@robertholcomb3364 thanks man , I know that you know exactly how I'm feeling. We got a mic but it was junk.

@ if you need anything let us know

@Adventures-with-Phil Man is that cool. I like hearing people's family stories. What area did he worh in? My grandad rest his soul, was a logg truck driver for years around Sweet Home Oregon.

@@chainsawjedi My grandfather grew up in Ontonagon, Michigan in the U.P. and worked in the woods there in his older teenage years. Then he moved to Ely, MN in 1946 to work in the woods there. He worked in remote logging camps skidding with horses near the town site of Forest Center, MN which is no longer there. Forest Center was a town from 1943-1965 set up by Tomahawk Timber Company from Wisconsin. Both sides of my family moved here in the 40's and early 50's to log here. The U.S. government turned the entire area into a roadless wilderness in 1964 and kicked everyone out, 1 million acres. Whatever wasn't moved, the forest service either buried, burned or threw in the lakes. The area is now called the BWCA, boundary waters canoe area and they advertise it as an untouched wilderness and try to erase the history of the area, a whole bunch of manufactured B.S. Logging was officially banned in 1978. Anyways my grandfather continued to log outside the man-made wilderness until 2000. After horses he bought a cable skidder which I believe was a Tree Farmer. He logged with that same yellow skidder from the mid 1960's until 1999. He was paid for how much wood he could cut and not by the hour. In his last year, his boss supplied him with a grapple skidder and wanted him to run as fast as the 20 year olds and pay him hourly. His boss was 30 years younger and had inherited the business from his uncle and it was a sh_t move after all those years my grandpa had worked and taught the nephew about how to log here, so that's why he retired. My grandpa still lives in his own house by himself now at age 96. I could write a book, but that's a brief start. Thanks for your interest. If you look under the playlist tab on my channel I found a slide show of pictures of what Forest Center was like. It's the only video under logging right now, thanks. Phil

@Adventures-with-Phil That's an awesome bit of history 👌 you can tell that old logger that this young timber feller appreciates all the hard work he put in over the years. Always love hearing from you Phil. 👍

@@chainsawjedi My grandpa also served in the military between WWII and the Korea War. The first time he was on leave, he went home to see his parents in Ontonagon and he got there and they were gone and had moved near Potlatch, Idaho. He had no money and hitchhiked from the U.P. to Idaho. Several instances of going 2-3 days not eating anything. He spent a couple weeks working for an uncle who ran a sawmill and they were just about to work on a log drive on the Clearwater River in Idaho when my grandpa's oldest brother came along and asked him to drive a car back to Ely, MN for him so he did and left, so he never did drive logs. Eventually my grandpa's mom and some siblings moved near Yakima, Washington. My grandpa has been out west several times but I have not. A younger brother of my grandpa just passed away at age 90 in December in Colville, Washington. So we've had a connection with the Pacific Northwest since the late 40's.

@Adventures-with-Phil Sir, your grandfather is a GREAT AMERICAN! 🇺🇲 🦅 I THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE! 🦅

What should we do with that old saw? 🤔

​@@chainsawjediMy comment kept getting deleted. Sorry for the convoluted message. Merry Christmas!

@Adventures-with-Phil Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ And thank you for your support, Phil!

@@Adventures-with-Phil is it one for forward and three for back?

@gusmanson5105 Using it to catch another big one. Didn't want any chance of the next but to make over that stump

@@chainsawjedi th-cam.com/video/JB4_V6oH8iQ/w-d-xo.html Don't feel bad. "Others" leave too much holding wood and have to double stack on 5' diameter trees too! Stuff happens. Be safe.
