Cutting some much needed firewood!

[@Gunslinger-1962-martin]

Hey David I'm with you on the bulging disc ,, I'm going through it now ,, I've been off work 8 months ,, climbing the walls to get out of bed ,, had one injection worked for a while awaiting another too put me right god bless ya fella 🇬🇧 from here across the pond 🍺

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Praying for your recovery my friend

[@JamesM-l5g]

That’s why I only cut square trees. Stacks so much better. I also run Mattel saws, they’re so much lighter.

[@simplelifewithrobertpusate294]

Praying your back heals up. I’ve seen God heal many times. 🙏

[@luddy2009]

From a guy who now has a herniated disc due to lifting heavy pieces of wood, I had to have surgery as well. The disc had calcified over before surgery could happen so the surgeon just made some extra space for my sciatic nerve. So, nothing to fix the disc. I have found that it helps to build some "steps" with the first couple of rounds you cut. Set them up like steps to the tailgate and then roll the big heavy rounds up the "steps." Saves my back a lot.

[@russhall4780]

Hey David, I did the same exact thing to my back. Seems like once you mess it up you don't ever get better. I ended up having the surgery. It was a piece of cake and well worth it. I know you don't want to go under the knife, I didn't either but having the surgery saved me. Best of luck with it, brother!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Hey Russ thanks my friend! I recently had injections in my back and it done wonders so I feel a lot better and now tried a new sleeping position that’s helped tons with my back and shoulders I actually sleep all the way threw the night and don’t wake up in as much pain as I did in the past… take care happy new year! We wish you good health and happiness

[@russhall4780]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie Thank you, sir! Happy New Year to you as well! Glad to hear the injections helped and your sleeping better. Stay well and be safe out there!

[@BrennanRaihl]

Good to see ya out cutting firewood and hopefully Brantley heals quickly

[@nanleekley9091]

David...bummer to see Brantley injured at football, impressed by his elk experience....nice to see how well you are protecting him as he heals..love seeing the mountain ridges

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thank you my friend we love and appreciate you

[@smorefirewood]

Old man winter won’t be late.

[@blaablaahi]

Sorry to see the boy with a broken wing. Hope he heals quick. Winter will be here in quick.

[@KayBeee]

Good call on the stacking in the truck 👍🏻

[@firewoodathome]

David, from experience, the back issues can haunt you for the rest of your life. Take care if the back.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yes sir

[@doublebitoutdooradventures]

Get better Brantley. At least he broke his arm after he got his elk. Tough kid will heal quickly and be ready to kick ass sooner than later. Avoid the steroid injection if you can. I’ve seen quite a few doctors the past 10 months and only one has said to try it. He said short term relief if any at all. Just my 2 cents brother

[@trent5ace]

Miss seeing the big trucks with a cord of wood at a time. But love the Yota too. I just got a new Echo 590 after I burned up my old Husq 350. Excited for a little bigger saw but nothing like your big hogs and bars. Got to start somewhere.

[@406highlanders]

That's a good looking load of wood, I need to get a couple more loads myself and I woke up to blowing and drifting snow this morning. Not ready for winter yet

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah I need to get some orders out of the way I havnt taken on manny this year just because I been working but kept my regular clients. I usually wait till I have to chain up to get my wood haha 😂

[@kirbykid63]

My wife and I got all my wood cut for this winter. Expecting lots of snow this winter up here in the white mountains of Arizona. Just got a sthil 392 with a 25 inch bar.

[@ralphreardon9884]

Hey, David ! Notice you using the head of the axe to roll the log. Do you have a "Cant Hook"(Peavy) or Log Roller to position the wood. If not, they are a life saver in wood cutting. Thanks for the videos - -hope the young man heals quickly !

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yes I use a peavy I have a log rite that some good friends of the channel sent it does save the back just forgot it today

[@rodneyyazzie3739]

Sorry, little man, best recovery on 6our arm bubby. Take of you back, bro. I hurt my back like that, I never learned, I was always pushing myself and thought that I was 🦸‍♂️, but I'm not. On my 3rd back surgery now, @41, just be careful on the back injections. Don't let the doctor hit inev, cause of that I've got drop foot for life, now. But with a good doctor who knows what he or she is doing, you'll be good, bro. The Inverter table works well also. And like you say to us, we wish the best health and happiness to you and your family and friends ❤️. Be safe bro

[@stuarthutson7319]

Hey David, from someone with two bulging discs in my lower back, get into some core exercises and do them every day. 20 mins a day and you will see a difference. I wish I had started much earlier.

[@johnsonr9]

Good video. How much firewood do you need for the winter? Wood in my area is a lot harder to split. Slightly jealous LOL

[@tedneitzel]

Bummer for the boy. I wasn't much older that him and i was chopping down a Alder with a ax and it barbachared and came diwn on my ankle and snapped it in half and Doc had to put a screw in to hold things together! Had to get it removed a year later! Nice looking wood as always my 5 cord are done!

[@ToddChapman-m8t]

Hope Brantley's arm is ok.

[@drewclarke5920]

greetings from north of the 49... lotsa wood cold winter l think...

[@brandonhoad9033]

Hey David. You're way too young for back problems. Got a pickaroon to use picking up the rounds? helps a lot. Dislocated my elbow when I was bout your little ones age. Happened over summer, was so excited to return to school w a cast. 😢😢 Got it off week b4 going back

[@cherylshannon-vp7uc]

two things, they make gloves and you should definitely use them and you should never use an axe to move the log like you tried. I really expected to see it go through your leg that one time that you missed. We can't pick up oak wood like that down here in the south, it has to be split. That wood looks like it almost too old to be burned to get the most BTU's out of it. Not really know too much about the wood from your area. Good video and sorry to see your son with a broken arm.

[@johnphillips770]

Know your pain,one crushed,and one bulged in my lower back,I no longer bend over to pick up wood now use a pickaroon,can't tell you how much it saves my back,might be worth giving it a try

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yes sir I am looking into it

[@stevestorm8363]

Have you ever considered chiropractic care for your back? I swear by it. I’m a 62 year old wood chuck

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yes I have I need to start looking for a good one in my area

[@wintuwarrior5266]

First, hello David

[@alaskacutthecord769]

Nice job. I really enjoy cutting firewood. I guess I'd better being in Alaska. Sorry bout your son. Keep him in football if you can, It's a really good experience for young men.

[@claymack1109]

Get yourself a bar of some sort to help role the logs....just an idea

[@DC-pf7bm]

Warum benutzt Ihr nie Anhänger das ist dich viel bequemer

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

I have to laugh at the beginning around a minute and 35 seconds you say it's going to be a short video your videos over 27 minutes long I don't consider that short

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

I thought it was gonna be a short video but I get to rambling lol 😂
