    If I were to use a jack like that on my sand, I would need to put a paver under the foot, or it would just punch a hole in the ground. Still, I could probably use one...

    I think I should paint my peevy orange like that. Might keep me from losing it so often ;)

    Great ingenuity but the background noise is hideous, redo it with something better & you’ll probably get more likes.

    This is more of a training video of how NOT to work with 1400lb logs. No safety equipment, rolling logs while standing next to them instead of away from the roll directions, chainsaw bar almost got pinched, the helper was betting his lower body parts on the cones holding, hammering the lift hook without any retaining contingencies was a huge risk. If the log would have fallen from even 6in off the ground no telling which direction it would have rolled, had the lift hook come out the log no telling how far back the jack would rocket, but safe to say the log rolling or dropping onto any human body part would require reconstructive surgery if not amputation. Logs are round and tend to roll, except when on top of you then it takes a tractor to budge them. Having one guy to help another stuck under a log is futile. The guy stuck would be there until fire crews could extract him safely. Good safety preparedness video of what not to do. The music sounds like a bombing raid siren, fitting, danger danger danger! Silver lining is that this showcases the issues inherent in taking unqualified guidance on KZread.

There is a guy on utube called Surviving Ringworm, he’s got a bought one very similar but he reckons they are no longer made . Any information on it I would greatly appreciate. Cheers

    That was a disappointment. Even though you winded it up with one hand, I saw the need for at least four hands doing the job! And you only used tools anyone within forestry would have already, in completely standard ways. Anyone that could actually benefit from the knowledge, would have learned nothing. You are even setting a horrible examble with using no PPE at all, while handling the chainsaw. 😕

    @markyoungoutdoors2497 Really? I could also lift that log with one hand, sitting in my excavator. But it defies the whole point of why one would look for such a video. I searched, to find ways to handle logs ALONE, where I have no machinery available. Title seems to promise that. But the video does not deliver!

    ​@markyoungoutdoors2497 That said, I'll admit that my personal disappointment over not getting what I expected overshadowed the achievement of having built such a tool. I bought a very similar device from Logosol. I would currently not have the means to build one myself. Same thing could be achieved with a standard farm-jack, which are way easier to find. Or a tripod with a chain hoist. The latter could actually be operated with one hand, if you had to. And you could even leave it elevated, to put the cone in place yourself. Not practical, but doable.
