The best part is the children in the woods it brings back when I was young with my Dad, thank you so much. Remember safety is number one on your homestead.
You are not crazy! Love that you had the kids with you. Father, sons and grandchildren, wow. Teaching the children what you do, how you work and safety.
Yep.
A absolute joy to see father and sons working together, while children play in the background. I think you would be even more crazier, that to post a piece of living history. Thank you for sharing, by one and all. Thank you from Canada.
Simeon, your editing and photography keep getting better, great choice of music too. Thoroughly enjoyable video. Love the involvement of family -- you're building character and memories in your children.
Thanks.
Just loving all your videos. My wife and I have given you three a new name...The Logging 'Tree-O'.
Some people watch gossipy chat shows on TV, some game shows and other addicted to soap operas, we are addicted to your channel.
Well said. I agree!
Haha. Awesome. Thanks guys.
I saw your Dad and Brother do a lot of work! I guess that is the benefit of being the cameraman.....😆
It is sometimes... ;)
This is great- to see three generations "working" in the woods together and caring for their land. You guys have an enviable family.
Your visual story-telling ability has grown tremendously since you first started this.
Simeon ,do not apologize for doing responsible forestry management...we loved this video...watching you all...we have a small bit of land that Grant loves to putter away in his spare time...he was a wee bit envious of your wood mizer...I am sending my brother Ron a link to these videos he has worked in the logging business before...just loves it too...
Awesome. Thank you.
great teamwork and use of small equipment...well done
Not at all crazy to post this. Quite mesmerizing and interesting. Good topic! Good series.
Great video. Trailer & 4 Wheeler make a great combination to pick up harvested logs. You guys make one hell of a team!! Thanks for sharing. Vinny
Any piece of equipment that gets more work done all while making it easier on you is a nice piece to have. I am really looking forward to seeing that woodmizer in more detail! Keep up the great videos Simeon.
Thanks.
This brings back so many memories. My family used to log like this in the mountains of New Hampshire. Even as little children we would all have specific jobs assigned to each of us. Between all my uncles, grandfather and cousins, we would have to process thirty plus cords of firewood for three households per year. Hard work, but some of the best times of my life. At the end of the day my grandmother and aunts would have a massive meal ready for some twenty five plus people. The conversations still ring in my mind.Thank You for taking me back home again.
That sounds awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
I love what you have to offer, it's authentic and I can learn from it.. thank you, fellow Oregonian.... I also love to see the kids involved, even if they are playing,
Nice. Thanks.
Hey☺ simply a great video. Yes seeing family together doing stuff like this is fantastic! I just can't tell you how much I appreciate seeing this. 👍
Thanks.
Wow, awesome stuff.... At the End, you three look like a poster for a super-hero movie.
Haha. That's funny.
what a great set up Simeon, I love that trailer , thank you for bringing us along on these adventures....
Glad you liked it.
I really love the farm scale equipment you have. Not too small, not too big, just right. The 4-wheeler is so versatile, i can't believe it. Every time i watch a video, you have something different hooked up to it. :D The Salatins should check out your vids. Thanks for the great video.
haha. Thanks. I think I need to learn from the Salatins. ;)
I like your modesty. :D
I love that trailer!
It is so great to see a family working together. Keep up the good content. You should be over 50,000 subscribers by the end of the year.
Thanks.
Great job guys. Very informative. thanks.
Thank you for a true demo on the trailer, using the winch to its extreme
Thank you for another very interesting and instructive video. Nice to see that the children follow you around so they get tidbits of information on the work the adults do.
very interesting and inspiring, you know how to use your equipment. Your filming and editing are very good, very enjoyable, I'm a big fan!
Awesome. Thank you.
What an awesome trailer, looks like it handles a lot of weight. Great combo for a homestead, hard working but not hard on your forests. Great video.
That is great! I couldn't figure out why you thought it was crazy to post ...
I really like your setup here, I did notice by the lights on the Honda that the electrical draw was pretty high. If you added a deep cycle battery to the trailer, and kept the current electrical connection. The heavy load while winching would draw on the larger battery, and the Honda would keep topping it up. Removing a lot of strain on the very small battery in the quad.
You got a point there. I was winching the Quad with a 1.300 kg trailer up a snowy slope and it died on me a couple times because the battery was too drained. Barely got it started again. I think we will consider something like you mentioned.
Your guys vids have been the perfect example to my friends and family of what it is going to take to do things like build my cabin. I also love the trailer with crane. Great work, keep it up.
Thanks.
You and y our family are great at farming, love and kindness. Best wishes on your move!! As always it will be great!!!!!
Holy hell, what I wouldn't give for trees as straight and true as yours! It's a whole different story cutting boards out of antipodean hardwood, I can tell you...
Yeah, I know. My dad has gotten his share of milling oak, maple, ash and other hard woods. In Sweden spruce like in this video is generally used for construction lumber.
It's always much easier unloading the log trailer than loading it. ;)
It sure is.
It is so cool to see your small scale logging operation. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Glad you liked it.
Your Dad looks like a hard worker. Wouldn't want to tangle with that guy! :)
Hi Simeon, thanks for the good clip. Your series on tree to lumber is informative for city folk, they need to see how much work it takes to mill trees. thanks
I know you couldn't have done it without your three little helpers. I think that is one of the best reasons for homesteading.
Very good my Swedish friends.Always nice to have the family along logging.I enjoy watching.
Thanks.
A good day to be a cameraman.
Haha. Yes!
Thanks for posting this fine video, you have a wonderful family.
I know it is a lot of work; you made it looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for the video.
That is a very well designed trailer. Thanks.
That little trailer is pretty amazing. Thanks for the video
Great video! And a awesome job putting it together!! Double thumbs up
Thanks.
cool! wish i had one when i logged off our place!
Fantastic!
Your Dad is amazing, still very strong for his age.
He's a grizzly. ;)
Another great video! I read some of the comments and while most are pleasing, there is always some that try to piss in the wind. It's good to see you and your family working together.
Thanks.
What a great video Simeon. One thing that struck me as I watched this, is how your choice of all the different camera angles really help to provide continuity to the story. Good job. I think this series was a good idea, I'm enjoying it.
I guess since we haven't seen any bbq on the homestead videos it is safe to assume Sally is doing ok now?
Best wishes from Canada.
Haha. Yes. Sally is doing ok. I am planning to make a cow update soon.
That thing sure can pull some weight. Well done guys.
Great job guys! No point having machines if you don't *use* them! =)
🌾Merry meet 🌿
Thanks
I get a very fulfilled feeling watching. I wish I could do tat too !
Another well made video, thank you. I am most impressed by the strength of the trailer. It appears to be made of thin walled tubing but must be a very high tensile strength to take the loads that it does. Knowing that it has been in service for many years already is another indicator that it is very well constructed. Great to see many generations working/playing together.
It is high quality.
I have noticed that most of your equipment is made in Sweden. Is the trailer also from Sweden and who is the manufacture ? I have thought of using a trailer and quad as your family does but my local ground is much steeper and the wood , maybe, a little too big for such a unit. Or so I'd thought. I cut my pieces to as close to 1100 lbs (500 kg) as I can for using a helicopter to move it. But often I leave lesser valued wood behind due to the high cost of removal, having a capable trailer such as this might make sense for me. Any info is appreciated. Thank you. Cheers from Canada's west coast.
Great video! Many thanks to your Dad and Tim for their work in the video, the kids are so cute!
Fantastic set-up. Great trailer/forwarder. You sure make a quad bike earn its living!
Great video, it's nice to have equipment like that! Much less impact to the forest floor.
Yes. That's what we love about it as well.
Very nice! When your dad has his rental trailers ready, my wife and I would love to rent one. We live in San Diego, California. NOT BORN HERE. We are from the Midwest and your vidio's make us home sick. Keep up the great job. It must be very diffacult but rewarding.
I think we will get a website up and running once we have accommodations. Then people can book the places and take a vacation on the farm.
Your response to John Poutsch was very exciting. We too would love to take a working vacation on your homestead. Please tell your Dad to hurry and complete the trailers. For us it would the trip of a lifetime. Sweden is not that far from Michigan, USA. LOL
Nice. I hope it will happen soon.
Great video ! I see you have supervisor(s) on the job !
Finally you have authentic Swedish music in your video (it's good though).
I am glad you liked the music but to be honest it wasn't Swedish in any way. ;)
Great video. Now, THAT is HOMESTEADING !!!
Thanks.
Always a pleasure watching the three of you working in the woods. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love that the whole family is working together. Great music.
great video,, a pickaroon would be handy
That logging cart for your atv is so cool. I've never seen one like it.
Some more good Machines; lennartsfors.com/
I had no idea that your quad can pull such a heavy load👍👍👍you guys make it seem easy but I'm sure it's not that easy! Keep up the good videos:))
I think it was overloaded.
It would be interesting to see your arburist brother do a video on identifying tree types based upon bard and even showing images of trees not native to Sweden.
Best video yet. If I can't buy a trailer like that, I will build one. I'm in Washington state, USA. Again, Great video!
I wish we had a workshop where we could build stuff like that.
Woody Miletich you can buy a trailer like that from Woodland mills in Canada about 1700 I think
I had a Honda TRX350 Forman. It was a workhorse, I wish I hadn't sold it. Good to see you guys putting one to good use.
Great trailer and lift. Thanks for sharing guys!
Wow the log cart held about twice of what I thought it would hold....very impressive.....Great video.
I think it was a bit overloaded. ;)
The remote for that winch sure does come in handy
Yeah. You are able to keep your distance from the logs and the winch that way.
The trailer that carries the wood is awesome, i sure could use one of those.
I am really enjoying these forestry/wood use videos! Nice to see Papa in this one; now we see whom you take after. Your brother, however, who always seems so serious, reminds me of Vincent VanGogh's self portrait (but with more ears). ;-)
The scene near the beginning with the quad traveling over snow-dusted terrain with Caribbean music, reminds me of the Jamaican bobsled team in reverse.
Hahah. That's funny.
Tim does appear quite serious, I think you get that way working in forestry, or perhaps people who are serious are drawn to forestry, possibly why I ended up doing it :-)
Amazing we have a versatile types of forest here in Puerto Rico. You have a fan from a tropical island never cold. Have a great day🖒🖒🖒🖒
Wow. How awesome. Would love to visit some day.
Even though I have a large tractor and winch I often use my wheeler and trailer. I always pick the load off the trailer with the tractor and a couple chains and place on a log deck. My mill has no hydraulics. Your forest is like a garden of trees. Very nice demo.
I do not understand why you twice said that it was crazy to show this. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks.
Fascinating!! Love to watch!
Good stuff men! I dig the intro, rooster call. That log puller with winch and the 4-wheeler is the real deal!! Keep on cutting!!!
that log cart is amazingly off road capable! thumbs up
Great teamwork!
Very nice set up, I have been using forks on my loader. I think I am going to get one of those log grabbers and put it on my loader bucket. Great job , God Bless.
Thanks for sharing.
Relaxing to watch.
sure is some fancy equipment you all have there! nice job
Thanks.
at 7:25, the Old Man and the Kid. Such a great thing to see and be a part of!
Amazing log arch!
Nice video, good atv setup ... Thanks for sharing
hi,thanks for your time and sharing you fine family with us!doug
That trailer set up is great! I love the articulated axles, great for the rough terrain!
The use of the trailer with the boom and winch really shows the "Use your brain, not your back" to do that kind of work.
Well done!
Oh, why are you "Crazy" to be posting this?
Cheers!
Love the work gear. I noticed it wasn't listed. Pants, protection, etc. Great video and background music
Your videos are amazing!
Doing what you can with what you have ! It's what it all about !
another great vid...love the forrest to board......love ur page
Thanks.
Great video :) and that trailer is an awesome peace of kit. Keep up the good work
Another video that I have enjoyed
Great trailer
Hi boys a very good set up keep up the good work
Mate, if that stuff doesn't get made into the best sauna in Sweden, you'd be doing it wrong. Love your work, keep it coming... 😀
Haha. Well. We could use it for the walls but all the benches and stuff we would make out of aspen. We want to build a sauna though and when we do it will be on the channel!
That is the greatest log hauling trailer! Goed gedaan mensen!
great video!
you guys are the best.
That logging trailer is cool! Never seen one but am thinking I could build one sometime. Nice video Cheers from America ;)
That is awesome if you can build one yourself.
