IM RETIRED NOW AND JUST HUNT AND FISH AND YES I STILL CUT BUT ITS JUST BIRCH FOR MY FIREPLACE AND FURNACE FOR WINTER HEAT..

Thanks Squatch. I'm impressed you've taken the time to reply to one of your older videos, thank you. All of what you say is true of course and I understand, his approach is certainly different, but I've found he is very much an acquired taste. It took me a while to appreciate his style. Perhaps it's just me, but I admire his endeavours to get things done in what is obviously a hard life, while maintaining, mostly, a good sense of humour.

I went over because of you. Rick is rick. Take him or not. I talk different than him but not earlier in my life. That is how life goes. Changes

Cool, I ran one for 25yrs in southern Ontario hauling heavy hardwoods, seldom more than 3 chokers. Bet you've got some stories.

@@oneupmanship It broke my heart when our Pulp mill in Marathon closed and then our camp closed..falling trees and working in the bush is the best job I ever had. I just purchased a home last year in Manitouwadge to retire there next year. I love to hunt moose and fish which northern Ontario boasts the best of both. We would always see wildlife on our way to work and in the winter the moose would come into our cut sites because they were hungry..we would feed them apples and carrots and they would just about take them right from our hands...lol..cheers to you

You did good!

Rick Bork I just came across this on Squatch’s channel you guys should play together more often 🤦‍♂️😂 holy hell that things loud

Yes, he was right about that. I used to work for a large heavy equipment dealer back in the 1970's and then we sold and serviced GM's Terex line, which of course was all powered by and with, the GM Diesel engines right up to the 16V engines. The worst thing , we were told, is DON'T let these idle too long . I've seen it happen ( and I'll bet you've seen it too, ) or you'll get what they called " wet stacking" ; being a 2-stroke engine design that would rather be working hard at over 2000 R.P.M. or the exhaust manifolds, pipe's and muffler's would become wet with half burned fuel. So this led to the nick name of "screaming jimmies ". Just for folks who may not know, General Motors built these engines with two main brand names, General Motors Diesel, and Detroit Diesel, they were the same engine, basically,. Apparently this was done so GM could sell these engines to other manufacturers like Ford and Chrysler so they didn't have to 'advertise' the GM name on the engine's top pans. It was better to raise the hood of a Ford or Dodge heavy truck and see DETROIT DIESEL printed on it rather then see GENERAL MOTORS DIESEL.
