Am I tougher than Jim Gordon?

[@judyhathcoat7853]

Why do I feel like I just watched the boys take their SATs?! Threading the needle, micro lefts, micro rights, backing up by millimeters. You guys are crazy good at what you do! 🎉🎉🎉

Tougher than me

[@tractordan933]

Thought I was hearing a duck quacking for a minute there. You are right about Jim Gordon, he is one tough guy as well as a great with his horses. He is also a great family man and successful farmer. I could go on and on but don't forget his wife Brenda who is behind the camera most of the time and usually several steps ahead of Jim. I love the seat on your cart.

You & Gordon are more resilient than you know. Temps will moderate, with couple more blasts, but, we’re pushing towards Spring.. ..AND we all know, He never gives us more than He thinks we can handle. :) We bid you what our Veteran neighbor leaves us saying: “Stay warm, but remain Frosty”.. 🎚️🇺🇸🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇸🎚️

With the first long log, I tried to pick the way you would take the boys through the trees. They worked well for you, John, in the snow and ice. Take care of yourselves out there

[@downthetraillogging]

Thank you

[@williamsmith5514]

I don't think competition toughness enters into logging , its the gentleness and patience you have with your workmates , that is best described as wisdom , wisdom is learnt , it is learnt over periods of time its not depending necessarily of youthfulness . No name ,you are doing a good job as you are not destroying the forest with your movement . We might get to meet you sometime in the second quarter of this year .!

Nice team of horses, As a total horse nut....I wish you would have introdtuced your horses by name and how old they are. Ater all....falling in love with Jim's horses is BIG PART of why I never miss a video he makes. How long have you had these horses ? and what are their breeds and personalities? But keep up the good work!!! I do like how you talk to your horses and how engaged you stay with them. They really seem to listen to you.

[@downthetraillogging]

I’ve had them for almost 5 years. They’re six years old just mutts, good horses though thanks

That is an outstanding Team they step over the tongue and stand and back up when needed to without pulling hard on the chain there for a min I thought Alvin the chip monk was driving Just kidding I really like the way they step off together and stay together I drove a-lot of horses that one was lazy your horses pull together great job

Only way that would work is for John, Jim and can't forget Zach Odom to all film what they are doing on one day. Then someone else would have to splice the footage into one video 😮

Ol' Jim Gordon is one tough logger, and a heck of a good horseman. I watch both your channels. Bill is too of the line logging horse. I just wish Jim would have took up with the American Brabant instead of those Sullfolk Punches. I got to be honest, Gus and Boom are my favorite horses on KZbin. You hold your own amongst all the teams John. Keep up the good work

Hello. I enjoyed your video very much, especially the part where Donald Duck helped you. I ordered the novel you recommended. Wrap up warm and eat plenty - that ought to keep you cozy. You and the boys deserve a good feed after all that hard work, cold or not.

You don’t know how we do it up north? I can’t imagine how you do it down south, 100 degrees and humid to boot! No thanks I will take a little snow any time. Mid 20’s, blue sky and no wind is a dream day up here in NY in January. I am not the biggest fan of snow but it sure beats freezing rain. By the way Gus and Boom are awesome. I have 1/2 Brabant my self, I have had Brabant since 1991! Your okay too!🤣😂

[@downthetraillogging]

😆 we do hit 115 sometimes with high humidity that is rough Gus and boom have been good to me. I’m very grateful for them.

Jim G? I don’t know who you are referring to, a boxer, football player or ?? I think the job you do takes an enormous amount of physical, mental & spiritual strength. Also kindness and humor. You continue to show these traits. So just be you. It’s 4 degrees here. Hush about the snow and cold hahaha!

I don’t know when you last saw Working Horses With Jim. I know he is older than you but I applaud him for being out in all kinds of weather. Just this week he was pulling logs out to a landing through snow that was halfway to his knees and temperatures were below freezing.

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

I don't know who you really are out of this the first time I've ever seen you but I'll say this you have a nice team of horses they look like haflingers

I feed 450 head of cattle with a team of haflingers in real cold country we get frost from August to June I enjoy it but my kids don’t seem to they have a hard time staying warm if it was windy country I don’t know if I would like it so much I like my horses they always start in the cold and don’t get stuck

Nice team. You could use cruppers, the horse can jam his tail and use his whole spine to take the weight, definitely gives the horse an advantage, saddle or harness. Comparison is unnecessary, you have a very long way to go by way of experience, stuff happens, but certainly have made a good start.
