Cutting Firewood & Rattling for Whitetail Deer!!! 🪓 🌲 🪵 🔥 🦌

[@stevecox3068]

People who don't know, are quick to find fault in everything, nice truck cuz, stay safe, happy birthday Brantley!!

[@saulestrada9389]

Don't worry about haters, just do your own thing it seems to work. Good luck with deer,

[@Demodad68]

Dude, I love your attitude, people are gonna do or say whatever they want, and I love how many f*#*s you don't give lol

[@glenspryszak6005]

Don't underestimate those smaller dead standing. They pack tighter and require less splitting... That is some beautiful scenery.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Most definitely but it takes forever to load the truck with those

[@foothillsreadiness]

I have always heard and have read in a book called “Wood Heat” that limb wood has more stored energy than trunk wood.

[@taylormach1699]

Good to see the old FORD out and about.

[@kimmower6196]

I proud of you folks doing what you like to do kids involved great wood have a wonderful day be safe good luck rattling in a deer for you 10 year old how great

[@kkingquad]

Not gonna lie I’m jealous of the new truck that’s my dream truck for sure. As far as ruffling feathers go keep up the good work it’s means you’re reaching a much greater audience. The rest of us aren’t Burt hurt at all. Should have your stuff in the mail this week

I said it on the last video and I'm gonna say it again. I absolutely love your new to you truck. My grandpas was only a 2wd and and all kinds of toggles for lights and such because the originals didn't work anymore.

[@howardsmith4729]

I enjoy watching you cut wood. I live in Texas and I cut my own wood for the wood stove. We only burn oak down here because it is so plentiful. Keep it up I enjoy cutting wood as much as you do.

What a great resource that would otherwise degrade to no value. Guys like yourself is what keep keeps this country going. Great work great lookin firewood. Hustled alot firewood with an ole 67 f-250 when I was younger.

Right on I'm glad that you're Colville member I have a friend that lives in Republic Washington and family we do the same thing we have to buy wood permit through the forest service keep on keeping on man you and your family stay nice and warm this winter kill a big buck

[@rolandpinette9946]

I really enjoyed this video, and your focus on the positive things you do, David. That's how you grow a channel. All the best to you, Kelsie, and your beautiful family.

Hey you twos. New to the channel from up and over on Vancouver Island and catching up on some vids. I like seeing you Stand and Buck, but then I see you bend to finish the cut... Save your back man. Really digging that older truck... Giddy up.. *Edit*... I guess i should have waited to comment till the end. Haha

[@lhmm149]

Love that truck!! And i must say i admire you as a family bc you stay together and do the hard work! Dont mind the internett trolls.. dont waste time on them :) im working in the woods myself at winter time bc the timber is dryer in the winter.. in Norway we dont cut timber at summer. Great videos👍

What a beautiful experience that you are sharing with us my friend, thanx for the wonderful work in nature and greeting from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Cutting in a Sitka jacket. I'd cut shirtless before I'd cut with my Sitka on, I'd be to worried I'd mess it up. Keep up the good work. I took my best whitetail to date during our firearms opener here in Michigan this fall.

[@Northwoods208]

You get what you pay for, should hold up 🤷‍♂️

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@Northwoods208 love it but I’m a scent control freak too. Hunting in Michigan is a little different than hunting out west. More stand sitting than stout and stalk etc.

[@Northwoods208]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I get that, I'm fairly OCD about scent control, but a good washing takes care of it, and ultimately the wind is more important than anything. Can't fool the nose

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

I wear my hunting clothes all the time no matter what I just play the wind because I am always on foot now if I was in a blind or tree stand I would be more worried

[@visa1960]

Love your channel man keep up the good work

[@greylonewolf_outdoors]

Lot of reason I watch your videos was I thought you could be a relative of mine. I'm ojibwe from north dakota. I moved to minnesota because of the trees. I love trees. North Dakota's boring you can see your dog leaving you for days, it flat and not one tree in the state, lol.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks my friend!

[@brandong6242]

Appreciate the explanation on dry softwoods and how the permitting works on reservation lands. Similar to cutting on forest service land. I am about done cutting for the season, already got almost 3 feet of snow down here by stevens pass. It’s snowmobile season now!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

I wished I had a sled I miss riding use to ride hearts pass all the time

[@orinbeavers5941]

Well my wife got a letter in the mail last Monday and are insurance company is making me take my wood stove out of my skinning shop and if I don't they will cancel my home owners insurance I love cutting wood it just sucks you can't do what you want to on your own property anymore I hope you're son gets a big old buck keep them videos coming 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

That’s unfortunate

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Nice work pays for your gas for your hunting trip. I run 28 inch bars. They work really well for me don’t understand all the people and there 20 24 inch bars. Need to find me old high boy.

[@noel3065]

I was wondering where you guys were from and now I seen your license plate, thank you. I also use full skip chisel chain and now I switched from Stihl to Oregon evl (I think evl) I like it alittle better, if you think of it menchin it what you use. love your content

[@ToddAdams1234]

It’s probably EXJ series chain. At least that’s what my Oregon PAPER catalog calls the full skip series that is a 70 series.

[@danbentsen]

You know the value of a wire choker & a snatch block. It would be nice seeing you demo some of your choker skills when firewooding. Seems like most of the woodsters in Midwest or back east just use a big heavy chain, once you learn how many things you can do w/a choker you will never go back to chain.

[@sprucestomper]

Just cut a few weeks worth of wood today, your channel is on fire!

[@Northwoods208]

Ergonomically, a 34" is my favorite bar length hands down. But the chain speed I get with an 8 pin sprocket and a 28" bar makes me feel warm and fuzzy. You're taller than me, I bet you'd like a 34". My boy is also 10 (as you know), he's into bleat calls this year 🤷‍♂️ lol

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Haha all warm and fuzzy yeah I love that my boy is into hunting as much or more than I was when I was a kid

[@Northwoods208]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie that's awesome, idk that my son is as into hunting as I was at his age, but he's definitely a lot more interested than when he was younger. He likes trapping more I think, cuz I'm not on him so much about being quiet 😂

Haha understandable my boys are the same lol I just have to give them a look and they know

[@Northwoods208]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie I leave him be about it when we're trapping, aside from wolfing. Most critters settle down pretty quick, so if I'm not trying to get them in crosshairs, the noise doesn't worry me as much lol

Shalom.

[@foothillsreadiness]

Where do you buy your hunting camo from?

[@boyscoutforlife]

Just got a question for you is your chain a little doll in this video or is it due to the wood already being mostly dry talking about the chippings you getting from the cut Keep the videos up people are going to hate because they cannot be successful when you are being successful

Do you still own the Tacoma? Nice hi boy, reminds me of my 72 Ford dually.

If they broke stuff on your other truck that is their responsibility to fix it and not charge you for it. My mechanic makes it right if he brakes something. I noticed you only have one taillight they don't pull you over for that..

Lol do you, ignore them snowflakes

[@ToddAdams1234]

🎉

[@j.j.clingman4083]

I totally no exactly what you are talking about when running a 32” bar!! And you are how tall?? I’m only 4’10” tall about 110lbs and I run a 24” bar and it just fits me nicely and I can work with out having to bend over or doing a bunch of reaching!!! I’d definitely have to say that the ones out there that do cut wood out there totally understand the difference in bar lengths!!! One thing I can’t remember if I had said anything about the new truck in the last video but I’m definitely not a Ford guy at all and I wouldn’t own one if I even had one given to me and even if it was one of there all mighty raptors you couldn’t give me!!! But I do remember my dad had baught a 1977 or 1978 Ford F-250 high boy with a manual trannys and we drove it to deliver the Sunday paper in the country every Sunday morning about 1:00am until he had to swerve to miss a deer and hit a Colvert and a framed the running gear on the truck!!! If I wouldn’t have been sitting on a big stack of the Sunday paper at the time when dad hit the colvert I would have went out the front window!! But I was so short and loved watching for all the animals every Sunday morning while driving all the gravel roads!! But just imagine a stack of newspapers and a little kid sitting on top of them and as thick as the Sunday papers used to be on Sundays?? And I yell at dad look deer as he swerved to miss the deer thinking he would hurt my feelings if he had hit it and the pile of newspapers go flying forward out from under me and I drop right onto the seat where I would have been sitting if there was no papers at all!!! I was very lucky because also I didn’t wear my seatbelt when I would go on the paper route with dad every Sunday morning!!! I also remember my dad had grabbed the steering wheel so hard that he shaped it like a banana as his head came up and hit the window!! We was out in the middle of no where and had to walk in the cold wet and windy morning almost a mile or longer it seemed to be to the first house we could get to!!! Anyways that was are 1977 or 1978 Ford highboy we used to have!!! I definitely would have another one today but that would definitely be the only one for sure!! The other one my dad got and was supposed to be my very first truck when I was old enough to drive was a 1972 Chevy 3/4ton with a manual transmission also!!! Oh did I love that truck when I first seen dad bring that truck home!! Heck it was almost rusted out just as bad as are 1977 F250 highboy was!!! He told me as soon as I got my drivers license he would give me the keys to the truck and it would be mine!! Well dad had been driving it back and forth to work and on his way home after having the truck for a couple years and dad and I doing a bunch of work on it he was on his way home when some lady desided to pull out in front of dad and he ended up totaling the truck out!! Oh I was so mad!! Lol! But today I own one and it’s a 1972 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 with a manual tranny and a 1969 Chevy front grill instead of the 1971/72 plastic grills!! I’ve had this truck for 25 years now and absolutely love it!!! It got a 421 sbc with AFR aluminum heads on it and just shy of 700hp!! She’s definitely a Ford eater all day every day!! Lol!! I did pull a guy around the block in a Ford and flat spotted all four of his tires on his Ford truck!!! Oh he was not happy but I never did hear him run his mouth about how bad my Chevy was and how good his Ford war and how he could pull every Chevy on the block!! Well I bet him he wouldn’t be able to pull just me let alone all the other Chevy trucks on the street!! Well I’m pretty sure he pissed his wife off also because a week later I had seen his wife at the gas station as I was coming in and she was leaving she said thanks for costing me 1400.00$ I was like I’m sorry mama but maybe you should tell your husband not to be so sure on his bragging of his so tough truck!!! As she stormed off!! Lol!! I do have to say though that if I was to have one Ford it would definitely be a highboy for sure!!! Well buddy awesome video and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!
