It was meant for humorous purposes only. I am getting many comments from people trying to explain to me what woke means. Which I find to be hilarious.

I occasionally will run a Stihl 084 with a 36" bar my dad bought back in '92 after a massive hurricane wrecked Kauai. I had the opportunity to work with an old logger/log home builder who taught me this technique. Over the years, I've been told not to do it because it would send the earth spiraling in to the sun. It's good to see a real pro talk some real sense. Subscribed.

Welding Engineer here, my Books told me long time ago : In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. Once the yield point is passed, some fraction of the deformation will be permanent and non-reversible and is known as plastic deformation. The older you get the more you appreciate the things you learned in your physics lessons back then.

Now you're giving away old logger secrets.😂😂😂 About the only time my dad fiddled with loosening nuts was at the end of the day when he took everything apart. His chainsaw was always kept meticulously clean. He cleaned the pitch off with a rag dipped in kerosene, then wiped it down with a clean rag. My grandpa's did not keep theirs as clean, but both used your method. I grew up seeing this done and never thought anything about it. Didn't know it puts some folks tails in a knot. This was hilarious!😂😂😂

First off, I really enjoy your videos. I appreciate you showing techniques like this that are used by veteran, professional loggers who do this for a living and find shortcuts because time is money. As for myself, I was trained with a chainsaw when I was a Park Ranger, so the procedures I was taught are so ingrained that it's tough not to follow them. Second, I might take more liberties with a government owned chainsaw than I would with one that I paid for. Retired, now I just cut on my own 20 acre woodlot, and I have a Stihl 661c with a 36 inch bar that I'll be making payments on for another year of so. I baby it, I admit it. My point is that much of it depends on how you were taught, and if you can afford to easily repair/replace the equipment.

I always enjoy watching your humble and well informed videos. Unlike so many other logging/chainsaw channels out there, you're 100% transparent and introspective enough to convey an honest message, covering both skepticism and criticism. Too many other guys like to say "this is how it is, there's no other way to do it, and if you disagree you're an idiot." For many things that may be true, but it's not a universal statement. Keep sharing your knowledge, tips and all around good advice. Respectfully from Northern WV 🤟

I like to run my chainsaws a little loose too. Less stress on the clutch. I've only been running a saw for ten years. I never knew how enjoyable it could be before I started. From the occasional storm debris, down blow and firewood it's my favorite hobby and I even make a little money helping neighbors with cutting, task, the occasional felling but the best part is limbing, bucking and splitting with a maul/axe. I sell firewood when I can. It's a great feeling to be able to provide campfire wood or wood that heats people's homes. I live in upstate New York. A 20 inch bar is more than enough on my cutting tasks on my Husqvarna 455 Rancher and 365. God bless you Mr. Wilson and Happy New Year.

I figure you have been doing this for decades, and you can still count to ten without taking your boots off, so I'm happy to take your word that is does the job and doesnt cause any issues with the saw.

I have been running chainsaws since I was 12 years old I own Timber land in Columbia County Oregon I Primarily run the exact saw as you also with a 32 inch bar except I run the regular Stihl Rollomatic ES. I am currently thinning Alders and Building a road through the section of alders on the far side of my property. I can tell you the little suckers that come out of the side of the alders when I am limbing and cutting them I have NEVER had my chain pop off as many times as the last month (As you said always at Low RPM's) is my experience as well. This technique works great on a "regular bar" I as a personal preference do not use gloves and keep my chains overly sharp and I have minorly cut myself 1 out of 10 times hell I average cutting myself about 1 and 4 times I sharpen my chain again your not rolling it on from the sharp side when your working it over the tip I think sometimes people just have to argue. A friend of mine that spent 45 years contract cutting in Oregon showed me how to put the chain back on like you did in your video. It is as you said Guys that make their living in the woods and get paid by production do what they have to do to get the job done. I enjoy your videos!

Great tips and thank you for showing people the slow and precise way of doing it. I use some long bars including a 6’ bar for my Alaska mill. I have used the “non-woke” way of resetting a chain, and I’m always cringing inside wondering if I bent it to far:) stay safe folks.

Good to know! We only have a 16" bar (battery operated Husqvarna). Getting to old to weild anything much bigger. But if we get one with a longer bar I'll definitely give it a whirl.

Thanks for the tip! Up until I bought my ms 462 all my saws had 20" or shorter bars and I never would have tried it with those. This could save me a lot of walking on my property. I often get blow downs and depending on the time of year I often can't take the tractor on the trails without tearing them up so tend to just have what I can carry and sometimes it's just the saw.

It may not be, but right now I think that automatic dubbing is to fulfill my request. Regarding the video controversy, here in Brazil we have a saying, which I don't know how it will sound in English. It goes like this: "In practice, theory is different." 😂

@lxportugal9343 eu pedi ao Wilson, em um comentário em outro vídeo, que incluísse a opção de dublagem automática e ele me respondeu que iria tentar fazer isso. Ainda não domino o inglês o suficiente para assistir os vídeos sem legenda ou dublagem. Sobre o sotaque brasileiro, estamos empatados. Temos tantas piadas "de português" que ao ouvir o "sotaque de Portugal" já esperamos pela piada.

There's a saying found on posters in physics labs across the US, "In theory, everything works and no one knows why. In practice, nothing works and everyone knows why. In this lab, we combine theory and practice, nothing works and nobody knows why."

I would inspect the drive links after a chain throwing incident. I threw a 28” Husqvarna branded Oregon chain from a Dolmar 7900 this past year and it destroyed about a half dozen drivers in a row as well as burring many others. I could not reuse it. 👍

It would be lovely if you could do a dedicated video about the douglas fir and how you manage it on your property and what to look out for. We have planted a few dozen acres of it 15 years ago and it is quickly gaining popularity in my region but knowledge is quite limited . Best of wishes from europe!

Now that I think about it, maybe I haven't done any videos specifically about Douglas fir. Just bits of it scattered in videos. I think you are right, it deserves a dedicated one. I will put it on the list.
