If you back your trailer up to your other trailer you wouldnt have to waste time and energy of walking back and forth every time you pick up a piece of lumber. The little ineficiencies add up. Talking while you work slows you don too. Haha. Like your videos mate.

I as a teenager pulled 20" x 20ft pine out of the woods with a 1/2 ton 4x4 with standard tires and then loaded it onto an old wagon 3ft high with nothing but chain and 2 cedar post because I couldn't afford to fix the tractor. Trucks are great but if you can't find one that's affordable I'd freehand jungle mill the wood on site or wench it over to a band-saw mill.

👍👍👍

If you need strength and rot resistance, Ipe is unbeatable.

Our treated deck turned to cardboard

Land is one of the most valuable things you can own...beats $$ in the bank...cause of inflation...have you seen how home/land prices have risen in the past 20 years?? please keep as much of that land as possible

You can tel a real logger by how the chokers are rigged.

A container salesman told me to set the box on used railroad ties. (They are already treated and should be strong).

Those boards look great, I see them as truck bed boards... Black oak green smells like Pee to me

When I first started with big trees I laid one down Uphill , and when it broke loose the butt end flew upward about 4 feet and then started sliding downhill. When it popped up it ripped my pants and shirt and my saw went skyward and returned at my feet whilist I maintained a grip on it AND the trigger. Good thing I had super thick chaps on. The synthetic lining of the chaps stopped the saw dead in its tracks. Yep , Staying smart & alive is Very important !!!

What kind of wood is that on your trailer?

Like and algorithmic comment. I heard pro so I instantly knew not for me

Pressure treated lumber is far lower quality here than it was 10+ years ago. I have started using tamarack (larch) outdoors, where it will be in contact with soil or below grade. I buy it from a guy with a sawmill for 2/3 the cost of basic spruce dimensional lumber, and I expect it to outperform pressure treated by considerable margin.

I would have finished my back cut from the other side, not under the weight of the tree. For safety, and it's a lot easier to get the saw out if it sits to that side.

Nice popping sound when those fibres brake. Good video 😊

Very interesting and good advice loved the video

What I want to know is why did you set up two storage containers in the middle of the woods? Is this an area where hikers often go missing?

They probably use wood that fails the stress tests (all the dimple marks) as pressure treated.

Wish I had seen this video 50 years ago. At 74, still learning.

I know that for repairing my house we had to use pressure treated in some areas by code. But all the wood was delivered inside the conditioned space and then I ran a dehumidifier for 2 weeks. The weight of the wood was surprisingly light. So for the new house we've been cutting our own hardwood lumber.😊

You are so correct, Mr. Wison. When a big KZbin channel with a million followers who is basically a hobby farmer breaks down how much money they made with 100 chickens, I can't even watch the video. The farm is a hobby farm studio for their channel. Period. When the estimated income from your channel is $80k/month those 100 chickens ain't geese laying golden eggs.

Oxford is going to release a new dictionary with a special sub section for new words attributed to my favorite Youber Tuber Wilson Forrest Lands....

Good information 👍

yeah man let it rip :)

Never knew Enya’s song Orographic Flow was based on these concepts. Thank you!

Those logging blocks that release when the log gets to them are always fun to watch, and different than the ones we use for trail work. Moving big things is always fun. When doing it again you should make another video on it.

When your miles in the woods this guy knows what the f*** he's talking about I'd be listening could save you! 💯🔥

In the Southeastern US the primary structural lumber is #2 Southern Yellow Pine (SYP). This wood has been steadily declining in strength for about 25 years due to tree farming- old growth forests are being replaced with newer planted forests. OC, tree farming is now common, and the age and size of the harvested trees used for lumber has decreased, as has the strength of the wood. Engineers have replaced 2x12s with Glulams (glued laminated timber) in many applications due to the falling load bearing capacities of SYP. Another serious and unresolved problem is the performance of pressure treated wood- In 2002, the almost 100-year proven Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) pressure treating solution was "voluntarily phased out"', the EPA announced. CCA was mostly replaced with Micronized Copper Azole (MCA), which IMHO has been and is a failure. It's now common to see MCA treated #2 SYP rot within 5 years when used on exterior deck framing/decking, stair stringers, fence posts, fence pickets, etc. CCA treated wood rarely rotted- even after 20 years. Contractors have been cautioned to not use MCA Ground Contact rated treated SYP for ground contact posts in critical load bearing applications. (examples: 2-3-story exterior deck posts, wood foundation piers, pole barns posts, etc.). Reinforced Concrete foundation piers are now recommended, with 16" ground clearance for wood piers.

Is it called a Humboldt cut when the wedge is below the cut, so you get a log with a clean end? Why do some people prefer this and others the wedge being above?

You’re not doing it right! You lay the first row down! on the second row set the wood across from the first row.

Should I use corn cobs instead?

Nice fell. Enough said.

I'm interested in this "inter-species arbitrage" -- let us know how that goes! 😂😂

I don't own a battery chain saw but I absolutely love my battery tools from cut off saws to drills and recprocating saws. I have even run a battery operated power trowl for concrete. My only negative experience was storing batteries over the off season and a few of them not working in the spring. They need to be storage charged and not kept in feezing temps over the off season.

" It seemed like a good choice to be out in the weather since it is designed to resist decay." They build houses, docks and piers on them here on the island. You just have to calculate how many you need.

Never Argue With Stupid People. They Will Drag You Down To Their Level and Then Beat You With Experience. Unfortunately I have been in these types of arguments before when I realized the person was too stupid to save. I hate to leave a drowning man, but sometimes you have to in order to save yourself. 😜

Now that’s a sharp, smooth cutting chain

Is your pressure treated lumber also Douglas Fir, or is it discount box store lumber?

here in Tennessee. all our pressure treated lumber is southern yellow pine witch is very strong. however the way they grow trees so fast, the wood don't have the quallity's of say my own yellow pine is ten times better. the other problem is the EPA. the ruined the formula it's not rot resistent like it used to be

Nice video.

90° Obviously

If you throw a chain, you most likely need to tighten the chain anyway, so this method is probably not the best choice. Besides, the time saved is negligible.

Nice video.

So your saying those California fires is gonna raise the price of wood in the usa😭😭😭😭

Don't isolate them as pot growers. They're just neighbors. Bad neighbors or good neighbors. Don't polarize and label

It’s classed as a mobile Mill, so saying fix to a foundation is defeating its design/proposed use

I bet you would be a great friend...

Genius video

I did a Google search on hem fir not too long ago. As near as I understand, hem fir isn't a species but instead it's a grade of lumber. this could be why it's not as strong.
