Cutting Firewood With a New Brand of Saw Chain!!!

[@rolandpinette9946]

Hi, David. I really enjoyed this one, as I have all your videos in the last few weeks. Others seem to be liking them as well. Views are up. Subs have exploded. Your channel is growing fast! I believe that avoiding drama and focusing on positive things is making a difference. You work hard to provide a good home for your family, David. I would like to see your channel get to the point where it is providing revenue that makes a real difference for your family. I am optimistic that the recent adjustments you made will help get you there! Keep up the great work. You've got a good thing going on here, David.

[@mikecook2714]

I'm digging your channel David, Thank you for your efforts !

[@tomriblett2979]

Bought 3 of those chains for fire wood cutting Still using them. Sharpen easy and get the job done on the dead and down ash wood I have been cutting. Good video.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Another good one David! Hope your back gets better. Nothing worse than a stiff sore back when there’s tons of things to do. See ya on the next one👊🏻

[@markphillips5724]

You're a buckin splitin machine. Love your vids bro. Stay Blessed.

Thanks mark I do love my job!

[@mrice2488]

Great video! Take care of your back. Sure didn't seem to slow you down. Keep on keeping on.

[@pappys-tinkering]

I've been using 8ten belts and pulleys on my yard tractor so far every thing has been really good.

[@johnmorse5617]

👋 Hey David how ya doin . The new saw chain ⛓ looks like a good Idea. Thay sure know how to charge for stuff. Be safe , that 390 sounds strong 💪 . Love Wins.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks John! I put a good filing on that chain last night and took it down to .035 on the rakers we will see how she cuts today

[@nebraskawoodstr]

Good stuff David. Lots of great info. Take care.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks mike! I need to catch up on ur videos I think the last one I was able to sit down and watch was the end of summer party! 😳🥃 take care brother

[@LumberjackSmokestack]

Hope your back gets to feeling better soon.

[@kellyhamel4302]

Thanks for showing us new products that is a great deal on saw chain wow! I always bring my rock rake it makes cleaning up so much easier. Bummer about Brother Rich's truck, hopefully he makes it next time. I add some side racks on my big racks to wrap my cables and chockers around, and carry my chains in old ammo cans. David you and that Fiskars make a deadly team, nice splitting. I cut some today myself and ouch I am out of shape,lol. Stay safe out there buddy!

[@307j.o.a.t9]

Love the ol ford! Cool truck. I got a roll of Archer a yr and a half ago. Its pretty good for the price. Like ya say nothins great out of the box but it sharpens nice for me and holds an edge fairly well. STAY SAFE!!

[@bigDH123]

Hello David, I don't comment much but I though I should let you know how much I enjoy your videos, I watch them all. The area you live in is beautiful. All the best to you and Kelsie. See you on the next one, all the best from north west Alberta.

Thanks my friend it’s greatly appreciated take care and stay warm!

Thanks David for the review I have some of their stuff and it seems to be okay, of course I don’t cut everyday. Sure enjoy your cutting and splitting videos

[@Geoff321]

Your a hard working man. Keep up the great videos

[@dsmith3239]

Great videos. I was actually wondering myself about those saw chains on Amazon. Good to see you try them and give your opinion. Must be a good suspension on your truck. I believe you had cut dead standing tamarack. It must be good and dry to have a cord on the truck. Around here, we refer to tamarack as juniper. Unless it is real dry, it is like lead and you would not risk any more than 1/2 cord at a time on any pick-up truck. Good to see you out there. Keep up the videos.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah everything I cut is standing dead and has been since a bad wildfire in 2015… this old truck has a good stack of ribs under the rear end lol more than my 1 ton has

[@stevecox3068]

In indian country we all have many brothers, and uncles, aunties, sisters! Good stuff cuz!!

[@scottwilson4019]

Can you do a video on how to pick which tree to cut for firewood? It seems like you pass alot of trees on your way to where you decide to cut. I only usually cut wood for hunting camp. And have a hard time picking wood that ready to burn right away. Thank You for your videos.

[@ChrisLascari]

I'm a teuck driver, if I see a driver that beeds help I'm going to help him, even though he works for a different company doesn't make him any less human...

[@donflack3778]

Enjoyed the video! You are a hard worked. You need to rest your back. 😉

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Glad to hear about those chains. I might have to try one. The only chain I have used that's pretty sharp out of the box is a Husqvarna c83.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

We will know more today I put a good filing on it last night

[@arneservatius1982]

As a young man I cut and split hardwoods. Applewood is excellent for smoking fish. Michigan

[@noel3065]

Wow I can't believe the price difference in chains you have to pay, here in Pa. I pay 25 dollars for my 28" 21 dollars for my 24" and 16.50 for my 20". I tried one of those chains and I also thought it got dull faster, maybe just me. Those people that think the newer echo chainsaws are just as good for your type of tree felling are the same people that think a stihl ms 180 is a professional saw for felling your trees. have a good one.

[@brandong6242]

Can relate to the aches and pains. After doing more firewood sales than ever before this year, my elbows were absolutely wrecked. Did some research and learned I had developed “golf” elbow. Have you ever dealt with this issue?

[@kevinmason3086]

hardwood usually takes between a year to two to three years depends on what you are cutting up. Oak in locust takes 2 to 3 years to dry.

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

Sorry to hear about your back I can relate. Glad you got out for a stretch. Stay safe out there brutha ❤️‍🔥🧬🦾🪓

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks bud yeah if I stayed home it would just get worse lol if I keep moving and cutting it’s easier to work the kinks out imho

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie agreed I find the older I get the less I can sit around. Hey could you show a profile picture of that chain ? I just ordered a neotech 24” 063 it was $23 to try. I like the holtz/ Farmertec chain it’s lasted me a good wile.

[@G.A.gigger]

Thanks for sharing your time in woods with us ...I appreciate it . That firewood splits pretty nice eh, and sounds pretty darn dry. What kind of splitting axe are you using ? Being an old shakeblocker I just always have used my 4.5 lb arvikas..not the best splitting profile for firewood. Hi from British Columbia.

[@jasentonguepowersaws4206]

That 441 definitely sounds like it’s sipping air, tune low then go up the mountain it should end up richer. Quick vacuum and pressure test would find it fast. In my experience it’s typically the pto side crank seal that starts to leak first on the 441’s. Little carb cleaner can help ya find that air leak. Nice seeing local guy cutting. Enjoying the content

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks jasen! What do u mean local? Where are you located?

[@jasentonguepowersaws4206]

I’m just north of deer park. By local I mean ne wa Your cutting area looks very familiar

Hey David I’m pretty sure that you have said it before but I couldn’t remember what you said that you cut your logs for length??? Could you let us know again what length that you end up marking your logs at to cut them or witch video that you said that information in?? I no I had seen one video that you had said it in I just couldn’t remember and couldn’t find witch video you had talked about it in?? Awesome video buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

[@timberslasher4899]

I ran some 8ten chain and it was okay but I like the Archer a little better. That being said I couldn't find the 8ten in skip and I did find Archer in skip and I prefer the skip 2 to 1

[@gregmartin3004]

Hello love the videos. Would you please make a video on how you make your spouts out of A&w root beer bottles, I have the same can that needs new spouts.

[@johniedavis9150]

Yup! I paid $52 in auburn a few months ago for a 28” full skip square ground chain

[@northcountrytrapper]

Thanks for the videos! Wondering if you ever use the chainsaw winches to retrieve trees/logs off the road?

[@poboy8490]

Damn, man. I didn't even realize you were doing a live stream lastnight. Do you use Instagram or anything? It would have been cool to meet your little bro on the channel. What could be better than sipping hot coffee, cruising an old highboy out into the snow-covered mountains to harvest some firewood with a good homie? Take it easy on your back, man. Maybe sell some merch to fund a trip to the chiropractor. There are some cool chiropractor channels here on KZbin where they use a "y-strap" to decompress the spine. Looks like it'd feel amazing. Thanks for sharing a corner of your life with us. It's inspiring. When I saw you explaining what your favorite work gloves are, I heard Skynard's 'Simple Man' start playing in my head 🤘😂 go rest your back. Looking forward to the next one

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Oh a couple other questions for you!!! One is how much wood do you have your truck setup to haul in a load and second what do you have on the end of your cable that you use to pull logs onto the road to cut??? And third what length of logs do you cut or how long is your marking stick that you use fro marking the logs that you cut??? Thanks for the info and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

I will try to touch on those questions tomorrow bud

[@kirkchatwin6160]

Damn wish we had snow here so could cut straight through 👍, what type of chain is this ? Semi chisel, full chisel, skip tooth ?

[@glenspryszak6005]

A lot of those chains are Chinese made and come from a softer steel, so they are prone to faster wear and stretch.... Always touch them up before first use and keep the file on hand when in the field...

[@ndnfirewood4666]

Good stuff again Mr. David! Is your cable 3/16?

Thank you! And you know I don’t recall one of my friends gave it to me lol it use to be about 50’ but I broke it down yarding out monster trees haha

How wide do u cut the firewood cause I use my 18 inch bar on my stihl ms211c to cut firewood and I sell a cord for $250 that is me using a wood splitter also and delivering and stacking the wood for my customers

How goes it bud? I informally met your uncle yesterday (on the cb). I passed him on the highway, and I was like hey I know that name lol It's only cuz the 441 says Stihl on it 😜 Is the chain spinning to match the high idle? Cuz it could just be a clutch spring or two, that'll do that just like an air/vacuum leak will

[@24copeland]

Dang. I thought chains were sharp out of the box. I’m new to cutting firewood. Guess I need more practice sharpening.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

A good bench vice does wonders my friend just remember to be steady and smooth when filing don’t push too hard… once you get the hang of it you can add a little pressure… use good files such as Oregon and preferd files they cut good and last a bit longer

[@Northwoods208]

Stihl chain is the only factory edge I've found that's usable out of the box, but it still leaves a lot to be desired, unless I'm in a serious pinch, I grind them all before I run them. I also don't often cut firewood, so I'm not encountering dirt and rocks on the regular, if I were I'd probably switch up everything I know and learn how to round file

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

@@Northwoods208 stihl chain is by far my favorite! Yeah round file is the best for firewood… I’ve gone back and fourth and I can’t find anything that will beat it…

[@Northwoods208]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie I understand how a round tooth works, and totally understand why it's a better firewood chain, I just don't have any experience with it. I can't even square file as good as I used to, grinders made me lazy lol
