Love it. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve filled a truck with wood in the last 55 years. Still cutting and splitting and loving every minute. Stay young stay strong.
Hello gills family I’m headed back out took 1.5 years off from cutting wood seen couple old customers when I was coming in with a load said they didn’t like the guy last year they got wood from so figured might as well make it another side job best job a guy could have but not enough buyers in central Oregon to do it for a living or I would 👌🏽 have a blessed day 👌🏽
The market is saturated down here in Klamath. Most guys selling burned Ponderosa pine as Lodge Pole. Good trees are too far out to keep the price of a cord fairly reasonable.
If that was me, as soon as I cut it across the road, a car would show up wanting to get through. Every single time, I'm cutting by the road it happens, lol.
I am on a dead end road only had one vehicle come and they turned around lol if they have a problem I just block a bunch and split it up then tell them it will go faster if they help load 😅 not really but yeah I cut and drag it out of the way
Gill seemed to be a good person hearing you talk about him you can tell he meant a lot to you as I’m sure he did his family. Keep up the good work there are lots of young people that could stand to learn a few things from you this day and time.
No you are not mistaken I thought it was the handles but I found I was running my hand all the way down on the hook of the handle and it was cause a lot of jolt to my shoulders just trying to choke up a bit on the axe
RIP Gil. I was just going to ask if you had any small saws that you used for limbing. Guess I found out. Would be interested to know the time difference between bucking with the 550 vs the 395. How much quicker is it. May give me more reason to buy a larger saw from my 555.
Yep, the first load of the season is always a reminder that I'm not in wood cutting shape. Lol. Hope Gills family is doing good. Always a pleasure watching your wood cutting vids. My wife is in bad shape so this is as close to the woods as I can get. Thanks buddy.
I am so sorry to hear this my friend if you ever need someone to talk to you can email me at bearcreek25@gmail we will keep you folks in our prayers! We love and appreciate your friendship.
Any more thoughts an about the 500i? In a previous video you mentioned you might upgrade. I’m in a similar boat and would love to hear your thoughts. I do similar cutting style down here near Leavenworth.
Hello Gills family. If you’re looking for some good oil for the black truck run 15/40 diesel oil it has more sink for the flat tappet cam those trucks have.
It sounds like Gil was a pretty incredible. Sounds like he was a pretty good mentor to you and your family. That is awesome that you took a moment to meet your wing-like that at his age and still cutting firewood. That is impressive man there and a hard work in son of a b**** I tell you my hats off to that guy. I have never met him before, but he seems like a really good. Woodcutter guy woodcutters are honest people. Please please reply back if you get this message.Thank you sincerely would cutter anthony
Do you know what the white fungus/balls are on the fir trees are called? That’s about the best way I can judge good wood out here other than taking an axe thru the bark or If the end of the limbs still have an upward curl. You cut a lot of trees i would consider rotten here in southern Oregon, but the burn scar I cut around is from 2018. Curious if you have other ways of judging quality before cutting them down
Happy to see the forests of your homeland providing income again. Also your personal movements look like you are feeling so much better. Looking forward to seeing family adventures after school is completed soon.
Hello to Gills family. Pretty wood as always! It was good to get out this spring early for wood for sure! I got lucky and found an amazing patch of wood so im already done for a change! See ya next time!

Firewood season is upon us! Just got myself a 372xp. Been cutting wood for years with a husky 359 and a jonesred 630
Good to see you moving good,David! Sometimes we need down time to heal!
Thank you for the kind words my friend! I’ve found that I wasn’t stretching so I try to stretch when I remember lol

Aussie fan enjoying your videos, thanks.
Thank you for the support my friend! We wish you good health and happiness
Doesn't get much better than that in these parts. Unless maybe buckskin tamarak.
Yes sir I love good ol blue back tamarack
David, I thought that you were going away from those axes and maul’s that didn’t have real wooden handles. Was I somehow mistaken?
No you are not mistaken I thought it was the handles but I found I was running my hand all the way down on the hook of the handle and it was cause a lot of jolt to my shoulders just trying to choke up a bit on the axe
Great video as always! You ever make it up to Bonners Ferry I'll treat you to a beverage of your choice!
Nice Firewood....greetings from Germany Peter Husqvarna-Pit
nothing like playing in the springtime mud.
Yes sir! Hope all is well my friend
hard to beat the sound of being chopped by hand

I think I may try one and use it strictly for falling tree
Douglas Fir is the best firewood we have here in the Pacific NW 😉👍
Yes sir!
Looks like some nice wood there bud
Hello Gills family. If you’re looking for some good oil for the black truck run 15/40 diesel oil it has more sink for the flat tappet cam those trucks have.
Thanks for the advice my friend I will give it a shot
Great video, beautiful firewood as usual! Gills Family I hope you are all doing well and God Bless. Stay safe out there David.
Thank you my friend we appreciate you

So how does fur hold heat is it relatable to oak I just wondered between don’t have it around here
It’s not too far behind hardwood on the btu charts I’ve seen
Just want to say good to see another video from you guys, have always enjoyed them all. Hope to see more and good luck with all you do.
Good to see you back. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Rest in Power Gill, you sound like someone we should all look up to.

Hello again guys. How does the fir burn ?
Burns absolutely fantastic. It’s a hell of a firewood.
It’s one of the best we can get here in the northwest. Burns hot and lasts along time
