Great video ! Love the outdoors :) I do lots of wood cutting in winter too, then i have more time for fishing in the summer , You have some nice birch there :) Good job when you can roll them down the hill " I made a big sleigh out of a couple 45 gallon barrels it works awesome !

Love your videos, nice way of life you live. One tip though, don't play with the throttle so much

Can't beat a bit of Chainsaw action pal .... keep up the good vids pal !

I agree! Very therapeutic when you're the one cutting 😊

Wonderful video Ash. Fabulous to watch. Got a fair bit of timber there. Slowly building up next winters supply. Take Care Bud 👍

Thanks bud! It's a long process when we have to find little bits here and there. Get there in the end though

Great content 😁. Always enjoy watching your thought process. Perfect place for a coffee, seems very tranquil. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thanks! The video doesn't really do it justice. Crap camera plus wind haha! But I stayed there for quite a few hours just watching the world spin 😊 It's a nice place

Im jealous, great way to spend a day. I should be heading your way from the uk next winter in my van 🤞

Thanks, always interesting to see life from another perspective. Hope you manage to get it all back to the woodshed before the thaw sets in !

I managed to get it all off the island but it's still in a pile on the shore haha. Hopefully be able to get in the next few days

I wish that the energy company would say, we've had a bit of a rampage and give us some free electricity. Awesome stuff Ash, another winters worth of wood and the fun of the chop and filming.

Did your plot include any woodland? Have you thought about buying land with forest or is it too much work (if finances allow of course)?

It didn't unfortunately but we do have something currently in the works! It's going to take a while to materialise though

How are you preparing the track across the lake? Is it simply a matter of riding over the same line to compact or clear the snow?

Yea that's basically it. I go maybe 3 or 4 times and make it one track wider each pass so it can take the log trailer. Works surprisingly well as long as the weather plays nice. I would say fully loaded plus the snowmobile I am around a ton

I think we all know what a chain saw sounds like and how its used, don't need half a video on it!

It's Interesting how you say "we". Do you believe your own opinion applies to everyone who watches youtube? Personally, I quite enjoy watching videos of people chainsawing things and I'm almost positive I'm not the only one... 🤦‍♂️

@@ash.pollard Their is many who have heard a chainsaw, and very, very few who have not. You are not alone in these types of videos, just making a suggestion to you that may improve your videos.

@@ash.pollard Speaking for the entirety of my household (that is, me), the chainsaw to non-chainsaw content ratio is almost spot on. A few more close-ups, maybe even a go-pro on the bar or brake, that sort of thing...

Or a hook knife, either way works 😊 The point is I didn't take either so was curious if i could make one using only a knife
