This is the best thing since 80's Saturday morning cartoons

It’s fun to watch people do what they do for a living. Especially when it involves wood!! Thanks Mr. Chris.

That's dedication to go back to reshoot the footage of this job after it was lost.

Mind blowing how quick those machines make trees into littler trees. Thanks for sharing Chris.👍🏻👍🏻GNI

If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was watching this in Maine. HA! Always amazing to watch the skill of these folks, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for mentioning about the wolf problem lots more people need to speak up. 👍👍

Its amazing how these machines have evolved to help tge wood industry! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

Nice video took few setting to get it done. They brought back the wolves in the salmon area and Yellowstone. The ranchers spent 100 year trying to get ride them. Don’t see many elk deer like when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing.

Ruffed Grouse’s best friend! Wildlife habitat being created right before your eyes!

Good morning all! I woke up to another half a foot of snow today. I'm over it, winter needs to be done.

Chris, thanks for driving back up there to get this on video(again)

Reminds me of a time someone set the thing to 16" and just started filling a trailer. With the 3/4" saw curf, he had almost as much sawdust as wood. With 200hp or so, that thing filled the trailer right now!!

Impressive machines & operators. Great video !

G’morning Chris. Sweet to see the carnàge on a bigger scale. Cool to hear straight from the operators. Nice job. GoodNightIrene

It's neat to me to see how one region of the US logs and how short they are. Here in Washington state, you see log trucks with full lingh logs.. thank you for taking us along 😁 👍

LOVE YOUR CLOSING COMMENT!! I could go on and on about our wolf problem here in the north woods of Wisconsin. It's been getting bad the last 4-5 years. Now they're moving in our high-end whitetail counties. GREAT CLIP!! - THANKS!

Watched from start to finish. Trying to pick up some tricks haha

There was a operation similar on Willow Road north of Tripoli that drive past it on the way to our cabin. Nice work filming. Super cool!

Great content with excellent operator skills displayed.

That’s such a smooth operation !

Good Saturday morning Chris! Great way to start the day with some hard work thanks for the video today...

Neat video. Funny how, while watching, it looks exactly like my grouse hunting spot.

Thanks for this one Chris! Great vid for the morn coffee! Definitely quite an operation and neat to watch along with you! Thanks for taking us on the road trip with ya! Love your channel! 💯👍. See ya tomorrow! Andrew from NB :)

Great crew! Terry is a good man looks like the boys take after dad, best wishes, from panda.

As a logger from western WI, there is still plenty of deer/turkeys within the Highway 29 to HWY 10 area. There may be a few wolfs down here.

Looked at video length and thought "This is more than one sitting" video ends and think " Gotta watch again" Great video, more please...

that was a great segment. logging has sure come a long way since the early 60's when i helped my uncles in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY during the summer. Then it was a chainsaw, a horse to skid with and a log truck to bring the logs out of the header. That equipment is awesome.....and i'm sure expensive. appreciate you doing this one. it was nice to see this operation.....my first thought was there's gonna be some deer in here eating the tops...too bad.

I watched the whole thing. It's amazing.

The lad on the lorry grab knows what he’s doing 👍🏻

The Maintenance , upkeep cost on that machine must be phenomenal! I bet that thing has to work 6 days a week to pay for itself??

The time and effort to save the last and smallest piece of every log trumps the whole rest of the tree! Glad they are able to use it but sure alot of wear and tear to get the last one! Thanks for letting us come watch again this winter. Always fascinating to see!👍 Sorry about the self inflicted wolf issues...😢 In my area. We are on the complete opposite side of things. The deer are so thick we can't get new trees we are planting to grow. Maybe you could could ship a couple dozen spayed/neutered wolves down here and by the time they die off. Hopefully, our deer herds would be in better balance.

The sweet sweet melody (and smell) of pre emissions equipment. #thanksObama

When I was hauling pulpwood near Black River Falls, one of the cutting crews demod a new Ponse processor on a big flat clear cut. They cut over 300 cords in a normal day. That was an awesome machine with a price tag around half a million. That was in 2015, hate to guess what it is now.

All logs go to the wood yard.. have a good one wood dude. Take care. Be safe out there. ✌️

Hi Chris!!😀😀 Great video!! I really miss being able to be out there working. Thanks buddy!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

It is so much fun watching big boy toys. I would want to try working with the log loader. He's dressed warm but I wonder if he has a heater.

👍 Always fun to watch the big dogs eat

my dad used to work in the big red woods for a while nice to see the operation going. GNI

Over by me, 80 miles west of Kenny the deer are more plentiful due to our earn a buck season. If you shoot a wolf you earn a buck tag. It has been very successful but it is somewhat clandestine. Also we have more ag land. Great video!

A little bit different equipment compared to the loggers of the early days of Wisconsin. Neat stuff, thanks Chris. The storm went East of us, got a half inch of rain.

Good Morning Woodhounds!! 2 pots tday!!

Chris, this was worth filming twice. The coverage was like watching a National Geographic Special. Wonder if Logger Al was able to use automation. Lots of moving parts. Last night's storm had a tornado less than 30 miles from us. Lots of wind, rain, thunder, and a lightning strike less than a quarter of a mile away. Thank You for taking us on a Field Trip.

Chris do you know what was doing to be developed there and what in the world happens to the stumps. Those poplar trees will grow right out of the root system and in 5 years there will be a million trees all 4 inches in diameter lol. Have a great day. Stay safe with all your crazy weather this weekend

Great video Chris

You can come visit my logging operation anytime! I’m in LP northern Michigan 👍🏻 Love your videos keep up great work.

Conifers don't regenerate from stump sprouts. If they cut them all out they wouldn't reseed the clearcut area, conifers would have to reseed from the boundary inwards which would takes a 50 plus yrs to do.. It's a state job so coppicing the maple and aspen will allow the forest to start over again thru stump sprouts and aspen root shoots with the full sunlight. In 3 yrs the clearcut will be so thick with regen u wouldn't even want to walk thru it. Lots of good habitat for grouse rabbits and deer in the coming yrs. Forestry Management at its best . Now the dnr just needs to listen to the people in northern Wisconsin and open up a regulated wolf season again but the feds put them on the endangered list Feb 10/2022

These guys are good! Sounds like it's time for open season on the wolf population to get the numbers down. GNI

Big teeth in those chain saws. That’s a lot a wood. Quite the machines.

I remember back in the 80s and early 9os we would go up to Dunbar Penbine area in the cut offs there were hundreds of deer yarding up the eating all the tops not no more so sad .

Those log truck drivers must be freezing up in that seat up in the wind.

You need to buy those boys a trip to Disney....then park your processor right next to that BIG stack!!!

That's wood,wood and wood ❤

Big toys for the big boys. Same thing happens here in northern Maine with the deer and such. My father spent lot of time up in the northern woods back when he was a wild man, but that’s a story for another day.

WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE

Our land was cut with a Cat 501HD and 2 Ponsee Ergos. I was like a kid in a candy store watching them work.

That was a very enjoyable show tday Chris.... I have friends who live east of Jellystone NP..... the Big bad W has done a lot of livestock damage and Mule deer and Elk are being eliminated if not already... The Moose and Buffalo wont be far behind. There is only 1 predator introduced and it wasn't the grizz.... and nobody can figure out why the locals are upset

the cat log loading truck is the bees knees has heat to the tractor trailor log loader truck guy has no cab or heat i think hes getting short changed great vid thank you

Nice to see them in the hardwood

At 640 acres/ square mile that ciphers 😂 out to about 4.7 square miles.

NICE VIDEO

Amazing

Good morning 😊

Chris better get those cookies from the log truck. Free wood.

What’s with the one single tree left standing in the middle of that clear cut? GNI👍

Took a while to finish but got her done ! Nice .

It's environmentally kosher; each tree get's a hug before decapitation. LMAO good video!

Weather Guessers say winds from 10 to 60 mph.... all day here in central Ohio.... no sunshine and flooding from the rain!! Ohio weather is special!! I bet Kenny up northern Wisconsin is gettin hammered with snow!!

Wow. He could even pick out a branch.

Have we ever seen this much hydraulic oil flowing though pipes and hoses like in this episode on your channel yet?

Hi, I just cut down a sequoia Oaktree in central California, everything is cut 18" or less and the trunk was 4 feet diameter and I split a 1/4 of it with a manual hydraulic Log splitter, biggest diameter I was able to split was 16" and I stacked it on pallets. I don't burn wood to heat my house so this wood is going to last me probably 10 years plus for camping. Should I split everything or is it best to keep the rest in whole logs so they won't over dry by the time I get around to using them. Will I be able to split this Oak once it completely dries out? Is it easier to split wet oak logs or dry oak logs, keep in mind I have a 10 ton manual hydraulic log splitter Harbor freight. Thanks for your help.

Good job guys you guys do a very good job very nice and clean and everything got a question for you you ain't got any property up there if you want to sell do you kind of cheap I'm looking for like about 2 3 acres I don't care if it's all been treated out or not let me know please I really appreciate you thank you sir

Coolest job on the planet...for a wood guy!

finally an hour long cat video!

The operator on the 501 CAT must be millennium , because went run processor put 8’ 6” should be roll off logs on each of the machine with the bushes in middle for soft working area all machines to travel on to . 😊 grew up CAT logging equipment, good gears put love there diesel fuel eating batsh . Look like cutting second grown timber no size to it Chris . Half loaded limit must be on , semi own got a half off a load that we bring off the forests. Plus we load our trailer different to max out on a full load off timber.

Curious if anyone who applied for the HAIX 100 testers get selected for a free pair of boots? and if not did you instead get a discount code for 50% off?🤔

where in northern wi. is this job, Iam from minocqua and I have 35 to 40 deer in my yard every day. go check on logging job that are cutting spruce or balsum.then you shold see alot of deer. I worked in the woods for years. you said the wolves are killing all of the deer. what about the 20,000 or so killed by cars and trucks every year. nothing is ever said about that.I liked your film. it brought back memories when I was logging.

My son runs feller buncher land clearing logging co.

👍👍👍

Why are they clear cutting? Is it for future development? Fire prevention?

Need a good old wolf hunt... Need to keep them in order just like having to many deer , thats a ton of wood there wow

Folks from Michigan’s UP complain about wolves too. I would imagine there is a decent amount of shoot (or trap), shovel, and shut up…….but not quite enough. 😉

hi there neat to watch john, will they cut at 16 inches .

Do they need to exterminate the wolves to a manageable number or are they protected. Thanks for the video. I remember last year with your brother Ken and yourself when they where grading wood, or that already had been done but Ken was explaining it as he did grading before from memory.😊

Good morning Chris, what happens to all of those trees. What are they gonna be processing to?

I hope you took the N&N with you to bring back a load. So what do people mash up their cars on, if there are no deer to run in too ? Interesting footage today. Four tornados touched down within 77 miles of me yesterday afternoon. In far eastern iowa

🤘

👍👍

Stupidly a couple years ago Colorado voters voted to reintroduce wolves in CO. Even after farmers and some wildlife biologists argued against it. Farmers warned the state wildlife officials they would have to take care of the problem if they started losing cattle. What about the wildlife we will lose for the hunting economy?

At this rate, we won't have to worry about the wolves. As a matter of fact, we won't have to worry about any wildlife... Just for a couple of decades.

👍

Good variety on your show?

I THINK THE TREES ARE POPPLE CUT IN 8 FOOT LENGHTHES PULP FOR PAPER

Skilled operator. Too bad so many junky little trees. Paper?

Is that poplar? Quaking Aspen?

Do they replant after harvest

Where in northern wisconsin is this

239! Day late and a dollar short

What species of Wood are they cutting

Buddy they can produce a bunch of wood in just a little while. Chris do get some logs from this logger

Any idea why the state is clear cutting all that land
