MARTHA is AWESOME!! That woman is unbelievable. Good to see ya interview her. Looks like a fun show! Thanks for sharing Phil and Karen 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

She’s definitely good people . Honastly we didn’t think she would have time to talk with us but we figured it was worth a shot to ask and she said yes . Woodsman’s day at the fair is always a good time . Been going since I was old enuf to drive myself there and it never disappoints.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Karen and Phil always a great 👍 pleasure watching your videos 👀 ed like you guys had a blast 💥 at woodsman days 😮😊❤

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It was a long day standing at that fence but we enjoy watching the competition.

[@dono9879]

Hello Phil and Karen. Thanks for taking us along to the show. I think they should have had a stacking competition and Karen could have competed and taken the gold medal. Phil I’ve seen you use that 500I with some speed. You probably would have given them a run for the money. Thanks for another good video.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Haha Dono! As speedy as we are, we certainly can’t hold a candle to these competitors. It probably would make some funny video though! 😂

[@cwwhite5137]

Hey guys, this is a show I've never seen. Great show. Martha and Dave and the others are just plain amazing! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. . Chip

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

You’re welcome Chip! This event always draws a large crowd. Amazing what these competitors can do. And they do most of the events so by the end of the day, they still give it all they have

[@CherylGagnon-c3o]

[@davidlibby7230]

You two make great news casters. I think that was some of the best event coverage I have seen.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Appreciate that David, but we’re pretty sure there’s a little room for improvement! It was a fun day

[@bobfitch607]

Great vidio . Love watching all the events. Glad your both all better. Wish I could do Bunyan. Hope next year. enjoy the weekend there 👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It’s a fun day for sure plus we got to spend a lil time walking around the fair . Cold is still kicking me but I wasn’t about to mis woodsman day

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Martha King just inspired me. What a beautiful human. Well done guys.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

From what we have read about her and actually meeting her in person it’s easy to tell she’s good people .

[@hillbillyfranks]

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It seems to get bigger every yr . Definitely a fun day . Thanks Frank

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

Awesome video you guys! Thanks for taking us along! We watched this as a family tonight. Looked like a great time!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Tim, happy you all enjoyed it. It was a great time and seems to grow each year. A lot of families there that have attended for years and years. We’ve been going since we were kids, a lot of memories!

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

This looks like a great show. Martha is pretty incredible. Great interview with her. Thank you for sharing.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

[@davidedwards3734]

Great events!! Thanks for taking us along!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks David, it was a great time!

[@Mainelywork]

🤘Way to stick it out in that crowd! Nice interviews and I can’t believe nobody is selling splitters there!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Ya crazy not to see anyone selling splitters or chainsaws at the fair .

[@ClellWise]

Heck Phil..you and Dana could handle the pairs crosscut saw! That'd be a hoot and a half. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

lol maybe back in the day , heck even the guys in the 69 and older class woulda kicked our buts .

[@smorefirewood]

@@ClellWise just as long as somebody is standing by with oxygen masks and some nitro pills.

[@smorefirewood]

@@AllenFamilyFirewood no doubt. We could do it and win if we dressed in drag. The other guys and gals would either be sick and puking 🤮 of laughing too hard to compete.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

@@smorefirewood well I already got the nitro pills .

[@smorefirewood]

@@AllenFamilyFirewood 👍🏻

[@camperjack2620]

Wow, that was fun to watch. Its like Phil and Karen gave me a personal trip to fair. Thank you very much.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

And you didn't have to deal with parking or traffic to get there 😂👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Jack, it was a fun time

[@smorefirewood]

Martha was a very nice young lady. We happened to be on the sidelines while the Allen’s interviewed her.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Super nice lady and a top notch competitor for sure .

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Ellensburg Washington is 3.5 hours of a drive from my house. Thanks for going and having fun. Most importantly, thanks for taking us along 😁👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It was a great time, glad we could show everyone some of it

[@TwinCityFirewood]

Great video!! Martha is a cool gal!! Very much enjoyed the interview with her!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Jacob it was fun to actually meet her .

[@WilleysFirewood]

Looks like a great day and Martha seems really awesome. She has an excellent attitude. See you at Bunyan.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It was a lot of fun. Martha is a class act, and so talented. See you at Bunyan!

[@MicahHughes-y9t]

Could have really used Dave and his hot-saw when you had that load of dirty logs, would have had it all bucked-up before the chain had a chance to get dull! Martha King is the Queen of the show, lovely young woman. Have a good time at the show.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I shoulda asked how it would do in dirty wood when we were talking lol . Martha has definitely put in her time and earned all of them top spots . Just being able to do all of the different parts of the competition is truly amazing for any one person .

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Very cool thanks for sharing👍👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

You’re welcome! It was a fun day

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good Show Guys👏🏻👍🇺🇸

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks guys. Look forward to seeing you again at Bunyan!

[@bensfirewood]

Glad to see you're feeling better Phil!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Well to be honest I’m not but i wasn’t about to miss woodsman day at the fair . Havant missed one since I was old enuf to drive .

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Jumpins that’s a great show. I figured out where Fryeburg is. That would be a fun show to be at, the amount of people was amazing. Have a great time at Paul Bunyan show. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It really is a great show Noel. Tons of people and it seems to get bigger every year. We’re looking forward to the Bunyan show, leaving first thing in the morning!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@dermot107]

Good one you guy's look like you had a good time ❤

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks, we had a great time

[@brandonhoad9033]

OMG, those double bucks, sooo fast

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

With the right team they sure can get it done in a hurry.

[@906sisu5]

Looked like a good time

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It was a lot of fun, amazing what some of those competitors can do

[@susanscherer143]

I guessed correctly before I opened the video😊

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Good guess! 👍

[@cecilwells-tm4ss]

nice job👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

All of the competitors did a great job and it’s so much more fun watching it in person than on tv .

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Used to have a big woodsmans in tupper lake

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

They’re a lot of fun to watch. Amazing what they can do!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

See ya in a few days.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

See ya there!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there nice john

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

See ya at the show John

[@rammur1]

I noticed that there wasn't any chain saw carving

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Not in this event, but pretty sure in the exhibition halls there was a lot of that craftsmanship. Unfortunately we didn’t make it that far this year

[@jameschandler2776]

Does this last all week? It looks like a fun and interesting event. Too bad it is the same time as Paul Bunyon. The Bunyan used to have all these events and was a required eve3nt for the people that compete nationwide. Hocking College started the Paul Bunyan Show but the new president decided she didn't want it anymore. It is a shame because it really helped the small towns near there because it brought in so many people. You would have had to drive past my house to get there. I retired as an instructor there and attended the college when I got out of the USAF.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Interesting info Jim. The fair lasts all week, but they only have the woodsmen’s events on Monday. It was a good time.

[@thomasworatschka6860]

Which is faster 344cc chainsaw or buster

[@BertsCustomCuts]

See you at Bunyan

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

See you there Bert! Looking forward to it

[@thomasworatschka6860]

Is my question going to be answered

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

@@thomasworatschka6860 Sorry we just got home from making bundles all day and loading the truck . At the moment I’d say Dave’s saw is faster because right now ole buster is torn apart and missing the hydraulic cylinder . Sure would be fun to have them both side by side to see though .

[@waynetharp]

Please and Thank You, go a long way in this world, Thomas! Try them sometime...👍👍

[@thomasworatschka6860]

Are you going to get 344cc saw for bucking. If so what would be the cost?

[@jasonpeterson9276]

Dang now that would be a bucketlist event to come up for. Which event are you going to enter Phil?? Looks like a fun day. 😊

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It’s definitely the biggest fair in Maine and woodsman day brings in a huge crowd . Been going since I was a teen and never competed and probably never will there’s some serious competition at this event . It’s much more enjoyable standing at the fence and watching everyone .
