FINALLY @ our new LOG JOB 🎉🎉 … deep in the Adirondack Forest!! // Draft Horse Logging

[@clairestaffieri4398]

WHAT !!! Oh no a cliff hanger !!! Other than that this is a spectacular video !! Those horses are so incredibly beautiful and eager to please. I love watching them and you working with them, Jim. Brenda, I appreciate you noticing that it's important to keep the butt clean. Jim, picture perfect falling of the tree. Whole video is memorizing. Thanks (but not for the d*** cliff hanger, although I have already imagined how this all works out)

[@BacktoLifeMD]

I had the same reaction, lol. It's like an old 2 part Starsky and Hutch episode, lol.

[@clairestaffieri4398]

@@BacktoLifeMD Oh yes !! Well said.

[@franksmith6871]

It always amazes me that Jim can be talking to the camera (us) and in the middle of a sentence to us he can quietly give the horses a command and they are able to distinguish between conversation and commands! Ha ha ha! Brenda said a DAD JOKE! LOL!

[@gailgaddy5340]

I’ve thought the same Frank, maybe his tone of voice males a difference also but yeah, they respond immediately 😃

[@janeteckhart4886]

Good one, Brenda! Jim is usually so serious, it's nice to see him laugh.

[@timstanford9111]

Dear Jim I know that you know what your doing with Lady. But please please do be careful. She looks so fantastic carrying this little bit of weight I would also be destroyed if something happened to her or the others or you two. I live thru You and Brenda and Al Lumnah and his Gina. I’m sure others share my feelings for you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍TDP ( Tim,dad,papa)Love and Respect always in God we trust

[@marilynwitherell186]

What a cliffhanger, so looking forward to the next video. Thank you

[@donlucas2127]

_Good work. Jim. Of. Donnie. Lucas

[@davidmunro1469]

Thank you Him and Brenda. That mud is nasty Baloin tires would help. That tree fell perfect. When my Dad felled trees he was like a cow with a machinegun. HA HA HA.

[@malcolmthomas9953]

Man o man that's a big tree you cut down Jim , the horses 🐎 will need heaps off oats tonight for shore Jim , your keeping us in suspense there Jim getting that big tree out , thanks Brenda for doing the video 📹 👍

[@nonconformistfarmer3040]

Y'all are appreciated. Thank you.

[@jamescox8233]

hi jim and brenda. what a great, fantastic video, lady, and bill wanted to go, jim that is one big log. brenda, thanks for noticing the important of keeping the butt clean. i love being in the woods on a fall day with you both. looking for the cliff hanger on friday god bless Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada.

[@robertwellman3522]

I've watched every video you have, and the last two are my favorites. The interaction between the two of you is great. In fact I always though that You Jim, was too serious at times. Obviously not that serious because I love watching these videos. It must be difficult to expose yourself to the world and not wonder if you are well received. My guess is that the majority of us, who watch your content love what you do. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@marionberry6909]

Now Jim, that was almost mean. The suspense is killing me! LOL

[@todd1808]

You took the words out my mouth.....

[@kdb991]

I can watch them Belgians pull all day

[@FritsKooijmans]

Jim, you're becoming a better and better teacher. if you compare this video to a year ago, it gets better and better. Also as a team, with Brenda it looks more and more professional. The videos are becoming more and more instructive. Nice to see. I expect your life to look completely different than it did before the KZbin era. It is granted to you wholeheartedly.

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Great job bill and lady very interesting video jim good camera work brenda

[@territn8871]

Brenda, you cracked me up!!!! Even Jim had to laugh at the "butt cleaner!"😂😃🤣 Seriously, excellent job falling the big tree. Above all else, please stay safe Jim and safety for horses too. If there are any new subscribers today, this is a wonderful and educational video for them to see the knowledge you have in logging and how powerful Bill and Lady are to pull the load uphill and on muddy ground. Beautiful work, Jim. Whoa, now we have to wait til Friday to see if Bill and Lady makes it up the hill! I'm guessing they do. I'm glad you might pull off this job until the ground freezes! Can't have you or the horses getting injured. See you on the next one!😘

[@chrism1164]

The woods are very beautiful. Long trail! At the end of the video Lady was so antsy - she kept moving, and the cart kept rolling backwards toward the log - and Jim.. It was making me nervous. But Brenda was right there - and Jim has eyes on the back of his head - so I figured it would all be OK. And it was. But the horses really pulled when asked. They are amazing! Brenda's joke about "cleaning up the butt" cracked me up. For a second it looked like Jim was going to let it go - but then he cracked up too. You guys are so funny!

[@tinarobinson7509]

I swear that Lady has such a cute personality! ...at the end when she looked back at Jim. I'm just a mare girl, always have been.

[@dawnbeaird5183]

Hello Jim, Brenda, Lady and Bill. Brenda, Jim's reaction to the butt comment was priceless! I can't believe you're leaving us hanging on this pull, will be on pins and needles till the next video. Thank you.

[@kenj7222]

A good team is cash in the bank. Two is even better. Thanks for the journey you take us on.

[@raduvelea5984]

Ești un adevărat maestru. Felicitări din Romania. 👍

[@brendahogue5487]

Enjoy your videos and watching the horses working. Jim working at the college getting the logs out. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the horses

[@Elkadetodd]

Made a realization watching this. While hooking up the logs, you stay on the uphill side for safety, as you should. But then you needed to rerig the big one for the sling, on the downhill side. Which would be seriously dangerous alone, even with one chain already on. If you were using a skidsteer and the log shifted even a little and pinned you, you'd lie in the woods and hope someone comes to look for you. You can't reach the controls. But with the horses still hooked up, you could call to them to pull and they'd save you. The team gives you a nice safety margin.

[@jjwoodworth]

Jim and Brenda, I'm sure you have hear this many times, but Kudos to you for a great channel. I am researching the 1830 pioneers of NY and find your work very important to my research. Just how did our pioneer ancestors do it. Well you are answering a lot of questions and making it fascinating. Can you imagine the relationship between a farmer in 1830 and their horse or oxen. Their entire lively depended on a good team. I love both of your teaching styles. Goodspeed to you in all your endeavors, and may you make enough money on these videos to retire comfortably when you are ready.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, Jonathan!

[@LeeADKMOBILEMILLING]

wow 👌, What a great video. The two, (excuse me) the 4 of you, working so well together. As a logger, and mill owner myself, I learn a trick, or two each timeI watch. What can I say, but what everyone else has. Cliff hanging, can't what.🙏🙏🙏👍👍

[@HensOnly]

I'm at the edge of my seat with the cliffhanger! Such huge trees and prime logs! As always, great video!

[@biddydibdab9180]

I could watch these logging videos all day long. Really admire the strength and willingness of the team, Jim’s logging skills and Brenda’s skill with the camera. Great video.

[@healyfamily4]

I am in awe of how well the horses work with you. The logging videos are fascinating.

[@johnkomosa4089]

That's one big log to go up hill, I can appreciate all the chain setting and positioning. Putting a lifting pc. under the log is a great idea. Keeping your fingers in the right place as the horses "tap the load" is huge, a finger in the wrong place , will come right off! I have a friend that lost his index and middle finger as a choker cable came tight on a log, his hand between the cable and log as it pulled. Serious business. Good job Jim. Setting up your saddle hitch.

[@donaldgibson3121]

I enjoy looking at a professional do his work. I also appreciate safety first for all in the woods.

[@mfc4591]

WHAT.... now we have to wait to see the team do a big pull ! Great video

[@benzoverakers1877]

Eagerly waiting for the next video!!!! Blessings

[@misty4782]

"I'm sorry, he's going to clean up his...." LOL. Oh Brenda, that was a good one. It took me a second to get it and when I did...oh boy. 😂😂 I just didn't expect that from you, which made it all the funnier. Love it. God bless.

[@jeffjohnson5609]

Jim I am consistently impressed with how much work you get out of your teams with the least amount of effort. You always judge angles correctly, you don't tow a log into stumps etc. etc..

[@jeffjohnson5609]

@Betty Kleith always looking for new friends. How are you doing?

[@jeffjohnson5609]

@Betty Kleith I am in Georgia

[@mervjb809]

Brenda, you cracked me up (no pun intended) laughing at his cleaning up the butt statement. Those are beautiful trees and logs!

[@MikelJay]

Some rainy/snowy day you might demonstrate your chain sharpening/maintenance routine. Glad you don’t edit out the nitty gritty. There’s so much that goes into the process that wouldn’t otherwise be appreciated.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Yep I looked down at the play bar and knew I wasn't going to see that log pulled out now. ! UGH!! a cliff hanger as everyone else is sayig too!. Oh but I've watched you for the last couple years now and almost know what lady and Bill can do. But admittedly I can see a real difference in their back legs leaning into it here than on other lots. so the hills here are showing in their legs for sure. great job both you and Brenda. I've worked a few lots myself and those are some nice sized trees. thanks for sharing. ECF

[@valorimendrala1912]

Wow! Everybody is growing!

[@johnking8679]

WOW !! Lady is certainly anxious to get this log "outa there " !!

[@jipjojed]

Wow!

[@patriciawilhite7038]

Oh dang! I am positive that Lady and Bill will make that pull look easy. But I must say, I was as anxious as Lady was! Awesome video Jim and Brenda!

[@carollundquist9178]

Another beautiful video, educational too. ❤❤

[@dandubose878]

Great video,Jim and Brenda. Cliff hanger. LoL . I have a feeling that Bill and Lady will get the log up the hill. Can't wait to see them do it.

[@jjintheflesh]

Love this😆

[@rocroc]

Amazing job. I can only compare it to the few trees I've cut down in my life. Of course, that is really no comparison. One man tackling this job in the woods alone. One misstep and you're done. Gee:-)

[@UncaDave]

Jim if you pull out you know it is the right thing to do. Mud just fights your work and you and Bill and Lady could get hurt. Brenda too. We don’t want that. This is still a lesson for the young loggers to pick up. I follow a small family operation called Lumber Capital Log Yard in PA and even as conventional loggers with a skidder, etc., the Boss gets out of the woods when it’s wet. Looking forward to this continuing adventure. Way to go Brenda! Keeping that logging humor!!!

[@robbullis5025]

If my Granddad was still alive he would be your biggest fan. I know he would be talking about a trip to New York just to see you and your horses work in person. Thanks for your time and effort to share your work.

[@doncc6080]

Jim it seemed that a few times when you chaining the log the horses were going to pin to it. Brenda loved your joke. I bet you are quite the jokester off camera all the years you and Jim have been married. Keep the jokes coming!!!!

[@paultighe3735]

Enjoyed the video very much Jim &Brenda the horses are working very nice for you some nice logs there, can't wait until the next video

[@jimmclam]

Well done Jim! The college should have had a class there for a "field study" in horse logging operation. I'm sure that this video will be a class assignment for sure!

[@chrislittlefarm]

Very informative video, Jim! Guess the little twist to the left was because you didn't cut that protrusion in falling direction. Can't wait to see how it continues 🤗..but I'm pretty sure that Bill and Lady will make it! ☺ Have a wonderful day you two! -Chris

[@kevinknight470]

Good observation Chris, I'm guessing that Jim wanted to break the hinge and pop the log away from the stump.🙂

[@chrislittlefarm]

@@kevinknight470 That's true Kevin, as he also cuts up to a quite thin hinge (as far as I can judge from the video) Probably he was thinking ahead to how to get the cart as close to that log as possible, far enogh from the stump. Masterclass 👍

[@johnkomosa4089]

Hi Chris, I believe the twist you refer to is caused as the upper portion of the tree makes contact with the branches up above and twists the tree to the left as the tree finds its center as falling. Looking at the stump, the holding fibers were broke at the point of the twist and the tree free falling. Interesting observation though, the interference came from the upper canopy I believe. I like the way Jim, cuts his trunks , it's unique and looks and works well. Eastern Coast trees differant than West coast felling. The big hard woods act differant, but the physics still set in stone.. you got me look'n, ah ha.😄 Like that release of the back trigger strap, I have only used that a few times on extreme leaners. Thanks for getting me thinking.

[@johnkomosa4089]

Good case study, watching again I see what you mean, so! Much force on that protrusion. Good eye.. Cheers. Lots of force on that trunk as the big tree comes over, tremendous! And why Ash will barber chair as they say, as they dangerously, split up following the wood grain.

[@chrislittlefarm]

@@johnkomosa4089 I think that was by intend to get the log away from the stump to have more working space to hitch on to the cart. As Jim said, "everything went as planned". That way of cutting I use as well most of the time. They call it sth like "safety cutting tequnique" in my area (litterally translated) with that back strip cutting as final step. I only tend to have a broader hinge to avoid cutting the tree "dead" (as we say)

[@mikeob9502]

One word: impressive.

[@kevinbwillson4161]

Just a joy to see you all working so wonderfully Thanks again

Betty, last I checked this was still a horse channel!

@@paulhuffey2015 Good reply Paul! I ignored that comment by “Betty” and also alerted Jim and Brenda that she was trolling the channel. She sent that response to a bunch of people.

Love yall and the horses. You got me good with the way you ended the video.

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

Brenda, you are too funny! Sounds like something I would have said. This was a terrific video -- that is, beautiful, informative, funny, and even a cliffhanger at the end of this "chapter!" Daphne du Maurier, move over. (She was one of my favorite mystery writers.)

[@davidkimmel4216]

You two are special. Such a pleasure to watch you folks and your horses. Thank You for sharing your family videos with us. 😊😊😊

[@barbrichards6229]

Such suspense. Now we have to wait.

[@jeanries434]

Great job as usual; I love the woods videos a little more than the farming, but both, I thoroughly enjoy. It occurred to me watching Jim with the big log, how much faith and trust you put in those beautiful horses and how they respond. They were anticipating when you were going to need them to pull and did not want to miss the call. The grit of the horses reminded me of Abby and her cement project, that girl has grit too, and it will take her far. That is testimony to how we should be with God. God bless.
