You gotta let those trolls slide off your back and focus on why all of us are watching you. I come here for the content, screw them people. They will never stop messing with you, just do you brother.

[@mojmarin9747]

Yeap

[@MountainMannOffGrid]

Agree. Great channel, don’t let the idiots and arm chair quarterbacks in mommas basement control your mind. They suck. Keep on keeping on man.

[@saulestrada9389]

David you have great followers, we are here because we enjoy the outdoors thru your video.

[@apa7611]

Nice sunny cold work day. Good stuff

[@omrjordan4847]

Glad to see you wearing the chaps in slippery conditions. Peace and health to you.

[@GMguy-wv4qc]

Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have really been enjoying the content. Interesting to see how other people do things, the equipment used and I’ve enjoyed just watching you use the different trucks to haul the wood out. Used to cut a lot of wood in the Florida swamps and what a contrast from Florida to Washington! Keep your haters and armchair quarterbacks at arms length, looks like you have your own way that works for you and you’re providing for your family so nothing else really matters. Take care!

[@chuckb8324]

David,.. you hit another “home run”! I enjoy watching your videos while I’m warming up from feeding cows. Keep it up brother,.. and yes,… shed the trollers!

[@annettepalmgren4018]

Another enjoyable program. I always look forward to them. Keep showing the beautiful trips to the woods and just ignore the occasional dead skunk on the road. Don’t focus on the skunks just remember 99% of your viewers enjoy your program.

[@trplpwr1038]

Thanks for these videos, I'm too old and banged up now. Always enjoyed a day out cutting. Straight grain sure splits nice!

[@kimmower6196]

I still split all my wood by hand yet but I have been eyeing your splitting a size 25 I believe thanks again be safe

Hey man what a cool truck , I used to have a 78 250, and we had 2 fireplaces in Ohio at the time , I could and would drive thst truck through the swamp in dead of winter because it was frozen , and colkect dead fall firewood , my gas bill was like $+13 a month I'm the winter , so the hell w the trolls , I can relate to what you are doing , in a cool ass truck to boot , take care , keep on keeping on .

You need a front bumper spare tire carrier. Best part is if you ever have a head on , you'll be OK. Plus if you get a flat it's up and easy access! They don't block air to motor. A win win.

[@danielbenedict9236]

Another good video David! Sorry I am behind in viewing the content. It looked to me around the 17:00 mark that the outer dog on the 441 was loose and rattling. You might want to check that and tighten if necessary. Hope you and your family are doing well!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Wacking Axe! Old school! Take care and stay safe my friend 🪵🚜👍🏼🇺🇸

[@kellyhamel4302]

Watching you find all these easy ones makes me jealous still,lol. I am known for doing the hard ones, pull em up the hill wrestle em all around. I need to get a new bar thinking hard about the light weight one, I run 28" on most of my saws anything longer i just drag the tip in the dirt all the dang time, course I am a short guy. I used to drive my Grandpa's 79 Chevy, pump her 3 times and crank here and she fired everytime. Love Westcoast dogs, and Gordy rocks! I can bump into that fatty fir bark and just let the saw dig. My buddy and I had to rescue his wife from the side of the mountain the whole road was a sheet of ice, scared him and I and her pretty bad so now I am kinda jumpy about going to look for wood in the mountains. So going to go cut off a log deck next few days I think. Thank again for the videos David they help me a lot during the Holiday season, I kinda get down in the dumps around the last part of the year and you guys, Tazman and countless other channels make a big difference with my moral!

[@brandong6242]

Agreed that Fiskars axes are the way to go for production. Once I picked up one a few years ago I rarely use my wooden handle lid axes anymore.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

I love Fiskars for production but I love my wood handles more

[@NorthernWoodsmanElite]

Good stuff Dave I love the view on your videos. The channel is growing over 6k subs keep it up

[@kkingquad]

Are you going to make a video of the new wood racks being built?

[@deliverybryan1138]

Good looking wood there David ! I run 28 to 32 inch on my ms 462 c-m r and I run 25 inch on ms 400 c-m r ! Keep up the good work and videos my friend ! Be safe out there buddy !

[@noel3065]

I agree the 28" bar is perfect for firewood. I have it on my 65 and 82 cc saws and now I'm going to try it on my 61cc. I just cut for myself so if its alittle slow thats ok. Just wondering if your still liking your new splitting axes. videos are looking good, stay safe

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Great job!

[@goatsfirewoodandfarms1918]

[@DonaldAlbrecht-c1g]

You must be in really good shape. That s alot of work I'M 78 but use a splitter

[@faronf2006]

I like how you slowly warm up your saws & truck ....just like me . There are so many ppl out their bragging about cold starts . I own both carburetor & efi vehicles ...and I know the efi ones will start in the really cold weather but WHY ...especially if the owner can plug in the engine block heater for a few hours before hand . And if not equipped with a engine block heater , then let it slowly warm up before mashing the throttle . I know of so many ppl who abuse their vehicles with ALWAYS cold starts & then drive away fast . Then years later the engine is knocking etc & they say " oh what a piece of shit " ...

[@Geoff321]

[@nebraskawoodstr]

Good vid David. I would like to get into wood that split like that. Haha. I don't even own a axe. Would do no good with wood I work with. Lol. Take care.

[@OkanganMadViking250]

My 80's 64cc echo 650 evl atm runs a 24 with a full house currently but asap I'm going to upgrade it to a 28 full house as well as get a new pair dogs on it as well then she be a beautiful saw.

[@adamholbrook2281]

Just wondering - Do you get checked for permits etc very often? How many types of tree do you cut, Fir (Douglas?), Larch anything else? How much difference is there in burning one vs the other? Appreciate the videos. Nice to have something about the outdoors to watch. Hope you and fami9ly have a great Christmas and the new work wear meets your expectations.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video buddy!! Have you ever ran a jonsred saw?? Like I was saying in one of your other videos I’m a short guy at 4’10” tall and back when I was looking for a saw of my own I happened to google that lightest chain saw and the most cc and jonsred 2159 saw was what popped up!! I new that a buddy of mine had a jonsred saw and he had said he loved running it!! So I ended up going with there 72 cc saw with a 24” bar!!! It’s definitely a fast cutting saw for sure!!! I’d definitely say faster cutting saw than any Stihl saw by far!!! The jonsred saw is made by huskavarna or the other way around!! I’m always forgetting!! Lol!! If you haven’t tried a jonsred saw I would highly recommend trying one for sure!!! Let me no what your thoughts are on a jonsred saw??? I do no that big timber cutters will definitely have a couple different jonsred saws!!!

[@adamnagy1439]

Hey. It's Jonsered, and from 1978, they are basically Husqvarnas with Jonsered design. The 2159 is basically a 359 husqvarna. Yours is either a 372, or a 572 basically.

[@lorenzomccabe3526]

If it was green it's not easy to split, they sound dry

[@dillgross6758]

slaying massive fir over here in trout creek MT with a 572xp, 32" man that saw is a killer piece of equipment.. starts every single time even in these low temps. Love love it

[@adamnagy1439]

I think that giving really small throttle when it's cold, and would stop like that, would do no harm. I'm talking about like 5% throttle. Basically what you hear as idle. couple of seconds like that, and you can leave it idling.

[@Davee94]

Whats on the gas jug? can you do a video on it?

[@rottiejakeluke]

What is the most aggressive cutting chain you use? Do you still lower the rakers on it, too? Thanks

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

For cutting fire wood I lower my rakers to .035 and when I am cutting timber or production felling I run .025

[@rottiejakeluke]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie thank you. So you are mor aggressive when bucking and less so when felling, correct?

what is the cost of a cord of wood out where you live

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

All depends on how far it’s delivered 200-500 and what area the ppl live in

[@margaretwilkinson9140]

interested in why you don't use a splitting maul on those big pieces with all your experience around wood? Also curious how much you get for one truck load of wood? we love your channel and we love to see you working so hard.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Because this Fiskars splits better than a maul and half the weight… yes with all my experience I choose the fiskars because of my experience… splitting mauls are a waste of energy unless you are banging a steel wedge threw a big block

I don't agree with everything you say, bot it's not important enough to message over. Don't worry about the fools who have to spout ignorance. The more you talk about them in later videos, the more they're encouraged to be nasty. It gives them a sense that they have some power over you and therefore others. Ignoring them is the best response. They hate that.

Not that a vehicle won't start, as was said how much long term damage is one doing. Battery warmer Block Heater /s One can bring a 2kw gen out if your going to be out in the bush all day.
