Dude! Love your videos! Reminds me of cutting cedar shake bolts and fire wood with my dad back it the 70s and early 80s! Dad always ran Homelite saws till later when he switched to Husqvarna. He had an old 1949 power wagon with a pto driven big ass winch on it, that’s how we yarded most everything. Great memories with my dad! Keep them coming bud!! P.S. just found your channel, been busy binge watching to catch up lol
Well thanks for the supply friend we appreciate you!!! Memories with my dad are the greatest ever when we was in The mountains weather it be hunting, fishing, camping or wood cutting! Wouldn’t change them for anything!
I run a firewood show up in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. I cut primarily hardwood...Alder, Maple and Birch. Some fruit wood occasionally..Cherry, Plum. It's a way of life that I'm trying to hold onto as long as I can. Turning 60 in September..still out work guys half my age!! I enjoy your videos...and respect the hubby and wife team approach 💪🍁🔥
My dad was 80 and still cutting hardwood for others ( 20 - 30 cord a year ) he finally gave it up at 82 because of a stroke . You have years of life left in you .
i love watching you guys i was once able to do all the wood cutting you do and i did my wood cutting in the winter to so do not let those bleep holes get to you .🤟🤟
In your last video you said you weren't in very good shape, your in way better shape than I am I can tell you that lol. Another great video David. I love how nice that Fir splits, it's awesome looking wood.
just found ya channel love it i used tio cut sell firewood before health problems man i sure miss it always in the woods you are youre own boss excellent exercise i subbed too the channel hit the bell love ya channel
One of my favorite things to do....love the smell, sound and woods....keep it up buddy. I'm in MT for good but I grew up in the Yakima Valley....where you at?
thats awesome! In michigan where i live you cannot cut dead standing trees on state land . Im sure you are on private or rules are different. thats some good wood!
You get your logos done I’ll send my coveralls you can put it on there 👌🏽 I’ve thought about starting a RU-vid channel of wood cutting around here in Oregon 👌🏽
You have to laugh when you think about how many times you touch a piece of wood until it actually goes in the wood stove. Been cutting and splitting for 25 years and it never gets old. Course i'm a lot slower now. Great video David. Do you run a stock engine in the saw or soup-ed up?
@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie hemlock can be stringy as all hell, I'm guessing that he might be comparing how the fir 'pops' easier maybe 🤷♂️. My ol man told me hemlock was good firewood and they cut it once in awhile on the coast but split like the butt log of a big fir wood tree.
What's the wood cutter's etiquette for leaving wood behind? Is it fair game for the next cutter, or do people know you are are coming back for the rest of it and to leave it alone?
I run Echo chainsaws. Cs800 p 32-in bar and cs7310 p 28-in I also have a 24 inch bar. The echo 590 timberwolt 20 inch bar. I can handle just about anything that comes my way. I get a lot of tree service wood here in the city.
Awesome video man , idk if you could but a small sawmill would be a great investment some of your logs would bring a good profit much more than firewood you could do both and the mill would pay for itself in a couple months
Great videos buddy, love the channel! I side hustle firewood myself down here in Eastern Oregon, we still got too much snow for me to get to my good spots. Man I hate leaving a good log like that on the side of the road, most of the time its gone by the time I can get back to it. Is that a common issue where you’re at or is there a little more respect when somebody figures you’re coming back for it? Keep your chains sharp and stay safe!
It’s usually gone by the next day but mostly during hunting season (fall) because everyone is trying to get firewood… I have two cord 3/4 of the way bucked up and it will most likely be there in the morning… but if it was fall they would have it bucked and loaded by the time I hit pavement
Is there a lot of dead fir up in your area or do you gotta hunt for it? Down in my area the Fir is pretty healthy but the pine is dying off due to beetles. Takes work to find a good standing dead Doug fir.
This man has some demons but carries them like a gentleman. God I’d love to buy him a beer and hear some stories. The way he chops is scary but beautiful. World needs more men like this dude.
can you cut wood all year? our permits run from may 1st to Sept 30th. I just went and got my permit today and it was free up to 6 cords. Again nice wood. God bless and stay safe.
And? It’s illegal to mill trees like this and once these trees die from fire they only have a short window to get milled into lumber before the mills won’t take them
