Nothing better than watching a group of guys having fun, doing a job like making firewood, that’s so clearly something they love to do and are good at. 👍
Boy that stuff splits nasty, reminds me of elm we grew up with. Burned phenomenal but boy don't try and split it. "We" meaning us 5 boys were the hydraulic splitters, oh the memories of all the blisters. Ha ha. Another great video thanks for the memories.
You should be sponsored by Kinco Gloves. I bought 3 pairs because of you recommendation. Great to see you working together and having other fun stuff that you clearly enjoy.
I actually saw some in my lical mom and pop hardware store. But they were KIDS, and too small! They didn't have adult size x_x. 9.99 for preteen sized insulated winter kincos.
Great videos of you guys out there 👍. What are the chances of some stranger inviting you out hunting and you all have a blast and probably make it a annual event. Lots of nice people in the world. Thanks for the time involved to bring us back home along. Best firewood channel on TH-cam 👍👍
I have a similar big box store splitter and a 60cc chainsaw. It's fun to see how productive you are with your fast splitters and saws...It's also impressive to see how much you can do with an average homeowner splitter! That's a lot of wood!
Gotta get firewood cut, split, qnd sold before the spring season weight limits are posted so can get the next two truckloads delivered before that cut-off time!
Your right, working together making firewood is about as good as it gets. I spent a day splitting wood with my 9 year old son running the splitter and I was stacking. It was one of the best days I've ever had with him. I'd spend evenings splitting with an axe with my other boy. Nothing better than being outside working.
It's a great time. My wife and I put on wood cutting parties with my adult children and their spouses. We buy 20 full cord at a time, make a huge pot of chili and cornbread and feed them well. 😋 Two cutting the pile, two on the splitter and two stacking. We have a great time when we all get into sync. It's amazing the amount of wood you can process in six to eight hours. Great job by all Chris thanks for the awesome videos.
I bet when they split the big rounds they put the splitter verticle instead of splitting by hand makes it easier. Looks like you and Ken had alot of fun out there. I guess you will be going out there next year again to have some more fun with hunting and doing firewood lol!
Always wondered what was the fun entertainment at the Florida Gravediggers Ball. Now I think I know! Wonder what Tony would make of all the fun and hilarity he's missing out on? Too much fun is illegal in 14 states. Now we gotta guess the other 13. The young man at the first, did he find the antlers or did the 'horn dog'? That pinYON is tough, all right, but I ran into some cottonwood that would show 'em how! Couldn't even get the steel wedge started!!! When we thot it was, take a great whack at it, if it was a little off center, the wedge would fly up to 60'. Finally gave up and cut in quarters like Chris did. And then the trying to split it began...
Thank you for sharing your adventures, I really enjoy waking up and watching the show. Is the ranch a high fence? Or just quality animals? 366 is a dream bull
Wonder how many tons the wood splitter is, I have been hauling pinon pine my whole life and it is very hard to split where there are branches. I am thinking of getting a wood splitter to make things faster, 10 ton or 27 ton???
What size is the ranch.It looks vast. The pinyon pine is a tough timber. Even Kenny had his work cut for himself cutting it. Great videos .Your hosts are awesome too.
If you were to put the splitter in the vertical position do you think it might have split those large rounds. That sledgehammer looked like a real workout even for Ryan.
Hi Chris and Kenny!!😀😀 I bet the temperature and the weather is a lot nicer down there today than it is here. LOL!! How many acres is the ranch you guys were at? Take care and stay warm!!😀😀 Logger Al
@@InTheWoodyard Did you ask about land prices, and what would the taxes be on 50k? Heck! Most of us could just go buy a big ranch, but the taxes...well... And don't forget hernia insurance, from totin' those big ol' elks and splittin' pinYON, and just sayin' pinYON! How would you like to be a UPS driver out there? Big bucks! And earn a lot of money too! You needed an Amish guide, you know, just to keep the party rollin'!
At any point in the splitting of this firewood, did you think we should have taken New Best Friend Tony's Eastonmade Axis with you? Those are some big rounds that you noodled down to size in this video.
I keep thinking while I have watched this series in New Mexico, I would like to be Jeremy's new best friend. Maybe Jeremy would like to do a whole hunt and cut firewood week next year. Western rendevou
You must feel spoiled after using the Ultra for so long. Get a custom 3in cylinder for the farm store splitters and they are about as quick as the Ultra.
No, I don't think that is Pinyon Pine. Isn't that the same tree you cut in video 549? I'm pretty sure that is Ponderosa Pine. You didn't cut any Pinyon Pine that big, because there isn't any. Look at the bark - that's a Ponderosa.
No, not really, we made the best of the tools at hand and had a good time as a team getting it done! But I ran my splitter yesterday and really put a smack down on a pile in a hurry!
FOR MIN THOUT U WARE GOING TO HOLD THE WEGE AND LET HIM HIT IT WAS THINKING OF THE OLD CARTOON U HOLD I HIT THINK IT WAS A BUGS CARTOON LOL DID HAT ONE TIME AND ATER HAND HELD UP NEVER DID THAT AGENE LOL
Efficency is a good thing, but 3 men operating/handling the same pice of wood at the same time on the same splitter ........ accident waiting to happend....... Not something I would do....

That was a really nice series of videos. Warms the cockles of your heart, that despite the crap that's going on, there are so many nice folk around.
Thanks for watching Graham!
Looks like you & Ken really enjoyed yourselves. When you're working wood, you're in your element!!!! Lol Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!!
We sure did have a good time with great people!
G’morning Chris. Nice work boys ! Thems is bigs. Splits nice ! Goodnightirene
Thanks!
And the great part of it is everybody left with all their fingers! Alot going on around the splitter 👍Great video Chris 😊
Yes! and yes!
Yes, good thing we didn't have the Ultra
Yes, good thing we didn't have the Ultra
Thanks for taking us along on the vacation. Reminds me of our antelope hunting trips in southern Wyoming. Great videos in beautiful country.
Thanks for watching Kevin!

Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, the best.
It's really nice to go across the country and see how things are done.
Yes it was a different way and kinds of wood than we are used to.
Green horns having fun, I love cutting wood too.
Yup firewood is fun to make!
What a really great experience! Thank you so much for sharing your time in the Land of Enchantment.
I sure was a great time!

Yes, an average splitter can put out a bunch of wood if you keep at it!
With Chris and Kenny feeding it, it goes really fast. Lol, who needs and Ultra we them two.
There was definitely no I in team there!! That was a prime example of team work!! Way to go guys 💪💪👍👍!! Stay safe my friend!
You got that right!
It.is amazing how much you can get done with people that know how to get things done.
It sure is nice having extra hands when it comes to splitting wood. Sure is a beautiful area
Yes and yes!
Good times Chris.. Hopefully you will be able to return next year..
Thank you for letting is tag along..😊👍
I hope so! Thanks for being here!
Great road trip guys Elk some of best meat I have eaten ,seems like two great people to hang out with really enjoyed watching.👍👍👍🇺🇸
We did have a great trip, and yes they where!
Gotta get firewood cut, split, qnd sold before the spring season weight limits are posted so can get the next two truckloads delivered before that cut-off time!
Yup, get busy cuttin'.
I almost seen the rings on the pinyon pine. Great videos from New Mexico. nice elk as well!
Thanks Dan!
Today is my Mothers Birthday, Jan. 6th. who passed away in 2014 at the age of 97 years young, Good Night Grace ! 💘💘💖💖💝💝

Glad you enjoyed it,we sure did!
Nice load of wood. I bet you and Ken were sad to see it all end! I would say you had a successful trip Chris. 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yes, we would have stayed a lot longer if we could have!
Just doing what comes natural and having a good time , doesn't get better than that !
Nope, it was great!
Wish I knew you were out there in New Mexico would of loved to meet you and Ken
Maybe next time!!
Oh man you don't get to see much ponderosa pine that size any more. Nice load of pinion. Cutting pine strings, oh yeah love that smell
Yup, it was a big one! Yup the smell was awesome!
I bet when they split the big rounds they put the splitter verticle instead of splitting by hand makes it easier. Looks like you and Ken had alot of fun out there. I guess you will be going out there next year again to have some more fun with hunting and doing firewood lol!
We would love to go again!
You never know.
All i can say is bravo 👏 looks like the best job u ever had
Yup, it was that!
Looks like you had a great time!
It was a blast!
Thanks to all for sharing your adventure. Safe travels. GNI
Thanks Larry!
Yes sir, we had a great time
Are those woodpecker or bug holes in the bark? Thanks for showing just what a box store splitter is fully capable of!👍🔥👍🔥
I would guess wood peckers.
The Beatles make a small hole and the.birds make it bigger
@@jeremysmith6863 Thanks...Sure could tell something was working on them.👍

Ryan did really find the elk antlers! Yes some cottonwood especially if it is dry can be very hard to split!!!
Have a safe trip home!!
Thanks for watching Jack!
that has to be the biggest pinon tree ever!🤣
It is a good one!
Thank you for sharing your adventures, I really enjoy waking up and watching the show. Is the ranch a high fence? Or just quality animals? 366 is a dream bull
If you noticed or not, but the bull he shot crossed railroad tracks, so id say it was free range not on a fenced yard.
Free range quality animals on a private ranch. Yup, beyond my dreams!
Yup wide open spaces!
Very very cool and another great video. My wife thinks I'm crazy for tuning in every day, keep it up Chris!
Lol, my wife and youngest son say the same thing. It's like a drug.
That sledgehammer was a good concept, but didn't look like you could swing it for long. Have a Safe Day
HA! It was VERY heavy!!!
Wonder how many tons the wood splitter is, I have been hauling pinon pine my whole life and it is very hard to split where there are branches. I am thinking of getting a wood splitter to make things faster, 10 ton or 27 ton???
I would recommend a 20 ton or more for almost all wood. Good luck.
@@InTheWoodyard thanks for the advice.
Awesome video!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
What size is the ranch.It looks vast. The pinyon pine is a tough timber. Even Kenny had his work cut for himself cutting it. Great videos .Your hosts are awesome too.
It is over 50,000 acres. And yes they are great people!
Chris and Kenny are wood animals. Very much appreciated the help.
Looks like some solid wood should make great heat
It does!
Great video. Looks knotty like spruce I split but looks alot harder to.
Yes, very similar!
If you were to put the splitter in the vertical position do you think it might have split those large rounds. That sledgehammer looked like a real workout even for Ryan.
We could have but it was much faster with the four of us the way we did it, we all had a job to do.
It’s a good idea person doesn’t have power working on your knees you guys have it figured out
Chris awesome pinyon pine sir. does your friends on this video own all this property that you're getting all this wood from?
He is the ranch manager.
That's a hard working crew
We had a lot of fun too! Thanks for watching!
Where these trees are these private property or public property they just cut down dead trees?
Private property.
It's a tough way to make a living.
4 man hours for every hour on the clock.
It's is hardwood, glad you were able to gain the experience, it was worth.
Yes, but it was fun!
Hi Chris and Kenny!!😀😀
I bet the temperature and the weather is a lot nicer down there today than it is here. LOL!!
How many acres is the ranch you guys were at?
Take care and stay warm!!😀😀
Logger Al
Yes, it was 10-30 in the morning and by noon it was 60 ! It is over 50,000 acres.

Great job men! Them nots do put up a struggle dont they
Yes they do!!!!
Best job they ever had! ;) drive safe going home
Yes it was, thanks Sammi!
I heard that pinon pine was in trouble, are there diseases or bugs running all through them?
No, I do not think so, there where m]not a lot of dead ones. It was very very dry out there, drought might have killed them.
@@InTheWoodyard
True, it has been dry.
I would say most of them have a certain amount of bugs. When the trees get really dry, they can't fight off the bugs therefore they die.
Good morning everyone
Hello Sir Stanley!
Nice pile of wood there fellas. The maul and wedge job didn't look like much fun!! Are they burning the wood on the ranch? Outdoor boiler? GNI
Yes we got a bunch done. Most of it was for Jeremys father in law, he heats with wood.
My father-in-law was very happy today when I showed up with a full cord.
@@jeremysmith6863 you definitely had some good help !
That stuff is like elm!
Yes, it is!
That kid sure ain't scared to swing a maul. Dad trained him well. -Dave
Yes, for a 19 year old he is a heck of a good worker!
I'd be very proud of him as my son
Thanks Dave, you guys are going to make me shed a tear.
@@jeremysmith6863 I'll send you a tissue! HA!
@@InTheWoodyard lol
At any point in the splitting of this firewood, did you think we should have taken New Best Friend Tony's Eastonmade Axis with you? Those are some big rounds that you noodled down to size in this video.
No, not really, we did good with the equipment we had.
That gasoline for the splitter was not wasted. Every cycle was effective.
Yup, with a team it is very efficient!
You should’ve brought the Ultra with you.
That would have been a long haul with it!
Why is there 2 split piles in today’s video?
Looks like a great split type of a party.
One pile for ponderosa one for pinyon.
Yup, exactly!
We separated the pinyon and the ponderosa pine.
As my best friend used to say before he passed, "It's not work. It's hanging out!"
Nice, I like it!
That is exactly right. Chris and Kenny are some of the best people I have ever been around
Will the splitter work vertical?
Sure, but with 4 guys this was much faster.
I keep thinking while I have watched this series in New Mexico, I would like to be Jeremy's new best friend. Maybe Jeremy would like to do a whole hunt and cut firewood week next year. Western rendevou
Yes, I think he could have a whole bunch of new best friends!
Lol, just paying it forward.
@@jeremysmith6863 You guys are awesome for doing this. You sure do have some beautiful country.
How long were you there for?
Just a week.
I think there needs to be a Eastonmade there 😜👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
That would be nice!! Maybe next time!!
Lol, maybe I should ask Andrew if he likes elk hunting 🤔 🤣
@@jeremysmith6863 That is possible!!!!!!!
Someone needs to get a Wolfridge log splitter
Maybe some day, but it will be an Eastonmade!
Yes, I would lean towards an Eastonmade. Do you have a wolfridge?
@@jeremysmith6863 no not yet I’m still debating but I do know whatever I get is going to have a Honda on it
The fellas made a pile o wood.
Thanks, we sure did!
What's the moisture of the pine trees
Not sure, dry - about 99%! HA! It was ready to burn ...now!
👍🏻MMmmm firewood and Elk meat ! As good as it gets !
You got that right!
👍😁
Thanks Dan!
I need to get me one of them hide rolick finger mashers.😉
Ha, yes they can do that!
👍
Thanks!
Is this the new best friend?
@@jeremysmith6863 No different Tony, He does not comment....yet.
🤘
Thanks Jeff!
You must feel spoiled after using the Ultra for so long. Get a custom 3in cylinder for the farm store splitters and they are about as quick as the Ultra.
Yes I am, but his splitter did the job!
Would you charge more for this?
For the pinyon? Yes, it is hard to come by in volume. And it is great wood!
That's what we like to see...4 Woodaholics getting a work out !!!!!!!
Yup, it was a great day and a fantastic week out there!
Yes, it was fun.
No, I don't think that is Pinyon Pine. Isn't that the same tree you cut in video 549? I'm pretty sure that is Ponderosa Pine. You didn't cut any Pinyon Pine that big, because there isn't any. Look at the bark - that's a Ponderosa.
You are partly correct, the first pile was Ponderosa but the last pile from the trailer was Pinyon. Good catch!
They need an x27!
Yup!!!
Yes, I asked Chris what the model was. I will get one soon.
You we’re really missing your Easton made weren’t you…
No, not really, we made the best of the tools at hand and had a good time as a team getting it done! But I ran my splitter yesterday and really put a smack down on a pile in a hurry!
U AND YOUR BUDDY SHOULD SAVE UP AND BYE HIM A MALL
I already sent him one.
FOR MIN THOUT U WARE GOING TO HOLD THE WEGE AND LET HIM HIT IT WAS THINKING OF THE OLD CARTOON U HOLD I HIT THINK IT WAS A BUGS CARTOON LOL DID HAT ONE TIME AND ATER HAND HELD UP NEVER DID THAT AGENE LOL
Yup, that would be bad!
They need a axysis
I am sure he would like one!
😀😀
After that spitting session a couple of cold ones would be real nice .
Yup!
It's not work when you enjoy what you are doing
Yup!
What a great rack. 👍
Yes it was!
looks like ponderosa to me not pinion.
Yup, if you watch the whole video, we did split some pinyon too.
It ain't no eastonmade!
No, but it works and got the job done.
Lol, you never know, Andrew might see the video and feel sorry for me.????
Efficency is a good thing, but 3 men operating/handling the same pice of wood at the same time on the same splitter ........ accident waiting to happend....... Not something I would do.... I love the idea of working together as a team, but in my world, the guy controlling the piston moving fwd is also the guy who holds the log 🙂
We have a good system.
Splitting wood has long as we have, I felt totally safe
But I totally understand what you are saying.
