Dude! Love your videos! Reminds me of cutting cedar shake bolts and fire wood with my dad back it the 70s and early 80s! Dad always ran Homelite saws till later when he switched to Husqvarna. He had an old 1949 power wagon with a pto driven big ass winch on it, that’s how we yarded most everything. Great memories with my dad! Keep them coming bud!! P.S. just found your channel, been busy binge watching to catch up lol

It's a way of life that I'm trying to hold onto as long as I can. Turning 60 in September..still out work guys half my age!! I enjoy your videos...and respect the hubby and wife team approach 💪🍁🔥

Man I hate leaving a good log like that on the side of the road, most of the time its gone by the time I can get back to it.
