I am still truly in awe at how much Lenny has improved on this dog food!
@sundaysfordogs
Well, we are in need of more long lumber (16') for our deck project, and the only way to get that is by cutting a tree down on our property. We have a couple of dead-standing Douglas Fir trees to choose from, and one is more dangerous to fell than the other. So I started with the easier one, but should this be a 2 person job?
I have a little bit of experience felling trees, but not a ton, and not for large dead-standing trees like this is a thick forest, with a lean in the tree.
I really do need more practice! (and just need to trust myself and hold onto my little bit of confidence with it 😊).
I also have an update on my workshop!
Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video!

I wish you would get a real pair of Logger Boots for Felling trees and Milling, just saying, your in a region where some of the best logger boots in the world are produced.
Good Job, funny joke about "many-paws" (describes my Wife perfectly).
We are gonna give the Sundays K9 Food a try (for our furry kids).
Be Safe out there, so glad to hear Steve is improving. 👍
Glad to hear about Koda finding a forever home, also good idea about the addition off the back of the house.
26:55 Pure Concentrated Happiness/Joy ❤
@@hkguitar1984I suggested Dayton Lineman boots but Michelle did not go for it. I know they are a bit over kill but bloody hell they would look amazing on her😁.
@@ukpaullouis2708 They would indeed look fantastic on her, the Dayton Lineman take it to a whole new level. 👍
Still though, its difficult to argue against the convenience of slip-on boots.
@@ukpaullouis2708 That's not importante.
Glad Steve has turned the corner and is on the mend
i had back surgery and need a 2nd the wort was the day after, i then barely got in my neighbors car but few days later it started feeling better abd worked for 15 yrs when another 2 places failed
Dang near broke my jaw smiling when you cut a proper face cut on that stick,hey it went where you wanted didn't hang up & no body got hurt, when you commit to an escape route you stick with it no matter what! Congrats on the shop expansion that is so cool. Good news about Steve's healing progress can almost feel his relief as it gets better, be safe & best to all!
You crack me up with your humor. Great job with the tree. Glad Steve is on the road to recovery. Thanks Michy!
I'm very glad Steve is feeling better. After 44 years of being a RN I have a great understanding of back pain.
Clyde in the background during playtime:
"I've been replaced... I've been replaced by THAT thing?!? Oh, come on!"
😂
Also later: Michygoss: "I want to save the better part of these"
You don't need to tell us, we know you do by now 😆
I think every time you consider saving something for later, Steve gets one of those Jedi disturbance-in-the-force shivers.
I was a wildland firefighter for a decade. I've felled hundreds of trees. There was very little wrong with your wedge and backcut. Bruce just complicated the process. He didn't "clean up" the hinge, he messed it up. The only mistake you made was forgetting that your bar wasn't long enough to do the back cut from one side. No biggie.
You do the best ad reads. You're the only channel where I don't skip over them !
@@ted2704 awe thank you!
@@michygoss7148 I guess I'll have to watch closer.
This may sound strange considering the work you did to get the tree down, but I found this to be a very relaxing video to watch on a Sunday morning. Thanks Michy
It wasn't oh, well. Some analysis of the event.
Great video. Glad Steve is on the healing side of healing. Best wishes to both of you.
I enjoy the videos you make for us. Looking forward to the extension of your existing home to house your workshop.
Thank you so much for your hard work and humor.
Great idea for the workshop. Thank you for the enjoyable videos. And I hope you make yourself happy making the videos. They are art, and the artist says when they're work is done.
You are an amazing, resourceful, caring woman. God blessed Steve to have you in his life. Amazing, thank you for your videos
... You did great with the tree cutting ... All those dogs are living their best life with you and Steve ... Good to hear he's healing ... Stay Safe ..
I love the episodes where the dogs play a supporting role. Koda is such a cute young guy!
Hi Michelle. You will learn more and more ways to use the bobcat, chains and straps to make your projects less stressful on your body. You have a great head on your sholder. I know you will continue to figure more ways to work smater than harder. Good job being your first huge tree dropping. Always love watching you deal with your projects. Your so easy on my eyes and give you credit for fantastic videos. Your my favorite u tuber. Praying for Steves quick recovery. Till the next video...stay safe and happy. ❤
Great news with Steve and Kota. They are blessed to have you in their lives. Great job with the tree also, I'm glad you asked for help. I have been guilty of downing way too many trees alone myself. I was 40 years younger and full of confidence. I was wrong too.
One suggestion I would give. Purchasing a proper set of logging chains could also save your life. You would only need a couple, but they are intended for the exact use you have. They are designed for binding on the log where eye hooks tend to slip. I nearly lost my life back then when a hook slipped under stain, missing my head by inches. We all hope you have a great week. Peace be with you and your family.
Great news about Steve! And great idea about your workshop!
Michelle, I love watching and listening to you
Leaning trees and Barber chair events are no joke thats for sure! Be safe
Happy for your intended new workshop.
Que Steve este bien pronto!!! ❤
Thank you Michelle for being so transparent and very cool!! I look forward to you milling "Doug" down to lumber, and an update on Steve,and the dogs, and the deck, and the cliff cabin oh my!! A little bit busy and so understood!! Thank you!
Love your videos, scenery, the dogs, your soh. But I just can't help smiling every time I see Clyde. What a great dog.
Praise the Lord for helping Steve over the hump. I’ve had back, neck and knee replacement surgeries, so I understand what he’s going through. May the Lord bless and keep you both.
Beauty and a sense of humor 2 great traits to have ❤
Totally agree. Michy's eyes are hypnotic once I see them I can't stop looking at them
Ya.
Great video! Really enjoy your calming narrative and thoughtful, logical explanation along with showing the outcome. You pull no “you tube” punches and include bits of humor all while helping people learn from your adventures. Very genuine and super fun to watch!
Good to hear Steve is recovering, good to see you back outside. Thank you for sharing. Paul
Hi Michelle - It is always good to take a break when the need arises. Have a great productive week ahead.
I think you should just post videos whenever you can and not worry too much about it❤ dogs are the heartbeat of us they bring so much pleasure into our lives we would be lonely without dogs so thank you for the video and showing us your family❤ you take care I hope Steve is going to get better real soon❤ and we will see you on the next one thank you❤
Michelle, I missed your absence last Sunday. You mean a lot to me with your wit and charm. I so wondered we’re you were! So glad to find a new video today.
I have never felled a tree yet. I hope I never have to. I am proud you got brave enough to get your own trees for your mill. That takes courage. Thank you for making such great and enjoyable videos. I live in Melbourne, Florida and we are very far from each other physically, but the miles mean nothing when we have contact through great technology such as your videos. Thanks so much.
Thank you for sharing the goings-on in your life. You are such a lovely person!
"There is no beauty where there is not some strangeness in the mix" Or something like that. What a treat you are.
Thankyou for finding Koda a new home, he deserved it
And you did a good job on that tree, life is a big learning curve
Bwahaha!!! You're just a guy in a great bod! 😂Clyde looked almost jealous when you tickled that saw...
Best wishes to Steve in his recovery. 👍👍👍👍👍 And look at you go, girl, with that tree! Glad Bruce was there to spot, even though things changed from your orighnal approach. 👏 Safety 3rd!😅 I hung my hammock in the cedars by the big K lake for a week recently. 👍😎🇨🇦👌🌸 Workshop plans sound awesome!!
your many paws joke is a good one!
Thank you for making those video for us, the watching people ! It's soooo amazing what you do in the woods, with all the different machines and vehicles, tools, ....and your dogs ! I 'm also excited about all your knowlwledge . Great and big admire ! Sorry for my English but: Greetings from Austria / Europe
Oh my ! I think Clyde was a little jealous they way you were tickling that new saw .....
I like your workshop idea. Congrats to Steve on his recovery.
I love how you problem solve. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your ads are the best on CZcams!
The add on workshop is a brilliant idea! 👏✔✔👍❤
I LOVE the sound of thunder reverberating off the mountains!
Great decision on the shop. I find that space constraints makes for better efficiency.
My Dogs & Cats are grateful the fireworks are over. Been a rough few days for them. Thunderstorms also keep them up & terrify them.
Great to hear Steve is doing better😊 I think you didn't awesome job felling the tree 😊 Thanks for another wonderful video mitchy ❤ You're a godsend to all those puppies 😊
I really like how you love on your dogs. Too often out there in the world I see people just being indifferent to their pets. I hate that. Your videos are fun. Thanks!
M, I really admire your stamina, and devotion to your pups! Nice to know about "Sundays" dog foods. We don't have a pup, but would like one someday.
The 261 is the best l. So light and manuverable. I have a light 18" bar on it and it's like a scalpel. I can cut, limb and buck a tree with plenty of power to spare.
I have never commented on anyones video before but I just wanted to say thank you. Your content always makes me smile and I enjoy watching what you are up to next. Happy Steve is doing better (back surgery sucks) been there done that. I look forward to watching your videos because you do it for us. Appreciate that. Thank you!!
It's so good to hear Steve is doing better! I know how intense back pain can be!
I really love the idea of the shop addition and remember one thing, you can’t go back later so be certain of your plans. Glad Steve is doing better 🙏 take care always 😊
Hi , wanted to say this , just a few days ago a young man was doing clean up after some storm damage to some trees . He was helping with loading branches into a loader when something went wrong and took his life . He was 17 yrs old ,, a fireman where he was from . It was on out local news in pa USA yesterday . He was not cutting Down trees . Just placing big limbs into the loader they were using . Cutting down leaning trees that are very tall is a dangerous job even for a veteran logger . Ya just don’t know what can go wrong . Always seek out experienced cutter when doing so .
I've just watched 5 hours of your content and i must say you are absolutely amazingly talented.
Thanks for sharing
I am more of a cat person than a dog person, but your extended canine coverage was very nice! Especially at the end!
I bought a nose cone that goes around the end of the log when dragging it thru the woods. Cone has a slot in the nose to feed the chain or strap thru. Works great keeps the mud off the log end😊
Thanks for posting your tree job. The segment at the end with the foster pup got me. 1 1/2 yrs has passed since ours passed away. Cant bring ourself to foster yet so it was nice to get puppy fix on your channel
Thank you for pointing out your mistakes on the deadfall. I'm planning to do my first big cut next year and this video confirmed a great deal of what I was only thinking about. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Another delightful video Michelle, it's obvious that you have a heart of gold. You already mentioned not looking up when falling - as you ring the tree, any high time faller will stress - look up, again and again. Someday, it may save your life.
Great insight into how to saw. I was just thinking that My son and I are constantly criticizing ourselves on our woulda coulda shoulda pool shots and your self-analysis reminded me of that so much. I didn't learn enough how to handle cutting logs and trees from my dad before he passed so your thoughtful critique of your felling is really helping me to understand sawmanship. Thank you for making it relatable.
NO THANK YOU MICHELLE , REALLY REALLY LOVE WATCHING YOU AND WHAT YOU DO , I LOVE EVERYTHING THING YOU DO , ALL THE VERY BEST TO YOU AND STEVE AND ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL DOGS .
What do you call a man with a spade in his head?

@@T-bit 😂
Heading up the AlCan soon. I’m looking forward to seeing Canada. Looks like a great time.
Anytime I get a tree down and nobody is hurt and no property damage....its a win. I absolutely understand what you're talking about with help.
Awesome content today good on you falling the tree from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
great tio hear that Steve is on the mend. Love to see the" Pack" . Looks like there is a couple other trees that need to be removed. More wood for the sawmill. BE safe
I am like you when felling trees, since I don't have enough experience yet from doing enough of it to feel comfortable enough to do it without a lot of thought first. I am always impressed by those with the experience to look at a tree, and place the wedge cut and back cut in what seems like the perfect places and depth to have the hinge help the tree to fall where and how they want. I had two low back surgeries, while in the USAF, and know the struggles and time it takes to get back to a more normal daily routine, and glad to hear Steve is on the other side of what can be the worst of that kind of surgery. I'm always impressed by your can-do attitude, your pretty lady looks, and your makes me laugh out loud humor...that always makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. Stay safe Michelle...and more healing thoughts for Steve!😘🙂
Always be true to you, your family and those you love.
Thank you, Michelle for another wonderful video! With determination you can do anything and you have done a lot. I hope Steve starts to be able to get back to doing thing or more enjoyable..and do have a wonderful week. Thank you.!
Love your soul, Michelle.
it's standard practise to make your cut 2 inches above the wedge... it helps prevent the but from kicking back 180 from the direction of the fall.
Another tip for you is. I have a large hook on one end of my drag chain and a regular hook on the other end, so when you rap around a tree with big hook to the chain. It acts like a choker and tightens up on the tree.
HI! You have earned my respect for your accomplishments many times! Wish you all the best, and to Steve, a quick return to health and strength! And pats to all the doggies!
glad you got help with the logging ,, its very dangerous, your learning, watch up high when the tree starts 2 fall as it could hit other dead tree tops and come down on you, im not a logger but iv ben felling tree's since i was 12 years old and now im 65, anything could happen at anytime so be extra careful...
Hey Michelle, of all the surgeries I have had, spinal fusion was the most panful and made me realize just how much we depend on our back to do everything. I chose to go home the next day after surgery, and am glad I did. We older than 60 folk need to stay active. Use it or lose it, is a thing. I am glad I do have a smart home to help me do things that normally require me getting up, I can just tell Alexa to do it & save more energy for the things I alone can do.
My cats all came and asked if they could live here & I just couldn't imagine anyone loving or caring for them as much as I do. Even though I am allergic to them, I give them all the cuddles and attention they need. I get to spend 24/7 with them and I never need to work. I can ever talk to them when I am away via 2-way cameras. When I got sick, I saw that it was not just me caring for them, they were caring for me. As a result, my supplemental medical insurance started supplying all their needs. Living on a small fixed income, I always bought their needs before mine & this additional help is so beneficial to us. Tomorrow will be like Christmas when their Pets Smart box comes & we open it together.
Oh, you've got your own Hobbit room (first minute)! Great video as always. It's always a joy to watch your creations and share a bit of your goings on. Amazing work taking down that giant tree. YOU did great.
Suggestion for the off-cut Hemlock slabs; railings for the cabin-in-the-cliff porch/deck.
Many of the commenters NAG you about installing railing and you have a wealth of material. Win/Win.
Cheers from a former Castlegar guy, now in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.
I have an MS 291 myself and i must say its a great handy tool and i appreciate it very much ! Nevertheless i think you made a good choice with the 261 and its weight advantage.
Even if you didn't manage the perfect cut on the tree i find the retrieval of the logs well done.
The idea with the extension is brilliant. I suggest to have one side with some kind of garage door for summer or just for material handling.
And as for the dogs,... no further comment needed 😁
I've yet to take down one that tall, and so far have taken down two power lines (and one fiber optic). One of those, was doing great, but when one side let loose before the other, and I even had a backhoe pushing it the way I wanted it to go "for safety", it twisted and fell 90 degrees from where I wanted it. So, you're rocking it.
It was really a good cut and No injuries. You had dog playtime and cut and moved the big log for a haircut. I'm glad you were able to find a home close to yours for your fur baby. I enjoyed this video so much and so much information was given to us by you. You always include all of us on your journey going forward. Much appreciation and love to you. You are such a beautiful young lady. You should have been a model. Stay safe and Blessed. Looking forward to your next video. Hugs from Santa Barbara. 🤗😘💞🌹🍷😎🙏👏⛓🪚
Superb video. Educational and entertaining. Good job. Thanks for your advocacy for your animals.
You made the right choice of saw, always go for the best you can afford, buy once cry once.
Michelle you did a great job with the tree. Don't forget the rest of the tree. There is still lumber there that could be used for shelves or other stuff. Stay safe my beautiful Canadian friend.
Great saw. Best power to weight ratio in its class. You will be happy with your purchase!!!!!!
Enjoying your videos so much! All the best to you, Steve and the dogs from Finland :)
Moi from England 👍
Sundays could not have a better spokesperson. That endorsement was amazing.
Great choice on new saw. I'm running a 261C as well - it's got a great power to weight ratio and is ideal for most of the trees we have here in the Koots. I find the fuel tank a bit small, but that's a minor gripe.
Great job finding Coda a forever home. He looks like a love bug! I'm going to try Sundays dog food. My golden has pancreatitis so it might help her to stay healthy.
Thank You for making videos for US!
Thank you for your amazing content. Love your work.
Michelle for leaners should you do a bore cut to prevent barber chair? Maybe for the next Dougie. Sounds weird Dougie. Have fun 😊
Important tip for chain-dragging.
When you latch your hook back onto the chain, after looping around whatever, latch onto the under side of the chain if possible. This gives greater surety that the latch won't slip apart.
Yeah, you got it right the second time round with the second log.
Great video especially the endpoints, nice words with really great dog footage 👍. Thanks for your efforts.
Clydey-Bear is sure loving life!
The big yawn followed by the shake of his jowls and freeze-frame ending is absolutely hilarious and heartwarming. You're the best mom he could have ever asked for. That goes for all the other members of your family!
You solved your problem on how to do the undercuts when you lifted the log after turning it. The log was suspended off the ground allowing you to perform the undercuts at each point. In other words, lift the freshly fallen tree first. Do your undercuts, then lower it to the ground. Use the Bobcat and chain attached to the log to lift it just enough to take the stress off the cut you're about to make. After you make the full cut, you just jump in the Bobcat and drive off because you're still attached to the log. Anyway, that's my two cents!
I'm absolutely ecstatic that you'll be able to build your workshop as an addition to the house. I remember you explaining why you weren't allowed to do it before and it made me sad. The most important concern is your safety. Now you'll be at the house and Steve will be only a few steps away just in case.
The Edmonton Oilers put on an exciting rally at the end of the Stanley Cup Series. In support of you and Steve, I was cheering them on hoping that they would go four straight wins and win the cup. Bummer eh?
Michelle,
You're a flesh and blood human being with a life beyond CZcams.
I think your subs and viewers would all agree that the health and well-being of you and your family is paramount. Please don't burn yourself out just to satisfy our entertainment needs. It appears life's challenges of piling up on you right now. What a great partner Steve is to recognize that you needed a mini break from some of the load.
I guess as viewers, all we can do is offer you encouragement (Oh, and patronize your sponsors!! 😉).
You create wonderful content Michelle! ❤️
☮️ on 🌎
Good cutting on that tree ! I wish I had some soft pines to cut, all I have is a hardwood forest on my property on the mountain !
Hi Michelle great videos. I have the opposite problem to you, My husqvarna starts first time but the stihl takes ages to get going. But I always get there. Always make sure you have an exit route & it’s clear of debris so you don’t trip up. Stay safe & regards to Steve. 👍 from Uk🇬🇧
4:40 there's a third way, well, third and fourth; fall it perpendicular to the lean. You won't have to push it very much, just a couple wedges.
One of my mostest favoritest videos to date. Thank you for your integrity and honesty!!!
looking forward to the workshop build.
Nice upgrade in your new saw. Good strategy going with the 2 pound lighter one. I love my MS170 but got tired of cranking so for lighter tasks I went with a MSA70 battery power (I think the replacement model for the battery one you have). It’s a great little saw. (Only 12inch bar in stock) Always fun to be a blade runner! Smart lady taking some time for yourself. Your fans will stick with you while you take some me time. I always enjoy your videos. See you next time.
