David, you're a hard working man. Be proud of that, brother. I grew up just south of you. I miss eastern Washington terribly. Also, I'm glad that you both dipped your toe into the homeschooling pool. My wife and I are doing the same thing with our daughter and we'll never go back to public school. You and Kenzie keep up the good work. We need more people like you in this country.
I have an old 4x4 f350 with a turbo idi and dump box that will hold 1 cord split and tossed in with sides built up. That one cord is plenty for the 8 foot box. I would go with the f450 at a minimum with a 10 foot box as well. Good luck with everything and that’s a beautiful backdrop to work in!
David enjoyed this video of you out in the woods taking care of all the work to make a living. It's really nice to hear your visions of the future with dump box.
Another awesome video. I cannot amagine splitting the amount of wood with splitting hammer that you do. I started out in 1973 with a LaFont 7hp1 knife, then to a 8hp 1knife Lickety 1knife 4second cycle time,then in 1985 i bought a Cord King 12 way & Case1845C skid steer with a LaFont grapple. still got them and i am " hobby" cuttin' around 100-125 cords a year.no more back ache!!
Love all your videos man, so wholesome to see you out especially when you're with Kelsie or the kids. Inspiring stuff. Givin me the itch to go cut!! Cheers
Good to be back watching your videos, was gone for about a month went fishing dropped phone in lake, just got home to computer. I have to catch up on videos. I pray all is well with you and family.
I'm finally out of nevada, lol, heading to Alaska. Wish you the best. You got me wanting to cut all the time. So we found a job I can provide for my family. Love the Chanel.
dam bro, just watching you is making me jealous, lmao. but got so much family stuff going on, which is keeping me away from the bush right now. So watching you guys go hard kinda helps take the edge off for me a bit and helps me relax. Otherwise, my head feels like it's going to explode.
I admire just about everything on your videos. It was uplifting to hear that tribal game wardens are out hunting to supply healthy meat for a tribal member's funeral. And I admire the way you clean up the forest and put the dead stuff to good use. I have felled a few trees myself and the way you took down that hillside Fir, very professional, deliberate and measured. I still marvel that you are spitting with a simpe Fiskars axe. Astounding. I suppose there is a reason you don't use a splitting wedge so I would like to know more about that. By the way, I recently learned from workout specialist that wood spitting is an excellent way to keep fit and difficult to duplicate, even with sophisticated machines. You will stay healthy in body, soul and mind by doing this kind of work in the woods. Only wish I could join you for a few minutes. I fell, spit, and hauled fire wood as our only heat until I was 82 and miss it every day.
Keep up the hard work and you will get that f550. Be cool to find one with locking l pack tool box to keep all the gear on the truck and ready to roll. That my dream truck also for doing firewood
Great video and a huge tree! Hope that the dump truck works out for you, as we age the " work smarter not harder" is important and especially you with cutting such big wood. BTW" What brand of boots are you and Kelsey wearing? I've been looking for a few months and can't seem to find what I want. Thanks for sharing!!
I am new to your channel and I was wondering exactly where you were cutting northeastern Washington that area I was kind of familiar with it in the grounds I'm originally from Oregon so yeah good job that's gleaning out the woods it does nothing but help the woods it's it's a good thing all the way around 🤠😎🤠
Hello 👋 David nice lookin load . Ya talked-about getting a bigger truck that's a good thing. Everyone else that thinks dump Traylors orwhat ever is better just know one thing nothing is perfect. Be safe Love Wins.
David, try looking for an older farm truck with a hoist on it, that would get you through a couple summers of heavy cutting until you could get the ideal truck. I know exactly how you feel about pulling a trailer in the woods, I do it and it's a pain even with my small trailer.
3 cords of wood a day is pretty ambitious. I agree with the dump box on a F-550 or 450. Too bad that couldn't be a mini log truck and you could bring the logs to a landing at home and cut and split with a log splitter. Work is good, a lot of work is hard on the body in the long run.
David, love your videos. You mentioned that you used a gator aid bottle on your gas can. I have seen your video earlier about doing this type spout for a gas can but can't remember when. Would you know the name of the video you showed how to do this. Thanks and becsafe.
NL, Canada we can get a $25 domestic permits on crown land(government land) to cut what we like up to 5-13 cords, depending on area. It's all fair game but if you have to drive up a trail you didn't make to cut in a clearing, it's an unwritten rule that only one man can leave lol Not really but it's highly frowned upon. If you go in a trail you didn't cut and cut your own off that, that's fine. That's just how the paths expand. Also, we have extremely terrible ground for even skidders, sometimes.
I’m sure you’ll be getting a lot of calls for firewood the next couple of days with this cold front that rolled into the PNW. Already in the single down here near Lake Wenatchee.
David, dull chains are hard on saws. To keep it from being quite so hard on your saw you’ll want to run the tune a little fatter to keep your cylinder and piston a little cooler so that they don’t overheat and melt. It’s the same scenario as when you are milling. BUT you could always run some semi-chisel chain. It doesn’t have the same effects on the saw as when a full-chisel chain gets a little dull. Just don’t expect it to cut as fast as a full-chisel when they are both sharp.
Hey Beavers, how's the wood harvesting going? Have a favor. Could you send me a link on how you put the sodabottles on gas&oil can👁 have 2 of them, but the spouts are broken. Keep it going 👁👍👍👍what you're doing.
If you don’t mind what Tribal land do you live on and is it your Tribe? Just trying to educate myself, with all respect. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸. No Snow Just Breeze !
Hey Dave & and family, your chainsaw fuel & oil can 👁 have some jerrycan brackets to carry my 2 in 1 fuel can, and it works great.will send pics later, and I wish you and your family all the best ❤️❣️❣️❣️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤠👩🦱🐕🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
It’s a tradition thing to have a dinner after the burial of a loved one… in our beliefs it’s the passed persons last meal to help them on their journey to the afterlife… so they send hunters out to get a couple deer or an elk.
@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie you guys are killing it with your channel! So you're going to be an affiliate with a logging supply company? I'll order my stuff through you then.
That's pretty bad a** that they can give you guys permits like that to go out and cut would doubt it's so awesome and free. Permit to get your own personal. Well, that's even a bonus. Hell, yeah, keep on keeping on sincerely woodcutter. Anthony? I've given you a bunch of comments and never had a comment back. Just kind of wanting to know. You are a very good man, hard-working and a very family oriented type people I like that a lot. I would cut it down here on the PNW on gray's Harbor county.I have folks live up near republic washington

Nice work with that tree 🌳 brother dropped it right where you wanted to 👍......🤙

I thought you were going to say something about your taillight being broken off lol keep doing a great job you’re definitely a worker

Good job getting that big fir to fall just where you wanted it to fall. Super sharp chain too
I love your work, ethic and your concern for community , we need more of that , love your videos keep them comming.
Love the scenery!
Checking your back cut from the front of the tree….such a rebel…😂
Great video David, those Huskies are awesome saws

Beautiful wood work 👊 I got to do some in a week or 2

Good job. By the way your track is amazing.
We don't have a visa in Europe what model is?
I love this work. ...where is this. ...?
Nice clean work my friend 👍

Great Video!
What size saw are you using ? 32 inch bar ? good job my friend, !!
Nice pc of fir for firewood David . 😊
That is a very big tree! KC Don 😉
Wow, 80 Years to grow it and 80 seconds to drop it!
F 550 are sweet just heavy ..hope you get one
I’m sure you’ll be getting a lot of calls for firewood the next couple of days with this cold front that rolled into the PNW. Already in the single down here near Lake Wenatchee.
What a wonderful piece of wood you got there David wow be safe great video as always

That’s why I switch saws
That's some good felling brother
You learned a lesson with boot tracks, guess its competitive in firewood game. Nice job felling tree.
I was wandering if any of yur saws are ported im fairly new here and I do alot of the things that you do
Hey Beavers, how's the wood harvesting going? Have a favor. Could you send me a link on how you put the sodabottles on gas&oil can👁 have 2 of them, but the spouts are broken. Keep it going 👁👍👍👍what you're doing.
Well I commented before you mentioned about the dump trailer!!!
Good work 💪
Peaceful way to spend the day
A log truck with a cherry picker would be nice.
is a dump box a tipper
Однозначно лайк! Сколько вес топора?
4lbs
Will you tell me what the difference is between duffer and tamera is please sir 😮
can you use pipe tape on the leaking top
Firewood looks great okay
How much does a cord of wood sell for there?.

P.S.- as far as the tree you passed on,you snooze you lose.

I would not go with f550 . Go to the International thumb truck that doesn't have air breaks . With the 466 .
other Ford still a no go I guess? Damn, been busy falling way behind
Clean cut like your video's
Wheres all the snow? Its 40 below here :(
NICE TO SEE YOU TEACHING YOUR KIDS HOW TO GET FIREWOOED
Hmmm we very firewood permit i get says don't cut standing dead trees!
That’s a lot of wood for one Ute
Have you thought about a dump trailer
3 cords a day is a lot but doable.. I am happy just to get one done a day, and I have hydraulics to help with that..
Maybe two a day if your a kid but not three😂
If you can find the truck I can go Chevy though
What does hunt for funerals mean?
It’s a tradition thing to have a dinner after the burial of a loved one… in our beliefs it’s the passed persons last meal to help them on their journey to the afterlife… so they send hunters out to get a couple deer or an elk.
Get the huski non spill can, you’ll love it
