Well, whenever your Dad goes in front of the camera, he steals the show !! Great video, and very refreshing to hear 16 minutes of common sense...

The kind of hard working family which built the USA 🇺🇸

Thank you Em for putting your father in the spotlight. His thoughts and experience are wide and strong with much for us to learn from. Lessons learned are lessons taught. Stay safe, healthy and happy.

Thank you for the comment. Happy Holidays. Boss Man.

Great video by Miss Em..... thanks. "The Boss" is a great teacher and has much wisdom as well as a ton of experience to share with us. I was a timber faller in Oregon cut bigger trees so we ran 32, 36 or 42 inch bars on the big Douglas fir trees. Blessings to you folks...

What a proud smile from your dad. Family values, where have they gone? So good to see them at work🇺🇸

You made your dads day Emerald. It is fantastic you spending this time with him sharing his passion. Good stuff. I wish I could go back and record these moments with my dad when he got excited talking about his logging equipment. When you work alone every day in the woods or anywhere for that matter it really means something when someone takes an interest in what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.

Dads proud smile at the end, looking at the "vidya producer" is hearth warming. 👍 Amen to most of what's said, I use two pair of boots just to always have one dry and warm set waiting for me after lunch 😁 A pair of protective pants and a light filing of the chain after every refill ads a lot to safety, Em knows what a good sharp knife means, the same goes for a sharp chain with less skipping and miscutting. From the land of all imaginable safety, and more 😒, rules, Sweden 😉

Having worked outside all of my life I can say that your words ring true. Never buy cheap tools and never forget about safety. I've lost friends because they did that "one" thing that backfired on them.

Dad is a wealth of knowledge,,what he just shared with us is 20 plus years of learning the hard way ,,thank you for sharing

Good job and thanks BOSS and Emerald 👏👏👏👏👌

No questions here. You have good solid equipment. Thanks for taking the time to support your crew!

Proud Dad and rightfully so!

You can tell The Boss is well seasoned in what he does because he has a wealth of knowledge and and a lot of creative ideas. He’s a well tuned machine, like his saw. Lol. Love Y’all’s channel.

Great content, the Boss man is very articulate in his presentations. A natural teacher! Thank you!

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day..!!

I agree the husky is best and that helmet looks fantastic. Thank you for your time sir and the best wishes to you.

Really enjoyed your Dad’s opinions and advice. My nephew is at Paul Smith College in the Adirondaks studying Forestry and is already logging. I sent this video to him for review. Thanks for all the pointers!

Great to hear from the old man again. Much respect. From a fellow parent, worker bee, and climber.

A star is born.

Hiya Emerald, Yet another great video, thank you. Ken wonderful video, thank you for being bullied into doing this, your insights are always worth hearing, as is your sage advice, especially about the vice. You are an eminently practical man, full of wisdom gained from your life in the woods, and in the yard. I hope to hear from you again soon. Both of you stay safe, Steve...

Excellent video Em and your father AKA The Boss.

The Boss Man is a natural in front of the camera. Good video; informative and interesting.

Have you noticed how many safety guys start out their safety story well when I got hurt I don’t wanna take safety advice from a guy that’s got hurt I wanna take safety advice from the guy this work for 40 years and never lost a finger never lost a toe I’m a heavy equipment mechanic that means a lot

More Boss videos please. Learned a lot from the presentation. Thanks

The Boss, was very informative and detailed , glad to see such professionalism… thank you!

Thank You Sir for all the information.

I see where you gals get your sense of humor Have a great day girls

Really enjoyed this. Always interesting listening to someone experienced in a field point out obvious to them reasons for doing things that I would never have thought about.

Emerald, your dad is right on point, he did not mention that with a twenty inch bar, its balanced much better so a quick snap start is quite doable and not get a leg in the saw. I agree that over length bars do have a place... not very many times, but that one time you do need a longer bar.. you have tomorrow and come back prepared for that. I used to pack two extra chains with me as sharpening is really not done as well if tired, and needing that chain to preform its best. I used to hand file for Crown Zellerbach because they had over two hundred faller and buckers who did a great job for them so they catered to their wishes. Other wise, it was all ground chains,... you have too many problems with chains or blowing up those saws provided by the company... your paycheck reflexed a change of employment. I got more money for doing all their sharpening of their chain saws, their milling saws that included some very large band blades.. those blades started out as a six inch wide blade, when worn out would still be close to five or over but heat damage is too much to chance. I did the insert teeth on their large circular saws blades as they also ran gang saws that could have as many as ten blades whirling to cut rough dimension lumber... also did their planer blades an thats a tough one if done wrong just may cost that whole blade being tossed.. I did wear them down in increments, cause even after that board had made it through several different saws to get to that point, you found metal or rock... some knots were just unbelievable. This was done in the sixties for me an they were gone by early seventies leaving a huge hole in the neighboring towns. I can see that your dad is quite proud of you kids as his attitude shows some patience but little for slack. Your not always going to saw lumber, time will come for you to start a family of your own and dad a grandpa... no hurry on that one. Great time listening to your dad It would take a whole long time explaining how to hammer a circular saw blade to true it....

Thanks Emerald for your Dad’s equipment review. Very informative. Good job. 👍🇺🇸👏🏻.

We appreciate you roping your Dad into these. To the Big Boss, thank you for the clean, clear and practical explanation of your gear and why you use it. (those are lessons learned from long hard hours)

Cost of boots: people need to think of them as a tool. Different boots for different applications. When you invest in a good tool or the correct tool, the work is much easier.

Great video. The 390 is a good saw. I'll keep my 372. Had it for years. Y'all take care and have a blessed day and be careful out there.

Thanks Russ Robinson > Dawsonville , Georgia Thanks again For All The Information On Tree Cutting

That was a good video and good info he has a dangerous job. i was a truck mechanic for thirty-eight years and i would paint my tools orange or yellow or both and the younger guys would ask if it was the way i marked my tools and i told them it was so i would not lose them. good tools ant cheap so i learned to take a pretty tool and paint it.

Enjoyed the video. I always learn new things watching your channel. The Boss always has great advise.

I have just one question: How do we give these videos multiple thumbs-up? We have some insight why Emerald is able to provide great descriptions of the workings of the log yard. Teacher -- student.

Sweet! Tomorrow's project: Build a vice like that for my receiver hitch.

Thanks “Boss”, a very inciteful video. I heard a rumor that ‘Em,Jade and Sammie want a LT70 (LOL) Your vice attachment for the receiver is an awesome but simple idea

That look of pride by the Boss at the end made the video for me!

Love the vice set up. Pisses me off I never thought of it. Never wanted vice permanently mounted on truck because of salt.

Hey Boss Man. Do not be wary of the cam! You are doing great!

I enjoy the content this channel puts out but my favorite (by far) is when Boss Dad makes his rare appearance and gives us his personal insight (from his vast experience ) on the actual tree felling he does and his honesty he conveys while doing so. Be safe out there, your family needs you ! God bless.

My " chainsaw tool" was always reffered to as a "scrench " screw driver and wrenxh together.

Ok, the man's a genius! That vice mount is pure brilliance!

Very informative video, thanks for sharing.

I say a prayer , just before firing up my chainsaw . Falling has the highest fatality rate of any profession . Just last week a local man was killed falling , and the young man he was teaching was seriously injured . Stay safe 👍🇨🇦

a BOSS MAN video !!!!! Thanks for sharing the tools and safety issues of your job, productive and safe logging to you so the young ladies can keep the mill buzzing.

What a great video, thank you! Your Dad (the boss) does an awesome job of explaining things!

I know he hates it and says that everytime, but your dad is great on this channel as well. So you gotta encourage him to make an appearance every now and then to share his experiences and things he knows. I didn't even realize there were loggers in PA. I guess I always picture Oregon and Washington as the logging states and whatever timber was felled in NY, NJ, PA was only done part time or periodically when a certain property was being developed or whatever. Thanks again.

Timber, oil and coal were the mainstays of PA. You should see some of the mansions left by the timber barons of old. Some amazing places! PA is roughly 60% trees and is named appropriates "Penn's woods".

Thanks! I run a Jonsered 2186 (red 385xp) with port work most of the time, a 395xp and a 3120xp- big cottonwood removal saws, we clean ditch banks often. I'm trying to find that helmet now

Great video ,thanks to the Boss for sharing his knowledge and experience with us .

This is really interesting to me. I heated my house for 30 years with wood. The last decade or so I purchased PULP WOOD in bulk for firewood. It was two 24 foot trailers brought down from the mid to upper Michigan lower peninsula. Then, pulp wood came in logs 6 to about 18 inches in diameter. With a hydrolic Grabber like you have, The logger would stack up neatly, both trailer loads into one long, tight stack of logs. With my two PRO MAC 850's (5 cubic inch) chain saws and a Stihl Pro 360, I would climb up onto the top of the stack, cut off 16 - 18 inch sections and 'kick' them off the stack to be split by hand. Splitting was easy as the wood was "green" with plenty of water content. One load would yield about 20 full cords of wood: 4 x 4 x 8. I loved the labor and the reward of all the warmth I wanted for the winter. Did all my own service / maintenance on my big saws: sharpening, cleaning the power head, bar, air filters etc. Ran with 40:1 mix instead of the usual 50:1 and, of course with stabilizer. Even after all those years, and cutting mountains of wood, my saws still ran like new. This is an informative, delightful and reminding adventure you and your family have taken me on. Thank You for the "relived" memories. Kind, Appreciative Regards, Dave Franklin

Briliant video. I liked the way the Boss, explains his setup. How all the equipment works.

Dad is a thinker. Very important in the woods and raising girls. I keep thinking how infuriating it would be to realize purchased logs are short. Em, now you've got to get your mom and g-pa to speak on cam. It's only awkward the first time.

Well done folks. 👍 Once again a very interesting and informative episode. It takes me back to my first job at 15 doing just that except that I wasn’t strong enough to pick up the chainsaws of the day which were Solo and Danarm brands, some of them had old float carbies so you had to swivel the bar so that the engine could stay upright!🤪 Some we’re two man saws, one each end. Different days, but the men were still as tough. Keep the coming Emerald.💕👍

I always enjoy hearing from a man that knows what he is talking about and gives it to ya straight. Thanks

That 390 with a 20 inch is all the saw you'll ever need. We run a full skip chisel chain for all our cutting. It cuts great and a whole lot less sharpening. Give it a try.

Yes! Nice inclusion of the boss man for another great video. Thanks!

I was a tree feller from 1978 to 1998 in the big pines and red oaks of central and northern New Hampshire. We had one of the very first wood.mizers. they called it LT 15 but it was not like today's mills.

I really enjoyed this video. Lots of practical advice for me!

Em that was very a good video. Boss man you did great. you have a lot of experience and knowledge to pass on to people. The move videos you do the easer it will get. I am looking forward to your next video. You could not have anybody better than Em helping do the videos. Have a great.

Love this channel!

I call your are a branding hatchet. The hammer end had "JB" tooled into the hammer side so I could mark the end of my logs. I used a pair of huskies in the woods. I started with the 164 and went to the 266. The big pines took a 24 inch bar. The chisel chain came out while I was in the woods. Before that we sharpened the round tooth chain.

You're a freakin' inspiration. Thanks!

Great video! Thanks for the 20” bar tip. I know your a safety guy but I’d keep a tourniquet in your tool belt. Just sayin…

Glad to see you are wearing face protection, I remember when I was a kid my stepdad was a lumberjack and the chain on his saw broke and it whipped back and cut his face wide open, he almost lost his eye, he had that scar for the rest of his life.

Love this and the way your Dad looks at you with such pride, awesome. Keep the videos coming they are a nice look into an industry that we don't know enough about

Excellent and informative video. Love y’all and what you do. 🇺🇸❤️👍🏼😊

Another awesome Video Em , Great descripton of all the tools essiential to working in the woods safely Boss man.

Lots of great notes in this video. The clicker counter is worth its weight in gold, and I like the idea of having the brush handy. Saw maintenance and safety will pay dividends. I'm enjoying the setup!

Great video !!! I agree with what the Boss says about why to use certain things but, for different reasons. I fell and cut trees for personal use on the farm, fencing, firewood, or something to be milled, usually cutting/bucking 10 cords of firewood a year. Long bars aren't worth the effort when bucking blocks of firewood on a stack of logs. The dangers of having a long bar cutting into other logs alone outweigh it's use/need. I've also use a paint brush to clean my fuel and oil ports. Also, I have around 30 chains, like the Boss said, it is easier to change a chain in the cut and keep cutting than it is to sharpen, when I get low, I'll use a day to sharpen them all. I liked his non argument about the difference between Husqvarna and Stihl. After spending many years with Husqvarna I was presented the opportunity to switch to Stihl in what I believe to be a ridiculous way. Loved Husqvarna but all the dealers around me dried up and, I needed a new saw so, instead of putting in the mileage to get Husky, I drove 7 minutes to a Stihl dealer gave him the specs of what I had been using for comparison and walked out 30 minutes later with a new Stihl. I love it as well but would not compare the two... I see it this way, you use what you need and you need what you use - both are great products. Lastly, I was looking forward to hearing something about the saw that was sitting on the truck, up on the side tool box, it looked pretty rugged. Great show, Stay safe!!!

That was a good video with a lot of great information.

Great video. Really appreciated the in depth knowledge and reasoning. Keep 'em coming!

This 69 yr old guy in North Central Ohio is always ready to learn more . I very much appreciated this video . I don't cut many trees , but the few that I do , I want to do safely .

Essential Craftsman has an episode on his channel about the Spencer logging tape. I also have one of the small Estwing single piece axes. Both items are far and away worth the money.

Love any videos where you get the Boss in there Emily!!! 💯 I really enjoy any videos from the woods being a Logger and Mill owner myself!! 👍♥️
