I do like that idea. I have thought for a long time, my dad and I both would be good advertisement for Ford. If only they had any idea what we have put their trucks through over the past few decades.

Nice camera work

Great content, and it's great that you display that you don't need expensive equipment to Log. I am going to try the rigging system you use, but I think a learning curve is going to be my reality. I agree about the safety gear, I run a 5.6HP saw, it will amputate....lol

If I remember right, part of your sawdust system involves a part of a Ford. Not sure what that says about Ford. It could probably go either way.😁

Great techniques here, mainly the Bite Me, the world needs more of that. Have seen your sharpening vid, so no surprise how fast you're cutting. Can you show us the self release block, at your landing in another vid pls, I would like one of those. I tow my logs around with an old Ditch witch, and I often Snipe the leading end, stops it snagging on roots and rocks, stopping progress, easier with a saw, once done by real men with the axe.😅 Keep up the good labour day labour 👍

Great tips for getting logs out of difficult terrain. Any issues keeping chains sharp while bucking after dragging them? Great channel. Thanks for the effort to share.

@WilsonForestLands

Dragging them through the dirt always makes them dull faster. There are ways I manage it. If you notice on the first log, I cut it into firewood length rounds before yarding it out. But I only cut about 2/3 of the way through so they stay attached. I hook the line on it so the part of the log that is already cut will be the part that drags on the ground. The other side I still have to cut will be clean, if all goes right. I didn’t do that on the second log, partly because it just came up whole unexpectedly, and because it has smooth bark that doesn’t collect as much dirt as furrowed bark.

A dentist drill has a top speed of about 30,000 rpm. I do believe your chainsaw exceed that!

The cost may be the reason why you have not done it, but have you considered getting a second bed for your woodmizer to make milling at both places easier? Then you would only have to move the sled(?) between the properties. The woodworking enthusiast in me feels a little sad to see such thick trees bucked into firewood.

What a mess, Good luck with that property!

They make shackle trailer hitch receivers that are meant to act as a pulling point for your vehicle. They are reasonably affordable and a good piece of kit to add to your vehicle recovery setup.

Slickly done, (but "not in a creepy way") with that block and tackle. Do you find the scent of Grand fir to be a pleasant citrus-like odour? I actually prefer it to Doug-fir, but only just. The wry tone in your voice of causing the overnight rain by leaving gear outside is spot-on. I find it's a better method than a rain-dance or sacrificing small creatures, (again, not in a creepy way...) I also laboured on Labour Day. Every day is Monday on this property! Cheers from an (approaching soggy) Linn County.

I prefer to have every day a Monday. I haven’t thought of grand fir being citrus like, but I can see where you are coming from there. Or maybe I should say smell, not see. When it is fresh cut and green I really like the smell. It’s a tough call but I might actually like it more than Doug fir. The pitch can be messy, getting all over my clothes and gloves, but it sure makes everything smell good. But if you cut into a rotten one, those can really stink.

What will happen to your trees at the side of your forest. They always be subject to high winds. Will they fell of one by one?

What do you think of that Grand Fir as firewood? I get lots of it where I am and I find it to be “meh” to burn. Not a lot of heat.

I don’t spend the winters in this area so I don’t burn it. I spend my winters at the other property that is in another area where we don’t have grand fir. Comments I have heard from around here is it makes good kindling and it’s good for starting fires and getting quick heat. But it does burn up fairly fast.
