  • I cut some more firewood rounds today so that I could split them up and keep my wood boiler fed. Temps have been in the mid 20's to low 30's this week and it is shaping up to be a mild winter so far. I also stopped by the stihl dealer this morning and am sporting a stihl 461 firewood slayer chainsaw for my cutting today.
    Equipment list :
    Bobcat e35 excavator with thumb
    One balding middle aged man
    Stihl 461 firewood slayer chainsaw

      You've got an even bigger saw then. I really enjoy the firewood thing. It's been my main hobby this fall and winter

    Awesome, that saw is a beast. If your cutting big wood like that, you might as well have a saw that can do the job. There's nothing better than watching fire wood videos. lol. Please keep them coming.

      @@survivingcountrylife7069 wanted to compliment you on your new purchase, but all your viewers beat me to it. Whish I had a hat like that, my 2 Cabela's hats need an oil change. I don,t do videos so I can get them dirty and can,t see them while I work. They feel better that way. Nice saw, nice pick. I have an 036 that outlasted my Dad, and I would bet money that it will outlast me, and I would bet money it will outlast my son too.

      @@edzeigler1164 this has been a wonderful saw for me so far. Its got all the snort I need for anything I've cut so far. May play around someday and get a little longer bar for it just for felling vigger stuff but I probably don't really need it

    What size bar is on that 461, looks like a 24. Looks like it means business. It,s been 4 days now sense I cut wood. I got a new 20 inch bar and chain for my Husqvarna 550 xp. It had a factory 18 on it but I could tell it was a little short because I was bumping the tip on brush and tops. Boy what a difference that 2 inches made, and I made 3 cuts in a 22 inch log and the saw had plenty of power to handle that 20 inch bar. You said you don,t know what you are doing and are not a pro, but I beg to differ. Looks to me like you do a fine job with all the equipment and the camera. Real good job and real good videos.

      Surviving Country Life Well, let her know when you are going to have an accident so she can record it.
      Is anyone depending on you? How are you going to split wood if you are laid up?
      Google how long it takes to bleed out if you cut your femoral artery.
