You're brother is a master of his craft....I could watch him all day... very methodical and precise. I've been cutting wood for over 45 years and have learned ALOT about technique from your brother too. Keep up the good work and stay safe and healthy guys. Regards, Tom Del Casale Excavating, NJ
I would have been done for the day when your brother said he was hungry. He had 5 trees on the ground already. That was a day, and to think he probably goes home and cuts and splits more wood!👏👏👏
I've had to watch this one in segments. Discovered I had an ice dam form on the roof line, so I've had to deal with that today. Whatever that machine is that delimbs and cuts the logs all in one shot is crazy! I could learn a lot from you two on all things tree work! Thanks for sharing!
Your brother seems like a great guy and this was a great way to document his story for all to see. I hope in the future he comes back to the channel but time is always in short supply. A day in his shoes would kill men a 3rd his age and he keeps on rockin. Keep the videos coming, this was a great one.
Tom and you have many guys like him that can do this every day and can give hands on lessons to the next generation all at the same time.. Really cool knowledge to me..
I live in Richland Center Wisconsin, my dads 1st saw an 18 inch Homlite my 1st saw, an 16 inch Johnsrud with a turbo, now I have a Husqvarna 435e 16 inch and love it!! Wood eating machines!!
I did some felling yesterday. It was big wood so i had to use a 26 inch bar. Im planning to split the wood next week. Im gussing i will get around 14 cubic meters or 4 full cords of firewood. Haha aren't we men so simple. You give us a chainsaw and a pile of logs and we are happy😁😁.
Greetings from Clinton, Arkansas! That's some awesome felling - and camera work! A lotta people don't realize the danger ain't over just cause the tree is down. I'm probably gonna be "puckered up" for an hour after seeing all the opportunities for injury and 'carnage' in this vid. WOW!
Morning Chris , from a bitter cold UK. Watch this video twice yesterday, I really enjoyed the banter between the pair of you, He is a non nonsense logger , just by the pace he works. Also very safety conscious, even when you were clattered by debris while filming. I hope you do take time out and make further videos. Yes I agree with your subscribers that he should either have a channel on UA-cam or collaborate with you. Best wishes to the all your family
Damn your logging back there is so different than here in Oregon. Still a cutter must be smart, bold and badassed to reach your brothers age and talent level! Enjoyed very much keep up the great work.
Your brother needs to start a UA-cam channel of his own hahaha!! Between your subtle and obscure references and his “rough around the edges” approach it’s a winning combination. I’d love to be around him when the camera isn’t on! Great team and another great video!
Thanks for a great piece of entertainment on a snowy Sunday morning. Your brother is a hoot. He is like Chris unfiltered. Those are definitely some big, ugly pines. I've always been a Stihl guy, but you guys put those Husqvarnas through their paces and they do a great job. Impressive day's work. You promised some hand filing and delivered.
Good video on some dangerous trees. I have 395xp worked out town for 6 years. Come home to soft to run it steady. Bought used 372 last year. Great saw way lighter.
Old field pines. Got plenty of that around our properties. Can't do anything with them around here unless you run chips. I gotta try and find a market for pine firewood, can only burn so much in the boiler
Hey Chris...I think your brother was in pure heaven, despite his negative comments about the task at hand. I like his "tell it like it is" approach. Will probably be some good deer cover there in a few years. I wonder if I could borrow that log processor for a few day?? (not really). Nice change-up to the firewood videos. Steve in PA
Thanks for that Steve, Ya Ken does that!! What ever is on his mind usually comes out, good or bad!! Ya that used to be good deer country until the wolves moved in!!
Ha. I always thought the one he referred to as blue beech was the iron wood. I see it all the time out in the Chequamegon National Forest in Taylor County. Good thing to know.
Logging all day with your brother looked like fun! Looks like your brother likes running his 372 a lot. I sure enjoy running mine too! I like that he has a 395 too, both great saws. It's cool seeing your brothers setup and his woodyard yesterday. Y'all both have a great system for producing! Also, congratulations on 5,000 subscribers! Well deserved, Chris!
Absolutely awesome video Chris. You two are both truly real deal Woodhounds!!!! I think your brother cut down more trees in this video than I have in a whole year🤣 Definitely a video full of satisfying wood action!! Any time you are visiting your brother please tape him🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing! GNI
Add a wiich to your trailer with a swing out crane to pick up the backbreakers. Then you will be able to harvest all your cuttings. If your splitter won’t handle the bigger rounds I highly recommend the eastonmade axis. It will easily split them to whatever size you want and it includes a log lifter to save your back.
Funny I figured that was the reason he doesn't carry an Axe. He moves pretty quick. It would just slow him down. I watched a bunch of your videos today. Loved them all. Dave from Ontario, Canada
I’m 20 min in and you guys sound like my uncles and cousins logging in Maine... same temps, same island of misfit toys trees but they curse a lot more than you dignified gents. Keep em comin’ I’d say
No, actually because I work outside almost every day I know how to dress and I have good gear, I was fine. My hands got a little cold when I had to take off my choppers to handle camera settings and battery changes though!
I NEVER watch videos this long because it's the same crap but alot of it. This video held my interest. Your brother is quite a character and a great arborist. I didn't think you could just video and not be in there cutting very good video
Wow Chris.. Where to begin.. Your brother has been doing this while you somehow got stuck inside with electronics. And now looking at both of you its paying off. I know I would nit be able to go but buckin stock is useally in September it would be awesome if both of you guys could get buckin for 1 hour.. Old school West Coast vs Midwest logging.. Was cool to see both of you having fun and time away from your daily grind to record..
Good question, besides weight to lug around, why such a short bar? I'd think that a 24in bar would be a good compromise between weight, handling of the saw, and cutting speed when deciding between 20in and 28in bars.
Most hand cutters do not like a long bar because of brush and managing it. 20-24" is normal here.Remember a 20" bar gets you a 40" cut, and that is a big tree. Ken says that a 20" bar will cut 98% of trees down around here.
Good video. Does your brother wear corks or traction soles. Just watching video I twisted my knees about a dozen times. Good thing you got a video of him on the JOB. What is his goal, how much longer does he want to do that Ugly Tree felling, Hope its is on his terms.
So all the ugly trees is for papermill and OSB siding? It looked cold out there, especially when your brother's head was steaming. Lol.. I had a good chuckle about the dirty crouch! Tha ks for the video!
Awesome footage, job well done !! With your other photography business, have you ever thought of getting a drone? Drone footage of the forest would be super cool. What part of northern Wisconsin are you in? Thanks
Dangerous work. That ugly wood sure is a pain in the ass. You guys sure know what you're doing. The way that first one came down I wonder what kind of language would be heard if it wasn't being filmed. Good way to get the demons out. Stay safe.
There's your processor Chris. Do you think the feller buncher could do 16"? Sure it's over kill but it has a heated cab for the winter and a/c for the summer... Unless it's really hold then the heat and a/c would be switched... Hope you aren't still feeling the widow maker... Glad it wasn't very big.
Ya, I could get it for about 75k it's about 20 years old and the new ones are a lot more! It was just a few branches! But it did get my attention for sure!!!!
Wow.. Like watching chain saw massacre. Wish I still had that amount of energy! Also, what is the model # on the orange measuring stick? Looks real handy and I'd like to pick one at Lowes. :)
Pretty slim pickings on the northeastern part of WI north of hwy 8 the last few years. Good to hear there are a few in other parts. Great content, its real footage with usefull info !
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Those were some of the ugliest white pines I've seen in a while. Made sense when he said that a tornado hit it back in the seventies. Your brother is quite the logger. What I wouldn't give to be back in the physical shape you two are. I miss being able to go out on a cold day like that and fell big monsters like them. Now days when I get In a stand of trees like those I usually take my harvester and work with the with the hand cutter. I will clean up around the tree for them and then put the cutting head against the tree and push them over to where we want them to go so they don't berry the piles that are already processed. Keeps the forwarder operator happy when he doesn't have to dig the wood out of the brush pile. The only thing I saw that made me a little nervous about the way your brother cuts is he leaves a lot of duchmans in his notch. There's a real easy way to not do that. All you have to do is make the top cut first. Then you can watch in that cut when making the bottom cut so you don't bypass and get a duchman. He's one of the few guys left that still uses a measuring stick to measure with. This has been my favorite video that you have made so far. It must have been hard to just stand there and film and not do any cutting. That old 153 Fabtec looked to be in pretty nice shape for its age. Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍 TTYL!!😀😀 Logger Al
Thanks Al, ya, it was fun to be there too! He is in rough shape compared to what he used to be 30 years ago he was just a blur!!! Ya, I'll ask him about the top cut first! That 153 was a 2002-3 I think, the guy operating is real good with it! Ya watching is hard to do!! Thanks again! More to come, I spent 6 days with him up north!
Great video. I would have been done after that first mangled tree. There is no harder workout than a chainsaw workout. Do you and your brother do anything in particular to stay in wood-cutting shape?
Yes as a matter of fact we have a very detailed regular work out schedule. Get up early cut and work all day, every day. That's it!! Thanks for watching!!
Wow that was some great video! Thanks for the laughs about pulling out 😂 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremiah! More to come!!

Great video Chris. Great to see you and your brother out working together. Have fun, be safe, and get to work. Lol.
Thanks! Will do Crazy!
Not even 4min in and I'm speechless seeing that supply going to so many consumers (sawmills). Love your vids man.
Same here..
Thank you Michael, ya there is a lot of wood up north. Watch tomorrow if you want to see a big pile of logs!!
Watch tomorrow Daniel!! Big piles !!!
I would have been done for the day when your brother said he was hungry. He had 5 trees on the ground already. That was a day, and to think he probably goes home and cuts and splits more wood!👏👏👏
Yup, that was exactly what we did till dark again!

More to come Mark! I spent 6 days with him! Thanks!!
@@InTheWoodyard Great way to keep up on yer filming & editing chops too. Nice footage & lots of laughs.. just stay outta the dirty crotch.

Yes it is fun for sure and it smells great too!!
G’morning Chris. Thanks for taking us along ! Keep up the good work. GNI
Good morning! Thanks for watching, more is coming soon!
I've had to watch this one in segments. Discovered I had an ice dam form on the roof line, so I've had to deal with that today. Whatever that machine is that delimbs and cuts the logs all in one shot is crazy! I could learn a lot from you two on all things tree work! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Adam, it is an old processor.
Very very good video. Getting to see what real very knowledgeable people do in the woods. Very interesting !!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ya he can cut for sure! Thanks!!
That was a lot of content! I just finished. Thanks for all that effort recording. On to today's vid!

Find someone with a pro size saw and you will be shocked at how much more and faster you can cut with a 70-80 cc saw.
we need more like yer bro........a real character
Ya, he is a dandy for sure, you will get to see more of him soon! Thanks for watching Tony!

Jure! You are correct about that! Just big boys with big toys!! 4 full cords is a bunch of work for sure!!
Good video, it must be good spending quality working time with your younger brother
It sure is, we do a lot together!
Nice chaps an saws looks like a wicked time! Good to see yah in the bunker earlier with buckin
Thanks, Ya it was a lot of fun! I never watched a live stream with Buckin before, he is a natural entertainer for sure!
Your brother is a 1 man felling army.
Thanks Daniel, ya he can get it done for sure!!
Great Video. Love to watch loggers work.
More to come! I spent 6 days with him !!
Greetings from Clinton, Arkansas! That's some awesome felling - and camera work! A lotta people don't realize the danger ain't over just cause the tree is down. I'm probably gonna be "puckered up" for an hour after seeing all the opportunities for injury and 'carnage' in this vid. WOW!
Thanks Mr. Lowrance! Ya, the woods are a dangerous place to be when gravity is helping put down tons of trees!!
Nice to be on the other side of the camera, with those Ugly Trees. Be Safe🪓
Ya, but I wanted to cut some down too!! Thanks Al, more to come!

"best job ever!" What a machine and the chainsaw cuts well too.
Ya, it was! We are going back this Saturday on a video!
I don't think buckin' Billy Ray has anything on your brother. He would be proud. Love the way you two get along. Warms my heart.
Buckin' Billy Ray wiuld be using a fully modded 390/395xp or one of his "power saws", as in the 880/3120xp class.

Great video, love dropping trees. I cut hundreds of those ironwood to grow mushrooms on them.
Thanks Harold, do they work good for mushrooms?
I prefer them to oak for growing shiitake mushrooms.
Hey Chris...I think your brother was in pure heaven, despite his negative comments about the task at hand. I like his "tell it like it is" approach. Will probably be some good deer cover there in a few years. I wonder if I could borrow that log processor for a few day?? (not really). Nice change-up to the firewood videos. Steve in PA

I haven’t herd the word skanky sense I was a teenager and my mom did not like one of my “girlfriends” lol. Thanks for the laugh brother of Chris.
Ya, he is a real hoot sometimes for sure!
Ha. I always thought the one he referred to as blue beech was the iron wood. I see it all the time out in the Chequamegon National Forest in Taylor County. Good thing to know.

Add a wiich to your trailer with a swing out crane to pick up the backbreakers. Then you will be able to harvest all your cuttings. If your splitter won’t handle the bigger rounds I highly recommend the eastonmade axis. It will easily split them to whatever size you want and it includes a log lifter to save your back.
Yup, good ideas, I have used an AXIS, great splitter!
Your brother is a maniac (in a good way), get the man an axe to pound those wedges with! 2 thumbs up!
Thanks Mr. Acres! He has a bunch of them, he just does not want to carry one around all day in the woods.
Funny I figured that was the reason he doesn't carry an Axe. He moves pretty quick. It would just slow him down. I watched a bunch of your videos today. Loved them all. Dave from Ontario, Canada
@@oakrunacres2564 Thanks for watching!
2 things come to mind: how does one not get hurt? How does one not pinch the saw blade,( the use of wedges for sure but still unforeseen forces exist)
Slightly controlled chaos! The man is a badass!💥
He is a pro that's how!! Logging is very dangerous for sure!!
Exactly!!
I’m 20 min in and you guys sound like my uncles and cousins logging in Maine... same temps, same island of misfit toys trees but they curse a lot more than you dignified gents. Keep em comin’ I’d say

Ya, he has made enough mistakes to avoid them now!
Interesting watching your brother turn gnarly trees into saw logs. He is a worker. He has 2 speeds, fast & stop!😂
Yes Ed, you are right about that!! Thanks for watching!
Good video. Does your brother wear corks or traction soles. Just watching video I twisted my knees about a dozen times. Good thing you got a video of him on the JOB. What is his goal, how much longer does he want to do that Ugly Tree felling, Hope its is on his terms.
No, he wears insulated Keens or just pack boots. He only cuts for a few friends when he feels like it, mostly retired now!
I've always made a larger v notch and a higher back-cut. Could you explain all that one day?
He makes the size and kind of cut that is right for each tree to get it on the ground. What matters is that the tree goes down and no one gets hurt.
So all the ugly trees is for papermill and OSB siding? It looked cold out there, especially when your brother's head was steaming. Lol.. I had a good chuckle about the dirty crouch! Tha ks for the video!
Yes paper mills is the primary use. Ya, that's working up a head of steam!!

I thought "daylight in the swamp" was the call to get out of bed and start the day.
I think you are both right!
Great video, Chris thought you might have had a comment on the days venture with your brother. did you bring any logs back to your wood yard?
Thanks Arthur! No, it was all sold wood to the saw and paper mills.
I think the energy saved by using a proper wedge banger would be worth the energy used carrying it into the bush but that's just my opinion
You are probably right, but my brother ain't a proper guy, he just gets it done! Thanks for watching Jeff!
Lol this was my thought to
How many big ugly trees were taken down this day? Forgot to count.
He logged it for 6-7 days and cut 10-15 a day so.... a bunch! Thanks for watching!
How much fuel does a logger/faller/bucker use to do all that work?
No, idea, as much as it takes I guess! HA!
That kind of wood 372 takes about a gallon for 7-8 hours

Thanks, they should be there !?!? I see them on my screen. They are there just not in order, I don't know why, but they are there.
WOW! Made me tired just watching. I feel a wedge banger might be worth the Hassel of packing in. Just me! Good job !
You and me both! But that is my brother, "just get out of my way and let me work!!!!" HA!
I notices you don't use a humbolt face cut? any reason why?
Ken does several different wedge cuts mostly the top one.
What are you cheap high hammer? Or an ax. Instead of using a lime
Don't want to carry it all day and you can make one anytime you need one.
Here in west virgina we burn hickory oak ash maple walnut and locusts and cherry
Nice stuff!
What happens to the logging debris Is it burned or chipped?
It is usually left to decay for future tree fertilizer.
Hey Chris did you have the camera with the heated handle?
NO!!!! It was a cold aluminum heat sucking tripod that was holding the camera. I did wear lined choppers and hand warmers inside them!!!
Banging around in the bush all day and not a single snowshoe rabbit. Were have they all gone ?
There was a lot of them in northern Wisconsin last year, we saw a lot of them!
Pretty slim pickings on the northeastern part of WI north of hwy 8 the last few years. Good to hear there are a few in other parts. Great content, its real footage with usefull info !
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Those were some of the ugliest white pines I've seen in a while. Made sense when he said that a tornado hit it back in the seventies. Your brother is quite the logger.
What I wouldn't give to be back in the physical shape you two are. I miss being able to go out on a cold day like that and fell big monsters like them. Now days when I get In a stand of trees like those I usually take my harvester and
work with the with the hand cutter. I will clean up around the tree for them and then put the cutting head against the tree and push them over to where we want them to go so they don't berry the piles that are already processed. Keeps the forwarder operator happy when he doesn't have to dig the wood out of the brush pile.
The only thing I saw that made me a little nervous about the way your brother cuts is he leaves a lot of duchmans in his notch.
There's a real easy way to not do that. All you have to do is make the top cut first. Then you can watch in that cut when making the bottom cut so you don't bypass and get a duchman.
He's one of the few guys left that still uses a measuring stick to measure with.
This has been my favorite video that you have made so far. It must have been hard to just stand there and film and not do any cutting.
That old 153 Fabtec looked to be in pretty nice shape for its age.
Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍
TTYL!!😀😀
Logger Al
Thanks Al, ya, it was fun to be there too! He is in rough shape compared to what he used to be 30 years ago he was just a blur!!! Ya, I'll ask him about the top cut first! That 153 was a 2002-3 I think, the guy operating is real good with it! Ya watching is hard to do!! Thanks again! More to come, I spent 6 days with him up north!
Hey guys...better not retire, then life will really be boring!!
Ken is retired, he just does that for fun money and because he loves it!
Great video. I would have been done after that first mangled tree. There is no harder workout than a chainsaw workout. Do you and your brother do anything in particular to stay in wood-cutting shape?
Chris does at least 200 cords a year now. Just doing what he does keeps him in shape.
Yes as a matter of fact we have a very detailed regular work out schedule. Get up early cut and work all day, every day. That's it!! Thanks for watching!!
Exactly!
Did your brother get any work from you or just filmin?
I was there for 6 days and we did a lot of work, but on the logging job I just carried stuff for him.
cool nice to spend time with family
That's a lot of work for a young man let alone someone our vintage. Did your brother stop off at the gym on the way home LOL
Ya, we did!! The 12oz gym!!! HA!!
@@InTheWoodyard hahaha bet that was nice after a hard day cutting..
