Always a pleasure watching you work Gordy, this is my only Hemlock story. A big blow came thru here some 20 years ago and snapped a Hemlock like a toothpick 25 feet up where it then sat for a couple of years. Here I come with my Makula and 20" bar, it leaned the way I wanted to fall it yet the foliage was all on the other side. Long story short when finished cutting I heard a thump, it was perfectly balanced so I thought I could pull it down with the truck. As I'm sinching the rope up it starts teetering so I pulled harder and slipped down flat on the ground one last pull and here it comes. With a thud it left a 6" divot where I was laying, talk about doing the dyeing cockroach trying to get out of the way. About 3' at the base I would have been flatter than a mashed cat. I know allot more about trees and saws now for sure. Every tree is different and read differently depending where you want it to go. Johnny Cash made a song called The Lumberjack, take care.

What's not cool with you Gordy, is the question. That stove, trucks and saws are all top. I guess I appreciate those things, cause those are the things I'm into. Plus the elk hunting NICE!

I've been felling a lot of punky dead pine recently in the woods near footpaths. Nothing as big as your Hemlocks but still scary as there's no telling where it's going to fall when those hinge fibres fail. Nice one, stay safe.

Oh no, crusties scare the bajeebers out of me, seen to much, but still can't help the love of felling trees! You gotta love the olE brush torches, handy for more than just burning brush 😂 Oh heck yeah, reminds me of my olE 76 blazer with 40's and running the mud pits and trails. The man who taught me felling, always had an 8lb sledge with him to test the sketchy ones. Thanks for sharing all your videos Sir!

Brotha! Fill a 5 gallon bucket with wood chipper chips and throw half a gallon of diesel or kerosene, maybe so used motor oil then put a twist open top on it. Put a few pieces of wood in, throw a coffee cup of chips on top, then a few more. Touch it off and you’re good to go. No need to burn up propane! Works like a charm.

@ToddAdams123410 ай бұрын
Gordy, did you realize that your stove pieces of wood were short enough to lay them in 90* to how you were putting them? It’s just something that I’ve started doing AND It’s easier to put an “all nighter” round in at the end so that I have plenty of coals leftover for getting the fire going the next day, or in your case for when you get back to the shop. I know that at first glance/thought that they would roll out when you open the stove door, but when most stoves are made they have a fairly generous “lip” up front which in my case prevents a “rollout”. Just food for thought because it works VERY WELL.
