    I am so, so glad that I happened upon your channel so long ago. It truly is as inspirational ans motivational as it is educational. Your knowledge of nature and machinery has made me envious beyond belief. We, your viewers, are so lucky to have someone like you to learn from. Thank you Cody.

    Great videos Cody! We can't wait to get out onto a homestead with our 7 children. Thanks to you, my 6 and 9 year old boys learned how to handle a camp axe and hatchet this weekend (We probably have enough kindling to last us all winter). Always look forward to seeing your work. God Bless the Wranglerstar family!

    Great video ,looking forward to part #2. I really do enjoy seeing all the unique projects you come with, I'm sure the bridge will come out great and be useful for many years. Glad to hear Mrs. W is ok after a cougar encounter, the good Lord, a good gun and a good dog are always good to have by your side.

    Another great video.. Very inspiring. I really enjoy watching your work unfold and the compassion you show in doing it. The ending comment you said in a subtle way .. "I do like the results though..." Really cracked me up! Glad you have a good dog! They really are loyal companions that come in handy when you least expect it. Looking forward to watching the next video!

    I gotta say the "wranglestar lite" is an excellent idea! Your videos are usually very inspiring, but not all of us can lead the lifestyle/have access to all the tools you have and use in the videos.

    Love these videos. I work outdoors clearing trees and doing small projects just for the pure enjoyment of it. I am a novice and love watching and learning about how you plan and attack certain tasks. I don't know how you get much accomplished though by having to take time to video record. Thanks for all you do. Thumbs up.

  • @NicholasJWahpepah

    Great video series. I hope you do more videos about trail building for your new motorcycles. I'm watching these trying to figure out how to build a trail through 40 acres of heavy thorns, vines, downed trees and across a creek. It's going very slow, lol, but I'm enjoying myself. My two sons will love it when it's through. I thank you!

    Wow..... be careful with the cougar. Definitely thankful Lucy was there to notice and scare it away. The scary part about cougars is they are very stealthy and they are suprise predators. If you actually get the chance to see one it's already been watching you for a while. Great video Cody!

I subscribed to your channel long time ago and love like every video you put up. thank you so much for your work. seems like u really love what you do - very enjoyable. always a pleasure to be part of it. word's can't be kind enough. good to see kind people. thank you.

  • @sirjimmy71
    @sirjimmy71 10 років тому

    First of all let me say that I enjoy your videos immensely. Secondly I have no actual experience in forest land management, so what I'm about to say is completely from my armchair perspective but here it is anyway. I believe the 'waste' logs that are left from logging are serving a useful ecological role. I've heard it said that a forest grows on a fallen forest, so in that sense the logs are returning nutrients from the previous generation to the next and providing the fungal-based compost trees love. Also the rotting logs help restore compacted soils which benefit the soil microbes, **but more importantly**, help the land to absorb water into the soil which in turn moderates the water flow in rivers and streams.

  • @sundrop27
    @sundrop27 10 років тому

    Cody - in regards to "light" videos...I think the one you did where you made the shelves along the windows in your house is a good example. People anywhere could have an interest in growing things indoors.

  • @sammybee5321
    @sammybee5321 7 років тому

    The tool you need - I promise! - is a short handled bill hook or what you would call a brush hook. If I could afford it I would send you one to try. I've been working in forestry and farming and what they now call "landscape management" for 25 years, (since I was 16) and I absolutely promise you, once you get used to it, the bill hook (brush hook) with the short handle like a machete is just the *right* tool for this job. For brashing small trees and limbs, and for stripping bark in the field it is second to none.
    Having said that you did a nice job with the forest axe and always do, but every time I watch you doing that sort of thing I think to myself how much more efficiently you could do it with the right tools!
    Anyway, I mean no offence or criticism. I truly love all your vids, and have learned huge amounts off you. I'm just hoping to give something back!

    Can't wait for part 2. Was wondering how you are going to allow for the passage of the water and anchoring it so it doesn't wash out. Nice, fun project. As for urban peoples, think about a big project you have done already and downsize it. perhaps felling trees in a small area, excavation on a small scale, building stairs/decks/etc with reclaimed timbers. How do garage sale, tips/tricks.

    I have been enjoying your videos for over a year now. My home is in South Florida and am looking for a wooded property on the East Coast where I can apply all of the things that you have shared. You are amazing and I admire your Christian values.
    Do you have any concerns about Lyme Disease and do you take any precautions?

    Cody,
    If you take a propane torch to the stripped logs and give them a uniform char on the surface (and I do mean blacken them), it will further weather and bug-proof the wood. Ancient Japanese technique.

    @HerbalKnowledge 10 років тому

    well i wouldn't exactly call this a project for people living in an urban environment, not too many streams to cross in the city. but always a pleasure to learn from you. what is the benefit of stripping the bark? seems like it takes away a layer of protection, and if used for the deck wouldn't it have less traction an get slippery easier?

    • @snowboarderslis
      @snowboarderslis 10 років тому +1

      I believe Cody spoke a lil about the bark removal. Something along the lines of protecting the wood from bugs that would otherwise destroy the wood a lot faster over time. It makes sense to me, anytime you find an old fallen tree and peel back the bark - bugs, bugs and bugs!!

    You need to come down south and see a logging apocalypse. After a hardwood cut no matter if it's a clear cut or select cut the mess and waste left behind is horrible and you have to do a site prep burn to replant it. That's what I used to do, controlled burns, and the hardwood sites were always the worst.

  • @Wrangler98JPTJ
    @Wrangler98JPTJ 10 років тому

    Great Video! But... I must point out that your choker has a bad "memory" from being set backwards or improperly too many times.. the spine of the hook should be against the log when choked versus the tip of the hook being against the log. The way to remedy this is to make sure that you are always setting the same eye into the hook... not to degrade from a great video!!!!!!! Thanks Cody!

    After watching several hundred of your videos it seems strange to say this to you Cody, but is this a new style of video for you?

      @wranglerstar  10 років тому +15

      StuInTokyo Yes It's a bit different I"m not sure why. I shot over 70 takes to make this video however, I dont use every take. The mic is working out ok. It's forcing me to rethink how I make videos. Never before have I been able to speak away from the camera. I'm still learning how to use it. The mic does ad a level of complexity I don't enjoy like worrying if the batteries are dead or not.
