    This guy is the real deal. You make the best logging videos on UA-cam, and I watch a lot of logging videos. It won’t be long and this channel is gonna blow up. I like how you explain things and get the camera up close and show exactly what you are doing. Stay safe and good luck. Can’t wait for the next one.

    I can remember when I was about 10 years old. I started helping a guy down the road from me. His name was Hoyt Craig. He was clearing land. So I started helping him. And he asked me how that I would like to start helping him cut firewood. I said yes that would be great. So it got into my blood. And now I'm 51 years old and still cutting it. I tried other things but kept going back to firewood. I've worked at a sawmill for about 5 years. But went back to firewood. I guess that I'll be cutting firewood until it's my time to leave this world. Gotta love it

    New subscriber here from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦. I love cutting wood seasonal and logs at times. Been at it for 35 years. Miss the days with my father when I was young.

    I notice the trees fall gently and stay put in relation to the stump and do not bounce all over with your bore cutting technique. Good job!👍

    Chains on rear would make a world of difference. I'm a fan of the single diamond u grip chains. Nice skidder too even though it's got the noisy Detroit

    I also stared out at a young age. Bought my first cable skidder at 19. Later made a move to a forwarder at 21. And from there on to harvesters. Was a good run. Now at 51 years old I just enjoy going to the woods with my saw and little two cord forwarder. Such a good life if you can get it. Great video!

    Well said, and well done! I used to perform Pre-Commercial Thinning Contracts in Colorado in my younger years, which taught me a lot. Am in my 30th year of processing and selling hardwood firewood in my spare time as a side hustle, which I love doing. As you said, a talent being put to use to help others.

    I agree 💯 that we should all do our love and follow our calling. I have done firewood my whole life and full time with a legit business since 2016 and I can't imagine doing anything different. It's hard honest work that just plain makes me happy.berry glad I found your channel as I like your views.
