Marty, we love your channel! Been following your journey since you first started your homestead and always enjoy your content and sincerely appreciate your family’s positive attitude and obvious affection for one another. Thanks and keep it up! Oh, and people, please let the poor guy make a living so he can keep posting things we all enjoy!
Good job sighting the widow maker tree. Kept y’all from paying for repair/replacement of 1 - 2 cars. Lord, pray Your blessings upon Martin and his family. Protect and provide for them all during ALL the storms coming their way this winter. Amen!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Talk about safety, please consider that you could also leave a widow should the chain fly off the saw and it severs the artery in your leg because you are not wearing chaps. Also, if you value your eyes, please wear safety glasses as well. Both are essential when using a chain saw.
Next step is a battery chainsaw, the Milwaukee seems to get the best reviews from the arborists. Dragging a cord is a pain. I have a 40 YO extension cord I cut the second time I used an electric chain saw.
I have both an electric chainsaw and a gas chainsaw. In an emergency during either a rainstorm or a snowstorm I use the gas one as I prefer to not have to worry about having any problems using the electric chainsaw in the wet weather. For every day use I use the electric chainsaw.
I have a Stihl and a Mac gas chain saw. Bought an Echo battery powered saw and don't use the others anymore. Of course I'm 72 now and don't cut much wood anymore. But that electric saw is always available and ready for trees and limbs falling.
You only complained about the broken tractor switch, but what did break? Mechanical, electrical? Is its construction to weak or do high currents burn the contacts? If electrical, you could think of adding a heavy duty relay as one in cars where the dashboard switch controls is and the relais does the heavy lifting.
My thoughts, too. He should give/send a broken switch to someone like me who can determine what went wrong. (But I'm in Greece and America is full of experts.) P.s. I'm modest, too.
Another good thing for small jobs is the I have a DeWalt battery operated one so it's just a 20 volt battery and you can get three or four of them and you can they last up to 2 hours
Electric is good if you have a source of power. Battery chainsaws are good as long as you have spare batteries. A gas powered chain saw is a good back up.
That chain sharpener reminds me of the time where my neighbor's grandmother sharpened her push mower's blade by picking up the mower and using a grinder on bottom side of the blade. I don't think that you would reap the benefits of having a traditional sharpened chain. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I think for those tools that you don't use that often electic is the only way to go. no engine maitnance and the fuel doesn't go bad. if shtf occurs they will still run long after the last gasoline has gone bad.
I love my DeWalt 20 Volt chainsaw for my small stuff. I think I learned about the DeWalt from this channel? Still go Stihl gas chainsaw for the big stuff.
I picked up an electric chainsaw when I had a situation where I couldn't pull the cord to start the gas saw. The electric saw, I just hit a button and pull the trigger. Real easy when I found myself in the situation I found myself in.
I've gotta big pine that beetles killed last year. It's right on edge of creek bed so I only have one direction to go when falling. I'm afraid of the weight shift on the island of existing roots.
Um, what's next for that dead Fir in your lawn at 4:00 .. same saw? Seriously though, be safe out there for the next storm. As always, very practical video. Keep Smiling.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving I have a little bit, though thankfully with my local in NC I should be okay with noise most of the time... I do need to get alternate power sources figured out though, whether that is solar, wind, or maybe a little bit of hydro I'm not sure.
You seem to have reviewed a number of power stations over the last three or four years. Instead of constantly reviewing different brands, especially those that have given sponsorships, why not do a comparison of the Echoflow, Anker, Jackery, Bluetti, etc.? You can certainly make the basis of your comparison the best power station for home back up, whether or not you’re homesteading.
We only work with quality products. They all seem to be basically the same with only minor differences. It is kinda like Ford vs Chevy. You can't really go wrong if you know what you need power wise. Do you need a Ranger or a F350?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving I'll take the F350. Can you deliver it to my door? Joking aside, I'd love to see a video on a battery backup system for an on-grid home (we're in a 1,250 SF townhouse). I realize that may be beyond the mission of your channel, but it would help me figure things out.
I understand that you need to incorporate paid promotions in your videos for financial reasons but I guess brand loyalty suffers as well. This is at least the 3rd brand of a backup battery power source you have promoted with the other 2 being Bluetti and Ecoflow. To be fair maybe you need to do a side by side comparison of the various brands and rate them according to performance and price.

Typical widowmaker is a heavy branch suspended high above the ground spanning 2 or more trees. Yes the tree was dead but is considered yard maintenance only. WHY ALL THE ADS UA-cam IS NOTORIUS FOR ADS BUT NOW YOUR CHANNEL IS I THINK IN COMPETITION WITH UA-cam
Would love to have a power, but so far all I've look are worth the price their asking I'm sure. But they are all to rich for this old biker's budget... We got 23 acers of woodland we just bought here in Kentucky with a lot of dead standing trees. I personally can use a gas chainsaw due to my disability and age. But I love my electric one. Just no way to use it out in the woods yet... Who knows God may bless me with one or make away for us to buy one...................
Great choice. Unfortunately, they are a little tricky. Your membership allows you not to see "ads" but it has nothing to do with sponsorships. You will still see all the sponsorships which some people call ads but in UA-cam language they are not ads.
@@Plutogalaxythis channel used to be about mission work in Indonesia. Change happens. It’s not for everyone. But many of us have been following their family adventures for years now.
The FTC has changed the rules. Creators now have to say a video is sponsored in some way if they receive money or product for the video. That is what honest law abiding creators do. We didn't have to do that before and viewers didn't know they were being advertised to. So are there really more sponsorships (advertising) or is it just being declared more? You have know idea how many creators are not following the FTC guidelines and are advertising to you with out your knowledge.
I am so tired of you being a telemarketer for any and every Gizmo that comes through your homestead! And while I'm at it, can you stop being a proponent for anything and everything that is in preparation for all that is a Doomsday scenario for the world! If you feel that the world is doomed, I won't say it, but just finish it! If you feel that the world is going to turn into an anarchist format, just leave the rest of us to our own devices!
Wow! I dont think you are going to like the direction this channel will be taking over the next couple of month. But if you can hang in there I think you might just have your mind changed.

What model Yanmar tractor is that? What does the switch control that you said has broken 3 times. I am going to get a Yanmar about that size..

Thumbs up 👍 good work getting The tree 🌲 down and the clean up.
That was a dangerous cut. Good thing nobody got hurt.
I have 3 DeWalt saws. 120v saw, 20 volt saw and a 20 volt pole saw. They all work great. I haven’t used my gas saws in years.
That is how i feel.
I have an electric also, and they are great!
Cool chainsaw. I like the sharpener the most. Quick and painless. Super quiet too.
Next step is a battery chainsaw, the Milwaukee seems to get the best reviews from the arborists. Dragging a cord is a pain. I have a 40 YO extension cord I cut the second time I used an electric chain saw.
i have a dewalt and us it for smaller jobs.
We have to mention that solid state batteries’ life span is far greater than lithium phosphate. Well over double the charge cycles in some cases.
Cool! Thanks for sharing.
Electric chain saw is the best thing for the home owner and it’s not bad for the other guy.
Cool power brick. Supplies way more power than needed. I like to have the chainsaw and that powerbrick to keep in the truck just in case. Nice

Great tree felling Colin, awesome aim...😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️
Yes when you live in the bush you have to be careful where you park, That was a car crusher for sure, Good job cleaning it up 👍,
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

I like my dewalt too!
Echo 58 v love it no worries if it's going to start
I sold my still and bought a battery operated saw and it covers all my need’s
Noise levels are totally better 😊

Widow Maker down safe & a little extra firewood ! That Yoshino looked like it worked pretty good 👍,
Yes it was!
We have a Stihl...electric, with 3 batteries. Works great for around the home or cabin!
for sure
I like the idea of electric, just not a fan of the cords. Wish the battery ones had a longer run time between charges
true. some times it is a pain.
Um, what's next for that dead Fir in your lawn at 4:00 .. same saw? Seriously though, be safe out there for the next storm. As always, very practical video. Keep Smiling.
I think you are referring to the Larch, a deciduous conifer. It will be back in the spring.
Great video good to see y'all
Thanks 👍
yoshino amazing pak martin
Iya
My electric chainsaw starts the first time everytime!
What electric chainsaw are you running? Thanks!
Your welcome. This one amzn.to/3OmHbpy
They each have their uses
amen
I love the sound of a gas chain saw running,,,
I go with a gas chainsaw for a number of reasons, but I use ethanol free shelf stable gasoline, but still don't leave it in the saw. (I'm homesteader)
Cool. Have you thought about the noise in a TEOTWAWKI situation?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving I have a little bit, though thankfully with my local in NC I should be okay with noise most of the time... I do need to get alternate power sources figured out though, whether that is solar, wind, or maybe a little bit of hydro I'm not sure.

Crosscut saw!!!

One of each (gas and battery), plus a worthwhile array of AXE's and WEDGE's. #CoverAllUseCases
Amen
I like my Stihl battery chainsaw
How would that corded chainsaw compare to a li-ion cordless?
better over all.
Both just saying
Gotta get me the B4000.
That is nice too.
Send me one of the 20 or so solar generators you have and I’ll give an electric chainsaw a go.
I do seem to have a lot. One the perks of doing UA-cam I guess.
you ele bill is free// so run everything on ele power

Amen. I've been to Kentucky twice. it is a beautiful state.
I had an electric chainsaw once. It literally melted the inside components because it got too hot just cutting a 6 inch branch.
Sounds like it might have been low quality or a lemon. No chainsaw should do that.

Sudah lma tdk nnton pak martin.
kenapa?
@ chnel yg pak martin gak update lgi y
You may have thought about an electric car too
unfortunately we dont make enough solar power to charge one in the winter.
I love your show but I paid for a UA-cam membership and they told me I would have no ads. I know about the ads but Maybe try to shorten them up

How is Seth?
he is doing great. I'll share some in a video.
in Indonesia there are many dead wood people😂
Orang kayu mati? Artinya?
A little dramatic don't you think. Dead trees don't happen overnight.
Checked out the company and the product and it’s not solid state. Lithium ion at best.
$,$$$
to much advertising
Then why are you watching?🤷♂️
When the views drop, extra income in necessary. A lot of UA-cam channels are seeing a big drop in viewership.
