I really like the narrative during the work. I know what a saw sounds like. LOL

You know Chris, what you were saying about people ripping on others for their brand choices was spot on! After all, if we all liked the same things, we'd all want to marry the same woman!!!

Anybody that has cut enough firewood will agree w/your strategy & coaching in this video. Very good video. Take care Chris

You can’t please everyone so you might as well please yourself. Don’t dwell or apologize . You are Awesome!! Keep ‘em coming!!

I like the explanation and voice over. The change in videos is refreshing

Chris I know that's how I got hernia and torn scrotum..those rounds are 350 to 600 pounds .I take trees down fir living and have zero machines .have climb cut and rope and pull trees over then roll or lift on to trailer I actually got hurt rolling a round that wasn't so round .people don't understand the work involved .most fire wood guys have machined that do there work..they haven't done physical labor as we have .I've done it 30 years .body is broken .add to that bad health choices and hard living as younger man.mostly from bad relationships in my generation..Praise God..stay safe

All you do is entertaining to watch. Like the mixing of the video's.👍

Loved the voice over😊

Chris, keep doing what you are doing. I like all the different things

That's my kind of viedo ! Nice job . I understand the problem of pleasing everyone .

Excellent! I prefer to hear you talking than hear the saw! I miss my fireplace!!!!

Thanks Chris,i liked the way you did the video, i got my 592 after watching you couple years ago there great saws lil heavy after long day.lol thanks for my personal video

That's why they call it processing. It's a process. My favorite part is out hunting for free wood. My least favorite part is stacking. As a home burner, you are correct, the payoff on the investment is the burning. It's always fun to come by a particular piece that I remember splitting, or I remember where the wood came from.

Good Morning Chris and all the wood yard. Is is so wet here this morning we have flood warnings for the Soco river here in Conway New Hampshire Crazy weather so far this year. 🎄🦌🪵🔥

I mostly listen to u tube while working and the commentary instead of just hearing saws rip is great.

I also enjoyed seeing the giant ash find a useful end. I've taken out several dead ash trees from my property. I love the burn. It's just a heart breaker to see all of the amazing timber succumb to the E.A. Borer

Just keep doing what you want to do. I like the variety of the woodyard work, and I look forward to the next video, so don't change. Merry Christmas.

Im a Husqvarna guy myself but couldnt agree more that any saw that works for you that runs and is sharp is a good saw. Same with trucks. Focus on our common interest instead of how we are different.

I really enjoy the voice over videos. Keep up the variety of work.

Awesome video never hurts to teach an old dog a new trick or remind me I'm older now I have to be careful

I like the 'after thought' commenting on your 'work'!!!

Really liked how you did the audio explaining everything you were doing well done!

A great score Chris!👍👍

Easy video to watch, I do prefer the voice over rather than hearing a chainsaw grind...Your system really looks like it works, Good job 🎄🎄🍫🍫🍫

Great video and commentary. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Best Christmas wishes from Nebo N.C. !

another great episode. thanks Chris

I Wanna see the kittens! LOL. Who wouldn't love the variety!

Good work 👍👍👍

Covid made me discover KZfaq and your channel. Now I watch several woodhound channels. I live in Maine and have burned wood for heat for many years. Now I'm old and in the way still burning wood. Your narration is nice for the nimrods and I like hearing your point of view. Watch your topknot

Very nice show keep up the good work Chris

Nice work Sir Chris! Thats a lot of ash! I cut for two afternoons in a row and was sore for 3 days. We all need a break. See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻 GNI

Nice load 👌 Exciting 😊 & Free bonus!🎉

Love watching you. I like that you see many sides of the opinions thrown at you. Keep being you !!

I like you describing and explaining things instead of the saw running all the time. I enjoyed todays video. keep up the good work!

Chris, keep doing what you are doing. You are running a wood yard. Part of a woodyard is cutting, splitting and felling. Anyone who is critical of another's choice of saw or truck or beer or whiskey or whatever clearly is lacking something in themselves. You do you and I'll do me. Saying that though my Ram would have pulled that trailer over the stump in two-wheel drive in neutral...LOL

Thanks, Chris for doing the voice over instead of hearing a saw running the whole time, much appreciated! We learn more this way! GNI

Hi Chris good to see you cutting I to like to see you cutting trees

Good job Chris. You & I live in the same firewood world, but at totally different levels. Even though I've probably cut firewood 12 or 13 years longer than you have, I've still learned a lot from watching your videos. I use antiquated methods and equipment most of the time because I just enjoy doing it and am fortunate to be healthy enough at age 74 to continue the woodyard gym instead of walking in circles at the mall. Reading the grain while splitting some of those noodle blocks might make an interesting video if it suits your fancy. I don't know if I've ever seen one on KZfaq. GNI

Hello. Vic here! Everything you said I agree with. Awesome stuff.

Loved the video learned all this from u along time ago the ripping especially has made my wood cutting and spliting much much easyer thank you for all ur knoledge

Forgot to mention, no such thing as FREE............you earned it💪💪💪💪

Ash tends to get punky pretty quick. I split the good wood out and the stuff that is a little punky I burn at my burn pit. I will use some of it if its not to bad in my garage too. I had a few ash I took down around Nov last year and I had it all piled up next to my splitter and didn't get it split till this spring and a 1/3rd or better went to my burn pit. There was no punk at all when I cut it down 5 months or so earlier. It was sitting on pallets and all didn't really matter got punky. I have a handful that blow down every winter too and by the time I get it cut up usually a lot of it is punky when it only fell down a few months earlier. I cut up some ironwood that had blown down years ago and it was all completely solid but ash you can't let it sit need to get it cut and out of there real quick after it comes down or you loose a bunch of firewood

I am watching this and thinking. Just think when we was kids we had to do all that work with a two man buck saw. We was so poor we only used old cutting and splitting tools. Wasn't until I was 12 years old working for a neighbor 2 miles down the road that I was able to use a chain saw his 4X4 truck. I told my neighbor how we have been cutting trees down cutting them up and splitting them. The neighbor thought I was so full of it and said you know I would love to see you guys working one day. I said well come over on Saturday morning. That Saturday he did just that and saw my family out working in the woods with really old tools. Dad was talking to him as he calls me over to sharpen the two man Buck saw. My neighbor told me dad you do know you are using tools that they use to use in the 19 20's and 30's Dad said it gets the job done and that is what matters. We would drag logs out of the woods some times a mile to out house by hand. Most people would never believe how we had to work just to keep heat in our house to stay warm in Maine.

Us folks on the west coast think it’s cute when ya’ll say “Or ah Gone” for Oregon. Around here we say “Or eh gun”, emphasis on the last syllable. All good, don’t stop.

Very good Chris I totally agree with you, there are some good firewood toys as I call them. The companies that make things for firewood keep new ideas coming because that makes them money. I think the least amount of toys you have they don't get in the way and it is cheaper. I am 71 and I don't sell firewood. I have a boiler,2 chainsaws, 2 pickaroons ,and a glacier splitter because that's how I move and a skid steer. To me that is all I need. Keep it up because I watch you every day. Merry Christmas to you and your wife and all of your wood crew, stay safe.

I like it better then listening to the saw I hear that enough when I'm cutting

Hi Chris, thanks for the best logging commentary I have found on KZfaq. I am a retired professional Forest Officer in Scotland with 58 years of firewood logging experience (and a lot of highly skilled felling) behind me. Your commentary is the most sensible, “wood-wise” and realistic I have encountered. You have a great, clear voice and good pace of speaking, great use of language, no wasted words. Doing it without the chainsaw noise is very effective; quartering the big rounds and cutting them to half lengths is something I have also come to in more recent years as I have aged, in order to avoid strain and extend my logging life. Love your cable tie measuring device and will adopt it immediately, my best solution to date was a 10ft measuring stick with pre-measuring and marking with a light saw cut (developed as much of my wood has been delivered in 10ft lengths, a 25 ton load about every 3 years). Congratulations on a lifetime of skills well-passed on to others. Keep dodging that second hernia!

I love this format because it's informative and I can enjoy the sawing without the screaming noise that I hate on all tree working, camping, survivalist, wilderness shows. I need a 10vsecond warning so I can turn my sound off when metal hits wood and also the flashy lights when I watch welding videos. Thank you. More of this, please! ❤ And PLEASE never risk your body's natural limits. NOT worth it! Ask me how I know. Nvm😂. Merry Christmas to you and all of your loved ones.

Hi Chris, Love the variety, keep the videos coming! Thanks for the hard work filming and producing every day. As my buddies and I say...don't let the old man in. Keep up the great work my friend.

Great video. New subscriber from Manitoba, I will be watching more of your videos. My wife and I cut, split, and stack about 2 full cords every year. I have two gas powered saws and one 60 volt DeWalt cordless electric saw, all 16 inch bars. Don't laugh-- I prefer the cordless saw. No tuning, no gas to mix, very quiet. We cut jack pine and poplar, usually less than 16" diameter. I can knock down the trees, cut into lengths and come home with one full (bush) cord using 5 batteries. But I always have a gas powered saw with me for backup.

First time commenting. I enjoy the voice overs. More engaging and more compelling to listen to.

Great video today. Your videos are high quality, makes a difference. Keep doing what you been doing, it works.👍

Also... I enjoy seeing you making deliveries.

Do what you like don't matter what other people want your shows are always great

Hey Chris. I loved the narration while you were cutting. Very interesting and entertaining. Again you’re a good worker. Thanks for sharing. Craig Pa.

Chris, just keep doing what you want to do. I truly do enjoy watching all of your videos. They bring back memories of my wood cutting days. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

Nice cutting and ripping😊 Have a warm shower😊

Długi film ooo super!!Pozdrawiam ❤

Super interesting. A lot of economy of motion there. Totally agree on moving up 20cc on saws being a game changer. Looks like a great score on the free wood!

Very interesting show lots of informative info. I purchased one of the vises your selling what a big difference that has made fantastic

Free wood is good. And running the saws is good. That’s a big saw. I like the variety of videos too. Very interesting. Learning how you do it. That saw really ripped it good. My biggest saw I have is a 046 stihl. That’s all I want to handle. I like to see all the different stuff you do. And different equipment u use. Thankyou for the videos. The punky edge helps get the wood burning especially when it’s dry.

Awesome video Chris, you cut, split whatever you need to do. Happy to watch all of it eager to learn. And I have learned a lot, stay safe!

I enjoy the videos, whatever you create , I learn and take away something. Cheers

Very helpful video, great information, Thank You Sir!

Nice job very educational 👍👍

Hey Chris, it’s great to see you cutting again. Enjoy all the information you can give . Love the variety!

Nice job Chris. A lot of good insight into why we do what we do. I've done this a few thousand times over the last 35 years! Like you, I rip with a regular chain. I have 5 model 372's all with 20 in. bars. I also have a 390 XP with a 32 in. for large diameter logs. But because ripping will tend to dull the chain a little more quickly, and since I mostly cut 16 inch lengths also, to keep my edge longer on the 32 inch, I rip only with the 372's 20 in, which reaches across the log length with some to spare. I also keep several extra sharp chains in the truck. When I get dull, I switch out in a minute. I'm not hand filling in 10 degree weather. I have two Oregon bench grinders at the shop, one set up for the cutter, the other set up at 90 degrees to touch the raker if it needs it. By the way, I love my Haix - I bet your feet are warm! And when it's this cold, I keep my bar oil up on the passenger floor board in front of the heater. Pours out smooth! Great score, great work!

Something I learnt from diving, if you rub liquid soap (or in it's absence on site the greenest loogie you can summon) into your glasses then clean it off, it fogs up way less

Chris. A top video explains everything for patrons to understand the things you do. It’s your way that may not suit everybody. Chris and family have a great Christmas. Cheers Baz from Tasmania

Enjoyed it. Enjoy all you do.

Your new woodyard with work benches, shelves, some cabinets. Wonderful 😊. I have learned so much since I found your channel. I’m making storage bins from pallets, like yours, no stacking. Last month I answered an ad on marketplace and removed a 42” fallen oak tree. Which immediately led to their neighbors asking me to remove a fallen walnut tree. Keep making a variety of videos. I’m sure you got more to teach me. 🤩👍

I like watching it all Chris. Every day I watch.

i like the play by play alot

Ah the joy of cutting yuge logs that are much bigger than your bar. Fun times! Often, I end up ripping it in place- because I can't get all the way through, or don't want to eat dirt- and then using the X27 to pop em apart. Or a sledge n wedge. Sometimes I have to rip several parallel cuts, and more or less split it in place, lol. Going from the outside in until I can get to that wood that I couldn't reach. But darnit- it's great wood and I'm not leaving it there to rot. I, too police the area as I go. Nothing is more irritating than tripping and stumbling over obstacles I put in my own damn way... And it makes it easy to see your progress. I'll often do ALL my splitting right there- both to give my back a break from the cutting and lifting- and also it leaves the mess THERE, and not in my yard!

Augh the hernia time, lived with mine for 20+ years, Always used the flip it on another block and onto the trailer method. One thing is a tank of gas is file time 3 strokes per tooth and 500 ml of water to your body replacement time. Looks like asbestos tiles on the house

Loved the video Chris...keep em up

I like the variety of content Chris, keep doing you! I started selling firewood last March/ April and I've adopted your motto of do a little bit everyday. It's helped. Stay busy!

YES! It's interesting. I just got done doing the same thing with a big Locust tree and my 24" EGO CSX5000. That saw; in that configuration; weighs about 23lbs; but boy does it cut!

Good video and explanations. Fast work too. My stove burns crotch wood and knots well.

Good information. Love the whole video.

Almost stuck!! Just throw sawdust into the rut!! Nice pull

Excellent work and video Chris and the boss’s showed up 😮😊❤

I like the voice overs as it provides information and I learn new techniques.

The narration is fantastic

Yes, enjoyed the voice over. You gave a lot of info that was interesting. I hope you do more videos like this one. Thank you Chris.

Fun video that day seeing the saws out having fun! Nice work that day! 🔥💯👍. Andrew from NB :)

Ripping it down just makes sense, hell we’re 73 and going to do it the best way for US

Thanks for the helpful tips.

Love this video. Best I have seen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video, love the commentary.

Yes I like the voice over. Last year I bought a 82cc homelite 925 and did that make a difference cutting the crouches and the butt ends. Great for ripping. Thanks for the info.

Very enjoyable and educational style of video. I sent it to a couple guys that are new to the industry as well.

Mystyk! Thats good bar oil. ❤❤ just discovered it. Super good for the price. I just picked up 50 gallons of it in 2 gallon jugs! And 20 one gallon jugs. For even lower price on black friday. ❤❤ good sawing! Big saws cut faster yes sir. Even dull. Unless you hitting that asphalt or gravel 😂

The only good thing about th ash borer is plenty of wood. I like the variety of videos. Great work.

Great video. I just bought a neo-tech ns 8105 a clone of the Stihl 070, it's very heavy and vibrates a lot,it has a 36" bar and for some crazy reason I love it. Chain speed is not very fast but it grunts it's way through wood.

Just keep on doing what you're doing. Love your vids!!

Wow! What a huge score of free ash! I do same thing, cut with my 500i and O64av, and then use ms180 or ms250 when I'm beat up. Like your dad said, it's bull work!

Impressive ripping. My big saw is a Stihl 391. Noodles plug heavy and takes me much longer. Gotta look at a bigger saw.

Hey chris, another very interesting and educational video, I say that because i havent run a chainsaw that much until this year as we are heating with wood, as for the karens in this world, you do you, your content is so diverse for everything you do on a daily routine. BEST CHANNEL EVER.

I enjoy the voice overs like this, very interesting and like to listen to your expertise
