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.
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!
Cody I thought you would have known why the loggers cut and left them.All mighty God knew you were going to build a bridge there and supplied you with the materials on site.all praise is due to Him.The Knower and Best of Provider. ameeen
I am a trail boss for a local mt. bike club up here in Vermont (Millstone Trails) Thanks for the shout out to get folks to volunteer! Bridges sure are fun to build aren't they.
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!
very motivational video. I'm actually thinking about to get such a summer-job or sparetime-job. 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.
Fun video! I look forward to part II when I get home from work. Got to go take down a tree next to a garage. Talking about the USFS trail crew, I just did a chipping job for them at some of the trailheads along Washington Pass. Thanks!
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.
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.
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!
Love your videos, I am building a lot of buildings, with what trees I have on hand. I live without power, so I am loving watching this video since your just using hand tools. I do use a chain saw but sawing big logs by hand is a pain.
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.
Hi Cody, 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? God bless, Mike B.
I wish I would have found this channel long ago! I absolutely love every video I,ve watched playing catch up! I would say keep up the good work but you obviously have!
Hey Cody, that come-a-long is used in the fire service, we called it a rescue come-a-long very easy to use, it came in a metal box with or items. I have one that I use here and if I need to move something in the field when welding
I couldn't help but wonder how long it took to set up all of those camera angles. I think we, the subscribers, all appreciate the time you take doing it right. Thanks!
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.
Nice video showing the use of good tools. that is a steal on that come-along! Nice find for sure!! Thanks for posting this, I hope that all the time and investment that you are putting into this is paying dividends, I know that you are reaching a wide audience, and are having a positive impact on many lives! God Bless the WS family:-)
Nothing like a good mechanical leverage to get a job done. I always have a bunch of rigging equipment, never know when you will need it. wranglerstar long videos do not bother your subs, well at least not me. I could probably watch non-stop when its great stuff.
i love to see people working with there hands i used to work with my hands but with being ill its not really and option now great video cody cant wait for part two
Yes, My first job out of high school was a summer job with the Forest Service, in the Modoc forest in Northern California.. In retrospect, I wish I would have made a career out of it. I would highly recommend it to any young person starting out in life... You won't regret it. Frank
Me and my late dad used to use one of those come alongs to pull engines out of cars using a diagonal chain across the engine and a doubled timber 2x6 beam in the garage as the gantry. No sweat even a big ole V8 was no problem. Great pice of gear and cheep as chips to buy even new(pressed steel ones).
great video... and that is a "find" to say the least.. that is a 200-300 dollar comealong new.....great find.... always keep your eyes open at garage sales and thrift stores. You never know what you will find.......
I would have started with the draw knife right away but to each there own, Love these kind of videos. Been a sub for a long time and always enjoyed the videos. Keep up the good work.
As soon as you said, "How am I going to get that timber from here to there using only primative tools," my first thought was, "What, no come along?" ;P Great video as always.
thats no ordinary winch...that is a tool used by electric companies for tighetning the slack out of electric lines...that thing is worth WAY more than 25 bucks!!!! what a find...I wish I could find HALF of the items you come across!!!
A debarking spade (sometimes called a debarking iron) is the easiest way to remove bark from trees and there are types for both conifer and broadleaved trees. A sharp spade also works quite well when removing dead bark from conifers.
I have the husky carpenters axe and I love it get for bush craft, but great vid buddy I love the way u live, I may not look like it but I'm a country boy at hart from Southern West Virginia
wranglerstar Hey Cody, couldn't help but notice the compass you were wearing on the wristband of your watch. I was wondering if you could let me know who makes it, as I noticed it has a bezel, a direction arrow, and looked like a well-made compass (unlike some of those cheap toy ones). Thanks for your help and all of your wonderful videos ;)
My uncle works for the Eastman company factory in Tennessee and he gets spare tools and parts from there all the time and he got an Insustrial cumalong big heavy, heavy duty thing that we have tied to old house frames and tore them down with and pulled full grown 3 foot diameter and more pine trees with, a finer one you'll never get to see
at 11:23 "this is much more fun" I agree completely. I had the privilege of using a draw knife over the summer and found it to be some of the most satisfying work I have ever done with my hands.
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?
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.
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!
Heard the Come-along in the intro, I am glad to see the "resurgence" I actually have two in my possession now. Having to build a bridge for women to run on? "Lucky is the man who finds a women like that, wise are we who support and cherish a women like that!"
Hey Cody, if you are into mountain biking, check out bike packing. And even better the "s24o" its a sub-24 hour outing. Put just enough gear on a bike.. ride it somewhere nice. Setup camp for a night then come home.
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? Seems like there were less edits, or cuts and more of you just talking as you worked, a very nice pace to the video. Did you get a new mic that worked better for you? Domo!
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.
Looking good now we just need to excavate for the piles, Drive/Pour them in, reinforce and pour your abutment and get the bearings in place. Doesn't look like we need a pier so well save time there. All in all id say we should be done by the end of october :) only joking Cody looks great.
I can't help but to notice the pants that you are wearing in at least most of your videos. I know you have done some videos on Filson wool coats and such, but have you done a video on those pant? I can't help but to be intrigued by them. Love your videos by the way, keep up the great work!
I like the "Wranglerstar Lite" idea. I'm guessing there are alot more urban guys watching this than counrty folk just in numbers only who would love to do some projects that don't require massive expensive tools and space.
I do wish that Husqvarna would make something along the lines of a small forest or hunting axe, but their Carpenter's axe has actually become a personal favorite. That being said, I've never used for carpentry. I like it just as a compact axe.
A few years ago I took a Yurt building course. We used a draw-knife to remove teh bark and cambian off all of the sticks. Now granted they were usually less than 2 or 3 inches in diameter with very thin bark (Ash, maple etc). I'm not sure if it would work well for you with these thick fir barks
Love these kind of videos, thanks. Question.. I've noticed you have not been carrying your Glock on the homestead lately. Is there a reason? Thanks again.
Hey! did you get a new sheathe for your draw knife? the last time I saw that in one of your videos it was still covered in a cut piece of hosing. It looks nice. Great video Cody, thanks for sharing.
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips She's got deep brown eyes that have seen it all... It's such a good song. Thank you for reminding me about it.
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.
davedeja Thank you Dave,
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!
Cody, I gotta tell you: your videos are awesome. I've been watching them for the last year and simply don't get tired Grettings from Brazil !!!
Keep up the great work Cody. Hopefully this small gesture can help repay a small portion of my gratitude for your great channel and content.
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.
Thanks Cody, i love these videos of your builds. Also, glad to hear that Mrs. Wranglerstar is ok after the near encounter. Great dog you have there.
Mrs WS is always meeting interesting wildlife on her runs. I enjoy these vids very much. Thanks for sharing
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 love the noise of the draw knife slicing under the bark. Such a satisfying sound.
Its nice to see you have a way of bringing in your audience and visually share the work experience with you, Keep making Great videos and God Bless.
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.

I could watch you work all day, love your videos.
so much wranglerstar this week this is awesome, came back from a vactaion in america and theres like an hour of content
would you please continue with the longer videos. I myself am loving them.
keep up the good work you are an inspiration to us all
At 2:12, "Do you know what this is?" That made me think of Mr. Rogers! Love the video. Please keep it up!
Joe Prieur The Mrs Rogers of homesteading,
Cant wait for part two, Thank you for putting these videos together. I've learned a lot from them.
Love your videos, I am building a lot of buildings, with what trees I have on hand. I live without power, so I am loving watching this video since your just using hand tools. I do use a chain saw but sawing big logs by hand is a pain.
These are the kind of projects I love and almost anyone can do with just a little knowledge and hardwork.
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.

Hi Cody,
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?
God bless,
Mike B.
Great video again! I really enjoy the video's watch them every day :)
Thanks Cody!
I wish I would have found this channel long ago! I absolutely love every video I,ve watched playing catch up! I would say keep up the good work but you obviously have!
That is a sweet tool find...awesome outdoor building vid, thanks Cody.
Hey Cody, that come-a-long is used in the fire service, we called it a rescue come-a-long very easy to use, it came in a metal box with or items. I have one that I use here and if I need to move something in the field when welding
Cody, love to see a family biking video once your awesome trail is built!
I couldn't help but wonder how long it took to set up all of those camera angles. I think we, the subscribers, all appreciate the time you take doing it right. Thanks!
mrcreditunion1 Making a video like this takes the better part of a day,
We played with a small come-a-long when I was a kid. We would pull things across the yard then pull it back across. Such a fun toy outside for a kid.
Love your toolbag in this video, looks very similar to mine! So happy to see you using a hand brace, I love mine.
Great Video Wranglestar! Keep them coming.
Man...that's some of the fastest 15 minutes I've experience! Can't wait to see the final results.
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.

i love to see people working with there hands i used to work with my hands but with being ill its not really and option now
great video cody cant wait for part two
The pace of the videos may be a little different now, but I mainly enjoy you speaking at the end. Please keep that.
Yes,
My first job out of high school was a summer job with the Forest Service, in the Modoc forest in Northern California.. In retrospect, I wish I would have made a career out of it.
I would highly recommend it to any young person starting out in life... You won't regret it.
Frank
a man and his tools..no pun intended but as always say right tools make work easy .. thanks again for the great videos ..
Cody cold you alternate the half round boards flat down and then up nestled close together to make a smoother surface.
I'm only 16 but a year ago I was riding with a local group and we did a lot trail work and helped build a new section, fun hard work!
Me and my late dad used to use one of those come alongs to pull engines out of cars using a diagonal chain across the engine and a doubled timber 2x6 beam in the garage as the gantry. No sweat even a big ole V8 was no problem. Great pice of gear and cheep as chips to buy even new(pressed steel ones).
great video... and that is a "find" to say the least.. that is a 200-300 dollar comealong new.....great find.... always keep your eyes open at garage sales and thrift stores. You never know what you will find.......
I always enjoy this kind of video! Nice job using that wasted wood to serve a purpose.
Keep up the good work! I enjoy all of your videos!
I would have started with the draw knife right away but to each there own, Love these kind of videos. Been a sub for a long time and always enjoyed the videos. Keep up the good work.
As soon as you said, "How am I going to get that timber from here to there using only primative tools," my first thought was, "What, no come along?" ;P Great video as always.
Dave Canterbury with pathfinder school just gave you a shout out for your expertise on reheading an axe head.
thats no ordinary winch...that is a tool used by electric companies for tighetning the slack out of electric lines...that thing is worth WAY more than 25 bucks!!!! what a find...I wish I could find HALF of the items you come across!!!
Man I tell u this is just top quality editing. Wonderful video.
That come along/cable hoist was a steal at $25. A good one like that runs at least $150 and I've seen them as much as $300. Nice!
Removing the bark just looks so therapeutic
I love this kind of video and enjoy doing the same thing in my own back woods!
A debarking spade (sometimes called a debarking iron) is the easiest way to remove bark from trees and there are types for both conifer and broadleaved trees. A sharp spade also works quite well when removing dead bark from conifers.
Happiness is a sharp draw knife. Thanks for the great vidio!
I have the husky carpenters axe and I love it get for bush craft, but great vid buddy I love the way u live, I may not look like it but I'm a country boy at hart from Southern West Virginia
Lucy is a good dog. Exactly the reason we teamed up with those canines.
wranglerstar Hey Cody, couldn't help but notice the compass you were wearing on the wristband of your watch. I was wondering if you could let me know who makes it, as I noticed it has a bezel, a direction arrow, and looked like a well-made compass (unlike some of those cheap toy ones). Thanks for your help and all of your wonderful videos ;)
My uncle works for the Eastman company factory in Tennessee and he gets spare tools and parts from there all the time and he got an Insustrial cumalong big heavy, heavy duty thing that we have tied to old house frames and tore them down with and pulled full grown 3 foot diameter and more pine trees with, a finer one you'll never get to see
These are the videos I love to watch!
at 11:23 "this is much more fun" I agree completely. I had the privilege of using a draw knife over the summer and found it to be some of the most satisfying work I have ever done with my hands.
Excited to see the finished product
So proud of the find that you left the price tag. lol
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?
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!!
Really looking forward to part 2!
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.

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!
Heard the Come-along in the intro, I am glad to see the "resurgence" I actually have two in my possession now.
Having to build a bridge for women to run on?
"Lucky is the man who finds a women like that, wise are we who support and cherish a women like that!"
Hey Cody, if you are into mountain biking, check out bike packing. And even better the "s24o" its a sub-24 hour outing. Put just enough gear on a bike.. ride it somewhere nice. Setup camp for a night then come home.
I have an issue with all these bridges you build... They are not on my property... You are great
Waiting for part two. Looks like a truss taking shape in the background.
I love these no power tools projects!
Your yard sale find probably had $100 or more worth of cable on it . What a great find.
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? Seems like there were less edits, or cuts and more of you just talking as you worked, a very nice pace to the video. Did you get a new mic that worked better for you?

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.
I too like the change it's small and couldn't put my finger on it till StuluTokyo said it. It's nice it's more you are talking with us not at us.
Looking good now we just need to excavate for the piles, Drive/Pour them in, reinforce and pour your abutment and get the bearings in place. Doesn't look like we need a pier so well save time there. All in all id say we should be done by the end of october :) only joking Cody looks great.
Hey Cody love your videos was curious when we might see phase 2 of timber framing
I can't help but to notice the pants that you are wearing in at least most of your videos. I know you have done some videos on Filson wool coats and such, but have you done a video on those pant? I can't help but to be intrigued by them. Love your videos by the way, keep up the great work!
I like the "Wranglerstar Lite" idea. I'm guessing there are alot more urban guys watching this than counrty folk just in numbers only who would love to do some projects that don't require massive expensive tools and space.
Speaking of Doug Firs, did you hear about that near 600 year old one in NM that just died? Apparently, it was only just over 7 feet tall! Amazing!
I do wish that Husqvarna would make something along the lines of a small forest or hunting axe, but their Carpenter's axe has actually become a personal favorite. That being said, I've never used for carpentry. I like it just as a compact axe.
Hand come a longs can be one of the handiest tools to have. Look forward to part 2. ollllllllo
I am glad that she had the proper tool with her to protect herself.
A few years ago I took a Yurt building course. We used a draw-knife to remove teh bark and cambian off all of the sticks. Now granted they were usually less than 2 or 3 inches in diameter with very thin bark (Ash, maple etc). I'm not sure if it would work well for you with these thick fir barks
