Firewood Cutting on the Yukon River Joe and Stan Zuray
Couple days ago my son Joe and I filmed some firewood cutting and hauling for the winter right on the Yukon River. This video is a couple of days of scenes from that. River is still flowing ice and we cut and hauled wood just today and will be doing so for a while yet. The seasons change and our work does right with it. Always the same and always different.
Good knee surgery bad therapy. Clinic actually forgot to make therapy appointments and then wrote out wrong exercise schedule and I tore the leg muscles. Never bend again. I'm okay about it.

I am very glad Stan is on youtube and hope that it gives him some income. I love to watch him shenanigans. Good to see Joey again since we watched him grow up on Yukon Men.

@@lakeshadow100 that usually way over estimates. Not saying it's not true but heard many folks on KZread say how much you get paid per view and you can use that and their views they get to get an idea. If it says 1k a month I would guess he is actually making more like $500-750 a month. Always seems to be high and have heard other folks say that.

Your right on the mark. For last few months was down to under 100 per month. These last videos were really watched however and it over 1000 right now. That pays some bills for sure.
I miss the show so much , they stopped my favorite 2 Alaskan shows , Yukon men and The Last Alaska. Glad to see you and your son still getting it done . Got an idea for you Stan , what about going around and interviewing some of the main folks from Yukon men and just let us know how everyone is doing . I know its a very busy time right now and your getting ready for winter , hope all is well with the rest of the family .
Yukon men was simply the best tv series I've ever watched, no joke. So good to see you both again in this. Kind regards Stan to you and Joe, from NE Scotland

Yukon men, and the last alaskans. Don't forget that one. And both the networks canceled. And kept Life below zero, which is so scripted now I can't even watch it. All they talk about is global warming. It's a Disney owned channel, shouldn't expect anything less from Disney.

Hi Stan, wonderful to see you and Joey working together again. Yukon Men is truly missed, watching you guys hunt and fish, watching Joey grow up was great. How is Courtney Agnes She amaged me every week because she could do everything the men were doing. You guys need to come back, change the name of the show if you need to maybe it could be called Life In Tanana. Stan thank you so much
Loved seeing you and Joey, Stan!!! Miss seeing the show but I will always watch you!!! 💙💙💙
Hello Stan, I live in Atlin BC the true headwaters of the yukon river , great show watching it since it first aired
Always liked watching you and joe together.
I feel privileged every time i see a new upload from you stan and all the better when joey is included, boy it sure is hard work given another chance id like to give it a go, thankyou for taking time to film your everyday life's, ♥️♥️💚💚👍👍
The more people that hit the Like or even Subscribe buttons the better for the KZread algorithm and Stan and Joe’s videos will show up on main peoples pages. This will definitely help his channel grow and get more viewers. Income is hard to come by in the interior of Alaska so what ever we can do to help out a little means a lot. Keep up the great videos and content Stan!!!

Hey Joey. Youre the man bro. Respectful. We loved everyone on Yukon Men. Absolute legends. Happy to see yous again. In fact watching these might be better than the show.
Hey Stan, great to see you doing videos, it just hasn't been the same since the show ended! I also bought, and read your book, and would highly recommend it! Great story, with a lot of good life lessons. I have also been working away at my firewood, as any of us who burn wood know, firewood chores never end!!! Anyway, all the best to your family, and please keep the videos coming. Cheers, Al

Stan and Joe loved seeing you again. Joe hope you’re wife has good luck with her pizza baking and congratulations on your adorable daughter
I really miss watching Yukon Men, it was a great show. It meant a lot to me who has lived in Texas my whole life. Believe it or not, we had a big snowstorm a couple of years back and we aren't prepared for snow here at all. We survived just by the skin of our teeth and some people didn't survive at all. Those of us who did survive used the knowledge we gained from watching you live your everyday lives. Thanks for saving us! Great to see Joey again. We all watched him become a man together.

For anyone that doesn't know it yet....Stan is The Man....but his son Joe has caught up to his dad's ways really fast....to bad the show ended....it was the best of its type on TV.....these guys and their families live life to to fullest....in a very though environment.....that part frozen river tells it all.....
Years ago I showed some video of Stan to my Dad, because his voice is so similar to our friend, Jim Coughlin. Both are from Massachusetts . I’m happy to hear Stan hasn’t lost his accent after all these years.
Good to see you guys again, we miss Yukon men a lot, I grew up in the harsh winters of the Adirondack Mtns of New York doing exactly what you do up there excluding the dog sleds. Go back as far as throwing 4' pulp wood on the truck by hand to take it to the mill.🙂
I'm close to the same age as Stan and I'll be sore tomorrow from watching him work in this video.. keep us updated Stan. Much respect for you..
JOE YOU NEED A KZread CHANNEL AS WELL MAN, WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A PEAK AT WHAT YOUR LIFE IS LIKE. JUST A THOUGHT.
Glad to see y'all are well, God bless your family.
Thanks, Stan, it's good to be reminded what hard work is! lol Thanks to Joe as well. Wish you and your family a happy thanksgiving and merry Christmas!
Good to see you Joe and Stan. Keep your videos coming. Miss you guys. 😊
Glad I found this show. I watched all the ones on t.v. and I miss it. I’m 75 and lived and worked in Alaska for 15 years and it was a great life that I miss. I cut wood every year for my shop and the neighbors that are older. I cut 10 cord last year and I’m cutting next years now.

Another good video gentlemen. For the amount of wood you guys brought home you processed it pretty quickly. You have it down to a science! I hope you guys keep making videos.
So glad to see you in action again! I miss Yukon Men so much. Hands down my favorite episode was when Joey got his first wolf. Think I've seen it at least 5 times. Greetings from Texas. Love the truck!

It's always good to see what's going on in Tanana. Awesome to see and hear from Joe again. I spent 1/2 of 1974 working at McKinley Park, AK. Lot's of the people I worked with went to work on the pipeline. I thought about trying to get a pipeline job but always heard, "they aren't hiring right now" and I didn't really have any specialized skills so I returned home to California. Hope that your knee gets better over time. Thanks for the video Stan!
great to see you guys again.
I love the videos joey was always my favourite never shyed away from hard work and has grown in to brilliant young man and a credit to you Stan he had a fantastic example in you please keep up the videos
great video stan, i laughed about the explanation with the stars! ha ah
I am very happy to see you two again , wow the young man grown up, please post more video.
Nothing better then cutting wood all day and coming home to watch other people cutting wood
Stan, you raised an awesome young man! Joey is a boss at everything he does. Love to see what u guys are up to. I also ordered your book yesterday! I'm 38 and this is only the 2nd book I have searched for and bought. I can't wait until it gets here! Keep at it guys! Love to see new videos
🙂Love watching your vids Stand just Brillant... 🦋Kia ora and Greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand. Much Aroha to You and your whānau {Family} 👍
It's a good thing Stan you still got a good back. I'm your age, and I just had back surgery. It's sidelined me now for 6 months. And another couple months recovery. And I don't have any kids, you're lucky you got Joey helping you. Good health to you.
We just sawed up and hauled 11 cords of red fur an lodge pole pine mix .the kids helped I ran the wood splitter everyone else loaded and stacked .about all I can do after getting the c virus and then having major stroke in 2021 ,doc calls me a miracle to be alive .Thank you Jesus for keeping me going lost a bunch of eyesight from stroke.

So much faster and easier with a chainsaw than it used to be with a crosscut saw. It's been sixty years and more now and my back aches just remembering this.

One other thing. Last year a friend got me a Pickaroon for picking up wood. It helps with my back .
