Family Logging Crew Logs Big Tennessee Timber

[@patriciabodie4200]

I am an 83 year old lady who likes watching logging videos. I found you this morning and enjoyed your video, I am subscribing to to and put you on the notification to let me know when you are showing another video! Today was great and I am looking forward to seeing you again 🚜🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@BackwoodsTN]

@@patriciabodie4200 awesome I’m glad to hear that! I have a bunch of videos I bet you will like ok my channel! Thanks for subscribing

[@stephanieperkins3048]

You will enjoy this wonderful family

[@normanblanchard-n6s]

tnx for the come back. If you get a chance watch some videos of west coast timber fallers. Then ask yourself what are they wearing that you're not? Like hard hats caulk boots gloves loggers pants with the cuffs cut off and always use wedges. and top running saws. Something to really think about

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks for the concern

[@thatguyfishingben4794]

West coast and east coast is a little different. All your West coast guys wear the stuff. Your east coast logger guys might wear a helmet. Chaps if he's a fancy dude. Most are just trying to scrape a living. Specially in TN. The equipments old and forced ro slave on cause no one has money for new stuff. If I had to pay people to help me log I'd make no money. Luckily I get it done all by myself.

[@Whipple1]

Just found your video this morning. Subscribing. I’ve been a one man band cutting trees and skidding for the last ten days in PA with the same hot humid temperatures you’ve had. It’s been brutal. Had a sugar maple barber chair on me a few days ago but I was ready for it. Still scary when you’re working by yourself. The log yard is full and I’ve taken the weekend off. Got a small amount of rain yesterday and it cooled it from the mid nineties down to the low eighties. Got those hit it hard to get this job done next week. Be safe. Get logs! Whipple

Great video guys!!! Those were some good poplars. If y’all ever get to feeling run down from that heat try some Liquid IV. It’s not the cheapest thing in the world but man, it sure works good. Just mix a pack in a bottle of water. Maybe keep a few packs in the glove box on the truck just in case. Y’all have a great weekend!!!!

Thanks for the tip! Have a good weekend Goshen!

Ole Conner wasn't pulling your leg this time...Some of the best timber ya all been in for awhile! I thought your Dad was gonna fall over bacywards the one time just trying to get his neck back far enough to see the top of them long- legged Poplars!😂 All you can do in the heat is drink fluids and pace yourself. If I get in the AC it causes my muscles to Charlie horse...Be safe and enjoy these cooler temps this week!

I take and knock the center out of the thermostat and put it back in that way it slows the flow of water going thru the system and cools better if it's taken out water goes to fast in turn not cooling as well as restricted a little. Y'all need to choke the logs closer to the ends that way they won't be digging into the ground or up under the skidder i learned that the hard way breaking cables and choker chains and it keeps the logs cleaner i got handed the axe and told get the dirt off there so i want dull the chain bucking them to length but take plenty of water breaks and don't over do it in these hot days stay blessed when will y'all be doing the next live haven't been able to catch any in awhile well last was on the other channel

[@BackwoodsTN]

Your exactly right! I agree

[@cliff4695]

I'm 38, live in Northern Ohio, not far from the lake. Work in heavy equipment, mostly in the BP oil refinery. My dad taught me when it's hot, stay hot, when it's cold, stay cold. I eat my lunch in the work truck, no heat or AC, everyone else is in the work trailer. I can't recall the last time I had a cold, of any sort. The other guys here, are constantly getting sick. Changing temps multiple times a day, everyday, is just not good for the body. That your vitamins, eat some what healthy, get a good days of work in, and you will stay pretty healthy.
