@@shannonpatrick77BUCK in any conversation could never be termed garbage. Just my thought. Spyderco (honestly have always found them alluring - but not a single one for myself, though my mother in law had one duty carry with JEFFCO MO back in the day) Awesome knives. Boker/Hogue auto (one of two EDC), KA-BAR (seven of those, 5101 horizontal draw 2 of 2 EDC), S&W two fixed, two fold, CRT (neck x1 and two fixed), BUCK a Ton of. Every blade with a purpose as I’m sure you choose Yours. Great Comment. Cheers. (Edit: just got back from the porch - just got my White River US K&T 835VN, she and KA-BAR 5101 will be swapping out frequently.)
Looking forward to seeing you all at Paul Bunion, 2023. Looking like we will be there on Friday. I will not be able to make it on Friday. Have fun and make Mom and Dad proud.
I love watching you and Jade. I'm a 51 year old woman that does tree service and helps at our mill sometimes. It's awesome to see other ladies doing this kind of work 🤗💜
At the beginning of the video you are stacking firewood bundles back in the door and the finished bundles are just sitting on the floor. It would seem to me that when you are done making the firewood bundle, it should go directly on a pallet so that you don't have to handle it again. Glad you seem to be selling a lot of these firewood bundles!
Emerald, you and Jade are a "bundle of fun" and incredibly industrious. Who is going to fix that ball? Does it need to be welded or replaced altogether? Thanks for the talent show! Ur Miss PA in my book and Jade first runner-up. Thank you for meeting the needs of wood-cooking chefs. Ramble on!
Hi, that is some pretty wood yall bundle. And yes, be picky about your work and product. Your customers will love it. Take the front end loader and stuff it in the door. lol Great magic trick with the hoodie. Thanks for the fun video.
Thanks for taking us along on your work adventures, they are so refreshing in today's world. Your family has raised two of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, add hard work, blisters and a beautiful place to live puts you over the top in my book.
Reminds me of working for my grandfather. I shoveled dirt into a wheelbarrow and wheeled it back and forth. When I started to complain, he said that wheeling was a break from shoveling and shoveling was a break from wheeling. I was practically loafing all day. Stay busy.
Nice maneuvering the scoop. Luv the yard dog always helping. Was thinking how difficult it would be to chain a trailer to a back hole & rally up loggs to the yard. My brother's goose neck hitch broke out the socket one time so we wrapped chain around trailer & frame of truck to get our load hauled. We used to haul hot shot. 6 car hauler with a 3500 international. We used 3 chains got us 60 miles. Not sure if the same for logs
One trick I learned was when dumping your trailer instead of just driving off, back up first, then pull forward. If you do that a couple times your pile is higher and not as spread out. Then again, I don't have a loader to pile it with. Keep up the good work ladies.
Wow em you are 1 athletic lady the way you stood in door way and you and jade have that rare ability to work and live in harmony keep up the great work and vids please 😊
3:59 🤣 ya’ll are making my day with story and pose. . . Hope that was quick and no ‘takes’ that had to have been a bit uncomfortable, back to the watch. . . Though ‘ve rewatch this pose 8 or 12ish times. . .
Lol when I saw the name of your channel I thought you were based in the northwest cause that's what I think of lumber capital then I fell in love with the channel
Watching you "stretch and expand" that mesh, was surprising how much time it took. (I worked in the "design" industry for most of my life) Might you not rig up a "cone" or a planer cone, like a triangle or a trapezoid, where you could pull the mesh to expand it? Of course the best would be where it was pulled directly to the size to slip right over the tube, and while that would certainly be possible, it would quite possible be more complex than is worth while, but, do you see my point? If you could just have a sleeve that you pulled over the cone to then go directly over the teal green sleeve you use, it would be simpler perhaps?
Paused at 2:03. 😂. Gonna restart now having realized the ‘pose’ was gonna be a thing here. 😂🎉 looking forward to the rest that may be, also the story coming of the sooth that bundling may be. Trailer hitch - bad juju. Good catch. On to the watch. . .
Sure footed dexterity and plenty of energy left over! I've never seen fire wood nearly perfect. It's almost milled instead of split. Your logs must be mostly straight. I deal with knots and curves that make imperfect firewood but never the less it still burns. Great job! Glad you had a break from routine, makes the mind better.
No comment on the little splitter that was there. However I would guess that you are using the Eastonmade Axis, tossing the wood in the conveyor to load the trailer.
👍💪👌😁Very good one. Funny ideas and cuts. Of course that the technical and wood informative videos are very interesting to look at, this ones must have a place too. I like this one very much. Thank you (bundle buddies 😊) Em and Jade. ❤❤
Jade should be the videographer not videographer assistant. She holds a very important place in your production. Don’t you think she deserves that honor?
I just found out that y'all arn't too far from where my mom was born and raised. I still have very distant relatives up there. Mostly 3rd and 4th cousins.
The videos the two of you are posting are getting more and more creative 👏lots of info, some gymnastics, and a little humour. I see that Jade has been demoted from "Videorgrapher " to "Assistant Videographer " , what happened, she wasn't doing a good enough job ? 🤣
It sure makes it a whole lot easier when you have equipment to help. I always did everything by hand. I had a chainsaw and a John Deere Gator. I split with a monster maul. All of a sudden, I was sold and retired. I need equipment now but can't afford it on retirement. I wish I had bought when I was still working. I used to cut wood every day. Now I just cut when I need to. I miss it.
What is your exact position? I may be able to come up with an idea for you. Idea's are cheap!! and they may or may not help. However the way I read between the lines is that you have property with trees on it and you cut firewood mostly for yourself but just did it all by hand: Like a friend of ours. At some point swinging the Maul just doesn't work for us old guys. However you have the JD Gator so a cheap log arch might help get the log out of the woods. We want it as long as you can pull. Then you make a platform for the log to be pulled up. A winch is best for this but the Gator may be able to do it.... experiment. The splitter is the problem part. Cheap splitters are all made wrong and the vary cheap ones don't have much power!! However as long as they work, they are easier to use than a maul !!! The idea is to not have to lift the log onto the splitter so you pull it up to the correct height on the platform you build and cut off the round and split it tossing the firewood in the Gator box or whatever works. There are RU-vid videos of something like that as well that may give you other low cost systems to work easier and still spend time outside creating firewood. Using smaller diameter logs helps with the low splitter power. Keep in mind that a Eastonmade ULTRA is $5,100 !! However I am guessing that you can't stretch up to that amount. Just using a random listing for used equipment I came up with a $750 and $250 splitter: both were junk but better than anything new at that price! Just a idea....
