Very impressive. I'm 56 and I love working in timber. In the 1930's my dad, and his brothers and their dad, made cross ties for the railroad with a hand powered cross cut saw and a broad axe. I still have the tools. He got 7 to 10 cents for each one. He is 91 and very healthy. His dad lived to be 102. I hope that I live to be 1/2 the man that they were. I wish a lot of people that think they work hard for a living could see this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Also thanks for not being scared to work. You are a fine example to others. I believe God admires hard workers. Peace

Nice work AR. Those trailer tires are never going to pass safety inspection here in the states. Kidding! Feeling a little stiffness in the lower back after watching that. I remedy that by riding my mountain bike on cool trails like you have in your shot. Someday I hope to see your beautiful country.

dude your channel is so awesome with the off grid stuff

Excellent video, thanks for taking your time too share this with us!

So cool man. Thanks for capturing it.

Hey just wanted to say thank you for the great tips! Vegie oil and the shape of the teeth I would have never thought of that, I cut my slabs six quarter then resaw on a band saw. Thanks again from the western US BTW I love Canada I spent many a winter up there in the true Hockey Country!

You have a beautiful country, brother. I enjoy your videos. My grandfather was a lumber-jack in northern Michigan.

Great job and a great video too. Good tip about rolling the log with the rope.

God bless you man ...you got some serious skills....that was awesome

If I was a wood cutter, I would plant 4 trees in place of cutting 1 tree

This video was so satisfing and amazing. Great job bud. Respect.

Man I don't know why but this is the ASMR I didn't knew I needed 😂😂👌👌

Such a great video, thanks for taking the time to show the whole process!!

hands own, the BEST vid I've seen on youtube in 2015... I've never seen that done before... I'm beyond impressed, well done!

Nice setup. Especially like the guide rails for your mill, I've been using ladders but your system is simple and practical

Buddy, that is one sweet set up!!

Excellent well made video!!! Thanks! I'm anxious to go work on my wood land!!

Very impressive! You sure know what you're doing!

Your videos help me, good video, and thats worthy of respect! Good job man!

Really great work, very nice cuts, thanks for uploading.

Nice video from start to finish. I gave it a 'thumbs-up' and added it to my favorites list.

Thats a good clean stump. Not bad. I miss the bush. Its a very enjoyable job. Theres always something new to learn. Even when you think you know it all something will happen and youll be like damn, didnt see that coming. The bush is great like that

I like those brackets and extruded rails for your guide. I might have to make something similar.

like the video. helped me to figure out how I am going to cut a large pine tree we cut down. the mill guide is my best option, after thinking could do the job without one. didn't work well . Thanks for help.

Nice work brother ..take care

I like your slabbing rails. I need to get some as I'm using a ladder for the first cut now. I lived in Monterey for 35 years- they do grow like weeds. They were even used for hardwood flooring back in the day. You probably know this by now but a chain sharpened at 10-11 degrees works better for slabbing or ripping. Your country looks a lot like the Sierra Foothills- Enjoy!

Nice job shooting and cutting! Great edit as well.

22re? I had a 90’ for 5 years. I miss that sound. Best damn truck I ever had. This is awesome man. I’m gonna deff keep watching more of your videos, you have a wealth of knowledge and obviously experience. I plan on starting my own off grid project as I have always had an interest in self reliance, I’ve been too busy living life up until becoming a father and husband, looking around at the world, I see it is clearly time to become fully self reliant. I’ve been looking for more people who want to share their knowledge and help people learn real skills, so thank you for sharing all of your hard work and talent with us!

It takes about 10-15 minutes to make 1 slab, the saw teeth need to be sharp or it would take all day. If the log is facing downhill it doesn't take much effort to push the saw, the saw pulls itself into the cut to a certain extent. It is ideal for breaking down trees in hard to get to places, but I wouldn't want to do it every day, lifting those slabs is hard work. I would have used about 10 litres of fuel to do that 1 log so it is quite cost effective.

Hard work and what I like is the way he works smart. Well done !!!

great to see it done this way keep up the good work

thanks for sharing this man. nice work. very awesome mill, portable as they come.

Timber..... ,looks awesome:)

Such a great hobby I love this stuff

Helpful and informative video of how to process NZ plantation pine in a plantation forest. You've done it with light gear that probably won't bankrupt any small plantation grower. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. :)

this video is awesome. good editing, kept it short but didn't leave too much out.

You living the dream out there man.

Nice work bro !

Whew now that's mans work! Legendary man just legendary.

I've been around a lot of saws and lots of tree cutting. NEVER seen this, this is a great tool to have. Imagine all you can create with this alone..

kick ass good work i need one of them

Great vid mate! I was doing the exact same scenario in Qld, northwest of Brisbane around 26 years ago. I had the same mill frame (alaskin) and a stihl 086? Was around 112 cc with a four foot bar. Paid $1000 for at the time. Felling pine for slabs. Cheers!

amazing all the work you get done with Angry Ram around.

Cool ass video. Great job. You looked confident and competent. Badass bro.

Awesome skills there Bro! Bumped into a whole bunch of Kiwis living in Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest NSW years ago, and most of them were from Nelson. The AMP owners couldn't find any locals to cut out the pine so heaps of the boys and their families ended up there. Used to have their quota cut and sitting in the Tea Gardens Hotel by lunchtime! Hangi at someone's place every Saturday.

great video , id love to get one of those gadgets for on my saw , thanks for sharing an regards from scotland ..

Very clever! I am going to show my bud this one, take more please!

Well done ! I never like to work alone in the woods .

Nice work, I can see that you were taught well. Righteous harvest!

That's awesome man... all those guitars xD

Excelente trabajo. Saludos from Chile!

I like that video because It told the steppes of cutting down a tree.

One cannot begin to appreciate the amount of work you put in to get those slabs unless they have done it for themselves, after a day of this all I want to do is drink a beer and go to bed.

Hats off to you my man. I think this is really something to see. A man that knows how to do something like this and owns a piece of land like this. I can think of about a million 25 to 35 year olds out there that could benefit from learning something skills like these. Very impressive indeed. First time seeing any of your videos or anything like this tool being used.. I just fell a tree about 2 weeks ago out of necessity for a neighbor and what a sense of satisfaction doing it myself instead of hiring a tree cutter until I seen this ambitious one man job you completed. LoL I shack your hand if I seen you.

Amazing technology, v.very impressive good work keep it up.

I gotta say you are smart and got some big balls good job

Yea, Thanks. I have drool in my keyboard thinking of what I could do with those planks !!!!

When wranglerstar grows up he wants to be this guy

beautiful wood. amazing method.

good work man! nice set up.

Ahh came for the Rambro..stayed for the old school knowledge

How long would that have to dry naturally before you could use it for something? Great work by the way!

Dude! Doin' hard work!

That is really cool man!

The modification tools, do they available for sale ?

Man, nice little set up, also wish we could have diesel Toyotas in America. Sweet ride!

Good film cheers mate & a nice bit of timber

nice good video. always was looking for one like this. It shows good hard and smart job. interesting to woch.

Beautiful boards,

Awesome video, is this what do for a living? It seems very professional from start to finish. After I realized where that pine tree fell, I paused the video and asked myself what is the safest way to go about next. I was very impressed from that moment on, I work a lone in my garage and sometimes these big projects are a pain to move around and so I can somewhat relate to how challenging it can get. Keep up the good work.

One man job- i like it...glad you do stuff not just talk about it. Cheers

That's a great little truck, nice size for a road like that.

bad ass video !!!!!! well done !!!

WOW! such a property and skills you got there! I envy you for having both :-)

Great video...I'd like to do that someday...a nice big bench to hold my mother-in-law!!!

Gawd, that seems slow going, but you got some nice planks out of it. I hope that your deck project has/will soon start to materialize. My condolences to Rambro.🐏🥇🥊RIP

I can't be the only person who kept expecting to see Rambro ambush you, whenever the chainsaw wasn't running.....

isn't it funny how some decent video editing skills can make all the difference in the world? not to take away from your hard work here at all. but there are a lot of other guys on here who spend too much time talking and shaking their camera at a tree and turn their audience off. well done on all accounts! better than I could do

I envy your opportunity to do that physical work. I injured my back and that work is now behind me, unfortunately. Nothing like working with wood. Hard work, but rewarding!

Thats a sweet setup!

Thumbs up..some hard labor..missing from the young ones this generation

On this tree I used a 1 metre blade which was only just wide enough, I also have a 80 cm for smaller logs. Thanks for watching

It looks like you know what you're doing : ) Sick!

Amazing skill!!! Super cool

Nice movie, thanks

Love your rails! Is that your design? I was going to use an extension ladder, but i like that idea better.

Awesome video bro

Nice work and nice video!!

Buddy, now that's a days work!

2:38 Yikes. I held my breath thinking the log might roll down the hill taking the truck with it.

Wow didn't there where pine trees that big here in nelson Good to see a video from my town

Nice video man

great job man!..can i ask a detail constructing your chainsaw attachment?great help for us, as chainsaw enthusiast..

3:00 Don't look now, but there's a tree sneaking up behind you...

VERY COOL!! That's a LOT of work!!

Awesome Thank you from the UK

did you just make your own rail/guide system,, I like yours vs what ive seen on market

Those are some thick boards! How long do you let them cure?

Love the video, Nicely done. I want that little diesel Toyota!

That was vey cool, great looking video, Thanks.
