Josh, use your safety gear!
All of the gear you have for your chainsaw is really cool!
So is your seatbelt in your truck! You gotta use it too! It's just as important!
Hahaha!

Like this channel. I am 76 years old and still cutting. I have 3 chainsaws. I used my Sthil 500 i to cut up about 8 cords of wood this fall. I don't need to go to an exercise class.

I love the way you run your farmstead. Reminds me of the way my grandfather used to operate his farm when I was a kid. Really makes me miss it.

As a NC guy transplanted to the PNW I understand the theory behind your hardwood vs pine firewood statement but having lived out here for 15’ish yrs now I will say, if you’re burning well seasoned pine there’s really no problem with it. Saw a lot more chimney fires back east. Though you do get more BTUs with the hardwood

Makes me want to go snowmobiling. I can smell the 2 cycle! 😁 Unique exposure to log milling! Thanks!

I'm a true believer in that fuel treatment it's the best. I have ran it in 35 below temps and not gelled

[petermavus]

In advance of tomorrow thanks for your service Josh… good luck with this venture.

Stoney ridge is back in my feed, probably ain’t seen one of these in a several years. I hit the like button that should put you back into my loop again.
Can’t wait I see the progress in the farm. Last I remember you were scrapping ditches along the driveway…. Yeah it’s been a while.

The soil is the driest time of the year so the trees are the driest. Sap is low and the wood is the least moist. Good time for milling the logs into dimensional lumber. Good video on the up-comming project.

Josh, I would love for you to do a video on greasing the woods brush hog and how to get grease into all the pto zerks. Those pto covers have me perplexed.

[alletechniek]

Watching you pulling and pulling that cord on your Stihl... brings back memories. I really recommend an Echo, starts at 1 light pull.

[ClickinChicken]

that's true about pine, but it burns too fast as well, better for fire starting. Sorry about the Go Pro. that sucks guy. I respect your safety features. You're running your farm like a commercial deal! I've never put gas in my TDI Jetta, or locked myself out of house... But I did lock myself out, on a car repair (didn't take house keys off LOL) Have a great Sunday. Wooo!

It looks like that field could be bigger then it is.

Josh, take a second bar and chain. If one gets pinched just take the saw off the bar and switch them. Lots easier, cheaper, lighter. The other thing is keep some plastic or wooden wedges and something to drive them. Also, a better way to prevent pinching. Do you carry two guns or reloads?😅😅

[peterljubicich]

Power Service products are awesome. I’m in Alaska had no fuel issues even when parked outside at -50. We burn lots of Spruce softwood and had no creosote issue (keeping fire quite hot)

[Self.reliant]

Hay also I have a suggestion not that your doing it wrong just that I hate splitting that odd trunk piece when making firewood. Instead of making your angle cut from top going down to cut your wedge try going on the bottom and cut it from bottom u to cut your wedge. That way the wierd part stays on the stum and you get all the usable wood. Or not it's up to you. Love the videos and completely agree on ppe while cutting

[lyndonhamby]

Cummins endorsed that treatment for a reason. I’ve used it for years 👍🏻🇺🇸

[chrissheathewoodguy]

you can send it to gopro and they can fix the screen. been there done that.

[connieguillot]

Very interesting !! Allot of work but going to b beautiful !! 👍🏼👊🏻

Josh I have been using Diesel Power Service products for going on 3 years now and never had any gelling issues in my 1997 7.3L Powerstroke. Also I have been told by old timers to add about 16 oz of high Zinc motor oil or lubricant to a tank of diesel to counter act the wear caused by ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
