I would be dead in 15 minutes if I tried to do that. The boss is a hard working man. Even out in the forest he wasn't about to let you get in any danger. You have a great dad and role model. Thank you.

I remember in a past vid Emerald commenting on trimming the bottom end of the log with a tapered cut. But I did not know why until now. Thanks.

That job is not for the weak at heart. Rigging the chains and cables is a art and the Boss knows it well. Thank u Emerald for the video and it is always good to see you with the Boss in that environment not a good place to work alone.

Geez Emerald. Your Dad is amazing!!

As a 92 tear old Forester who has spent many years on logging sites you all know what you are doing and talking about. As an aside, your Girls are out standing.

Videos with The Boss in the woods are my favorites. I'll never have the pro equipment that he uses, but there are always a few techniques I could apply for felling trees on my property.

Always a treat to have your dad giving advice on life and lumbering ! Don’t see your older brother anymore and wondering if he is ok ?

That boss man is built like barbed wire ! What a great team you have there . Pure guts all round . Hi from down under

Just caught up on the last few days vids. When you said lubemizer in the other vid and jade bursted into laughter funniest thing ever. 🤣

Great video! Nice to see the harvest of logs before the sawmill.

Always like when Boss mans on your videos. Like to see more of Mom & Grandpa to.

Your dad is the type of person that will save this country when the time comes. He is smart and hardworking. He reminds me of my father, who has long passed. Good video Emerald.

PNW here......nice looking tember....great video and info....Thank You....

Great info Bossman. I am in the eastern WV mountains where logging still is an active industry. During the Civil War as troops fought around here they discovered that these mountains held plenty of virgin timber. So after the war companies came in and built railroads, namely using Shay engines to traverse the steep grades and get the timber. One such RR still operates as an exhibit, the Cass Scenic RR. I really enjoy when you tell us about your logging. Check out the history of logging here in WV as I think you will really enjoy it. I hike in the Monongahela National Forest, about 991,000 acres, which was timbered in the 1900’s finishing in about 1930-33 when the land was sold to the forest service I think to later become a national forest. Many of the trails are old railroad beds and often the cut ties are still in the ground in a decaying state. Love the channel and enjoy the your hard working family showing us all how it’s done.

Em, your dad is one really talented fellow. You should be proud.

Well done! As a woodworker I use two kinds of maple. One as a paint grade maple and the other as a clear maple. Both grades make wonderful cabinets and furniture! Thank you for what you do and for doing the hard work......clearly a young man's job.

I always enjoy the Boss video's - you know you're gonna take away something valuable.

Boss man full of knowledge. God bless you all 🙏🏾

Ken is such a wealth of knowledge.

Those chips were a thing of beauty.

You are a delight to listen tob ,your knowledge and easy approach to a difficult job is something to be admired. I have learned much from just listening to the Boss Man !

Thanks M for being bold enough to hold the camera in the dust spray

Still getting over how good those wood shavings from the chainsaw were, the true mark of a perfectly sharpened chain.

I like how you finished the back cut offset just above the wedge, I have destroyed more wedges than I can count trying to make an even inline back cut.

I have a lot of respect for someone who chooses to do such laborious work to make a living. I'm betting that Boss Man doesn't have any trouble falling asleep once he hits the hay at night.

I started logging on the west coast back in the late 60's. I learned that technique to get a log passed the stump early on. For some reason they called it a squaw hump. I have no idea why. The Boss man does it all. Very impressive.

Great idea to leave the stumps by the edge to keep the skids from sliding off, that is a steep drop-off Bossman

Ken thank you. Also being among your trees you seem more willingness to be around the camera. Also it looks as if you've dropped a few pounds. I could honestly watch a learn from you for a day or Three weeks. Depending on how much time Em could be away from the yard. Full respect my friend and for ANYONE whom maintains thier equipment. A very well done video Miss Emerald I thank you.

Couple of nuggets of info from a Pro- Thanks Boss Man!

A few snatch blocks in your inventory will help with trees that fall in undesirable spots.

This is a pretty interesting intersection between really really understanding nature, and getting it all done with the help of machines - ie: modern technology.

Ken, there are many aspects of your logging and milling business that look incredibly difficult and potentially dangerous! It is very impressive to see how you and your family have incorporated thoughtfulness and good science in managing the entire operation.

Very impressive '1 man operation', stay safe.

Thank you Ken for the informative video There are a lot of things you have shown us that we take for granted, We can appreciate hot in the summer and cold and icy in winter from your past videos and the danger of working alone. Bet it was a treat to have some company on site today, good job with the camera there Emerald!

I really enjoyed this one. Comforting to know that The Boss has such extensive knowledge and experience and that he works safely.

Not just loggers watch your videos. But for me it's good to get a hint as to how others get thier job done, challenges and methods. One never knows when a bit of info can help others. Thank you. (I am not planning on using anything I learn on your channel to use, definitely out of my league).

Just found your videos a couple of weeks ago and have been bingeing (sp)since. I use a lot a rough sawn hardwoods in my small furniture business 30 miles north of Pittsburgh and my son and I cut a lot of fire wood on his property. I find your vids very entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work. The Boss and Mom should be very proud. Ever consider beer mugs for the merch. shop?

Fascinating. I'll look for more of these in the field videos with your boss on your channel. Really like the equipment and woods experience. And you know you've got an experienced arbor/ logger in the woods when you come upon piles of spaghetti. Now that is a sharp saw! P.S. you look radiant and beautiful in this lighter summer themed look!

Fantastic info.

Awesome info

Thanks!

Thinning trees along the road probably helps for wind and sun to get in after a rain for faster drying. The sooner you can get back to using the road the better.

Though I may have missed this in earlier videos, I would be interested in hearing your dad tell how he got into being a a one man timber operation!

this is hard work in that kind of relief. forest where i work for my firewood is completely flat and different. Baltic plane is covered with birch and pines. if we do not cut them, whole country would be taken over by forest in couple decades. especially birches. they expand real fast.

Your no-nonsense style is great. Just found you this morning, ooo pretty girls, then I kept watching and found that is the least of what you are. Great videos thanks for sharing. btw no gloves, you must get some splinters, no? enjoy your day and the rest of summer fall and winter are on the way. do you shoot vids year round?

That’s some good stuff there, great video!

Thanks girls and dad. :)

Hell yeah! learnt something

A fella here in Western CO was delivering equipment to a logging site a few years back. Some how hydraulics let down and pinned his foot to the deck of the trailer. He was alone and miles from help, but he had a sharp knife. He cut through his boot, then amputated the part of his foot that was pinned. I think they even had him on Letterman, after that (lol).

Wow you really put in a good days work. Glad to see you use safety equipment. For me, I have to at least wear glasses because sawdust seems to go straight for my eyes lol.
