HERE IS A GREAT LITTLE SAW FOR BEGINNER CUTTERS:goo.gl/DhuYiN
THIS IS AN AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK
Either I'm on the crack again, or they have the chain on backwards in the pictures! hahaha
Wranglerstar wow you are a great dad your son will be well experienced with a chainsaw once he has skills like you. Man I like stihl chainsaws I have a stihl ms 880 and 461. If you want you can get your saw with heated handles helps in cold weather. I have my 461 with a dual port muffler and large bucking spikes and the heated handles. Tip you might want to use the decompression valve on the 461 because it has a plastic flywheel. I don't use the decompression valve at all but In the winter it will be handy.
Love the Neil Young near the end.
Wranglerstar can you be my dad
adam rushing your on crack :)
I, like others have just found out about this video being the video that had you fired from US Forest service. I would just like to let you know that you have shaped my highschool career as wanting to become a forest wildland firefighter and having unlocked new fascinations of taking care of my gears and new ways to do things. Not only are you a great parent, and you are doing an excellent job as a parent raising your child (in my opinion). You are also helping raise countless children across youtube platform in unlocking new interest and helping them achieve new career path’s that I myself included could not have imagined before. Thank you and happy new year
Naw I'm sure he got fired for other factors other than just this video.
@@zachkennedy9282 I was thinking the same thing
And that is the exact same reason I came to this video as well but this guy is an amazing role model for his kids and people that watch his videos because of him and others. I want to be a hotshot when I grow up.
Why did he got fired over this video, did he shared some secret information?
This has to be my favourite Wranglerstar video so far.
A message for Jack - please cherish these moments of learning, the lessons and skills your parents have been, are and will teach you will prepare you for your future. You may not think they are important but they are.
Keep up the great work Cody and Mrs W!
Cody, you are an amazing man. I sit here watching only wishing I had an upbringing like this. All I ever wanted was to learn how to use tools and build stuff. No one was there to teach me, to this day everything I know, every tool I own and know how to use, I taught myself. This video just seemed magical to me, these will be amazing memories for Jack, might I add that he handled that chain saw proudly and efficiently. I respect you Cody, I wish I had a neighbour like you that I could learn things from. Thank you for sharing this special moment. Richie Vaughan, Hamilton Ontario Canada age 29
Awesome Jack....proud of you and dad...I'm sure you have a new respect for dad when he runs the saw..looks easy but hard on your body....this video makes me smile
Great video. Jack looked very proud, as well he should be. Thanks so much for sharing these awesome memories.
Great video!!!
COOL -This is parenting done right!!!!
I agree!!
If only everyone had access to vast acres of woods and land.
A plant there's public land for doing this
thank you Wranglerstar for this informational video.
and i agree that you seem like a great dad.
The only way a child can learn. Is to do dangerous things safely and supervised.
Cody, it's a pleasure watching you teaching Jack not only the skills needed for modern homesteading but for life as well. A job that's worth doing is worth doing right. Takes me back to the days of my own youth with my father teaching me the same thing. Also as one who has never used a chainsaw, you are teaching this 48 year old as well. Thank you sir. May God's blessings pour out and you and your family.
Overall a great video and as so many have commented, such a valuable lesson for a young guy. Not enough of this going around.
I scrolled through some comments and saw some additional tips on technique. One I didn't see mentioned that I picked up on, is the importance of body position and posture. You MUST keep the saw to your right at all times and never position your head across the line of the cut. You must be looking at the left side of the bar. In the case of kickback your head and body will be in line with the bar if you're over it. Keep your back straight and left arm elbow locked with the saw pressed back into your hip. As you work through the cut, get down in a dropped knee stance (right knee on ground) to keep in position with back straight. This is for left and right handed. Working this way is also far less tiring. I used a saw for 25 years or more before I learnt this and it was a revelation in safety and work flow.
Great stuff there ...... Glad to see a young man being trained in these simple things ...... I'm in the South East USA and best I can remember it was about 12-13 yoa that my dad first put me to using a chainsaw ....... It gives a young man more since of worth and I know I felt more "grown-up" than ever when I was running a saw when it was firewood cutting time
What a great feeling as a father to give your boy a thumbs up while teaching him to do something he wants to do to be like his father! This is what life is all about!
Love this video so much, looking forward to more on this series. Great information for those new to this, good reminders to others. As an aside I so enjoy seeing a father teaching his son, so good to have a positive picture of fathers. So often fathers are portrayed as nincompoops... Jack will treasure these memories before its all said and done. Jack, well done, I enjoyed your teachable spirit, takes courage to learn on camera, my hat is off to you.
+Michael Morrow what a lovely comment. Thank you.
Completely agree, one hundred percent. All too often fathers are portrayed as fools or used for nothing but the dim comic relief in popular media. While that can be unfortunately accurate in all to many cases, it's not true in all and this is a perfect example. It's heartwarming to see how much Cody cares about his son and enjoys spending time with him.
Amen.
Well said
Agreed
What a beautiful moment in a father and son's life. It might not seem like much but being able to transfer skills and knowledge to the next generation, especially your own is an amazing feeling. Great job Wranglerstar.
It looked like Jack was enjoying his time behind the saw. It made me remember when I first started using one.
I havent used a saw to cut trees, but i enjoy chopping wood. I remember my uncle told me I was too small (I was like 10), but on the first swing i popped open some oak wood
Great job Jack!
Great teaching Cody!
I agree!!
Eagle profile pic. Nice!
That thumbs up and smile at 11:17 made my day. My daughter loves to tinker with me in the shop. I can't wait to teach her more and more. Building up our children is one of the greatest honors as a parent. Fantastic content Cody.
can we nick name him lumber jack ? all jokes aside its good to see we more homesteading videos and not cheap vs expensive tools comparisons
the compo vids prob pay some bills (free tools/sponsor money)
I teach 7th grade science... Students about Jack's age. You have no idea how many boys need the training and parenting Jack receives from you and Mrs W. Keep up the good work and Godspeed.
I really enjoyed this video. I have a 7 year-old son, and have set the 12 years-old age limit for a lot of activities (i.e. operating a firearm, chainsaw, etc.) Nicely done Wranglerstar family.
I got firearm privileges at 4 (obviously under supervision) driving came at 10, saws came around 13/14,
You and jack working together are my favorite videos..thank you Cody
Dear Cody, it is fabulous to see you working with Jack. Your patience, your encouragement, and your guidance. I have followed your channel for the past year, and I too am learning a lot. I know you are a man of God, and you cherish your family, and I encourage you to continue to stay in the moment, and treasure everything around you. I lost my son four and a half years ago to an impaired driver, while he was barely 18. I cherish those 18 years with him, and am very grateful that I had that time, especially as a single parent with full custody. I miss him terribly, but know that he lives on. Thank you for your channel, and I hope that at some time in the future, our paths will cross. Until then, God bless you and your family. With much love, Andy
This is the stuff I subscribed to W for a few years ago. Nice to see a return to the roots.
Jack, you're a natural. Your attention to detail coupled with your Father's teachings will serve you best for years to come.
12:10 nice rifle on the stump
And also, that AR has the side effect of being incredibly fun to shoot.
My Father passed in March of 2015. This Video brought tears to my eyes remembering the way he taught me the right way to do a job. Do it right do it once and move on to the next has served me well in my life. Watching this video I could hear his voice. Thank you both. God Bless You.
I wish my father was around to teach me this stuff.. I had to learn everything I know on my own. He's gonna be great just like you one day.
The video that lost him his job. Absolute shame they didn’t see the amazing message behind the video and the help it does! You got my views Cody!
Oh, they saw it alright. They saw it and they didn't like it.
Your a great role model for that young man. We need more of this!
I agree!!!
Two things i noticed. First one, no mention of a good pair of chainsaw boots. I've seen some nasty wounds from accidents due to loss of footing and that chain is spinning and wham! Into the foot it goes. I use Stihl chainsaw boots myself. They are expensive, but so is losing the use of your foot.
Secondly, the chainsaw brake. It isn't a good idea to use your throttle hand to activate the chain break. If that chain is still spinning, and you miss the break in a hast to set the brake, guess where your hand is going? Straight into that spinning chain full of hungry, sharp teeth. Always good practice to use the wrist flick method. Both hands remain on the saw and the brake can be activated efficiently with a quick flick of the wrist from the top bar. I saw you demonstrate it once Cody, but in my opinion, the boy needs to make it a habit to use that method. Chainsaws are very unforgiving, as I'm sure you know. Anyway, that's it. Good vid.
Shane Roper Totally agree a with you.
Can you please tell me how you apply to become a member of the RUclips police 🌐👮. Are they recruiting at the moment?
The man raised a valid point. Don't be a moron.
Cody, I really enjoyed this video! I am definitely a beginner with a chainsaw, but have felt a lot better about it from watching your videos in the past. My wife and I have a son who is 13 months old and I think it would be awesome to get out and teach him how to use a chainsaw someday. My dad owned a chainsaw, but rarely used it because we lived in the city so I never learned. Now, we live more in a rural area, so there is a little bit of wood to cut. Thanks so much for believing that working like this is something every guy should know about.
Also, I have enjoyed the “cheapest on Amazon” videos, but when I first started watching the channel, I found myself sad that the videos ended and I feel like this video was a lot like those. My wife used to laugh at me because I was watching this random guy’s videos. I don’t want to hassle you because I know you work hard with the videos and it’s tough. I just wanted to say that I appreciate this one particularly. Thanks man!
Zachary Pittman my wife sometimes listens and watches with me, there is a lot to learn from Cody :) nice to know I'm not the only young guy tuning in each video lol
What a wonderful relationship you have built. I'm sure you, like all of us, have moments where you know you can be a better man or father. But do try to appreciate how well you're doing. I love your content and wish you and your family the best.
This is parenting done right!!!!
Dare Devil Dan heck yes
Agreed!
A great saw for beginners in my opinion is the stihl ms241 , I have one and It is one of the saws I use when cutting firewood for heating my house , lightweight , 16 inch bar , and small enough motor with decomp valve for smaller people
gotta say on a personal level, we wouldn't get along on a lot of points. What your doing with your boy is not one of them. I wish i had that kind of guidance as a kid. I eventually learned many skills on my own but to have a man to show me those things (without the screaming and berating) would have put me years ahead of my current levels.
I'll bet we have more things in common than not. Thank you Ty,
These videos are the best. The ones of you, beening a responsable dad. When Jack gets older he will appreciate all of this.
I really enjoy the videos you do with jack it really brings back some wonderful memories of my late grandfather teaching me a lot of useful outdoor skills
Happiness is Cody teaching Jack about chainsaws. He can't stop smiling. Thanks for sharing.
7:33 man that brought back memories trying to pull start my first saw...didn’t know what to expect lol
EXCELLENT video. I remember years ago cutting firewood with my father......we still do cut firewood......but now I am the one running the chainsaw.....he helps with what he can.....but in his 70s. he can just sit and watch if he so chooses.....of course, he gets the levers on the log splitter.
Jack, well done. learn what you can, and enjoy what you do.
This is the video..... bummer. Great content regardless of the outcome.
Great video! I started my oldest son around 15 with a MS 170, a MS 261 CM is our large saw. We live in MD where a 20” diameter tree is good size. Thanks for takin the time to show proper technique.
GO JACK!!! Great job!!! Thanks for being such an amazing father and human Cody!!
I love the smiles that both you and jack have on your faces while working together. I have a very young son I hope to share moments like this with. You are a very blessed man Cody. I love this kind of content that your providing. Thank you and God bless.
One of your bet videos for all proud dads.
You have a very lucky boy and I can’t imagine how blessed you feel watching him grow. Thank you for sharing your life and it has been fun to watch jack grow over the years.
Jack is a very blessed young to have such a great dad I to was blessed with a good hard working dad that taught me to run a saw it was a stihl ms 201t I think I was a little younger than Jack I was 9 of 10 but I'm kinda big for my age so I guess that's why dad showed me when I was a little younger. I'm now 14 and make quite a bit of money selling firewood that I cut with my stihl ms 460 that my uncle give me it was slightly used but it should last me years a big thanks to all the good hard working God fearing dads out there. Hope you see this Mr wranglerstar and show to Jack if you would GOD bless from NC
Tucker P. Same but my dad taught me with an 038 magnum...I still love that saw to this day
Good to show the children what labor is like. Many will never have clue in the world we have now. I started chainsaws at age 14 with no instruction at all. Dad was a busy man and he always talked about wanting the old blue spruce chopped down that was leaning in to the street for years after an ice storm. I was descent enough with small motors so I just fired up the little McCullough and stripped the bottom until I could reach the trunk. All went well but man I definitely was making plenty of rookie mistakes that could of really cost me. After that he was proud and a bit upset but he showed me the ins and outs. That was 23 years ago and I haven't seen him touch a chain saw since then. About 9 years ago he had me come over and said he had a gift for me. There was a beautiful brand new 372XP sitting in the garage. He then tells me that the saw is mine after I finish felling the three massive silver maples in his yard. I'm no pro arbor but I seem to be behind a saw a month or two out of every year. He said he had gotten a few quotes from tree services and decided he'd buy me a nice saw and enjoy my company for a few weekends and nights. Got to love good old dad. Spent 40 years in the local 758 carpenters union trying to keep us kids going and growing. Anyway, just brought back some memories with this one. Thanks for showing us
+Kevin Ball what a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wranglerstar
After all the years I've enjoyed your stories I appreciate knowing you could hear a summarized story of mine. I thank you for listening sir.
Today I learned that this video led to you being fired from the forest service. Yet I see nothing but a good father.
Have to say Guys I got a touch emotional watching you two working together. I personally treasure when I get a chance to work with my Daughter like this who just turned 12 as well. She is a city kid though and we learn different things than I did growing up in the country, but we have some camping to do this fall and we are excited. Great video. Great job Jack! Cody good for you regularly showing what being a Parent is about. A Teacher, a mentor and having patience with the learning process.
Great video ,Cody !! I know you had dropped off your new saw and had some work done to it. Can you do a video on what was done and performance before and after ? Thanks
As sad as it sounds I had a tear in my eye watching this, growing up with no father around (he wanted to have kids but not be around for them once they were born) I had to learn how to do stuff like this on my own. I had a lot of mistakes that could have got me seriously hurt, in fact I almost went blind in one eye I had a chip come up from the cut and get in my eye and go under my upper eye lid. I hope Jack realizes how lucky he is to have a father like you around to teach and show him these things. As well I would like to thank you man to man for putting videos like these up. It teaches a lot of younger men like me and many others how to do something the safe and proper way and it shows there are still men out there willing to take responsibility to take care of his family and teach his child the proper way to do something.
You've taught him well and he did a great job.
I know this is from 2017 but after watching you teach your son how to use a chainsaw, I had to comment on how touching that was to me. My father taught me the same skills many years ago with a Stihl saw. I will never forget those lessons or the bond that developed. I have to admit that when the music started playing, (Old Man), my eyes started watering. Must be the winter allergies.... I lost my dad in August 2020. Thank you for this particular video.
Steal toe boots are good too
He might not have them due to his personal experience with them in wild-fire fighting.
The Steel in the steel toes heats up and makes your feet a lot more uncomfortable than they would otherwise be.
He mentioned the above in his Axe vs. Steel-toe boot video.
what Weak1ings said is true. I have also worked in wildland fire before and wear leather and kevlar boots for the reason that you can't have metal in your shoes.
composite toe is so much better
Would fiberglass toed boots be good? I got myself a pair of those for truck unloading work, light weight and great for that.
+VileStorms honestly, anything is better than nothing.
long story short, they will help but if you cut as much wood as I do, get yourself a good pair of boots meant for the job.
long story long,
When I was 17 I started working for people who lived around me taking out trees and cutting them for firewood, then stacking it for drying. I didn't have chainsaw chaps so I wore shin guards for hokey.They saved my leg one day, I was tired after working for almost 6 hours, I basically swung the saw at full rev. into my shin.
Your shoes are the same concept. They will help, but it's not what they a designed for. They would help to keep from something crushing your toes, and they will help deflect a chainsaw, but if a saw is really coming for your foot, depending on the thickness of your plate it will probably go right through it. Also, I doubt they will help protect from an axe.
Thanks Cody & Jack. Warms my heart to see you two working and sharing time together. God bless.
Came here after seeing the shot, can't believe they fired him for this!
I appreciate the time you are spending PATIENTLY teaching jack the proper way to use a saw. He is a very LUCKY young man to be raised and mentored by parents like you and your wife. I look forward to future videos. GOOD JOB JACK.
Now I never complained about the last videos, just watched quietly but FINALLY! SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO DO WITH HOMESTEADING!
I always enjoy watching you teach Jack how to do stuff. My son is about 4 months younger than Jack, and you've been unknowingly giving me pointers on how and when introduce him to new things.
I have to admit, you've teaching me as well. Thank you.
Best saw for beginners in my opinion stihl MS-250 not to big with a bit of power! Really love your'e video wranglerstar
Oddman Outdoors exactly!
I can second that Olivier! That's what I went with and I feel very safe with it. Not too powerful but good enough for most tasks, good weight and control. Went with 18" bar.
Zabik99 i curently am running a 16 inch bar but planning on buying a 18 inch soon!
I bought the MS251 a couple of years ago and run Stihl's own Rapid Super chain on it. Keep the rpm's up and it cuts like nobody's business for a smaller saw. The only thing I had a hard time cutting was a large oak tree at a friends house. Mostly because it gummed up my bar, so I had to free the tip sprocket. Aside from that its' gone through everything I've cut. :)
Was having my 261 serviced this weekend and saw in the store where the MS-250 was on sale for $299 almost bought one just because.
Being a city dweller , i've never learnt how to operate a chainsaw. But it's definitely a skill I would love to learn. After all, a prime use of a chainsaw in a city is simply a fallen tree after a storm that needs to be cut in pieces to be removed.
So great that you share your skills.
David Attenborough: here we see a proud papa beaver show his baby beaver how to cut a tree.
And I heard that in his voice!
Cody, Thanks for being a great example of a father that every son should have. I love the videos where you and Jack work on things together.
old man look at my life, im alot like you were...
neil young, not sure many caught that..
caught
This made me a bit nostalgic of many autumns ago when I would still play checkers with my father :)
yep, perfect music for the video
keeger I thought the original was acoustic?
Congrats for having these moments captured forever. My bet is that vids like this will hold more value to you than any viewer. Also bet you will come back and watch this one again and again... I would :)
WAY 2 GO JACK!! You are ON YOUR WAY TO MAN HOOD WITH A GREAT TEACHER. YOUR DAD. LEARN ALL YOU CAN BUDDY & SOAK UP AS MUCH KNOLAGE FROM HIM AS YOU CAN AND IF YOUR GRAND DAD IS STILL LIVING LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM HIM AS WELL. I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY AND SOME TIMES IT WILL BE REALLY BORING. BUT YOU WILL LEARN INVALUABLE LESSONS AND MEMORYS. MABY SOME DAY YOU CAN TEACH YOUR OWN CHILDREN. CAUSE THERE IS A WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE BRAIN'S OF YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS LEARN ALL YOU CAN CAUSE WHEN THEY PASS FROM THIS WORLD THERE KNOW HOW AND KNOLAGE GOES WITH THEM. GOOD LUCK. LIL BUDDY & MAY GOD BLESS YOU
+wrangler dave thank you from Jack
The world needs more fathers like you. Keep up the great work guys!
There’s very much a war on everything good and wholesome in this country.
Congratulations Jack. You have a good teacher. Just remember take your time and listen. Looking forward to following this series.
Every single time his sone put the safety back on, he took his hand off the trigger handle. To engage the safety you’re supposed to rock your wrist to push it forward, that is the safe way to do it, with the way you have him doing it or didn’t notice he was doing he could miss and cut his arm. Also when he was cutting the log of the ground he was really bending down as if he was doing a squat, that will make his back soar and also makes him off balanced, say the saw was to kick back, he would fall over and could get badly hurt, he should be on one knee. Now I say this only out of concern. Other then those things I saw, I think for a first cut your son did great, and I love watching your videos and the things you teach us all.
There is something very special about watching a father patiently teaching his and praising his son.
This the video that cost you your job that's ?
your boy is still exited about cutting after talking about possible head wounds and tourniquets. That is awesome! Great intro to chainsaw use and excellent example of fatherhood.
This is the video that got you fired…hard to believe.
I just saw the one of you rounding a stump and then planting three more with the little kid. Thank you so much for teaching skills like this to the youth. I love how you wrapped it up with a recap from bible study that morning. You sir are a very good man.
I always know where my tip is.
Modern Patriot lol 😂
But just the tip, and only for a minute.
Learning multiple lessons at the same time
Watching this video brought back some good memories of when my dad started to let me work beside him and showing me running dangerous tools. You have a much better and more patient manor than my dad had, much better for Jack than the old school way. We never cut much wood growing up my family heated with fuel oil instead of wood but I have cut a lot of wood in my adult years and I prefer wood heat over modern fuels unfortunately my health has declined and work involved with heating by wood is no longer an option for me but I still occasionally cut a tree or two on a good day for the exercise and camp fire wood for when my granddaughter comes is over. 😊
hey, u cut out the part where jack was trying to start that chainsaw, I wanted to see that
it probably took a while as he was trying to start it with his left hand not sure why maybe its safer i would of done it with the right hand
Great video. I started about the same age as Jack. I'm now 40. I have 4 boys and the oldest is now 10. He got a small Poulan saw for Christmas a few years ago and I started teaching him early. No I don't let him loose with it yet but help him make cuts when time allows. I also dig the AR-15 in the back ground! I have one of those too.
This is why you got let go? That’s BS. Sorry man that’s a great video, should not have gone down like that.
Excellent choice of music to cover the video. It really ties in what your doing with Jack, making memories so when he goes on with life he’ll remember.
9:50 ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOUR TIP IS AT ALL TIMES! 😂😂
bet
Deep and out of the dirt
His goes all the way through the log!
Best video you've had in a while. Love the Father-Son bonding and the use of "Old Man"
Can he even lift it comfortably
I am so proud of you Cody and you working with Jack I think this is something that some Porten at his age. This is something that I did not have with my own father that I wish I would’ve had. With you teaching him this logging in for STREET work he will be a very smart young man and be able to be a safe individual while he’s doing it. Once again I will say how proud I am of both of you the way you work close together.
Do you always take a gun with you
Always yes,
Hell yeah he does!
What do you carry?
I am european and even we are use to carry rifles in a forest all the time. Sure, only if having a permit to have a rifle :)
One other piece of PPE I always make sure to wear when using saws is a good pair of steel-toes.
Hes one lucky kid! Good job
Never had a dad to teach me like this wish I did but I know I’m going to teach my son one day everything I know and everything I did wrong in life
Can you be my dad
your son is going to be a very very smart man when he grows up. the way he listens and does exactly as you teach thats the best thing for him. hes going to continue on and i can almost garantee be a homesteader just like you and your wife.
Cody you havw taught jack how to be a very responsible young man, and you dont see that now. parents arent parents any more they try to be their kids best friends but that hurts them. continue doing what your doing
im only 13 but I can run a chainsaw and I'm comfortable with the drop start
Chainsaw safety and proper training is so important. So much can go wrong so quickly. I taught myself and am lucky to have all my fingers and toes. Not only was the instruction solid, but your student was obviously listening. The change in confidence by the end showed in his body language and I was damn proud of him when you gave him the thumbs up. If the bureaucracy of the Forest Service had a little butthurt episode over this video then I say the problem lies with them, not you.
Love the fact that you brought your Daniel with you. I go almost everywhere with mine. Truly phenomenal firearms. Great video Wrangler!
I came across this looking to up skill on what I could do to be more proficient (and safe) with my saw having moved onto a property and knowing that I would often be working on my own.
What I found in my opinion is a very special example where not only is the speaker well versed and experienced but humble. You have shared a special moment with us - passing on valuable knowledge, wisdom and understanding to a young man. Regardless if he was to pursue similar passions these life lessons make ripples that stay with a young person well into later life.
Thank you for your help in my own learning, but more prolifically, thank you for making my day with a beautiful Neil Young version which enriches this wonderful Father Son moment
Oh wow, Jack has really grown since the carpenter bench stores. I love this video, please keep them coming. I'm learning a lot.
Great video! I taught my son how to use a chainsaw , it gave us both a great sense of satisfaction.
It was great to pass on a skill and to spend time with my young fella.
I will offer two bits of feed back, take them or leave them
1/ Steel cap boots are in my opinion must when using a chainsaw.
2/ Try to get the young fella (Jack)to roll his left wrist to engage the chain brake. I get that he is 12 and the saw is designed for adults and rolling his wrist could be difficult, but it is a good habit to get into.
Keep up the good work. Jack is learning valuable life skills as are you by teaching him.
I hope both of you enjoy these moments....all too quickly they are gone. Congrats Jack!
Nice work again Cody. Just taught my daughter to shoot a 22 this weekend. She said later "That was fun.". We are both lucky fathers.
I love the relationship that you have with your son. I look back at the relationship that I had with my father and I have to wonder, how much better of a man would I be today if he had of spent the time and effort to teach me the skills that all men should know. Bravo, you are raising an excellent young man.
