we're going to stop here and get a wood permit
at the ranger station look out for bears and Grandma's oh that's a homicide investigation I
shouldn't have made a joke about it who to call if you meat a bear Aspen and Pines that's who you
call I'll run after them suckers oh there's a bear there's a bear okay give me the camera oh jeez
shouldn't we run okay he's walking right there I don't know where he went have your
gun yeah I'm not going to in case I'm not going to get too close right there he's
running up the hill I thought you didn't like chasing after Bears well from a distance
wonder where he went that's kind of fun got the wood permit boom we got snacks tinch
chairs chainsaws the good old trusty green four- wheeler in dump trailer we used to go get wood all
the time in September because the bugs weren't bad the temperature was good the leaves were changing
it just a good time of year to go get wood so we'd go get wood every year multiple loads of wood
like eight loads and we weren't getting [ __ ] loads either they were like we had big racks on
the back of the truck and we do the thing out if you were going for wood you're going to get
a load of wood what would you do to help your dad get wood he usually cut it up and as soon as
he was cutting it I would just constantly running back and forth to the truck it was always a game
I'd always try to keep up with him cuz he cut down a tree and then cut it up and I'd be hauling it as
quick as I could and then he'd go look for another tree and I'd try to get the tree cut down done
before the other tree was down so made it a game to hurry and get it loaded cuz the quicker you
get it loaded the quicker you can stop working where cousins go with you sometimes sometimes
like sometimes like I mean when we were kids I remember like all my uncles had come we'd have
multiple trucks D to get wood and then we'd also get wood for Grandma and Grandpa so we' go load
up and make sure grandma and grandpa had plenty of wood Grandma and Grandpa needed wood for two
things but the barn you had to heat the barn and their house so we had to get a lot of wood
for them would they split the wood with a wood splitter or how would they split all that wood for
your grandparents I've never even heard of a wood splitter I got in the city country people don't
have wood splitters what we do they're called kids or yourself what do you split wood with a
mall a splitting Mall why not an axe what's the difference well an ax is typically lighter weight
and sharper a splitting Mall usually has a heavy head on on it because once you get that thing
you want to split the wood like bust through it not chop it and so a splitting ball is a little
more dull and heavy and tapers out wide like it gets you know by the end it's wide where an
ax is narrow because you're chopping so the difference between chopping and splitting is you
chop down the tree they used to with axes they needed them sharp yeah chopping you're cutting
across the grain splitting you go down the grain cuz when you're chopping the tree
the Rings go up and so you're but when you're splitting you just and that's
why you want a heavy splitting M because once you fling that thing down and it
hits the wood you want it to like rip it [Music] open so what's your favorite size
of Chainsaw so far to cut down say like a mediumsized tree here a big tree well I like if
you're cutting down a tree I like a bigger more powerful chaina so I have my farm box my steel
it's a Ms 271 so a 20in bar and then you've also got the one you hav't one it's like a 16 iner
and it's really lightweight it's a I think it's a 181 you got your 16 in so it could I got both
of them because the big ones good to cut down and through big but then the small one's easy
to like cut the branches like the when you tip it over and you got all the branches to trim off
like the little lightweight chainsaw is really nice for just bucking off all those branches
and then use the big saw to cut the through it also you got it to go on our four-wheelers
yes sometimes it's really bad if you're trying to get back to your truck and you're planning
on getting down a certain Road and you're like 2 miles from the truck and there's a tree
across and you have to backtrack that's not good we're getting into some Pines now there's
some pin now we just got to get in the dead Pines this tree has been used as a
back stop for a lot of targets that's CH that come down looks like someone
tried to cut this one and tipped it over the wrong way people have tried
cutting this one I might be able to get that one off the top like that one that
was cut up there and leaning uhhuh I could probably cut it and hook a winch
onto it so we'll get our chainsaws ready got everything I need for my chainsaw
right here I actually have an extra chain I bought some new chains this is the Husqvarna box I do like it it has a lot of room in it a lot of accessories so I got my fuel my
bar and chain oil various brushes to clean it why is that on upside down you ask well that's
because you evenly wear your chainsaw bar otherwise you'll burn out a chainsaw bar and you
have to buy a new chainsaw bar it wears unevenly because this is your cutting surface so it's got
a lot of stress on it and so what'll do is the bottom will wear out before the top and so if you
just flip the bar then you can evenly burn your bar so let's go ahead and make sure we got Bar
Oil oh that's gasoline don't mix those up gasoline towards back it's kind of like a mullet gasoline
in the back oil in the front this front up here is your bar oil always make sure you got your bar
oil with you and actually in both in both cases I have bar oil and fuel so lock that till it locks
okay to start one of these suckers you got to be careful because you can flood these pretty easily
so make sure your bar is not in the dirt there's your little throttle thing here the first time you
do it pull the trigger and it pushes all the way down and you pull this a couple of times and you
go B and like the third time you'll go you'll see hear it like roll over a couple times and then
you flip it up once and pull it and it starts so we're going to try it see no burp no burp no
burp there was the burp fourth pole flip this up [Music] I'm going up here a bit yell
timber I'm yelling timber I'm going down some archery Hunter sitting
up here like what a freaking idiot oh [Chainsaw] [Chainsaw] TIMBER! [Chainsaw] on now what that was fun well now the work
begins and there's two big quakies back here that are are dead if we wanted quaky man you
could feel a trail of that well remember we just don't like it qu I know why do you like Pine
cuz it's my name no Pine is just it burns hot and clean and it's not stinky I like the smell of
pine as it burns it's not a terrible campfire smell poppers and like deciduous trees kind of
stink when you burn have more smoke they have more smoke and kind of a sour smell like Pine
smells a little sweet Pines always smell sweet I need a hard hat [Music] I'm just going to try to pull as
many out that I can get to easily and then we'll just saw them up
right here and load them in the [Music] trailer watch out coming out of here how me bird I mean this weighs 100 lb you know oo I'm going to go back up and that tree's still
up there leaning but I can hook the Rope onto it and just pull it and I think if I pull
it away it'll just somebody cut it before and what happened somebody cut it but it went the
wrong way like they they were cutting it and they tried to get it tip this way but it was leaning
too far back so no matter what they did it just went back and it got hung up in another tree
something goes south you jump behind the tree I mean it's not foolproof but I'd rather have
a big tree between me and the log than nothing so they call them Widow makers it's beautiful up
here peaceful I I thought there'd be more deer hunters we got quite the collection of lumber
here we could build a log cabin in a week this is what we used to do we used to go up and be up
here in the mountains and yeah you work your ass off it's hard work but like these are the days you
remember these are the days I remember with my dad how many days we we go up and get wood and pigeon
water me Dad and Jean tons of wood hold out of [Music] there pull it out that's a great tree
I got up there it's it's nice and fat and dry so you thinking you're going to invent
rebar what is it called I was going to do like it's kind of like the log
ox but I think if I had a spike the stuck out and I just come up behind it and
it's got a place I can kick it down under the log and then just rock it back and it cradles it
down in and then you just tip it off when you're [Music] done that was really good I
could line them up up there but got our first any last thoughts well you don't
look like a big pile of wood till you stack it in the trailer and we'll find a couple more along
the road huh we'll take the four-way and run up the road a little bit if we can find another
tree or two yeah go for a ride that'll be fun hey knucklehead do you know
the archery deer hunt starts this weekend you're going to be in someone's freezer I don't even archery hunt you be in
my freezer Yeah scratch that itch but like you got to be careful dude archery hunt stick
flippers you standing like that you look like a damn decoy I'd say have a nice fall but I
don't think it's going to end well for you big load we went from being a
wussy load to a manly load [Applause] [Music]
