Thank you brother David ! Hope you and the family are doing good . I keep falling , Buckin wedges , my hard hat , saw chaps in my truck . I have a milk crate to , and I do need to get card board for the bottom of it . I have a wedge banger , splitting axe , hatchet and 70cc chainsaw and run a 28 to a 32 inch bar on her ! I get out in the woods when I can or have the gas too get my truck up there !
Awesome video David! I really like getting glimpses into what each person uses and has on hand. I like to learn something from each person and add it to what I am doing. I think I have most of what you covered with me or on me when I go out cutting or splitting. Thanks for the information, tips, and content! Hope you and the family are doing well!
Those double tapers are my favorite, but they're really soft, they fall apart if a guy doesn't hit them super square. I have a bunch of the madsens ones too, i think wells plastics makes them for madsens, theyre great, and alot more sturdy
Good stuff! I keep most of what you keep with you for sure. I do keep a fire extinguisher though. We aren't allowed to cut standing dead but I do it anyways because there's nothing on the ground like they want you to cut! Anyways be safe and see ya next time!
Excellent video!! I drag around a 390 or 395 most of the time. I run a Aaron Lynch wedge banger. I run a Dana Hudson felling rig. 32” bars full house I do not cut for a living I just play.
I carry:3 saws JUST IN CASE and they all have different bar lengths, I carry 3 axes 1 is a 8lb maul 2 are regular 4lb but 1has a 32” handle & 1 is a 28” that I use for bang AND for VERY mild splitting, fuel container, bar oil container(s), chainsaw toolbox with MANY different things (I’ll get into that later), WATER because it’s a very necessary thing. In my saw tool box I have multiple wedges, 2 DIFFERENT screnches, files both round and flat, I keep my depth gauge in the truck where I keep my wallet, bar oil cleaner for the saws, bar rail cleaner, bar tip grease gun, extra clutch cover nuts, and it seems like I’ve got other stuff in it but I’m to lazy to go look right now! I ALSO keep (in 4 different lengths) 3/8 chain of a total length of roughly 80’. I also have an inside truck bed toolbox that I KEEP stuffed with “things” that I might need to repair various different things, including my truck. I also keep a 5gal bucket about 1/3 full of saw chips that I use for those times when nature calls so that I can “sit” for a while, especially considering that I have Chron’s Disease and my “stuff” usually takes me time to take care of. The truck is a 99 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that I bought new (when I could afford it). If I didn’t like it then I’d have sent it down the road a long time ago. It runs on 35” tires so getting in or out is USUALLY not an issue. For those times when things don’t go as planned I also have a VERY good and strong winch on the front so that I can self extract OR for coercion of a tree when I absolutely have to. That’s all that I can think of right now. 🤔😉🥰
Good stuff bro! Your right about the leather gloves. Even when I ran a saw on a type 2 fire crew I would wear a pair of mechanix gloves and I didn’t have the problem with crap in my gloves. I like what you said about just get out there with what you got👍
An axe, shovel, bucket, and or extinguisher should always go in the vehicle. Weather your cutting firewood or just going for a drive in the woods, especially in the west or during the dry season.
@johnphillips770 : I will have to get my Dad and have him work with me to get one together. He was a hospital Corman in the US Navy.. but definitely needed as I am told for every second of the chain moving, you need 60 stitches.
@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie man your so sensitive common sense can’t be a video show if gonna represent this life style one should be proactive. So says my 42 years of cutting. Be safe young man
@@scotmayall3067 no just get a kick out of all the professionals who some out of the wood work but won’t ever post their own video lol I do have an extinguisher in all of my trucks in the cab because I don’t want them getting taken out… this was a basic firewood tool video not emergency or safety equipment video… so I take it your not gonna do the video? Lol
@@scotmayall3067 lol I find it funny how when another grown man thinks he’s gonna leave a slick comment and not get an answer back but when he does he throws the “sensitive” card lol I’m far from that my friend. Oh incase no has told you your “years of experience” don’t mean a dam thing I have worked with plenty of your type who were still a few blocks shy of a load… haha so how about that video to show us how a “42 year professional” does it…???
You nailed it again. one of the most important things is always forgotten and that is a chain and or cable. GOOD STUFF thanks
Thanks for the support my friend
Awesome David 👌...Thanks for sharing brother 👍....
I like how the crate is set up 🤙
Awesome chain gear. Lots of goodies. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽. Video is very educational. Thank you for sharing also.

Apparently I forgot the kitchen sink 🤦🏻♂️
Good information David. I known for a while now i need chains or cables so pull logs around.. definitely could have used one yesterday.

Right on brother stay safe
Great fundamentals, most folks never have those things, that's why you, and your channel is a quality channel 👌!
I used to live in Centralia before I moved to Springdale wa Madsens is definitely the best saw shop I've ever dine business with
Thanks so much david this was very helpful especially if i want to do this part time just need a truck
Really nice video David lots of good ideas. You just forgot to mention bringing your helpers 😅
Thanks oldtimer hope all is well my friend we love and appreciate you buddy! Take care

All great stuff to have. I didn’t do wedges for log time they definitely pull you out of a pinch.
@@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119 oh yeah. Gotta carry at least a couple. Especially in thick timber so you don’t get any hang ups.
Great vid.
Thank you my friend hope all is well
👍👍
Leather gets slimy when it's wet too. I like those spandex type that have been dipped in rubber.
Yup those are good too
Totally new to Firewood Tools but why does everyone carry a measuring tape?? To measure before bucking the felled tree?? Sorry for my ignorance.
To measure out how long you want your wood cut. And I usually have them in my trucks because I fell timber too so I need them to cut log lengths
Youth, little or no serious injuries, strong back & shoulders, everything else is frosting
? Must be new to the channel?
So you just what, karate chop that shit apart? 😂

Yea sir I do have an extinguisher
Was just wondering if you carry a major bleed trauma kit,that's the one thing I've never seen with you, or I just never noticed it
I know I need to add one as accidents happen no matter how careful we are..
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I won't even cut unless mine is with me,don't fell many trees, mostly tree service wood,got a few connections

Hello everyone

Bent Wedge Great to see you. Been a while. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
It to hot 🔥 to cut wood !!++
Naw it’s not too bad just when it gets over 100
Wow no fire extinguishers no shovel Guess you can throw your skivvies ( underwear) on that fire you just started I could go on but I’ve made my point🙈
Oh yeah got a real pro here! Lmao I did have an extinguisher behind the seat just forgot to pull it out for the video
Since you a pro why don’t you video and show us how it’s done?
