What an awesome explanation. Love all the details and the nuances of how to do this. Thank you.

[johnwhittleton]

This was an awesome video. I've been wondering about this for yrs. Look forward to watching more.

This is for sure a foreign language for a new comer like me. All I know is that hard wood is the best for the fireplace or wood stove. I would not want to sell my wood because I would easily be cheated. Your video is awesome and very educational. Thank you for sharing it with us

Man, I appreciate you sharing this information. Been following a “saw miller” who made a video of a gold mine of black walnut he was bidding on. Toward the end of the video, he informed his “subs” that he wouldn’t discuss the deal (price) he made with the seller. Then went on to say he’d disclose that information to his Patreon folks. Irritating that someone making their living off YouTube saves the goody for the folks paying for better content. F**k that. Seems like the better stuff you put out, the more subscribers you’d get.

I saw the thumbnail and thought "I know that guy from somewhere." Then I saw the cedar and thought ok, he's obviously from around here, Oh yeah! Jason from MBMAM! As a 20+ year gypo logger and production sawyer I love the video, very well done. The scaling game is tricky and you explained it well.

Never underestimate what your own personal time is worth. A lot of folks do that. I was very guilty of it. A wise Princeton MBA set me straight.

[Mr_Damion_Scott]

thanks for making this video, im trying to learn as much as I can before jumping into the industry..

[countrywoodproducts]

You always give such good detail on everything you do. I like that. I did not know you worked in the forestry industry too. I have been following your mining channel with my prospecting channel. How on earth do you do it all? Right now firewood is taking up all my daylight hours just to keep up with demand.

Dude that is awesome, he knows how to load a truck for sure.
Western Red is my favorite, wish I had that stuff in my neck of the woods 🙏🧡🧡🧡👍
How do the log scalers decided on Scribner/ Doyle scale?
I use the Doyle scale here in Ut.
Thanks for sharing this 🪵
Supper glad I found your channel 👌

Workin that machine like a fk'n BOSS !!

[Gearedweird]

Thanks Jason.... I’m a fan of both your channels 👍

ive been doing timber for 42 years and we like to sell by weight and the ton its the most fairest way

[Flipping_Assets]

Where do I buy in bulk to process firewood?

[WilsonForestLands]

You are doing great only getting 6% deduction with that kind of rot. The scalers here in Southern Oregon with are not nearly that generous with Douglas fir. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

On this load there are six poles worth sawing. The rest should go to peeled poles or chips. Actual value of load was around 2700$. Don't believe everything that is shown unless you want to spend a half hour figuring out how to get two 2×4s out of a stick you gave 60$ for.

[ianchaudhry]

How much do you make in a month or a year??

[MizZzChAvVvOzZz]

How often do you get new bids from the mills?

[timothylee]

Hey Jason I enjoyed the video very informative I know nothing about logging but was wondering if you sold logs to firewood companies and if so can you give some ballpark prices for a truck load thanks in advance

[maplebones]

Is there a minimum on the small end ? That tree shaped like a question mark is a beauty.

My family recently sold 181 trees that according to the timber guy has 51, 000 board feet.
I have a very bitter distant VERY distant relative who is upset we didn't go through him. He claims we're being cheated even though I've never told him the price we're getting.
He says they are taking all our high value trees. Walnut, Red Oak, and I know they are taking Birch too. The timber guys we went through do their own milling.
Can anyone tell me how much on average 51, 000 board feet is worth? I don't know how many of each species they are taking.
Also I know for a fact that they aren't taking ALL of our walnut and oak tree. A neighbor we trust walked the woods with the Forester guy and for every walnut they marked they left at least 3. They said we will have more to harvest in 10yrs.
