Tips for Clearing Trees and Brush Alone | ON Three

[@chris1638]

“Find the opportunities to make the world a better place”. Well said Jason. Those are words to truly reflect on.

[@MG-uu2lb]

What a wonderful spirit you are.

[@dragonslayer7587]

From clearing this "road" to the knife, everything you do is done well. Contemplating life is why working alone is so good for your soul. However, don't leave out the Lord. Remember, our entire life on earth, as well as our Life Eternal, is dependant on that relationship.

[@ragingreek]

He quoted Jesus by saying we should try to do something for someone else. Putting others before yourself.

[@ONThree]

Thanks. Agreed.

[@TheWilddawg1]

Same work that I do and most of the time it’s just me and God.I can appreciate your views on how we make this a better world because as Christians that is exactly what God calls us to do.

[@alexandreroma8118]

Something I was taught more times that I can count and have to keep reminding myself, and that I think is very pertinent when it comes to doing tasks alone (especially with higher risks) is: Think twice, do it once. Many times have I just gone into a job even one I have done before and made an error because I did not remember those wise words: Think twice, do it once. "Oh I've done this a million times... and there goes a body part!" Complacency is one of the biggest dangers in a dangerous job.

[@davebloggs]

I do the same thing I clear and maintain trails not because i have to but because I want to and that is a huge difference. and its very rewarding.

[@jamesdanaher3041]

the peae of working alone can be a wonderfull thing ,thanks for sharing ...love that work there

[@jerryodell1168]

Packing extra chainsaw chains is always a good idea. Years ago we always went out with 4 chains in addition to the ones on our saws. Dad usually did the sharpening with a fairly precise chainsaw grinder that He had. This kept us busy during the cutting season during the colder months when there were few bugs, ticks, and the snakes. While on vacation from college or on weekends, I would cut mostly dead or trash wood and tops which was usually good firewood while others cut logs. The management of the woods kept it healthy, and it is a wonderful place to this day.

I'm one that like doing jobs that have a visual result. Nothing better that seeing the fruits of your labours, Great Clip Jason. I'm always keen to see slightly off topic clips. 😁

I was a Park Ranger in Maryland for 26 years, retired in 1996 from there at age 50, then became a Deputy Sheriff for 16 years. But I missed the outside work in the woods and the smell of the corn growing in the summer evenings. I like the looks of the knife, been a knife freak since a young kid. Next video provide a link, interested.

[@chriskeating5926]

Any chainsaw work by yourself , you should at minimum be wearing chaps and have 2 tourniquets on your belt , all the time! Hard hat is a great idea , can save you from a kickback , I've been doing tree work for years ... good video, just want you to take some precautions for yourself, don't want you to get hurt from something preventable! Cheers 🍻 🤙👍

Good call.

The quick flo spouts from tractor supply I have found are well worth the money when I buy a new tanks. Saves a ton of frustration from using the new tanks

[@rockordnance]

I am a knife freak! I really like that knife. Kydex sheaths are great. Nothing better and reassuring than a solid snap to let you know your favorite knife isn't going anywhere. I also think the size and sheath are perfect for wearing in the horizontal position on the belt. Keeps it handy, comfortable and inconspicuous. Really nice size as well. Looks like you'll get a solid purchase with enough blade to do some solid work. Please let us know when it will be available.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

It is available now from Bear Forest Knives.

[@christiandost3898]

ah and the knife (and sheath) looks awsome! Good job.

[@TJackSurvival]

Something zen about that kind of work

[@00Klingon]

I love that knife! I used to think you needed a big knife for survival, and for splitting wood, they are nice. But I’ve learned a small knife can do if you will do. And a knife like that will do a surprising number of things very well.

[@JamesWilliams-ow2lo]

I hate the new cans

[@Cetok01]

My own personal mantra has been to leave a place/job/situation a bit better than I found it. Doesn't always work, but I keep trying. The knife is cute and handy, but I'd prefer at least a minimal choil or swell for some safety (so you don't need that tourniquet in your pocket).

[@Cetok01]

@@SurvivalDispatch I carry mine in an ankle holster-style trauma kit.

[@born2fish1976]

Knife is excellent

[@krisbohn4118]

I agree on the gas cans.

[@Done293]

Finally someone else with plb. To me your not very remote at all if you can reach your site by driving a tractor but if you ran that saw into your leg your locator beacon might be the thing that saves you. Just saying I have a much different definition of remote . For us personal locator beacons are a must

[@kaarlis01]

Great content friend!! :)

[@TressaZimmerman]

Being safe is very important.

[@phillipnunya6793]

I don't have a lot of experience with pukko style knives, but I don't like the lack anything to keep my fingers off of the knife. Maybe add a bit of a groove on top and bottom as well.

[@ArkansasLivin]

Yeah man I'm waiting on the release of the knife. Them are pawpaws ain't they? Good show.

[@DTA-me3kv]

Wicked lil knife 🔪

[@TressaZimmerman]

That would be a great neck knife for sure. Yes sir

[@thesurvivalistfarmer]

Knife shape is too easy to slip hand to blade.

[@jordanwilson383]

Nice knife!

[@ecospider5]

For trees of that size I would use a 20v sawzall with a pruning blade. It is a tiny bit slower but you don’t have the on-site maintenance to deal with so in the end is the same speed and it’s not possible to cut your leg open. Much larger than 8” logs and a chainsaw really starts making sense.

[@TangoOscarMikeN3WS]

I've still have tons of clean up to do since damaging ice storm we had. The mud isn't helping. I forgot my first aid kit last time so, I'm going to start carrying my tourniquet in my pocket or waist pack. Something that won't get in the way. I like the knife. I'd consider making the holes standard distance apart so you can use other clips like a tek-lock. It would just make it more versatile and molle compatible.

[@ONThree]

The sheath is tek-lock compatible. Thanks!

[@jeffslaven]

There's a lot to be said for a good working machete. I prefer the tramontina 18" myself.

[@VisionWords]

The knife looks great! I'm a big fan of that size for a fixed blade. I currently EDC an Esee Izula, which is similar in size. I do prefer screwed-on handle scales for ease of maintenance or replacement, but the pins are probably smoother for ergonomics. I love the sheath, though!

[@Doobie603]

Sharpening my chainsaw on my tailgate is my "break" logging LOL

[@robertbates6057]

Rhodedendron. Probably Catawba. What model Kubota is that? I have one almost identical.

[@adventureswithdaylan7161]

The knife looks great however it could use a small guard to protect your hand from the blade. That would be my only suggestion. I really enjoy your channel keep up the good work and God bless

[@douglasschuette5467]

[@markratliff1407]

Hey Jason, are u in southeast Virginia? Location? Just curious, your terrain looks like where I live.

[@prime-rib]

Especially as I fatigue, I actively check where I've placed my feet to make double-sure that I'm not about to do something stupid. Whatever model of Stihl you're interested in, pay the extra money for the "pro" model. The lighter weight is worth the money if you have lots of work to do. My suggestion for the knife is to add a little something to prevent the finger from sliding over the blade.

[@ecospider5]

For logs under 8” like this I really like a 20v sawzall with a pruning blade. It is just as fast and way safer.

[@matthewellisor5835]

I'm watching on a phone and I'm no horticulturist anyway but adding your area and the look of the creek and rocks, it looks like rhododendron.

[@ktroyn]

Jason, since you started talking about kydex sheaths, I followed your and Alan's recommendation on a survival kukuri. I ordered the exact same kukuri from Knives By Hand and pretty much followed the bluing process and other touches. However, while practicing putting the knife in the sheath, I split the sheath at the back. In the video on that knife Alan mentioned you could get a kydex sheath made. I think I would rather have a kydex sheath as that would be lighter and also allow me to carry it horizontally OR vertically. Could you recommend a place or someone for me to contact to have one made?

[@chris1638]

I know that Jason recommends Matt Tate and I believe that he mentioned someone else in the past.
