Chris your level of planning and procedures around your yard is next level!! I try my best but usually wind up doing things again. I’d say most days I am better off just not thinking so much and enjoying being outside!
Chris you always seem to have a plan that includes where the next couple of loads of logs are going to start out and end up as finished stacked firewood. I'd say it's working out pretty well for you. I never get tired of watching your stand up and saw style. GNI
Whoops! Left out my ol Stihl 460 Magnum with the interchangeable 25 in. 36 in bars. Sometimes the Tree guys drop off a couple of 48 in. White or Red oaks. Can't have any jealously among the girls. Lol
@@InTheWoodyard amen brother! I'm with you. I have been watching your channel for the last couple weeks now and have an idea where you are located. I have a few friends in the Appleton Oshkosh area. I'm in Warrens Wisconsin right now. I love the outdoors and enjoy having coffee and watching you every morning. I've been in construction the last 30 years, live out of my motorhome parking from jobsite to jobsite all over the lower 48. I just turned 52 last month and have been wanting to start a firewood business. So thanks for the inspiration.
In this video { Husky tearing up wood pile }. looked like you cut a lot of the smaller rounds very short of 16" were they for smoking wood, or just the way it looked on camera?
Chris, a very productive day in the wood yard! Lots of hard work and dedication, but it all pays off in the end! Nice pile of Cherry you got there along with that hickory and maple. Hopefully you have someone that can turn those.burls and you will make some money off of it!
I've got to get me a big boy saw but I really enjoy my little 51 and 365. Recently got a 450 for Father's day. These saws are impressive little beasts and with the 20 in. bars I can tackle up to a 32 in. round easily. Also with the Dremel and the new diamond bits I ordered from Amazon they eat though the log faster than 10 hungry beavers on a beech tree!
Chris you and I both know it is the man not the machine. You plan, cut, split, stack. The saw is in your hands and you know what your doing. ...Good Job.....GNI......
Purchased my 1st Husqvarna saw yesterday AM. The 460 Rancher with the 24" bar. Planned to spend a few hours cutting rounds from the lower section of an old downed ash tree at a neighbor's house down the road. On my 4th cut the chain hit a metal object about 20" deep into cut. Bye bye sharp chain! Hopefully I can bring the chain back to life. Forgot to grab the necessary tools to sharpen this chain and grab an extra chain. A tad heartbreaking! Or maybe I should have grabbed 3 saws instead of 1! ......Well maybe some day.
Hey Chris. Were your saws sharpened with your new EzzDoo diamond bits in this video? If so did you notice if they were any sharper then when you use the Oregon stones? Dave
Agree on the length of time it takes to learn trees too. It’s too much information to download all at once! Plus the two stroke exhaust tends to affect my memory 🤪🤣
Hi Chris. I was wondering if you could tell me what video you had the questioner for your customers in. I was needing something like that. Thanks for all the helpful tips
Yes, I usually start with my oldest saw only so that I remember to use that one fist again after sharpening so they all cool down between cutting and sharpening.
It’s good to see you working on next season’s supply. I’m hoping you don’t run out because you are behind schedule. Maybe more help from Ken? That’s always entertaining.
Enjoyed the video. I remember when working at the sawmill if hickory sat on the yard too long when you went to saw it an rolled the Log on the mill the bark came off the whole log in one big piece. Take care Chris!
I live in Australia, we don't get snow here but I tell ya mate, I love the cold and I wished I was there withya cutting up those logs with the husky, Cheers from across the pond, australia
Chris, thanks for the inspiration! We moved back to MS from central PA and it is a balmy 19 this morning. A good day to start a channel and get outdoors! Stay Tuned- bar-N ranch coming soon!
Chris about how many acres of your wood yard is storing wood? I’m not a big fan of cutting piled wood myself. I would drag them out individually and cut them. I’ve had saws over heat before in the summer.
Nice video Chris. Good to see you love Husqvarna too. Yes, it is a lot of work but most of us wood guys love to be out cutting especially in the winter. Keep up the good work!
My worst downfall is at the end of the day...All I can focus on is the little that I didn't get cut and never even see the massive mound that was...Thanks for the video and have a great weekend!
Lmbo Chris you made my wife's day. She about fell off the couch when she heard your comment about your wet thongs. She wants to know what color. Omg it was a priceless reaction.
Boy, you weren't kidding when you said Black Locust is green! I bought a 1/2 face yesterday of Ash/Maple mix, to replace what 'Ive been burning. There are quite a few pieces of locust in there, too. Never seen it split like that in person before- it's quite striking, isn't it? An odd shade of greenish yellow. Utterly different from the Honey Locust I'm used to, which is hi-liter yellow with a reddish, honey brown center. I'd love to get a piece of that milled for table or counter tops- that'd look SHARP! I've found it relatively easy to differentiate between species of firewood. Once it's been identified. Oak has long coarse grain, with tiny spots or pores in it, while Maple has a very fine grain. When it's split- esp from dead standing, you get nice smooth surfaced pieces. It's rock hard, too and the pieces clink like chunks of ceramic when dry and knocked together. Ash also has long fibers, and darker stripes from the rings. When fresh split, it has a pleasant sour-sweet smell. It can split smooth like maple- or it can be kinda stringy. Wood ranges from very slight tan to butter colored. Green and black Ash are totally different, but I have yet to get any in my woodyard. The black is MUCH softer than the White Ash most of us know as "Ash". Beech is easy- if you have bark to look at. Otherwise, it's pretty similar to other off-white woods. It is heavy and dense, though so that can help. The smoothbark hickory (pignut) I have is easy: Shell-like bark, off white wood with a dark brown center, long stringy looking fibers, and it's smelly! Like sour mulch. I have 2 facecords of mixed green hickory, cherry and sugar maple drying on the patio, and when it gets wet, or the temp rises, you can really smell the hickory and cherry!
Yes, all good wood ID! It takes time to learn them and there are things to look for that help, the variety of wood makes it interesting, they all cut different too!
I kneel down can't be bending my back all day like that. The worst is when you cut a little branch and a chunk gets thrown from the bottom of the chain into your knee. Or when splitting and a piece hits your shin.
Chris i watch you everyday, you work so hard, so simple man and sharing your experience. Thank you i learn a lot by you channel. I think you need to try a jacket with a "softshell" fabric, in single layer ( no lining) style. this is very breathable clothe and it really help to work wihout become wet. very simple clothe but very effective. With this jacket type, your body dries while you work. try it!
Adding to the confusion is the fact that there are regional differences in available wood as well as regional differences on what something is called. Are these saw sharpened with the new yellow EZZ tool?
Hi Chris, I love your Video's and attitude and the longer they are the better. Your like a fine tuned machine! I'm very impressed how everything is so well thought and carried out. I'm 73 years young at the present time and am no longer able to make firewood. It's great your being on TH-cam it brings back some really great memories. I worked in a now abandoned wood yard in southern Georgia for many years and cut, split and stacked a lot of wood. The only saws we ever used were Reds. I had 3-90 Reds I used, and was a great saw at the time! When you cut, it brings back memories of the great smell of fresh cut wood. Keep up the great work and keep the video's coming!
Morning Chris, nice cutting’ I’ve thought that the log pile would be easier to cut if it was scattered around. Now, you have those cat-like reflexes , but for the rest of us, guys that are hesitant to get a truck load of logs, if they have the room, if the driver would place them randomly, cut around the perimeter getting the low hanging fruit, gather rounds, adjust logs keep cutting, seems pretty safe, not much of a chance for the log avalanche, Take care
There are some good books for identifying trees. The best ones show you leaves bark nuts or fruit and lumber for the grain and uses. I have one that is the best to identify in my area. Mostly the Midwest. There very interesting and worth getting. Peace
Hey Chris, "Good morning Irene "really enjoy your channel. It's addictive. Getting ready to start my woodyard. Retired..... Can't and don't want to sit still. Hopefully I can sell the firewood!!! I have a chap question for you. I have the awesome Husqvarna chaps however they are too warm even in yesterday's 2° weather. What brand/model are the chaps you wear? I like the idea of them not wrapping around and less straping? TIA
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you. Ordered the Forester basic chaps, they look to be minimal with just the 2 straps. Have the tan color coming, hoping they don't draw the heat.
I watched several of your videos and it seems like you love to touch the wood a lot and work your back. If you enjoy the exercise go for it. My goal is to only touch the wood once with my hands.
Another great video, can you in one of your videos pull tape measure out and measure several of your logs just to see how close you are at 16". You make it look so easy and so fast let's see how good you are, or how close you are.
Impressive productivity, as always, and good explanation and reminders on your thought process. But I see another commenter also wondering if you really wear a cotton T shirt while you work?? If you do, you definitely need to upgrade your gear to wear a synthetic moisture wicking base layer under your fleece. I have used them along with other high quality gear to layer up or down based on my activity and wind/weather conditions. Your outer layers in the videos look to be good quality gear for cold weather work and hunting. But, if you wear cotton against your skin, you’re at risk of more than being sweaty and uncomfortable. Hypothermia can sneak up on you because your sweat can create a heat pump-like drain on your body temperature. Sweat trapped in your base layers returns to skin contact and your body expends energy and heat to drive it away, then the cycle repeats. Distance runners, cyclists, cross country skiers and all those actively working outdoors in the winter need gear that moves the moisture away from their skin. Hypothermia can create mental confusion and loss of balance…a dangerous combo when running a saw in the woods and walking around wood rounds and piles. Cathartt Force line of clothing works quite well as a sweat wicking base layer. As do most synthetic blend thermals.
@@InTheWoodyard I thought that was likely given the high quality of the outer garments you wear…Keen boots and what appears to Sleeping Indian guide series camo wool jacket. But I have a friend that complained about freezing on stand after hiking in wearing high end Browning parka and bibs. I asked about his base layers and found out they were old school cotton thermals and T shirt.
You sir are one working maniac. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’re lucky. You’re a very hard worker and have earned everything.
Thanks bob, I like to work!

Thank you Chris. It's really helpful when you cut and split to point out what species you're working with. Learning a ton from you!
Thanks, lots of more good stuff to come.
WOW Chris.....so many decisions to make.....better call Tony for advice....haha
HA! He does have good advice!
Whoops! Left out my ol Stihl 460 Magnum with the interchangeable 25 in. 36 in bars. Sometimes the Tree guys drop off a couple of 48 in. White or Red oaks.

Some where, but not all.
Wondering if you use more aggressive chains on the saw or standard of the shelf?
I use Husqvarna and Oregon chains right out of the box but I do sharpen really good and take the rakers down to.
I've fallen behind again😟. It's Monday afternoon and I'm watching Saturday's video. Better late than never I suppose!
Thanks Chris!

@@InTheWoodyard what about longevity? I saw on your next video the shaft bent on one? Maybe not all they are cracked up to?

I don't, just the usual stuff.
Always leave it to Chris to make me feel like a lazy bum! :)
Ha! You are not lazy, you cut firewood!
"I have got to go in and change my thong" LOL I love it. I had to go back and see if I heard that right. Wet thongs are apt to crawl. LOL

Hi Chris. I was wondering if you could tell me what video you had the questioner for your customers in. I was needing something like that. Thanks for all the helpful tips
I am not sure what you are asking, If you mean my order form It was a bout a year ago.
Better have a chat with the guy that stacked the cherry there. Can't afford to have mistakes like that. LOL
The "professional" who stacked that should be spanked!
Would you ever consider getting a firewood bucket for your tractor?
Yes some day!
What kind of hickory do you get there? Pignut or mostly shagbark? How much per load do they charge
Shag bark and bitter nut.
When you are using your three saws, do you start with the same one every time? Wondering if you preferred one over another.
Yes, I usually start with my oldest saw only so that I remember to use that one fist again after sharpening so they all cool down between cutting and sharpening.
Were you upset about the maple being mixed in? Seems like the hickory was a bonus.
No, not at all, it happens. And yes hickory was a good thing!
Gave it hell today Chris good job lot of work for one person! Going out tomorrow morning to get some wood in !
Have fun!

Use your chain brake. The position and hold must be firm enough to support the saw.
Thanks for the tips, I have only been using a chain saw every day now for a short time now. 45 years or so.
@@InTheWoodyard I'm sure if you keep practicing , you'll learn a few tips ! Good rookie start though ........

Glad you like them!
Chris about how many acres of your wood yard is storing wood? I’m not a big fan of cutting piled wood myself. I would drag them out individually and cut them. I’ve had saws over heat before in the summer.
JPF...The way you use your saws is part of the problem.
I'm not surprised that they overheat.
@@cliffnieporte7817 Dull saws always work harder and overheat fast.
I have 4 but only use about 1 1/2 for the wood yard.
Epic day of cutting.. they got names for people like you 1st thing that comes to mind - Saw Slayer, slinging some lengths
Ha! I call it another day of work.
If you are running out of wood this year you don't have time not to keep cutting and stacking. Really good day today!
That is correct!
Chris, you are one hell of a worker!!! Damn animal on that saw!!!! How many log trucks do you order a year?? Thanks
I think last year i cut 12or 13.
Chris- How long do you normally get out of a tank of gas?
Time wise about 30-40 minutes of run time or about one full cord of wood rounds cut.
@@InTheWoodyard and if I recall, you sharpen your chain after every tank don't you?

Good morning Chris. I'm curious as to how many cords of wood you think you could produce a year if you didn't have logs delivered?
I am not sure but some where around 150 -200 face cords, it depends on finding wood to cut and time.
I chipped brush, got the logs into the woodyard, then then did some cutting. Hit dirt so only ran half a tank of fuel through the saw.
Then sharpen and get back at it, I have found the wood does not like to cut its self! HA!
Chris - do you have a channel for your other business (photography)? Bob in Nevada
Nope. Just firewood.
Why am I addicted to your videos and firewood content. Jealous that you get to do that everyday and I can only do it once a month.
Priorities! Make time, every day you have less.
Nice production on killi g that pile. I think you deserve an old fashion or two after that! GNI
Can I have 3 or 4? I like them!!!
@@InTheWoodyard ABSOLUTLY!!
I kneel down can't be bending my back all day like that. The worst is when you cut a little branch and a chunk gets thrown from the bottom of the chain into your knee. Or when splitting and a piece hits your shin.
Yes, I it does hurt a bit when you get nailed in the shin!
Well it's a good pile of wood. I usually end up with a bunch of dogwood that's easy to identify you can tell by its bark.

Should you run out of bar oil the same time as fuel?
I always fill my oil a bit higher than the gas. Just in case.
No, your oil should always have some left when the gas is gone.
Just always fill your oil to the top!
@@InTheWoodyard Yup. The oil is always to the top. The gas has a little room left.
That's a nice pile of rounds.
Thanks it is a good start!

At what point would a processor make sense? Maybe more so at the end of a day like that! Ha!
It is some thing that would be nice but I would need more customers too then!
You a tough dude An your brother to Your vids. Keep um coming 👍🖖🇨🇦
Thanks! Will do!
Another great video, can you in one of your videos pull tape measure out and measure several of your logs just to see how close you are at 16". You make it look so easy and so fast let's see how good you are, or how close you are.
Great idea! Most of my rounds are 15-17". No customers have ever said anything bad about the length, it all burns and gets turned into ash!
man after lunch and dry thong that saw was ripping. have a good one on my way to the woods now
Yup, I like to sharpen them up after each tank!
Nice job
Thanks Maxx!
👍
Thanks!
Bet you were tired by the time you were done , but it was a good tired !
I am tired every day.
Why make so many short pieces? Terry
16" is the standard size here, what size do you cut?
@@InTheWoodyard Don't get me wrong the size is fine but I mean the short ones you make so many off. Terry
lmao "a two wet thong day"
Yup, it was hot!
Impressive productivity, as always, and good explanation and reminders on your thought process.
But I see another commenter also wondering if you really wear a cotton T shirt while you work?? If you do, you definitely need to upgrade your gear to wear a synthetic moisture wicking base layer under your fleece. I have used them along with other high quality gear to layer up or down based on my activity and wind/weather conditions. Your outer layers in the videos look to be good quality gear for cold weather work and hunting. But, if you wear cotton against your skin, you’re at risk of more than being sweaty and uncomfortable. Hypothermia can sneak up on you because your sweat can create a heat pump-like drain on your body temperature. Sweat trapped in your base layers returns to skin contact and your body expends energy and heat to drive it away, then the cycle repeats. Distance runners, cyclists, cross country skiers and all those actively working outdoors in the winter need gear that moves the moisture away from their skin. Hypothermia can create mental confusion and loss of balance…a dangerous combo when running a saw in the woods and walking around wood rounds and piles. Cathartt Force line of clothing works quite well as a sweat wicking base layer. As do most synthetic blend thermals.
I only wear cotton in the summer, and I change often! In the winter I wear poly blend and synthetics as a base layer.
@@InTheWoodyard I thought that was likely given the high quality of the outer garments you wear…Keen boots and what appears to Sleeping Indian guide series camo wool jacket. But I have a friend that complained about freezing on stand after hiking in wearing high end Browning parka and bibs. I asked about his base layers and found out they were old school cotton thermals and T shirt.
