Cleaning up some felled trees out of a clients yard with Falcon X-cavation. Splitting and stacking the firewood into their sheds. Some monster knotty oak logs really made us work for it!
Wow! Outstanding video. Drome outstanding, music. Sam, one of the hardest working young ladies I have ever seen. Appreciate your hard work and video's!!
Great video Sam, great to have you back! I love the way you’re showing the incredible nature around you while detailing how you and Falcon are developing as a team.
I worked with a biker crew in far northern CA back in the 1970s. They were felling, cutting, and splitting 50 cords a week and selling in Reno NV. Now I barely go through a cord a year, down here in sunny San Antonio, across the alley from the Alamo. Proud to say I've never bought any firewood, only sold it or burnt it. Sitting by the stove right now, with my dogs. I really enjoy all your videos, Sam, keep up the good work!
Love the drone work and overall quality of the filming, Sam. ! In my youth have been exposed to tree felling, chunking and splitting and stacking. Splitter used was powered by a Honda car motor on a splitter my dad built . Mostly maple,birch and ash. Never saw anything as gnarly as you and your helpers were splitting. My dad used to cut at least 7 cords each year until he moved into an apartment in town. Handling wood is hard labor but great exercise when you are young and healthy. Always enjoy your videos and varied subject matter. Keep 'em coming ! 👍👍👍✌✌✌
Wow Sam got a lot of skillful and strong friends .... Watching this video was a very nice and restful hour in my todays afternoon .. thank's and greetings from austria 👍👍😎
What a lovely crew :) I am jealous of you being able to go down to the river, break some ice, then take a drink straight from the water. Some one I used to work with from South Africa, came from a large estate near Port Elizabeth. There are three rivers on their property. You can put an ohms meter in the water and not see any resistance, the water is pure. Pure water does not conduct electricity, only the impurities in water allow electicity to conduct ! You live a clean life, long may you do so :)
Actually the big fellow was slicing the edges and very few people know that is the way to cut difficult rounds, like Elm or those with knots. Also works on almost every other types of wood. He did a very good demonstration of that skill. There are difference ways to split wood and the good ways get the best results without completely wearing out the one doing the splitting. Personally, if I can't pick it up and put it on my splitter, I never cut trees that big, I have to many trees to cut much more around 20 inch round, 18" long. But every tub sets on its own bottom. All did a good job, except breaking the window.(:)
When I first saw you guys throwing the wood in the truck bed with no screen on the back window, I wondered how long before the glass was broken. That was a lot of work. The drone pictures at the beginning were great.
You youngins are great! I have not seen any young people work so hard other than me and my brother. At the very beginning I thought that back window was sure to get broken!
You guys really worked hard and it's great to see that in today's world. The way I attack those huge narly trunk logs is by chain sawing them into 12 inch long pieces and sometimes a bit smaller. 16 in or longer it's super hard to split them. Once you get them into small sections they will split fairly easy. Cutting with a chain saw down the length as you guys were trying to do is also really hard to do. For me I don't mind having small chunks , they all burn the same. Tree trunks are so fin heavy and unless you got equipment to lift them the best way is to cut them in small sections, it works for me because I'm an old bastard LOL and hate picking those suckers up. Keep up the good work , oh ya a headache rack for his truck saves windows and you can stack the wood higher , but you guys knew that didn't ya lol
Don't get in the way of the man with a star on his hat. That guy is a wood maul Monster. He is not afraid of work. Awesome. What a work ethic. I salute you sir from Florida. 😃😃😃
That is how you swing an axle like you really mean it Falcon I used to be like that when I was on my 20ts still am but not as much. Nice one Sam good friends and lots of fun I like that vibe 👏 👏 👏 👍👍 👌
Your friend stocking cap is an Animal When I was younger I did the same thing but I did have a log splitter did it all by hand every winter for 25 years Thanks for letting us stand at and watch
Man, I was worried...That dude be loving to swing his axe when your head was still over the chunk... that's very hard work... good to see more content being posted.
Put wood up on another piece or uphill. Swinging down through towards your feet will result in a very serious injury eventually. Keep your hands lower than the maul head at moment of impact. Club head speed -- smooth stroke, not a brute strength thing.
I have found that the best time to split wood with axes and mauls is below freezing. You don't get cold because you are working and since the wood is brittle from the freezing temp it splits easier.
The guy with the axe worries me Sam. The big guy has the right idea & takes his bits to chop well away from you & the splitter. Splitting should be in one area, & each axe guy should have his own zone to work within, away from each other & away from you. Swinging axes around like that when you were leaning in was hard to watch - be careful out there Sam, we love you & want you to be safe.
You're a hard worker Sam and so is that guy with the black stocking cap. That other guy bigger guy was all about watching and not doing too much...........
I would highly recommend Sam,for you to get a tractor with a bucket and a backhoe, don't know your finances but that would be a big plus for your channel to start with, I'm sure you could build your channel up to be a very big number of views and prescribers, because there is not too many women that does this work and you will stand out I'm just saying I wish you the most luck that you can possibly have, and I'm happy to see that you do have a channel. The best luck with your life and your happiness.
About a month ago I watched a fellow cutting his wood for his outside boiler, he loaded his trailer and stored the loaded trailer in an undercover shed of some sort, right where he needed it to feed the furnace. He left the wood in the trailer, only handled it once. Great videos Samatha, love your work ethic.
I used to fill a kitty litter bucket with chainsaw rip ribbons from knotty pieces I could not split. Some rounds a too knotty for a 22 ton wood splitter. Great teamwork!
36:17 you will get fine sawdust if you cut down the log with the grain. Turn the round 90 degrees so that long strips come out of the saw, and it will cut 20 times as fast. The saw could be sharp, but you were cutting with the grain.
I challenge you to make a 10min video unedited every day for 2 weeks and watch your views and subs grow as well as a nice little check from RU-vid 😁you can do it, even if it’s just making breakfast, playing with the dog, game night with the family, or fixing something I believe in ya kiddo and would love to see your channel grow. Hope to see ya again tomorrow
Just a safety warning or heads up.. striking a maul as shown with another maul can break off bits of metal. Safety glasses are suggested as had a close friend who lost one eye from just such an event. Sorry to see the broken window.
Andrew would of cut out a street sign and tac welded it in lol ;) Those spliters friggn ROCK, blow through sooo much more wood faster! Sam kicks ASS as always!!! 🤙
👍👌👏 3 really hard working young humans. Hope there will be a part two. 2) Misses Weber, why all the metal in your face? Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
There used to be a kind of lead furnace tape that you need tin snips to cut. I used some of that to hold a broken muffler together on my friend Sharron's pickup. She had the lifetime Midas guarantee and when she brought it in after two weeks the guys at the shop were dumbfounded and worried that that tape might put them out of business. I can't find it anymore. Falcon is Red Green cool. Never stop taping.
If you do it for free , people will spread word of your gift and bring you more work. GO THE EXTRA MILE. As Camarata says When you do something do it as if its gonna last a hundred years, don't do a crappy job!!!!
