In the lifting world the grip you are describing is referred to as the suicide grip. I feel like it would fit here too

I did the same thing with the Sage brush i had here on my property. Waited till july and August and cut them, and they just dried up and died.😉👍

THATS not a forest its a dried out grasslands

This technique only works if you’re with someone who tastes better. Take it from someone who tastes better.

Blacktail love forage in that oak shortbrush. Just saying.

3:10 it looks great but the corner is crap, it cannot evacuate the chips. lower your file to the middle of the gullet. plus, a sharp corner is a weak spot, it dulls faster. use the hexa chain sharpening style on a semi chisel chain. i do it with a diamond wheel, it makes a new chain looks dull. i have a ms170 with 20"bar, very agressive sharpening. useless to push on the saw, i don't need more power.

Are these invasive Pine Bark beetles?

I do similar but use a sharp hoe.

Stills were much more difficult to start than Husky’s

In Texas the mosquitoes carry switchblades

In the weightlifting world, that's The "thumbless grip" aka "suicide grip." You know, from people doing bench press with it.

Gotta use goats. Gotta have…mutton curry

Why would you want deer to eat poison oak? Sounds more like animal cruelty.

How about taking a garlic pill?

Just tell them to do a chain saw course!. Simple.

With all the heavy rains and humid temps here in Houston, TX. .. we don't have a SINGLE MOSQUITO. Wait for it... they are all MARRIED and have BIG FAMILIES. What about putting some MINT leaves or citronella sprigs in your pockets ? Swish, swosh & swat ya lil' boogers.

You own all that land? You must be a mega millionaire. And you don't just loll about on your sun deck drinking mint juleps, smoking cigars and discussing high finance with your pals? What's wrong with you?

Ya walk around swinging that stupid stick like a jackazz.

What is it in Fir that repels them?

Poison Oak is an important browse, meaning nutritional food source, for deer, and elk. So are Black Berry bushes and more. Your open understory tells the truth about how you feel about the animals who inhabit your forest land… or don’t. I get it that you have to take care of your bottom line, and that is wonderful, however, foresters typically ignore creating “habitat Islands” which feed the local creatures in lieu of planting ONE MORE TREE. There has to be a happy medium.

I need a solution for poison ivy, but not a trimmer since I would turn into a giant bubble and die. Also a trimmer wont deal with the bigger vines (i have had up to 6 inches here, but i think I killed that plant)

many folks are easily influenced and all humans can be easily deceived and the internet has amplified it ten times over. THANKS for posting this video.

I'll keep the goats. Mowing 20 acres with a weedeater is nuttier than squirrel poop. Just like all these people with 10 acres of yard they mow once a week just to look at. Doesn't make a lick of sense to me to use good pasture & hay ground for wasting time and fuel.

just a note that reversing the process doesn't make your electrical tape last longer, but it does make it easy to find the circumference of the roll.

I'm starting to itch

Always entertaining and informative

You don't need goats when you already have their relatives laying around the mill. I have same problem 5 under the trees by mine. Listen to people talk they are hard to hunt you have to be sneaky yet anytime of day I have several watching what I am doing

Does the old goat (wife) work?

I truly enjoy your videos. We have a problem with poison oak all around the flat where our home is located. I am going to follow your methods on eradicating that garbage. Our grandkids run all around the flat and usually one or both with get it. I have a friend that tried to burn it and he got it pretty bad from inhaling the smoke. Thank you for sharing your vast amount of knowledge.

Hogs instead of goats? Ventrac ( expensive ) for the turbo mode areas?

In areas where the poison oak is thinner, is it worth only trimming patches where the plants are? Especially if you’re not worried about defensible space and having patchy grass?

Birds Eye Ponderosa pine! Some call it leaf scar. It is considered a defect grading wise and won't be any better than a #3 common. All of the wood trim and some of my furniture is made from this beautiful lumber.

I use a brush saw with a three pronged cutter . Looks like a big throwing star . The thing is very thick steel and is not sharp , however it destroys woody brush , raspberry cane and tall grass like its nobody's business . It is a stihl product .

Holy cow you said a mouthful there, I'd say most of us see the market prices going up and down. Not a big deal. I get a job to do, I go get trees to mill for that particular job, I build it , I charge them accordingly to see them smile, we all say thank you and go on to the next one. It's really easy. From just hearing you complain about milling and prices, I'd suggest that you sell it and start drinking heavily if it bothers you so much. You sounded like my mom. Good luck !

Sawyer Permethrin clothing treatment. Is pretty badass if you can get it. Goes on your outer layer. It is not for sporting around or direct skin contact. It's for people that work in the shit.

one hell of a great point to bring to light thank you

I have a saw bladed wheel for my brush cutter, and it has the advantage that it won't throw the chain when it's cutting brushy stuff, but I'm not pleased with how it cuts in heavier stuff. I think it's the way the teeth are sharpened, but I haven't had time to customize the grind. in the interim, I've gone back to the classic wheel.

I got barred owl calls at my place, it beats the city noise.

Well explained, thank you! Also, I loved you in the Ballad of Buster Scruggs!

You should want….and then get goats.

the word is variable ! I keep getting nailed from the vines in the ground the leaves don’t bother me so much. Love your property

Thanks!

Swat- at something, with focus and determination with iinyent at striking Swish- maller sweeping gestures in your general vicinity but with purpose and with some confidence of effectiveness in each swing Swoosh- large sweeping motion, usually outside your general vicinity or swining for the trees ...and mussing

A swish goes up and a swoosh goes down. 😉

No no, i´ll stay with chemical. Watching you spreading sap, oily particles and fine vegetation particles everywhere, i start scratching. May be you´re not allergic to it. Thanks for the tric.

I wear a hard hat because it keeps my earmuffs and face shield from falling on the ground. I wear a face shield, because I don't need THAT much fiber in my diet.

Good advise

;-)) the ending

You may be the only youtuber I have encountered who can do the sponsorships talks without it getting annoying, keep it up.

Great advice 🤙I always try and keep my left arm as straight as possible with just a slight bend at the elbow and once the cut is started I don't look over the top of the bar but instead I'm off to the left slightly and the bar is more lined up with my right shoulder. It's easy to do a quick check to make sure cut is staying straight now and then. Run an MS361 for camping firewood and 4wheeling.
