Loggers Trick Outsmart Everyone In The Woods

Here is a loggers trick to make other people do all the work. I am on my family’s ranch opening up the road to our forest land up the mountain. We have an off grid cabin on our forest land on this mountain. I look at a recently dead big old growth white fir to decide if I want to cut it down for lumber or firewood.

Need to find yourself an old Suzuki Samurai.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

That is the first vehicle I thought of. I rented one on Cayman Island, and it was tiny...but full featured and remarkably well made.

[@jjskn93]

Was literally about to write that.

[@sameddleman4991]

I have one that works great here around the property.

[@stefflus08]

Or a Subaru Brat. It's lower.

[@realityawayfromreality3494]

Import a 20 year old kei truck. Even has a neat hydraulic lift bed.

[@woodworker3122]

You live the life others only dream of..you’re a blessed man.

[@dougreid2351]

Amen.

[@artemiasalina1860]

That's very beautiful property. Your great grandfather was a smart man to invest in it.

[@meirionevans5137]

'So, what did you do for summer break?' "Oh, cleaned the drive and filled the pool"

[@rastus666]

Looked like railroad ties lining the pool. I hope it was untreated lumber.

[@user-ik4fd9ny4b]

OH MY!!! To have such a piece of property! I was excited just driving on the old road.. And then the trees!! Magnificent. Glorious! If each behemoth was worth $100K in lumber, I couldn't cut even one of them down. What a special place..

[@dougreid2351]

Thanks for the tour. DOUG out

[@whiteboundry]

i grew up on these types of properties, drinking spring water straight out of the side of the mountains. I'm my 20s, i was a surveyor's helper and witnessed hundreds of beautiful, family-owned properties get parceled out because the families could no longer afford taxes. now, here in Virginia, town houses are everywhere. it's soul crushing

[@HubertofLiege]

Beautiful high country timber. Hope you can hang onto it for generations.

[@Wheelloader__]

The scenery in your videos alone make them worth watching. But you’re pretty cool too Wilson. 😁

[@woodruffhilton-b1598]

[@lylemorton8641]

Buster Scruggs lives on :) Beautiful place.

[@lucasdog1]

Just own the scratches and wear them like a badge of honor. 'Round here we call them "Tennessee pinstripes"

[@artszabo1015]

Ha! That's pretty funny, I'll remember that one but I'll let people think I made it up. Art from Ohio

Beautiful country, if that was my land no one would ever see me. Thanks for the vides and stay safe.

[@petewilson2314]

Props to the old timers getting stuff up the mountain on mules, we have such an easy life now

[@magunco]

love your sense of humor

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

I admire your love for your properties . I share your enthusiasm because I am equally proud of my piece of land that was purchased by my great grandfather . I'm on the other side of north America and my land is a piece of the Acadian forest . Mostly made up of old growth hard maple , both yellow and white birch , and a few species of spruce .

[@johnglenn30csardas]

You’re like a one man Yellowstone. Without as much “drama.”

[@davefran01]

Older Subaru wagon with a stick, hurrah for mtn springs 🤔

[@IowaKim]

Yes! My ancient 2002 Subaru Forester, manual transmission, would fit the bill.

[@TUCOtheratt]

It was really fun to join you doing your forest work. What a beautiful place!

[@Bushman9]

Holy crap that fir was big!

[@bwillan]

Suzuki Samurai or Sidekick would qualify as smaller 4 wheel drive vehicle. Beyond that, you are in the territory of side by side ATV/UTVs.

[@sqike001ton]

Japanese K truck they are cheap small and 4 wheel drive

[@saltrock9642]

A “Barbie Jeep” would be perfect!

[@mudpuddle8805]

The only way a normal person can have property like that is if it was purchased many generations before and handed down through the years.

[@at_3831]

Not true hard work and determination stop being a victim

[@Freedom_Half_Off]

​@@at_3831 There is a difference between being an optimist and being delusional . Rural land that was selling for 800 dollars an acre 25 years ago is now selling for as much as 5000 to 8000 dollars an acre in some places today ... on top of property tax hikes . The statement was accurate unless you win the lottery or have a favorite aunt or uncle named Walton ...

[@zendell37]

​@@at_3831 Calm down and stop being hateful. OP wasn't crying and making a fuss, just pointing it out. We lost most of the land we had out in the country due to petty squabbling. Thankfully my mom bought a small plot decades prior to that. Now there's no anchor for us to rely on when going up to it. It's a shame.

[@saltymofo5870]

I’m 100% with you on the truck thing, get your self a Honda side x side to run up the mt on. The pioneer 520 will fit in the bed of that superduty!

[@micksoden7064]

Wicked sense of humour 😂

[@oscartheg6674]

I appreciate your dry wit thank you.

[@robinhall3347]

Wow, wonderful rolling hills/grassland you drove through. Your grandfather's land is beautiful. Good to know you like fresh cool springs! 🤪

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

What a nice place you all have. Thanks for sharing with us all. While everyone is telling you get what's. Sit back and relax and dont forget the drink of your spring water 😉👍

[@josephstratti52]

That old relative did a lot of work and the shade growth was cool for his form of transport

[@ElectricDanielBoone]

Looks like your entire family have been good stewards of their land! That is really good to see! Looks like it’s time for a little side by side (Gator?) to get around on. Save some fuel and better for your big truck not to be making all those short trips.

[@BolenRanchLLC]

How about a Polaris ranger? Small bed for saws, 4x4, don’t have to worry about scratching it either.

[@danstevens2204]

What a place! You’ve got some magnificent country over there.

[@vancolucci5949]

What a beautiful place! A quiet haven to get away from the crowd madding place down below.

[@eastcoastlogworx9481]

You need one of those cab-over Japanese mini trucks. That’s what I use for getting around my woodlot. Mine has the dump on it and it’s surprisingly heavy duty for something so small.

[@Mikedenton541]

Japanese mini truck, KEI Truck. 4x4, 6' bed, two person cab, low gear and often a diff lock. All will be imported and therefore 25+ years old. You can't register in Oregon though, you need to know some one in Washington to get a plate.

[@timothy____1989]

Or just keep it up there as the off-road only vehicle.

[@peterberg12353]

And you could register it as farm use only

[@markworden9169]

Hmmm, maybe an old Geo Tracker also called a Chevy Tracker

[@brucewatson8451]

What a wonderful place to be. Enjoy, Bruce

[@treepop1550]

I have never owned a subaru but i have read and heard many comments from a variety of people that have experience with them that their awd systems are the best performing and reliable ! My 2 cents!! By the way, you are living my dream !! I love big trees,woodworking and solitude ! Subscribed!

[@ericarachel55]

ask your dad for a ride!

[@Maryland_Kulak]

Get a Subaru Forester. It’s even named after Foresters.

[@HubertofLiege]

First, a manbun

[@pauladams3789]

I recently got a polaris ranger for the property and it’s been a great tool for me.

[@getahanddown]

Subaru Justy. Proper locking centre, locking rear and LSD front, fits ATV tyres too lol

[@charlieandhudsonspal7031]

You need one of those vehicles everyone in Hawaii has. Can’t think of it. Oh, Samurai! 😀✌🏻

[@1954shadow]

The big truck on the trail, blues, lol.

[@desert-walker]

Wow, pretty cool place well, you got plenty of firewood. That’s for sure.

[@alansummerscales3376]

Great to see you learnt the correct use of a battery chainsaw. The quick jobs.😂

[@oybeutu]

An old military surplus jeep like a Willys. If you put the windshield down that is lower than the others. If you have the hardhat on you might just avoid the branches.

[@user-yb5bg8im5g]

just found your site. got chills when you said grandfather. tear to my eye when you said great grandfather. what a life...

[@notflanders4967]

1:30 what a cinematic shot.. The sky... Looks like the beginning or ending of a Ford commercial

[@Syncop8rNZ]

All this driveway maintenance, it's like watching a Marty T video.

[@billpetersen298]

I was thinking, if the city crew did that. It would shut down all the roads in the area, take a week or two, have a work camp, and crew. At who knows, what cost?

[@mauricerichard3611]

Wow … beautiful countryside

[@athanandronico4473]

I bought a Subaru and it will handles those roads no problem and you will get way better gas mileage too. I hunted last year in it and it performed almost as good as my Jeep. Perfect for your NorCal ranch. Beautiful Ranch

[@jackdawg4579]

You need an old suzuki Jimny!

[@bonniek3985]

Thanks for the meteorology lesson. Very interesting.

[@c.g.curtis9480]

Thank you for letting us ride with you. It is a beautiful property - God's creation. Enjoy it fully.

[@R_Wyatt545]

What’s your method to tapping into those springs? Got several on my farm and trying to pipe them like that! Thanks for any tips…

[@Watson1]

I would be happy to clear the junk for free, just to visit the place.

[@lagrenouille21]

Subaru Outback !!!👍

[@BearMountainBigfootRescue]

Polaris General, fun, small, utility dump bed, climbs as good or better, goes around practically everything, 12" clearance stock, fast, dog friendly, mother approved and hauls a lot of gear including chainsaws, tools, tree stands and mans best friend(s). ❤😁

[@guypehaim1080]

An original Willys MB military Jeep is probably smaller than either of the other two vehicles and it is rated at a 1/4 ton and it has 4-wheel drive.

[@explor360]

Regarding the vehicle, it dawned on me that perhaps the family torch has been passed down to you to maintain the property. At some point you may be able to pass it down to your kids but for now it appears that you have that responsibility. What ever you do please don’t sell it.

[@randyharrington3005]

I live outside of Kansas city, and do a lot of bigfoot research, Would love to use a thermal drone and parabolic recorders at night for a week there just seeing what is happening in the night there. Awesome place you have there.

[@user-ev3zd1pp7m]

Btw I’m so jealous , beautiful place you have

[@michaelosmon]

Your family is very blessed, thank you for sharing your experience If I were in your situation I'd probably look for a 4wd Honda acty or a Suzuki carry

[@L4teSh1ft]

I have an old series land rover which is perfect for those kinda trails. With a soft top of canvas/hoops (which you can temporarily remove) and lower the windscreen, the tallest thing would be you and you can just duck under branches. You get 4x4, high clearance, narrow body, low over head, and fun. Just bring a lot of spare oil.

[@duckwacker8720]

I wouldn't worry about the fur branches. I'd drive right through them on day one of owing my truck.

[@ArtietheArchon]

a long time ago there was the AMC eagle, nice little 4WD (not AWD) hatchback sedan

[@digger0429]

Interesting video, thank you

[@wooduniversity7109]

Kept waiting for Bigfoot to walk across the road.

[@user-ud1bp9vo8t]

Don’t forget to get John boy and Jim bob to build that cabin.

[@Twobrothersoutdoors]

That doug fir was huge! Can't even imagine the sawmill needed to mill that tree or the equipment needed to move it.

[@williepelzer384]

I worked in a saw Mill in the 70s- 1992 we cut many logs that were 60" + the most beautiful lumber you have NEVER SEEN. I Built our shop and house out of it. 4"-12" floor joists free of Hart centers Tite grain, no knot's.

[@williepelzer384]

Buy a Polaris ranger both my boys have them good machines

[@DrDjones]

Dang, got some nice views up there

[@gundog7199]

International harvester Scout!

[@Donaldperson7]

That spring water should go in a decent sized tank!

[@chir0pter]

8:30 great explanation!

[@rvhill69]

At least you know who has to clean the road.

[@user-qz5qy1jb7u]

I’m feeling sorry for you it seems like you’re having a lot of trouble hopefully things are better tomorrow

[@danielfantino1714]

Well your grandfather was something special, to carry all that stuff up there when there was no road. Just building it was a titan work. I feel so pitty with my 7 acres flat clay. But still, it´s my paradise.

[@chuckw1021]

You're having too much fun doing the tree cutting for the family. Keep the big truck

[@xdrag4854]

66-74 Bronco, Suzuki Samurai or a Geo Tracker all small four wheel drives. My friend had a early 2000's Tracker and it was very dependable. Bronco's are not cheap anymore.

[@BriNaCa]

How about a UTV and a can of orange spray paint so the family doesn't miss the stuff that needs to be cut.

[@SickofTired]

Beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along

[@allancoffee]

2:56 Did you see the wooden lizard doing the🤘devil's horns? 😅

[@NAMCBEO]

I wonder if the relatives got the hint ? Mine never do ! What I would do is, on the way out , pile up the cuttings as a road block, then they would have to do something.

[@magunco]

tell us more about your grandfather

[@oscararborist]

Ignerint liberal eastern intellectual here. You need a little Subaru like we gots here! 🙂

Very interesting a long way from Pa you are lucky

[@haroldhunter4671]

You have a hell of a piece of property. The area and land size and features is my dream idea of living.

[@janetgray2184]

Wonderful

[@shaun8256]

Suzuki side kick! Mid 90's 4 wheel drive smaller than both a ranger or jeep, unless it's a 1940's willy's jeep.

[@aaronallenlmt]

Buddy of mine drives an old "convertible" Subaru station wagon (well, he cut the top off) around his mountainside forest property just up the way from you in Washington. It's got us places his truck never would've.

[@cimbus]

I kept looking for and expecting to see a Sasquatch through this entire video and unfortunately was disappointed not to see one or any signs of one. The bear foot print got my hopes up high.

[@johnvelas70]

My trick to getting out of work is to tell whoever is there "I got a brilliant idea". They immediately give me a cup of tea & tell me they will do whatever needs done.

[@occultustactical6138]

Go to Iron Planet and just buy an old Army Humvee. They don’t get scratched and you can drive over all that dead fall.

[@Donaldperson7]

Nice range land!

[@benbiagioni9906]

Love the was you idle the corn binder "up the mountain".

[@ericrice6748]

I have a 3/4 ton GMC so I'm in the same boat as you, but I do have a 31 year old honda 4 wheeler but it does need some work!!!

I use an atv on our property. Very nimble and with a trailer you can pack a lot of gear in.
