Chris, this video is the reason why people watch your videos. It’s like hanging out with your best buddy and just enjoying the time talking about the things that we would only enjoy. Nice job bringing the new folks up to speed. You got to love what you do or else it’s not worth doing it. 🎉
watching "In the Woodyard" has become a habit ... also, a bit relaxing and often funny. I agree that its like hanging out with my buddies & having a beer. Plus, i learn something every once in a while too.
That was really a great video. Yes people think I am makeing money hand over fist and you are spot on with all the cost that goes into firewood I have sold just over 800 face cords or 267 full cords this year I had to buy all that wood from a logger plus fuel for my processor and tractor diesel has been 800 bucks to keep things running bar oil is 16 bucks a gallon this year last year 8.50 a gallon and taxes and many other expenses are in there just wait till you are running that M B 22 more hours the fuel bill for that . 15 years of doing firewood and just cant give it up retired after 44 years at my last job dont miss that but can't leave the firewood business. I am 64 and never would have thought you was 60 the way you work I gave you 50 but good for you that you are in good shape. stay safe and good cutting
I’m new to splitting my own and now realize how relaxing it is. It keeps me busy, helps with the waistline and keeps you young. Best of all I help keep family and my elder neighbor with wood to burn. I’m lucky to have two brother in laws that own tree services who supply me with mostly oak and pecan. Great show, thanks.
If you love what you do it's not really a job. Enjoying what you do is so important since time is the one thing you can never get back. Keep enjoying your life, Chris. Another great video!
I'm on the east coast an I burn in a fireplace Maple, Oak, and Cherry. I use oine in my outside pit. Enjoy all your video's so far, trying to my best to watch 6 to 8 a day.
I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now. First time seeing your other brother Eric I believe. Nice deer by the way. My wife says you're the cutest thong wearing lumberjack on you tube. 😆 she cracks me up sometimes. Have a great day.
answered my question about the farm. been a busy summer haven't been on RU-vid much. sweet deal. for what it's worth you should consider buying a 1 ton next. similar price to a 3/4 ton(any brand is fine they are all good). diesel is expensive now but milage barely goes up whilst towing a bush cord. plus, it comes in handy for floating a tractor, skid steer or excavator should the need arise. having a 3500 opened up a lot of opportunities I didn't have before. ps you are too nice to echo haha.
I’m new to you channel Chris , I admire your dedication but I’m 50 and I realized I’m not twenty anymore either, my wife is always telling me to slow down , I hope you do slow down a bit just to help yourself when your older. I love your honesty.
I love husqvarna! and i agree I like all trucks. Im a chevy guy who bought a diesel dodge Ram. and I would buy a Ford too. i just posted the trailer question on another video you had. This answered all my questions ! you are a true professional.
A photographer since 1982 how different things were then. The days of film, darkrooms and enlargers. I was into black and white back then, taking, processing and printing them off then colour processing for home use became available.I didnt like the sound of it. I liked my B and W. Still do. Went from DSLR to mirrorless last year. Still miss the days of seeing an image appear on the paper.
you reminded me of this: a photography tutor i know when asked about what's the best camera always says "the one you have in your hands when you want to take a photograph"
Great. Didn’t mean to be nosey but I understand completely my neighbor who has never worked asked me not to start my chainsaw at 10 in the morning the next morning I fired it up at 8. No more complaints. Thanks love the videos
@@InTheWoodyard well it’s out in the sticks so to speak. He needs to quit playing video games all night and find a job. I even offered him one helping me and he said I worked to hard
The neighbor guy used to do the same type of stuff. Luckily where we live because it’s a private farm we can do whatever. Guy complained and went into our woods. I went out there and dropped 5 trees right in his way and left them there..still laying there and he’s stayed out of my woods since then
I used to have a 2016 Toyota Tacoma and last year in April traded it for a 2021 Toyota Tundra! I started out with a homeowner Stihl MS211C with easy start! But a year later and several cords later bought a big boy MS462C…someday would be nice to pick up a 500i! Thanks for being a great inspiration Chris! Gotta say firewood is the greatest job ever!! (Unless it’s summer 😂)
Hahahaha! this was GREAT! It answered questions I have not come up with yet. Loved it, now I know why the move, and what is working for you ~ thx Chris. I've got an old GoPro, gonna come out from behind the scared curtain and make a video for my channel in early 23'....HAHA thx for your work effort!!! that is impressive - which I can aspire too as I am in the 4th quarter, the "Winter" of Life.
FANTASTIC Video. Thank you for answering the FAQ. You have great patients you have. But did you address the "Good night, Irene"? LOL. Most of us know why. Keep up the geat work.
Jim...I totally agree! I was also raised to never ask anybody about financial things. Yet on social media there never seems to be enough information. Some of the personal questions in comments I read on channels everyday always blows my mind...Have a great weekend!
It is a fine line between the show and my personal life for sure. My family is mostly off limits. I am not willing to prostitute them like most other channels.
Great conversation, Chris! What helps you earn RU-vid revenue? What does watch hours, subscriptions, letting commercials run, clicking on them, shares, comments, likes…do for you? I appreciate all the morning entertainment you’ve provided to me. Even my grandchildren climb on me to watch. One especially likes tractors and trailers. 😁 Cheers 🇨🇦
Nice job Chris. Lots of information for this early in the morning. Wonderful advice as to equipment (wireless mike is most needed equipment for other youtube channels). Now you have few secrets. Keep on having fun with your work, family and adventures. GNI
Perhaps my area in Maine is different, but we call a 1/3 cord a face cord as well. Watching your video each morning starts my day, so I need to get going! Thanks for sharing!!
Sure enjoyed the Q and A video. You are an excellent communicator. I enjoy your transparency, sincerity, and humor. Thanks for worthwhile and interesting viewing and for letting us tag along with you. Blessings
Seeing you use the Toyota was one of the first reasons I kept watching your videos. I have a set of heavy duty leaves in my 2000 Tundra. I bet they make sets for the newer ones. I think you'd enjoy them if they do. Love the videos thanks for sharing 👍
That was really fun, informative, and is really appreciated! It is so nice to have a little better understanding of something that has ended up being a regular part of my life, and about a "friend" I will never meet in person. Thanks for doing this video, Chris.
Although I generally watch this genre of you tube videos to see how others cut or build chainsaws, this was a great video! It gives a glimpse into the lifestyle and requirements of those who are into RU-vid, chainsaws and cutting. I was happy to see you explain the effort that you put into your lifestyle as it is not for the couch bound people. May life continue to be awesome for both you and your family.
Chris, loved this video!!! Nice change of pace (a man can only witness so many dumps) and a great idea to great all those viewers questions answered. Not liking the idea of you going every other day 😢 I need my wood yard fix every morning man! Btw, I agree with your assessment of the Tundra. On my fourth one and absolutely no problems.
A great Q & A, Chris. I look forward to your videos every day. Can't wait to see what you get done in the new woodyard with all your new 4 legged assistants. LOL I hope they don't get in your way.
I think these Q&A videos are great. A lot of material I was familiar with but you answered my "I wonder why" questions I have never posted. It's like you are "Carnac the Magnificent!" (Johnny Carson for the younger ones here). Thanks for the Q&A and updates.
I keep coming back to watch on a regular basis in part because of your balance. I am so glad that you haven't jumped on the big time influencer band wagon. It's nice to mention this product or that tool as you come across them, once in awhile. But thanks for leaving the constant barrage of merch, to the others. Keep up the good work And thanks for all the additional time and effort it takes to share your wood yard world.
Thanks ...but... I will be doing some products that have been offered to me. As the channel grows so must my time in making it and the cost, so... I will have to do some products. BUT I do intend on keeping the daily work a major part of the show.
Damn, I learned so much from this one video. You are an absolute beast!!! Masters degree. 80-100 hrs a week. Dealing with corporation and LLC. Edit videos and photographs. And dealing with heavy firewood. And, I thought my life is hard. Lol thank you for so much information. I don't make videos. But I do have a go pro 8 black. I'm gonna definitely try. Thanks for such inspiration!!!
That was great. So many questions answered. You are a busy man my friend. I'm from Ontario 🇨🇦 All I sell is hardwood here and its for heating we sell face cords and if they want 3 face cord then they are asking for a bush cord. I look forward to your videos every single morning.
Do what you feel you need to do. I believe you will like it a whole lot better on the farm making firewood. That way you don't have to worry about making somebody mad for making a mess but you clean up behind yourself. Keep the videos coming. Have a great day be safe.
Chris, thank you for doing these types of videos as well as all the videos you do. I have been around for a while, the Glacier is the same splitter I have, actually thinking back, that was how I found your channel. I was looking for videos on that splitter before I bought it. Lol. I was hooked from the first video and watched every single one of your videos. You are just that down to earth straight shooter kind of guy who connects with your audience. Keep up the great work Sir. Looking forward to seeing the new wood yard grow and see Bert, Keith, and the others on the videos as well. Awesome opportunity for the both of you, 2 different needs met with very hard working guys. Farming is a lot of hard work that honestly seems to go unnoticed as well by many, like firewood. 👍🏻👍🏻
Chris from the west side of the state to the east side of the state I take my hat off to you. You’re due diligence is amazing, I got old and broken down, so now I just pick at things with help I get things done. Keep on cutting
i have had different neighbors move in around me over the years and its amazing how many of them have tried and are still trying to get my farm shut down. it doesnt bother me much but its always a pain when zoning shows up {and we are good friends now} NOW i just tell neighbors who complain HEY you want to shut me down and my farm that has been in the family for over 100 years then well ummm STOP EATING!!! problem solved. that really makes them mad. my moms dad heated with jack pine cause thats all they had.
Is rare to love working like you do. Most people hate working because they are not doing what they love to do, in my opinion. Is easy to work a lot more and work longer hours when you love what you do for a living.
Chris you probably will be asked the same questions again today was very interesting I’m not a professional photographer but love taking photos of wildlife and scenery always a pleasure watching your videos ❤
Well, I am totally saturated, all questions answered, curiosity satisfied, world order settled and everything in its place. I think I can pass a test on the contents, present on the findings and accurately share the lessons. I also detect the slightest bit of apprehension associated with the second time you’ve mentioned that your wife mentioned the lack of wood making activity for next season, to date. I’m getting nervous too because I know that to stay ahead you have to plan ahead and your mental calendar says you are behind because of your past experience. May you have a butter smooth transition to making wood in the new yard and let that processor rip through some big honking triaxles of logs, but know that there will be new challenges that even sly old you haven’t anticipated that have to be overcome. Your fans are rooting for you from their comfortable armchairs, myself included. Reno
I knew you were smarter than you looked.. lol You make it look easy. I’m sure most people have no idea what it takes to run a business, you run three. I’ve got my hands full running 1 business. Respect Chris, absolute respect.
I'm with you on the Toyota thing. I have driven over a dozen different makes of cars and trucks; I would pick a Toyota over any of them every day of the week. 💪🪓🇦🇺👍
I love Toyotas but they are scared of the Epa and won't produce diesel trucks in the states unless u buy a Brand New tundra. My 24v Cummins with a 6 speed can tow 8 tons at 11 mpg. I only paid 10k for it with 130k miles. In California gas cost so much I couldn't afford to tow with a gasser at 5mpg.
Chris, great question and answer video! A lot of useful information comes from your videos day in and day out which is why your channel is so successful! Keep up the hard work and dedication. Glad to hear the success stories with the new woodyard and also with the processor. When 1 door shut another opened. The new door is much better than the one that closed! Good Night Irene! Well for me it is Good Morning Irene 😀
What is funny, is now i saw this video, i just asked a few questions that were on this video! You dhould have said that will be on an upcoming video soon! :-)
I love the daily videos but life is important so if u do every other day then so be it. You have a life too love to and someday there won't be anymore updates because you retire!! That will be a sad day but you have a life.
Hey Chris nice buck you shot !!!! We had people complain about there wood not burning right one was the chimney was plugged the other was the draft was broken .
Just think Chris years from now at your funeral or celebration of life your family will say , Do we have any pictures or video of Chris's life? Oh yeah here is 4000 videos from his everyday life. Sorry for that thought but when you go through it the memories will really help friends and family. Thanks for the great videos. I also say I love my work so it is not even work.
Hi Chris, excellent video! You answered all of the main questions that I would liked to have asked you! You do not need to improve your presentations; they are always ‘top notch.’ Yes, sometimes one gets the impression that you are under pressure (which is understandable) but this shapes the character of your channel! I watch a fair amount of RU-vid and you, and one other, are my ‘go to’ daily diet of watching! I also realise that it is very difficult to appease a bunch of mainly opinionated old men (and maybe some younger people too) but you make it ‘OUR’ channel! Well done Chris, hope you can keep it up for a few more years!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and an even better year in 2023! Cheers Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
Great job great video tells you what you're all about and if somebody just starts working today that you can easily know what you're gonna see and what's your back story
My suggestion now is...from this day forward. If any viewer, new or old ask any question covered in this video(and many others if they watch them) in the comment section. Do NOT answer the question and simply leave a link to this video. If they want the info...You can atleast get a view from them watching instead of wasting another moment typing a repeated response!👍 Have a great weekend and will see you again at 5:30 tomorrow morning! GNI
One word of advice, stick with Toyota. Yes, they are pricey but HEY ! Reliability is what you want. From where I'm from in Canada (East Coast), a face cord is 8'x4'x16''. A bush cord is 8'x4'x4'.
