Great video, brother

Good to see a video hope you and the wife are feeling better

Glad to see you protecting the rest of the woods from damage the best you can, Steve. I couldn't stay and watch the carnage where you were before. It was like clearcut after that machine cutting. Thanks for posting. Wedge use would be a good topic for videos.

It's all about what the Forester and or landowner want. There's a place for production crews who move a lot of wood but might not do the cleanest job, and there's a place for guys like Stevie who take the utmost pride in being a good steward leaving things better then they found them. Takes all kinds of kinds

Good job Steve. I've got some of the long ones and the barbed ones. Take care and be careful out there and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.

Looking damn good Steve! I carry three as well usually 2-10" and an 8"

Awesome use of wedges stevie. Stay safe man.

Good job Stevie:):)

Pro tips at its best.

Thanks for sharing

👍👍

Nice "Wedgie" commentary Stevie.

No fiber pull close to ground good control of drop. At first I thought you was trying to keep off a fence line. Good job watching you is like watching someone play pool oak in the corner of the logger road.

Nice work there Billy Bob!,!!! That white oak is Purdy!,!!

Not bad for a rookie

Using multiple wedges to distribute the load makes them go over easier for sure.

Picked up a jack for those days my joints ain't up for the wedging..28 ton Borntrager..but then again wedges are lighter in the pocket I know..I keep it nearby now.

Red head is K&H . It definitely takes all kinds to get’em on the ground. For me it always seems like the only time a wedge shoots out is when it’s the worst possible time. That’s why I always set 2 no matter what.

Hey Steve 👋 put it right ware you you wanted it. Nice stump

No better test for your stamina than pounding wedges in a stubborn tree lol

Hey billow, what do you recommend far is wedging really hard trees like Hye-jin Locust because hedging Logan seem to launch wedges out 2030 feet I do not hold a wedge do you think I like those Barb I deserve the best ones?

Old Skool carried a whole 5 gallon bucket of wedges. I don't think I have ever seen anyone use the amount of wedges he beats in. It was moving but I thought you were gonna have to double up on this one but she down!👍

Yes and maybe some hauling but not much if I do

I am a boatbuilder in Maine . makes me sick to think of a tree like that turned into veneer. thats good boat lumber that does not grow here.

Get as geeky as you want. Not all of your subs are loggers.

Ur wasting energy not given tree time to settle 1 2 wait 1 2 wait I'm no pro yet but I've noticed when I wedge if I hit few times wait it goes easier. I'm sane way carry backpack full of different wedges

Iv been logging for 12 years and know that when I hit a wedge and its solid theres no time to wait. Once you start lifting a heavy leaner you dont want to wait, you will lose your forward drive and will wedge hard the whole way. Thanks for your comment

Yeah leaners definitely don't want to wait you're right about that... I use sledge hammer to drive wedges so when I've got trees leaning or just equal on weight in the top n just want to stand there I can drive them fast n hard when it starts moving
