I have been managing my forest lands and producing forest products ever since back in the before time, in the long long ago. A couple years ago I bought a Woodmizer LT15 Sawmill. I use it to utilize the timber I take off my forest land. This mostly comes from dead and dying trees and from thinning out the forests. I also produce a little firewood. I use a tractor with a Farmi 501 winch and log forks that is a key piece of equipment. Also a Ford 250 and multiple trailers. I have what I think is in some ways a unique way of harvesting wood products and managing forests.

Hes right. Better to break your thumb than your teeth. Im Canadian and been doing this over 50 years
I use my worn out chaps for gardening when I'm on my hands and knees. It gives enough padding that the knees don't hurt.
💯
Almost has an existential crisis 2/3 through.
If the super close cut of the weed whacked works best for the poison oak I would probably just do that in the areas with poison oak and simply now with a mower the older areas that you have eliminated the poison oak from. That's a lot of work!
I've found that poison oak roots are shallow so the plant can be easily uprooted--as long as you're not terribly allergic to it and you're wearing gloves and long sleeves.
At 5:47 Springboard not Buckboard.
Something I learned over 12 years of doing this is that it's easier to make the angled cut first. Because it's easier to line your flat cut up with it than vice versa. At least it is for me.
He absolutely HUMILIATED those boards by DESTROYING all their warps!
Good channel subscribed.
There is pro's and cons for using both
Thank you for bringing this important advice to everyone's attention. Of course, there are still those who will argue that the sun spins around the earth, but you can't convince them no matter how hard you try.
When cutting on a hillside stand on the up hill side.
What inappropriate comments? Excellent explanation, never done it because it always looked dangerous, Maybe not so much done correctly.
Lumber yards do that and then stack them up and put bands around them.... My brother build a fence with 4 by 4 and when they dried out they twisted a quarter turn....
You should have an apprentice. This skill needs to be passed on and some youngster needs a chance. btw, how many calories of food do you need in a day? I wish that I had a proper job too.
Is this a follow up on how to buck dirty logs
F*ck loggers!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was bite to death by flying teeth in Luisiana. But i survived only to die 3 days before
Silence is a blessing 👂🏻
I can wait for first hand experience....or learn directly from second hand experience. You just don't argue with sound advice.
meanwhile, commercial mills are selling boards with as few as one corner.
nice touch putting those logs into the trailer.
Stupid bear 😂😂but very cute
I just run my fire in the open, when it gets a good bed of coals, i stick the hose on it and put the fire out. Then the next day I rake it out, let it sun dry. Once dry enough, i sieve it, then store it in onion bags to allow it to totally dry out.
Yea, my mind wanders when doing routine tasks too. Nice logs though.
as a landscaper, thats not mowing, thats scalping. do what must be done.🍻
Wonderfully informative. Thanks.
Anything less than a full hold on the saw is asking for trouble .
Hell naw I'd be the skinniest bear in the woods if that's all i had to eat .
Flail mower.
Thanks to the inventor of the gas-powered string trimmer... Only digging by hand before...
I had 10 acres infested with poison oak that was fenced for cattle, but I needed it for sow (mother pigs) pasture so I put insulators on one of the wires so I could electrify it. When I turned the sows in the field they discovered that poison oak and thought it was dessert. They ate the easy stuff first, then what they could get at up the trees, and lastly rooted up the roots. When they were done there was none left with very little effort on my part.
Who wouldn’t want goats? Goats are awesome!

How do you kill it with out killing everything else
In the old days kiln drying was just air drying with sticks in between the wood. I have a book somewhere showing bunks of wood drying in this manner and calling it kiln drying. Whatever. I know from my friends milling that we air dried the same and then stacked and stored without air space. Over time he milled enough and dried enough for his friends smallish barn. He still hasn't built it. The top layer has twisted a bit but the rest are perfect. Always store flat and weight on top and they are ready to use.
Your rational attitude is a breath of fresh air. Lately I've been unsubscribing to UA-cam channels that indulge in toxic politics, both liberal and conservative. I'm switching my attention to fellow rational Americans who sweat and do real actual work both physical and mental and know that the world works a bit differently than extremist politicians would have us believe.
I used to do alot of tree work including some climbing. I have some bigger gas saws, but I don't drag them out unless I have to. If I work with a gas saw for any time at all, I smell myself off gassing fumes for the entire next day. I just don't think that is good for us and I think of the damage I did to myself running a gas saw day after day. Electric saws are in their infancy. They will only get better. The fire hazard concern is a real thing. I keep bees and some of my sites I have to drive over tall dry grass. I am paranoid that my gas truck will start a fire. I am planning to eventually get an electric truck and this will be one of the benefits. That and the gas savings when I drive 100 km a day. We do have an ev and solar panels and it saves us lots on fuel as our commute into town is 30 km one way. We do not drive the gas cars unless we have to.
I always thought you should straighten out before making the plunge - not wait until after you're already in. Especially when coming in from the bottom side. 😉

Get your logs kiln dried before cutting the them
There are claims, that some keeping in water wash out chertain sticky substance. After that woodware remains less warpy.
As a Marine I really appreciate that you left no survivors while wacking those evil poison oaks off.
Great subject matter & very entertaining per usual! I vote for more of the content you mentioned; forestry improvement, management for woldlife, etc. Great channel, love your videos!
I wonder what would happen if you covered them in wood glue (PVA) whilst they were wet. I wonder if the glue all through the fibres from the wetting out of it in water would be enough to pull against the tension in the wood as it dries. Then flip and repeat. I have some warped plywood but I don’t think that would quite work the same 😄
