Gathering Winter Firewood at Neighbor Al's

[@bellebslife6504]

Al seems tired and maybe he doesn't feel well during this video. He did say his neck hurt and he did mention he was tired. But he still chopped wood and helped get it in the truck. He's a legend. Diego, thank you for being a good friend to Al and helping him with the wood. I know he helps you, just the same. You both are lucky to have each other. God bless you both, and may God protect Nala and keep her healthy as well as the rest of the family. Hi to Julia!

[@VickyGeagan]

Diago is more than friends with Al if you know who he is and his family.

I love your videos with Al. He's a neat dude! I feel like the forestry service guy should come have a beer with y'all 😂

[@scottfoster2487]

Glad your spending time with Al to keep him going,being alone and elderly can a burnden. You have a great heart and positive attitude. Keep on working hard and enjoying the joys of woods life.

[@albutterfield712]

No burden - I like living alone & have many good friends

[@jhay1496]

So happy to see you helping an elderly gentleman with getting his firewood for the winter. I know he appreciates it and there aren't too many young men and women like you today that would go out of their way and take time out to help someone else out

[@Sushi2735]

Bless you! Being older myself, there is no way I’d get by without the kind and generous help of my neighbors! You will never really know what a difference you make in someone’s life! When your older yourself, you be like, I wish I did more ❤️ I started to watch after seeing you with the forest service man. Your kindness shown through. As we say here in the South, “You were raised, RIGHT.”

[@Aunty-A]

That’s when I started watching too. I’m 75 and my whole day is taken up with self care. Otherwise I’d be dead by now.

[@carolglasford]

I love your videos!!! Al is such a wonderful man. It's so nice to see neighbor helping neighbor.

[@babydoll9282]

I truly love the way you and Al get along so well like Grandpa and grandson you guys truly do love each other and I love to see that.. and I'll tell you for an 80 year old guy he can really keep up with you work wise he's got some arm muscles going on😂😂😂

[@eriknielsen2578]

I would hope I lived nearby, but I live in Denmark. I have been an arborist for many years and wanted to help you for a whole week to cut up trees so that Al had wood for a few years in a row

[@oldladylinda]

Al keeps on top of things! Al is the person we all strive to be like when we reach our 80's. He's only got a couple decades on me but I admire him immensely.

[@jorgebiboso-hb6xs]

I'm praying for Your granddaughter Al.

[@pauloffthewall6367]

God bless Al and his family 🙏🇮🇪

[@PamelaDavis-j7t]

Happy to see this! We would help my dad his last few years gather his wood. He had an hydraulic splitter life saver. With all his storage it was about 5 1/2 cords. Love how Al at his age just splits these logs like he’s a young man.

[@LibreGlider]

You are the best neighbor one can have...

[@connergdaniel]

Nissan d21 still putting in work. Them old hardbodys are some tough ass trucks. That’s coming from a Toyota lover. Glad you and Al get to spend some quality time. Love old timers like him.

[@iwantmykidssusan4941]

Me and my cousin watch your videos specifically because of Al. We love his off grid paradise and I personally love watching you attempt to carve your own slice of heaven into the great state of Washington. Blessings from Kansas, the hotter and flatter version of Washington.

[@tbr528]

Check on Al often! He needs someone in his life like you!

[@svgal1382]

My Sunday morning zen.. You two are undoubtedly very good men. Al & you are the shining example of just being there for your friends & neighbors.. Both of you rock..

[@angelinajalbert3420]

Neighbour Al is a beast!! 80 years young for sure!! He reminds me of my dad in his later years cutting wood on one knee. It was always my job to go around with the 16” measuring stick and chalk to mark the lengths!! ❤

[@emil8786]

in my opinion a good choice to buy a gas power saw, the little electric one has its place for sure, but maybe not for pickup load after pickup load of firewood chunks. nice video of you two doin one of my favorite things splitting and cutting wood :D

[@househen1]

Diego, you are a true friend and neighbor to help Al get more fire wood for the winter!! I think you are a FINE young man who is very compassionate. I think it’s just the way you are but your parents had a lot to do with it as well. I too have wonderful young neighbors as well. I consider myself very blessed! Prayers for Nahla and her family.

[@Thoreau-e4l]

I've got a 99 Nissan frontier that I bought new, still runs great, thank the lord.

[@georgemarshal5288]

Hey Diego- Been a fan for several months now and thoroughly enjoy you helping Al. Nahlas story touched our hearts because my Nephew suffered Kidney loss at a young age. The transplant is successful and now he just entered Medical school to become a Doctor to help kids. God Blesses us all who have a Loving heart. He is working through you to help Als family. Our donation to Nahla will help her mom. You are truly a special person. With love from Oklahoma.

[@dragonflyhill5748]

My grandmother had an artesian spring for water for about 70 years. They kept it dug out and lined with gravel and rocks.

[@pathardin7580]

That little truck is a workhorse.

[@OutdoorswThatGuy]

Many hands make light work .. Thank you for helping out like you have and it got you out in the woods to enjoy nature with an amazing man God bless Nala ❤..Good stuff 👍💪

[@ladyindeed]

I love how Al is teaching you Diego how he’s survived off grid for so many years. And I love how you are a loving friend to him. Neighborly Love is needed more in the world! And I’m sending my prayers to little Nahla and her loved ones. It’s tough being sick and it’s tough on the family watching you be sick so I’m praying for them all and I donated a little something to add to the financial goal! Keep Trying Hard Diego👏🏽

[@albutterfield712]

Thank you so much

[@lizacatadman9937]

I love this kind of life- simple and very peaceful😊

[@goten3265]

Praying for Nahla health🙏

[@misterz2719]

Whats nice about your long bar is way less bending over to cut. Very nice you can help your neighbors.

[@josephlipetzky2825]

Glad you help Al out, it's hell getting old, I'm 66, would love to live out there, but age has caught up with me

[@matshaglund2718]

The same her [71]😅

[@Sushi2735]

Gladly donated to precious Nahla fundraiser ❤

[@jhtfour]

Shout out to you, Diego. Many You Tubers are only focused upon themselves and adding subscribers. Appreciate your willingness to use your platform to help others.

[@eronbellia9712]

You and al are wonderful great human beings. Love the videos about your guys friendship. Heart of heart's. God bless!

[@ScottMason-ss8ww]

Al is a proper grafter! Great to see you helping each other. Had to watch my sister pass with liver and kidney failure, terrible. Good luck nala❤

[@eliodiroaguilar4115]

Coffee ☕️ an watching 👀 you two fun an learning always new things.

[@bradkoste1128]

al has a whole tree bucked up by the time it takes you get ready

[@user-du1xj7px6i]

That’s beautiful that you take time hang out talk with AL. As well as help him out. You can tell AL is full of great wisdom. God bless AL granddaughter may she be free from any sickness illness great prosperous health and life. 🙏

[@bigwoodtree]

Qué hermoso ver cómo se apoyan mutuamente. Ayudar a tu vecino a recolectar leña para el invierno refleja el verdadero sentido de comunidad. ¡Gran trabajo

[@davidschwarz169]

love your firewood cutting videos also glad you got some chaps one day they will save you alot of pain

[@Richardclash379]

Never skip a video with Al in it. Such a wonderful person and a great neighbor.

[@Briggsgeorge9]

I knew you two were a great team , nice to hear you share and help each other and it’s great to know Ale shows you his wisdom.

[@benniedonald]

Praying for Nala

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Great video loved his story!

[@becry969]

I love Al 🤍 he’s cool 😎

[@oscartheg6674]

Okay 70 now a few decade ago did firewood for room and board and it was 6 cord of firewood a month, and that was delivered also I could do it, I'm not that young anymore so it's kind of nice to watch you work stay safe.

[@sandrasmith1186]

Nice to see Al bought a new saw. It helps

[@frankhall4]

watching you spilt wood with an axe reminds of my dad.. he grew up on a plantation in the south and had to split wood when he was very young... Thanks. he has been gone for a while .. good memories. It is nice to see you help us old folks.

[@Briggsgeorge9]

Good feed of two men bonding and working towards each others needs

[@shirleypowell6768]

I'm so glad to see you take the time to help Al, God Bless you and Al. It's good to see you and him work so good together.I love watching your videos.😊

Beast mode at 20 min. Nice splitting man! And nice to help a neighbor

[@rickypannuto]

Nice and warm for the winter time.

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Diego and Al, Greetings from Montreal !! Wow, one wrong move and it's over the edge and down the cliff face !! It is just beautiful out there. You're a Good Man Charlie Brown !!! Well Done for chopping wood with Al.

[@Briggsgeorge9]

You two earned the beer this afternoon , what a work out . Young stud had the splitting well

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

Just love the new saw buttery smooth 😊

[@sup4112]

Now that's a saw!

[@thejoshfargo]

I’ve got a first gen frontier but i’m jealous of the hardbody!

Bu videoda komşu Al'ın ormandaki şebekeden bağımsız kulübesi için kışlık yakacak odun toplamasına yardım ediyorum. Mülkünden düşen ağaçları kullanarak Nissan pikapıyla 1 kamyonet yükü topluyoruz. Al yakın zamanda 84 yaşına girdi ve 1977'de Washington eyaletinin kırsal kesimindeki mülkünü satın aldığından beri her yıl aynı rutini izliyor. O benim için gerçek bir ilham kaynağı. Umarım bu video başkalarına içlerindeki Al'ı bulma konusunda ilham verir.

[@catherineweedman8718]

Al is amazing! Is he really in his 80’s? I’lm an 84 year old woman and I’m impressed with his abilities. Besides which, I can’t even back my Prius into my two car garage! Keep it up guys. You’re both great.

[@albutterfield712]

I'm 84 too

[@KHIN168-h2m]

Good 👍

[@suecrothers9041]

A lot of hard work... heating with wood!

[@TimothySickles]

❤ love it

[@Briggsgeorge9]

Like the way you work with each other , like a father and son .

[@callumwood2949]

Donated, good luck ❤

[@white4369]

hope nala get beter

[@rayboucher479]

Diego you spend a lot of time cutting on the tip . That is where it kicks back the easiest and that ain’t no little battery chainsaw you are playing with. Your old saw you would have to really work to get seriously hurt but this new saw things will happen a lot quicker and the results are gonna be much worse. Bend a little and get off the tip. I was taught to use an old pioneer chainsaw I had trouble lifting at 13 years old by a 60 year old man and his eighty year old father who could still split wood just like Al. While the good thing is them chaps may come in handy !

[@francocepeda2175]

Buen video!! acá en Argentina si rompes un espejo de la camioneta te sale carísimo!!

[@olimpista43]

Me imagino ... en latinoamrica todas esas cosas son bastante costosas.

[@kevinvaughn3715]

Very nice, please keep up the good work(s)

[@VickyGeagan]

Al's friend Dusty is living in the Monticello, Main area. He left to work in England in international waters working on an offshore radio station. He owns WBCQ international shortwave and WXME classic country. He lives with his life partner. Let Al know. Dusty was also in Easy Rider magazine.

[@albutterfield712]

Really ?? Dusty Pederson, Native American Flathead Nation ? Can you have him contact me ?

[@AivoPaas]

oh, that's a nice little saw you got there

[@rtoadontheroad]

There goes the paint job Al.haha

[@georgereidler3130]

Glad to see you helped Al What kind of wood was that? I’m from eastern Pennsylvania Gathering myself loads of firewood for the upcoming winter. I really enjoyed watching this video

for my Hodgkins Diease treatments back in the 80s 1 of the 8 drugs was $120 a month, Dad only made $ 656 a year for a family of 6 and he was, working PenDOT.prayers for her

[@Briggsgeorge9]

Thanks for nana’s story, I have taken a pic of the donation form

[@mitchmoore44]

Who worked harder? You guys or that damn TRUCK!! Shout out to Nissan! Make trucks like that again haha

[@danelionheart5881]

Bless that little girls heart. Al seems to be holding his own. Ah the old wood cook stove. Most today would never believe this but some of the best food I ever had was cooked off an old wood cook stove. Home made bread. Fresh baked apple pie. I know people still to this day that only cook on a wood cook-stove even in the summer. Yep even when it is 102 F they cook on their wood cook stove. Diego you split wood like I do. There was this old man that was watching me split and never said a word till I was done. Then he tells me to have a seat on a log I did not split. He said Son Wrap a wire coat hanger around the axe handle and the mall handle close to the axe head and mall head. Then he showed me how to do it and I wasn't sure why. I asked him WTH for and he pulled out some pictures of a guy that had to have a couple operations on his back shoulders and elbow. He said son that man was splitting like you. I said how well did you know the guy and he said well son I knew him all my life that guy was me. You wont notice much the first few times maybe with splitting with the wire wrapped but in time you will and thank me for telling you about it.

[@raten2791]

Al you could tighten the handle on your peavey with some epoxy, or wood wedges and a little glue.

[@dantheman6698]

i like the firewood gathering videos. how many truckfulls of wood does he need to last him a whole winter? help him get way more then he doesnt have to worry or work too hard.

[@albutterfield712]

Winters are mild here , so I can get wood all winter. Maybe 10 loads or so

[@mikeydeighan]

Prayers and ❤ for Nala.

[@raten2791]

Hey Diego there are some really big trees not far from your cabin if you wana see just what that saw can do...might need a bigger bar though. The mushrooms are popping up everywhere around you too.

[@robperkins2674]

Long enough bar you got there lol

[@glenharvey7195]

Well I guess people won't be picking on your chainsaw anymore 🤣🤣🤣

[@odisdenney690]

Other than a hydraulic wood splitter, what is your preferred splitting maul? Great videos

[@Breakeno]

Just out of Curiosity From East of Coast of Canada, how's the Tick population down there? They are crazy up here. Great Videos Thanks for the entertainment!

[@albutterfield712]

Very few ticks here

Come on guys let’s make this $40,000 happen for Al’s Granddaughter. 👍🏽

[@viqq183]

[@praca1736]

I don't know English, so sorry, the translation is google 1. you should try to add another alternator, the water wheel has a lot of power 2. in my opinion, many people would like to sleep at Al's place, you should expand the place where you slept with a bathroom and a reservation system for sleeping when it is free
