[@nourltuber]

Definitely nice set-up you have there! It works well for you. I hate you had to take the table apart but at least you saved it. Good to see you and be well, JB 😁😉👍

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thank JB! Yea, the table will be in a better replace now 😀

Hey buddy how are ya? I really enjoy your channel! You are doing what I’ve always wanted to as a young fella. I’m glad to see that woodland mills has brought out the woodland log arch. It looks to be very sturdy and will last a long time. I built a log arch a few years ago that is very similar to the woodlander. It will haul a 34 inch log between the uprights. One thing that helps a lot when initially, lifting the log with the winch. Run the cable under the log, attach the hook to the upper support near the pulley. That way the log is par buckled and is only half the weight on the winch mechanism itself. That way the winch will last a lot longer and it’s much easier to lift. I also wrap the log from the top with the chain an put the chain in 2 locking points on the arch crisscrossed. The log is better controlled on rough terrain. Just a few things I learned hauling logs. Thank you so much for sharing what ya do. God bless you and your family.

Thanks for taking the time to share that tip! I'm going to give it a try. I see what you mean though. Should especially help with the bigger logs I hope

I worked as a faller & a sawyer for over 30 years, now retired, I enjoyed seeing how you went about extracting this short log safely & cleanly out to the station. Of coarse almost all my extraction equipment was much larger but the bugs as you call them are the same size the world over as I live (and worked) in the UK, at times they drove me bloody mad & yes we have mosquito's too, we have one almost as deadly, a Cleg or horse fly, you never felt them land on you even light clothing, but sure as hell felt their bite when they sucked your blood....Looking forward to your future video's.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Nice to make the connection with you. Where in the UK are you? My family is from there originally.

[@Tomhohenadel]

That Larch will give you some nice lumber off the mill. Good video, thanks Jon.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Yes it will, got to decide what I want to saw from it now

[@almackmackinnon]

I milled some tamarack from my property into 8x8s ect 2 years ago, really liked the way it worked up, much stronger than other softwoods I’ve been told

[@PenniacWilderness]

Good to know, hope to get it milled soon

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy brother- that log arch trailer works really well. Have you sawed the tamerack log yet? We don’t have any of that down here and was curious how it sawed. Hope your weekend is good well. God bless

[@PenniacWilderness]

Hoping to saw it within the next week. I want to be sure what I want milled from it before I do. These bigger logs I like to take my time with. Hope all is well with you.

Hi, just found your channel. Question ... is your ATV shaft or belt drive? I prefer shaft drive, but my current 550 Grizzly is belt driven unfortunately. I think I'd have concerns with doing much twitching with a belt driven ATV. Your thoughts? Thanks!

[@denislosieroutdoors]

Awesome set up there eh! Log lander saves on wear and tear for sure... I was thinking of using black spruce also for my sill logs on the cabin build and the rest cedar cause they are more uniform less taper... are black spruce fairy rot resistant?

[@PenniacWilderness]

I think they are OK but not as good as cedar or hemlock for sure. If kept dry and not in contact with the ground I think can last quite a long time though!

How do you like your bucket forks are they 2000lbs or 4000lbs forks and do you feel there worth the buy or any problem with them bending the bucket thanks Jon.

[@PenniacWilderness]

I actually don't know what weight they are rated for. But I really like them and use them a lot. They aren't perfect, and I have to realign them often. But for moving logs and lumber they have been great.

[@GerryBerndt-gn4zi]

Thanks for your reply.@@PenniacWilderness

[@mikeduda3173]

ONLY way to move a log

[@robertd6925]

Are you running a honda foreman or rincon?
