Trying out the speed-line method, these limbs were 16 to 18 feet long. The little Dewalt did good, wish I had used a gauge when I filed the rakers on chain.

Hey! How's it going?
@@LongsQuest all good dude. Finishing up the fair weather projects before the snow in couple months (Hopefully).
Looks like you got yourself the makings of some fine cedar posts. I am worn out myself from watching! I remember when this type of work was fun! LOL!
Had to cut most of it up to short, too old to throw that stuff around like we could back in the day. Hope y’all are doing well.
I enjoyed that video it must have been a hell of a wind those were some big trees glad everyone is ok 👍✌
Yea, it looked like the wind was much worse there than at my house. The property is a bit more north of where I live. I appreciate you watching.
Glad nobody was hurt and you all survived
@@kristingrounds4163 Basically missed us compared to what happened up north. Hope all is well.
🖐😎👍
@@canajian 👋
lol that song at the begining is how i feel some days, lol i see time is catching up to you too, you used to run up and down those trees now you hobble up & down take care bud 😊✌
@erniescabin4256 Thanks, Ernie. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Sure, I'll be seeing you soon.
Slow is SMOOTH AND SMOOTH IS FAST....absolutely cannot stand rushing..America 🇺🇸 is in a big hurry to go nowhere...truly lost..woke up after chiping dragging brush all day on mountains...to this video GOD BLESS...stay safe..your song is exactly how I feel 😢😂..I seen a guy useing a wild country ropeman...rope grab to lower limbs it has little pull tab so you can one hand 🖐 them..not sure but don't believe it will fit 16 strand or half inch ropes so you would need thinner line but works thinking of trying it..do to it's small size be easy to carry ..being older after 30 years of work I like light weight anything...
I have a couple Ropeman-1's that I usually use for asindeng, I'll check out the rope grab. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Be Safe.
@@LongsQuest a guy used the ropeman to rig down maple limbs then pulled thectab as release on it..much easier then figure 8
@Sethhaun78 Thanks, I'll check that out.
Your video hit the spot ..have liver issues and entire body hurtss..everytime I try to hire these young guys just get me hurt they don't understand.
Thank you again, Steth. Hope you find someone wanting to stick with the trade and wanting to learn. These days you have to say put down that phone and pay attention too often. 🤣
Bs video explain instead of having us watch
@bridgetblackshear5991 First, let me start off by thanking you for watching; it sounds like you watched through the full video. My channel never claims to be a “how to do,” it is “How I did it.” If seeing the video with each of the steps I took to install a generator in a small building; exhaust, ventilation, and security did not help give you any ideas. It's possible you do not possess the mechanical aptitude to do something like this. So, I strongly recommend you seek out someone qualified to do it for you. Again, thank you for watching.
Nice job from one rookie to another!
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
One more down. Ya got to love a chain. At least you didn't have to climb back down to get the wrench.
@chickenwiththefryes5867 Sure am glad the wife was out there .
Dang chain
what a rookie, right. 😏Thanks for checking it out. Hope all's well up there.
Ingenious! Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks for checking it out, hope you come up with something better.
what holster is that?
Blackhawk Serpa Sportster, It has been good for me. Thanks for watching.
@@LongsQuest thankyou, I’m guessing this fits the 1911 gov’t & clones? Also are there any magazine holders that support this 22?
@@exno.1725 I think the od of the 22lr mag is the same as the .45, recommend you verify that though.
@@LongsQuest Thank you, I have only just gotten this firearm and was wondering if it will fit any 5" .45 holster? if not are there any others holsters?
@@exno.1725 I think the Sig 1911 22lr is a full frame, what I understood, it was a replica of the original 1911's. It seems like I read GSG actually manufactured these for Sig. It looks like parts for the GSG and the SIG are interchangeable but I'm not 100% on that, sure would not want to tell you something wrong. I do know it's a inexpensive and fun plinker.
Thank you for sharing it! We provide the matching camo because many hunters told us they want that! We will keep listening to hunters to make changes!
Thank you
Nice review Skip!! That deer blind is something else! Really nice!
It sure is! Thanks for watching.
Good looking blind! You know it must be good when Chris from eastwindfarms shows up in the comments 😁👍
You got that right! I appreciate you stopping by.
pretty slick😊👍

Great review, Skip!! What a cool pop up blind, the quiet features are really well designed.

Enjoyed the video!!
John, long time no see. Thanks for watching, hope you are doing well.
DO NOT USE THE VHF SHORTING STRAP! on this antenna it cuts VHF performance
I have another one, I'll try that, thanks.
Guess what. ? I just found myself in the same situation. I'm going to have to fabricate a bracket to mount a Bruno scooter lift jr. Want to build some for me ? I'm disabled and can't climb up in the truck to do it. I can do all the fab work just don't have the equipment to do so and or anyone to even help me do it. Bunch of sad people around me. Great video Good job man.
Thank you, do you live in the Columbia SC area?
Good video! Thank you for sharing! We look forward to your reviews after the season!
Thanks, Turkey season is over but, hopefully I will get in some hog hunting this year.
Good job on the review 👍
I really apricate you watching.
Nice I will have to look into this. Good review. Hope y'all are doing well.
Thanks! You too!
🖐😎👍
Hey !
I enjoyed watching this, great review!
Hey, Thanks for watching. Hope all is well with you and the family.
I had a similar issue with the drill/tap combo. We used them at work. Fine if you are using them in a mag drill or drill press with a reversing chuck for threading. Not so great in a hand drill, had exact same issue you did, sucker snapped off in the hole.
They have a good idea but, I think it needs a bit more space between the drill bit and tap. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome job man. How has the pex held up from freezing? Im also concerned about mice. I have a cabin in upstate NY and its time to redue the plumbing from the copper thats there. Just still undecided but springs coming and I need to make a decision haha.
No problems yet, but I do use RV antifreeze in the pipes when I'm away for the week. Mice could be a problem, no problem yet. I used hardware cloth to cover the vented bottom of the box the water heater and pump are installed in.
@LongsQuest cool man. Thanks for the input 👍🏻 I think im going pex route. It is easier to repair regardless if there is an issue. And yeah rv antifreeze is a must ! If I remember I will keep you posted on how it goes!
Watt kind of fan is that
iLiving ILG8SF10V - 10" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation, 820 CFM, 1200 SQF Coverage Area (Power Cord Not Included) from Amazon, have had no problems with it.
So the question is, was it worth the time and money? Cheers!
Well, I had to replace the spring guide anyway, so the full-length spring guide was worth what I paid for the kit. I did eventually put the screw back in but hope to have more time to shoot and compare with and without the screw a little more. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@LongsQuest I’m going to buy the whole kit as well for my GSG 1911 22. Thanks for the info. Cheers!

Hey!
Need a little more info instead of look at what I can do video. Times, temp...the important shit not what kind of music you like.
First let me say thank you for watching, I really do appreciate it. You even commented; thanks again. After your critique, I stopped by your channel and was surprised to see these video's. th-cam.com/video/m5D3YSMssnc/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KM6JyCgW_0M/w-d-xo.html Hey, maybe next time you watch a video you “need to clear your mind, and just think of fun”. We all express ourselves in our own way, let’s just leave it at, you do you and I’ll do me.
Not good on your ropes letting them fall with the tree.
And I have no idea why I did, I could have just pulled it out. Thanks for pointing that out.
Nice and simple great setup, take care😊👍
Thanks, you too!
Very nice video, I really enjoyed it. I was wondering if the upgrade increased accuracy? Mine (stock GSG) shoots great at 7 to 10 yards but at 15 yards it starts shooting all over the place. If that upgrade would help improve the accuracy I would definitely do it but I'm afraid I'll buy them and it wont really shoot any better. If it were just the parts I would do it, but mine is the "California" edition where you have to send it in to ZR Tactical for some welding because the barrel isn't threaded.
I like the extended spring guide, but I did end up reinstalling the barrel screw; barrel had a bit of wiggle. If or when I do another upgrade it will be sights. I wish I saved the info on some I just about got; they were still with fiber optic inserts. I believe they would be more bang for the buck. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@LongsQuest i use Dawson Fiber optic sites on my Colt 1911 and really like them.

The above wood cutting skills are extraordinary
Thanks, I appreciate you watching and commenting,
So what was the purpose of speedlining and lowering the limbs, there was nothing under u and could have cut everything and dropped straight down?? Definitely got to get u a good top handle saw if you going to stay in the tree climbing.
Speed lining leaves the limbs all aligned on the ground so it is easier to hook up to them and drag off. Keeps the limbs from pilling up at the base of the tree on your rope, and I just wanted to try it out. I would love to have the DeWalt 60 volt TH or the Stihl MS201T C-M. $700.00+ is too hard to justify for a DIYer home owner processing a few problem trees in my yard and out at our cabin, it's tempting, but I think I'll keep using my little saw I got for doing trail maintenance. You look familiar, are you a professional tree guy? I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I do know for sure that the dang pots, pans and dishes will freeze solid in the sink of a pop-up camper up there! 😂
We know that for sure.
Must have some awful nightmares.
I did, every time I thought of how much the quote was from tree guy.🤣 Decided to do it myself, it sure has been fun. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Those saws need some dawgs, you know little teethe things where the bar meets the body of the saw. Makes for much better saw control and cut accuracy.
@@Jcozz The 60 volt has dawgs but it's around $700.00. If I did this as a business I think it would be a must. Thanks for watching.
Great job and it is so nice we don;t have to do this in Arizona
Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate it.
Badass work!!! Most people wouldn’t agree with the saw, but hey gotta start somewhere 🤙🏽
Yeah, the 20v DeWalt would not do for someone doing this as a business but it's what I had for trail maintenance and is good enough for a DIYer. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yea, we only have about two weeks total of freezing.
George !! Thanks for stopping by
Nice job - Skip👍 How cold is the weather going to be?
It dropped down to 17F but today it's back up to 76F. Got to love South Carolina. Thank you for always watching and commenting. I hope you have a great weekend.
Great video my friend you definitely got the skills and the correct tools for the job. 👍💯
Stephen !! Thanks for checking it out. Hope you are doing well.
How long have you been climbing. You make it look easy.
Back in my teens I did some rock climbing, 45 years later I decided that I would like to tackle a few problem trees I had at home and our cabin. Man, I wish I would have started this when I was younger. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing. I started using a speedline last year. I will incorporate using a hitch cord to keep tension on the speedline like you did. I'm 68 and love tree work.
Thanks for watching, it has been fun. I wish I had tried this out back when I when I was younger. Stay safe.
@@LongsQuest - i agree, i really like the prusik for adjusting that rigging rope. great idea!
@@rtgirard I think it worked well. Thanks for watching.
