snakes in my region I live in Australia , are highly venomous, I had a brown snake inside my house a few years back, that was very scary, I plugged the gap where my wall had dropped, that was a pretty interesting day for your family, praying for a good hatch on your eggs, take care, really enjoy you sharing, yeah! pretty cool sun-hat Doug,
12:36! wow. I have a 1/4 acre in south central florida that looks mostly like this that I would love to clear on the cheap. basically want two 8' paths into a 60x60 clearing . I worry pushing through like that is going to surface bees, snakes and ants. What could a pro charge to do this work?
As soon as i saw those old railway wood stacks i was like 'great snake habitat good thing they dont live in australia' and then when belle said 🐍🐍🐍 my heart about jumped out of my chest. Thank-god it wasnt venomous though i'm not sure if you have any in your area but with snakes as far as im concerned its guilty until proven innocent.😱😱😱 They are pretty and i wish we had harmless ones here but sadly not. Just the super agressive deadly ones... 😭😭😭 Also this video was super fun i love the longer more nature outdoor orientated ones. 💖 Even if it is mainly mowing haha looks so fun though and the greenery is very soul soothing 😊
Hahaha, good call on thinking they'd be good snake homes. That didn't even cross my mind until after the snake was in the car. We do have venomous snakes here in Northern Indiana, but they are super rare. Most of the time we only see the good ones - garters and little brown snakes.
Your videos are so entertaining, enlightening and inspiring. You guys have accomplished so much; in Kokomo and now here on your much larger, formerly neglected property. Just forget about the self-appointed "experts" and the haters. It's *"Element-ary"* you guys know how to get the most out of the *tools* you have. :P
What a great video!! So much happening. And we are starting to see more of Doug’s sense of humor. He cracks me up!
There are always people who love to spread negativity. Doug and Ashley I said it before y'all such a power couple and it always amazes me of how much y'all taught yourselves to fix, build etc and just get the job done !!!
I don’t feel like a man is how he treats his tools, I believe a man is how he treats his wife and children, and your doing a great job.
Wow the ride on mower sure got a workout, that thing is a workhorse! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Where there's a will there's a way!! Enjoyed the log moving!! You guys work hard.... believe you know what you're doing.
That mower is like they used to say about a Timex watch, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! One tough mower, looking great with all your hard work! ❤
You two are super powers, such an inspiration to see. Thanks for sharing your very rich lives with us and thank you for the great background music.
So love the reference to a sad "release"movie😂, W-O-W for the mower and the Element! Y'all really got after it ,great work👏❤
"You're FREE! You're FREE!" “Get outta here ya dumb tree!” That was so funny, thanks for the belly laugh. :D So many things to like and enjoy in this video. The music really fit the action. Amazing transformation taking place. Another great day out in the country, OITC.
Yeah - I love that part - like from Ole Yellar or Lassie - crack me up. I love these folks - who the hell gives them a thumbs down? Anyone who does should instantly be pulverized and disappear in a puff of smoke (while contributing $20 to the channel).
ohhhh soooo much work for you guys, but you go full speed ahead. Love your motivation. xx
You two are amazing..hard workers..keep doing what you do .forget the haters and know it all's...💪✌
Doug, Ashley great job which shows your persistence and ingenuity. I was one of the subscribers who recommended a wedge. It appeared to me in the video that your bar was pinched by the tree.
Regardless if you have an electric or gas chainsaw it is what is best for you as the user. I use my Husqvarna 42 inch mower like a little bush hog and it works great. I admit I have to sharpen/replace my blades often when I do this. I have areas similar to you that are thick with brush that are 2 to 3 inches thick. It is so thick that I can't move around safely with my chainsaw. I then use my reciprocating saw. I use a mulching/ pruning blade. Please keep up the great work. Don't worry about what others think, your persistence and dedication will pay off in the end.
You should never have to explain what you use for keeping your property! Is the job getting done ✅ . Keep up the amazing job. I see pride in your property. Hard working family.
“Get outta here ya dumb tree!” Priceless. 🎥😄
Cassity ART IKR. I literally LMBO.
You two are awesome!
Good job y’all! I love the “can do” spirit !
I used my riding lawn mower as a brush hog too. Worked great.
Some people have the need to talk down to other people to try and make up for their own shortcomings.i have an electric chainsaw and it did the same thing and i have fell trees all my adult life. Dont let ignorant people get you down. You are doing a great job... They are jealous of your achievements. God Bless.
Everyone's a backseat lumberjack lol. Doug I didn't know cutting down trees was an art form. That made me laugh.
That mower is a beast of a machine! Thanks for sharing.
Don’t worry about explaining to trolls. You guys do great.my husband has used chain saws for many years and he has been in the chainsaw crews for disaster relief- he likes your saw and is interested in it. Some people always have to be critical. Ignore them is my suggestion. You are hard workers.
I get tired watching you guys work so hard. What you get out of "less than heavy duty" or not "quite the right tool" is simply amazing. :-) XX
Now that's how you get things done with what you have. I couldn't believe that Bella handled the snake. Pretty cool Bella.
I just happened upon your vids last week and am completely hooked!!! I'm continuously watching them! I'm just a regular old broad, yet I get so much joy in watching you guys! I absolutely love the way you two work together! You compliment each other so well!! Lovely little, simple non materialistic family!! Thanks a bunch!! Xoxo
I do have a little hedgehog I'm sure Belle and possibly even Maverick would enjoy seeing videos of but I don't know how to do that 😞
You are doing great job
Give that lawn tractor a raise!!!
Christy Blodgett LMBO

Hopefully this mower made it to the new place. Queen Ashley can have a good time grinding up weeds and brush in your new field.
We left this mower at that property. We just had no way to bring it with us. But it was a beast for sure.
Haters are alway gonna hate - can't believe how negative people are. Just keep shining - you guys are great! Such a fun video again! This mower is powerful - I really thought it was gonna give up! Love your sunhats, Ashley and Belle - So cute! 🌞👍
We love your videos, and don’t let the negative posts get to you, you two are inspiring to watch, keep up the great videos, we too have been living the simple life for over 20 years and everyday we learn something new, just watching your videos has taught us new things and inspired us on new projects. Thanks for sharing your world with us:)
Thank you so much! It's so awesome that we have inspired you 😊
That mower is a beast!
It’s so nice to see people getting it done with what they have. The American frontier spirit seems to be alive here 😁

You guys work so hard I LOVE it shows you have a love for your property. The haters don't pay them any attention! You guy's are the BEST!! Your place it so beautiful! Country living is the best!!
That is one tuff little car. Log as big as the car.
This is not telling you what to do... But... If you address the trolls, the trolls win. And they will double down on their trolling. Ignore the trolls. Remove their fuel.
Chainsaw bars can seperate, it's a fact of life. You are doing a good job, some people want to be armchair quarterbacks. Keep fighting the good fight.
My mower is a 15 year old craftsman with a briggs enjine. Just now burning a little oil and mows great. Just keep the maintanance up on them
I wish I had a life partner like Ashly she is the best worker I have seen .
Great job guys! (also great job lawn mower!)
Love the back ground music!
I have a gas chainsaw and a battery operated pole saw and leaf blower/mulcher. I would much rather have battery operated tools, it's just much easier to handle in my opinion.
However, the smell of gas exhaust and wood chips has a unique aroma that electric tools just can't give me haha.
Go to a scrap yard Doug and get a old trunk or hood from a older car they usually work great for skidding like you are doing now and probably pick it up cheap.
Wow you guys have such a large property... Very happy with the progress and hope it sell fast and get more with the property
simply amazed at the mower. what a blessing.
You are right cutting trees down on your property in an open area is not an art. If your felling a 70 to 80 foot pine tree to an exact spot then, yes.
If your chainsaw works for you and is comfortable to you...then it is exactly the right one....
*edit* It may have been the camera angle, but it looked like your chain was really tight on the bar (thinking about the nose sprocket blowing out.)
What a great mower . Great progress.
People are just rude, your doing what you got to do keep it up!
Doug: “They don’t make pallets like they used to”. 😊 Really enjoying watching all your videos!!
Who needs a pick up when you've got an Element?! 😉
Thanks for the riding mower part! Going to try this on my property. Thank you!!!!!
Ignore the trolls who think they know every damn thing about every damn thing....you know more about stuff than anyone I have every seen. People are are idiots!
Amen!
The average econo-chain saw would never have lasted as long as yours. I'm with you on you've made a good choice! replacing chains and bars is part of the maintenance of any chain saw.
ignore the haters or people that think they know better. you guys are amazing dont forget that.
Today score Doug 3 Stump 0!Lol!!Silver bullet is a beast!You can not leave him behind when you move he is to valuable!!Ashley the snake🐍 charmer!Nice!Looking great👍
I agree with commenter jackie b *"As always your use of good sense is right on point."* And as Marc A G said, a car hood or trunk lid makes a great sled for hauling. It's also fun to slide down hills on one!
I love how you tell the haters how it is! You guys rock like I've said before if only more people were like you guys!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
That mower is like a tank. keep the blades sharpen
They could use sharpening for sure. I wish they made them easier to get to though.
Haters are not worth the time it takes to acknowledge them....we pulled all our huge stumps with my Jeep the same way....you have to have a little bit of fun while working ! I enjoyed watching another great video !!!!
We just got a used Husky riding mower to hopefully clean up our new to us 19 acre plot in Alabama! Got it free not running, put a $23 carp/spark plug kit on it and fresh gas and its ALIVE! WOOHOO!
You guys make everything fun!
I want to know where Ashley got her hat. I LOVE IT!
I got it on Amazon :) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047NWLUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
My dad was a logger in Maine his whole life. He use to yard (haul) the whole tree with a draft horse so the Element should have no problem. Of course he a wiffle trees and chains on the horse harness.

We may be able to move with it, we'll see. It fits perfectly in the back of the Element. :)
Out in the Country I do hope you can take it
Great video.....you guys are doing a fabulous job! Those railroad ties are very, very old....I can tell by the type/shape of saw marks on them. I couldn't purchase this property....I'm deathly afraid of snakes!
love the vids as always , thanks for sharing
That mower sure is a brute! Great job clearing ! Ashley you're brave holding that snake hahaha 👍💛
13k subs........Way to go!
Thanks!!
You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Congratulation on 13k sub....you guys are killin it and dont pay attention to haters.
You shouldn’t feel like you have to explain yourselves to posters.
I may ask a question, but more to educate myself on things ... who am I to be critical of anyone else
Keep doing YOUR things if they work for you.
And if not, you’ve learned something.
Where did Ashley get that hat, I love it! I need it!
I got mine on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0047NWLUI/ref=twister_B077TCFS97?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Tractor Supply is selling Sloggers hats as well now :)
That mower works as hard as you guys.
I need to get a used rider with an electric start. Too weak to pull a rope to start. looks like so much fun! Bringing back memories! 😀👍
Love the team work 👍
Good job on the jungle doug Ashley will be kept busy with the trees it's quite a lot to tackle when I saw it I'm still running lol best wishes
Those trees you see in pictures....those were trimmed by tree trimming artists, who spent MANY years trimming trees and passed an extremely hard test about every layer and aspect of a tree to secure a license. Which allows anyone who is hired by that company to trim under that one license, and yes they hand out chainsaws on the first day and put them on top of a dump truck to cut down the brush. Ahhhh....the nightmares. Anyway....back to reality, anyone can tell the difference between a tree done by an artist and every other tree out there
Going to go through these berries and will probably get jammed up🤣nice!
I love electric saws. They are nicer to use. Only thing I wish is the batteries last longer. Last one I used non stop the charge lasted around 30 minutes like yours. I'd love one that will last at least an hour.
Brilliant job guys.. You two for sure are not workshy.
Holy comolies Doug!!
Just remember people love to be negative 😔 don't give them too much attention
Well said.
That’s what I use, a zero turn for 25 acres lol it works!
wow! the snakes in my region I live in Australia , are highly venomous, I had a brown snake inside my house a few years back, that was very scary, I plugged the gap where my wall had dropped, that was a pretty interesting day for your family, praying for a good hatch on your eggs, take care, really enjoy you sharing, yeah! pretty cool sun-hat Doug,
Great informative video!
The music accompanying the lawn mowing sounded adventurous - like Pirates Of The Caribbean. Intentional?
12:36! wow. I have a 1/4 acre in south central florida that looks mostly like this that I would love to clear on the cheap. basically want two 8' paths into a 60x60 clearing . I worry pushing through like that is going to surface bees, snakes and ants. What could a pro charge to do this work?
out in the field is a little grey bull...it eats and it eats and it never gets full...what is it's name: Cheap Riding Mower. amazing mowing...
I'm going to cut through the berries, I'm going to get "jammed up" ha ha ha ha
As always your use of good sense is right on point.
Did this and set the grass on fire do no recommend if too dry
Great work guys
Thank you
I’d mow the negativity and burn them with the rest of the brush. Easy to block them if need be too 💪👍
'cutting a tree with a chainsaw is an art form' lol
Make sure you hard workers take much needed breaks. :)
As soon as i saw those old railway wood stacks i was like 'great snake habitat good thing they dont live in australia' and then when belle said 🐍🐍🐍 my heart about jumped out of my chest.
Thank-god it wasnt venomous though i'm not sure if you have any in your area but with snakes as far as im concerned its guilty until proven innocent.😱😱😱
They are pretty and i wish we had harmless ones here but sadly not.
Just the super agressive deadly ones... 😭😭😭
Also this video was super fun i love the longer more nature outdoor orientated ones.
💖
Even if it is mainly mowing haha looks so fun though and the greenery is very soul soothing 😊
Hahaha, good call on thinking they'd be good snake homes. That didn't even cross my mind until after the snake was in the car. We do have venomous snakes here in Northern Indiana, but they are super rare. Most of the time we only see the good ones - garters and little brown snakes.
Where there,s a will there's a way x
Your videos are so entertaining, enlightening and inspiring. You guys have accomplished so much; in Kokomo and now here on your much larger, formerly neglected property. Just forget about the self-appointed "experts" and the haters. It's *"Element-ary"* you guys know how to get the most out of the *tools* you have. :P
