Hi David! Thank you for complimenting my thoughtfulness. It goes unrecognized too often 🤣 Appreciate the well wishes on hunting. It’s been slow to this point. Take care! WST
Hello Purple Collar!! Those pieces are still big, but much more manageable from what they were. 3 days of noodling to get that pile you saw. Thanks for the compliment on the lights. Just got off the tractor and they worked awesome in the woodyard. Got and extra hour of work because of them. Thanks for watching! WST
Wow, it seems so early for snow, but it is almost Thanksgiving. That hay wagon is great for firewood. I like anything that keeps it off the ground. I have a practice that I never let wood tough the ground once I pick it up once. Too much bending over for me.
Hi Phil! That hay rack is awesome. I’ve used it for 5 years now. Best little investment I made. It needs a new deck, but it will do for now. Anything anyone can do to make work easier, means they will be able to do that work for a long time. That’s the goal here… longevity! Thanks for watching my friend! WST
I’m the same. No one at work knows about mine, only a handful of good tight lipped friends know. I told Alison it’s my alter ego. We could start a series, “The secret lives of the woodhounds” 😂😂😂. Appreciate you man! Keep up the good work!
Hi Mike! Yep! It’s not a bad thing to keep it quiet. As soon as you tell someone, it turns into the Kardashians at Golden Corral. Everyone is talking about it. I appreciate the comment and sharing. Take care my friend and I will see you on the next one. WST
Hi Logger Al! Sitting in the blind now. Hoping and praying something comes through. We will see. Are you hunting?? If so, all the best to you! Take care my friend! WST
@@WSTMike this is the first year since I was 12 years old that I'm not going hunting. I'm 55 now. I have just kinda lost the drive to get everything ready for hunting this year. All my hunting Partners have either passed away or have just given up the sport. It's just not much fun hunting by yourself. Hopefully you have a great season!!
Good jop on your firewood the moming this was nice firewood you did i work on firewood too we have outdoor wood board work on are shop are home too love your video
Hi Travis! Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate that. Trying to get as far as I can on boiler wood, so I can start selling wood. Gotta take care of me before someone else. Thanks for watching my friend! WST
I love this video and you shouldnt feel bad about being ethical. Mature deer are always better to take because of proper herd management that will last you for generations!!!
Good Morning WD30! I never feel bad about being ethical, that I’m aware of anyway. The herd in my area is a bit of a mess. Hard to manage it when you have 300 acres of state land adjoining your property. People shot anything and everything. Sad.
Good job in the wet snow Mike.. Here in my wood yard everything is soaked from rain till at least spring, but,its got to get done rain, snow or shine.. Even if its just a little bit every day.. I am running my channel the same way my brother lives in Florida and he had no idea for 2 years I have been uploading and all of a sudden one of my videos popped up on his feed..
Hi Daniel! A little bit every time I can does go a long way. Glad to see you are flying under the radar too. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment when you can see what you built mostly on your own. Take care and thanks for watching!
Good video Mike. Your chat made me feal like we have alot in common. Both hunting thoughts and youtube channel/ old family firewood traditions. Im confedent your channel will really take off. Here in Missouri we have a 4 point antler restriction. Must have 4 points on at least one side. Boy has it made a big differance in the quality of bucks we have running around. Take Care Mike !!!
Hey Eskimo Don! I appreciate your comments. By sharing what I'm thinking, I've been getting a lot more comments and interaction on the channel. That is what is cool about doing this. I wish we had your rules for deer here is Michigan. They are still worried about CWD and want the population decimated it seems. It sucks! Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment. WST
WST in my opinion your channel is going somewhere. On the noodles, put them in empty dogfood sacks and use them for firestarters. Another good one sir....
Hi Brian! Thank you for the nice compliment! I hope it does go somewhere. I’m having a lot of fun doing it. Thank you for watching and take care my friend! WST
I remember when I was younger and a lot more serious about deer hunting. I would always cuss the one guy who decided to cut wood on opening weekend!! 🤣 I know what you mean on the public over populated land where you have a trigger happy guy behind every tree! 👍🏻👍🏻🐿
Hey Todd! Yea, I hear what you are saying. We get a lot of down state people that come up and are butchers. Can’t stand it! My deer are pretty use to me cutting etc, but they will vary their path if I’m in the woodyard. That is what I did…. Varied it!! Thanks for watching my friend and take care!
Hello WST finally getting a chance to check out you channel and really like the down to earth style as I'm also working on my channel myself trying to figure things out as I go. I believe your not that far from my as I'm also in Southern Michigan now but live in. Houghton lake for awhile so I'm familiar with the area. Wishing all the best with your channel and who knows maybe we could get together and do wood, good luck
Hi Dave! I appreciate you watching. I am just being myself and seeing where it goes. I am having fun doing it. You never know, we may get together and do some wood. WST
Hey Ax! I appreciate the no forwarding. I try to make firewood as interesting as it can be. Those Cajun builds are eaters! I have another build coming very soon from Kevin LaVanway. 372XPW Ported. It will eat, I promise. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! WST
Hi Larry!! Nice to see you again. It infuriates me to no end to see little dogs for deer getting processed. Anyway, I appreciate you watching and enjoying! Take care my friend! WST
I have 55acres in Au Gress, MI that butts up to state land on the North and West side and there were a lot of people hunting the north side November 15. That morning A guy (trespasser) just comes walking through my woods waving his flashlight a 100yds in front of where my friend was hunting, my friend yelled and the dude just kept waving the flash light and walking farther in then turned his flash light off, soon as the sun came up my friend heard a shot from over that way, not sure if it was him or not. Some people have no respect and they also shoot anything and everything they see. Good luck hunting Mike, stay safe
Hey Robot Looee! Nice to see you again. I hear exactly what you are saying. These state land guys are insufferable. Drives me nuts! The season to this point has not been good at all. Deer movement, even with the snow has been next to nothing. We will see when muzzleloader comes around in January. I appreciate you watching and I loved your comment. Take care and best of luck to you, if you haven’t bagged one already. Take care! WST
REALLY COOL " LED " ZEPPELIN LIGHTS MIKE, I CAN SEE-EM ALL THE WAY OVER HERE... OH... WATE... MAYBE THAT'S ALPHA- SENTARI CAN'T TELL, THE 60s WAS GOOD TO ME... I LIKE THAT COOL SNOW FOOTAGE! I HAVEN'T SEEN IT SNOW FOR PROBABLY 10 - 15 YEARS... THAT'S WHY I CAN'T WATE TO GET TO THE CABIN, I'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ALL FOUR SEASONS AGAIN AFTER 43 YEARS OF " HOT " I USED TO HAVE A WAGON, BUT MINE WAS GERMAN... YOU SCARED ALL THE DEER SPLITTIN'... I THINK I SEEN- EM OVER AT STICK SHIF ( D'S ) HOUSE... SEE YA ON THE NEXT ONE MIKE, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS??? PEACE...
Gringo Pines!!! QQQ How goes it my friend? QQQ Always wanted to ask, but never did…. Why all CAPS? I have no issue with it, just want to know why? The lights are bright, the feeling is right, we are going to party all night…. In the woodyard! Thanks for watching my friend. I appreciate you!! WST
@@WSTMike IT GO'S MIKE... JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE... SHOULD-A ASKED SOONER, YAM-EASY - LIKE SUNDAY MORNIN'... I USE ALL CAPS CAUSE I LIKE TO HEAR WHAT I'M WRITIN'... BBC PEACE...
Hey Mike! Still here! I’ve had a few channels where my sub to them dropped. Not sure why. No worries and glad you stopped by. I have nothing to send you up there. It’s been the quietest season to date. Not good. Take care my friend! WST
Hello Shallow Pockets Acres! I agree. It does not bother them much, but does alter their path. They like to cross through the woodyard Olin to the state land. Me being there throws a bit of a wrench into things. More so, the hunters don’t like to hear me cutting and splitting. Thanks for watching and commenting! WST
More faster=better. I used a homemade splitter my father built in the 80's for years, single stage pump 5hp. Finally had to retire the old girl (gifted to a nephew). Heck, the deer on my property don't even hardly bat an eye at chainsaws and splitters anymore. Enjoyed the vid.
Hi Bill! I thought more faster sounded more fun 🤣 Would I be able to convince you I was an English major in college??? 🤣 I’m struggling with keeping it or moving on in regards to the splitter. It has sentimental value for sure. The deer here I so used to be also. When I’m in the woodyard they do tend to vary their normal path. So, that’s what I was doing. Thanks for watching my friend! WST
When you say cord of wood ( 6 ) I assume you mean face cords ! A cord of fire wood is a neatly stacked 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 foot - 128 cubic stack of wood !
Hi Debbie, when I said 6 cord I did mean 6 full cord (3 face cord each) In an earlier video I did took bigger rounds, noodled them and then split them into boiler wood. I got 2 face cord out of 4’ tall x 13 feet. That is how I guessed 6 cord. It may be closer to 5 full cord when I’m finished. Thanks for watching.
Hi Chris! I got a cheap mic on Amazon that is wireless. It has noise cancellation also. I just wanted to prove it out first. Well, it works! The sound quality could be better, you just have to pay 3x what I paid. Since I got this mic, the viewers like when I talk and work. Win Win for me and the viewers. My email is at the end of my videos. Email me and I will send you the information on the mic. Thanks for watching! WST
Hi Garrett. I appreciate your comment. If previous videos I explain this splitter was my grandfathers and is 50 years old. I have upgraded a few things on it. Slowly working to get it much, much faster. The wood I was splitting is not common for me. I usually work with 18” to 40” rounds. That’s what I have a lot of. A kinetic splitter would do me no good. I’ll work on this one and finish my other splitter build. I don’t sell wood, so I’m not in a hurry per say. Keeping the operation at ZERO debt. Thanks for watching. WST
I use to be a free country do what you want guy. But with a lil age and a young family I don’t appreciate knowing what others are doing on their property from my property. I’m so glad my saw is quiet and my red boned coonhound sleeps all day and never barks at any moving objects. Lol. I feel so selfish and hypocritical!
The Stan!! That was eloquent and forthright. Your words struck my yellow lab like worms in July. I chose to do what I did and it had less bearing than the words I spoke. Decider as you will. Practicing for my second career as a greeting card writer. You still have a way with words like few else. Thanks for watching my friend!
Question for you, What mic were you using while splitting that wood? I'm looking to get some type of mic so my videos have little better sound. Also, nice looking wood piles!
Hi Timber Visions! Here is the mic I am using. They make it for Samsung or Apple. I use Samsung. Here is the link for Amazon. www.amazon.com/Amposei-Microphone-Auto-syncs-Recording-Interview/dp/B09GBBLWJ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=1FTJTXQTQBN09&keywords=wireless+microphone+samsung&qid=1637546844&qsid=141-6260762-8735862&sprefix=wireless+microphones+sam%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-4&sres=B0833QVQ3H%2CB09GBBLWJ6%2CB09GXJWV64%2CB0952VTR1S%2CB08L52SM66%2CB093RSV73R%2CB01N51KFHK%2CB001R747SG%2CB08LHBJXYV%2CB00TOKTBL6%2CB09HNVXXPH%2CB09JNLWYSN%2CB09FLD85PX%2CB089QLX5KX&srpt=MICROPHONE
It’s a hay rack. I changed it for the common man. Didn’t want to get spoofed on the word, rack. Now I’m answering questions about the wagon. I quit! 🤣🤣 Thanks for keeping me honest as always my friend.
Vids are always great to watch Mike. I got a pretty bad Rt. Shoulder problem as of now , so I’m off for a little. .. and Rod at Firewood Midwest is an awesome guy 👍. Catch ya on the next one .
Hey Cherry 🍒 Man!!! Sorry to hear about the wing. Hopefully it is not too serious. Do you need me to pump out a video everyday to entertain you?? Let me know 🤣 Glad you always enjoy the vids. That feels good from a creator side as you know. Take care and get well soon my friend! WST
Hi Larry! I agree! That would be a great idea. I hunt 16 feet up in a stand. Wouldn’t help too much there 🤣 Thanks for the tip though. Thanks for watching and take care my friend! WST
Hey Evan! I appreciate you thinking that it wasn’t selfish. I didn’t think so, but I felt I had to tip toe around the vegans! 🤣 I would have a fireworks display if I could…. but that would be a little over the top 🤣 Thanks for watching and take care! WST
Hello Grandpa’s Fire-Place! Hope all is well. I’m not even sure where you live, but I hope the weather is good for you. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. WST
