@crablkr I’m thinkin’ Chris aint as dumb as you assume as to not work this out with his friend Bealy Good beforehand. of course you know what happens when you assume.
You must be new here. Chris don’t do anything without getting his ducks straight first. He just doesn’t tell every move he makes. Doesn’t need to. Sketchy isn’t part of his job description.
I agree with Chris you don’t sound like anyone I would work for either. I have been doing a lot of excavating for many years and is Chris always consult with my customer before doing anything on our property. Chris is a very professional and very respectful person as his video show his years of experience is mind blowing to me and I have been doing this for 30 some years. Chris keep up the good work.
In the first minute i heard you say, " not wet enough" and "Start a small fire" I cracked up and had to replay it, LOL Good video. Thanks for sharing Cris. Stay safe..
I woke up, looked out the window and was greeted by a fire 🔥. Just the day before Chris said he wasn’t going to burn any in the front 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I should have made a bet!
You had me chuckling all throughout this video, Chris. But I have to say, Wow, does that whole area look amazing. You cleaned it up very nicely (like you always do).
to be fair, a whole lot of forest and lives have been destroyed by fire recently. Nothing wrong with being cautious with fire. So, keeps "rightly concerned people" from calling the fire department might be a better choice than "Karens".
@@ionymous6733 : It's always a "Karen". Chris doesn't do fires without precautions having been taken in advance. He also makes certain that the local fire department 🏬 knows in advance when/where he's lighting up a brush pile.
@@daleallen7634 Nah. If a person is concerned, and a female, that doesn't make her a Karen. Otherwise that's like every person. Let's not shame people for being concerned about large billowing smoke in their area. Whatever though, people are using Karen in less and less Karen situations, and more just to describe someone who is concerned or disagrees.
A small fire for Chris can still be seen from the international space station with the naked eye... and approaching aircraft. At least he's not out west here where mother nature builds much bigger fires....
Yup, the best laid plans of mice and men..... Lets just say, he starts with a campfire and ends up two stories high and growing. Chris means well but man does he have trouble keeping them small. Love it as I would be the same way. And humans have been building fires and covering with dirt for thousands of years to make charcoal. If you can burn them without a flame like those at the bottom smothered with ashes you make a product with a lot of calories still in it that will burn safer and yet create a lot of heat for cooking and such. Much more controllable than an open flame. Whole areas of my state does this with oak and hickory slash for a living. They burn an open flame to get all the leaves and twigs burnt up and then cover with dirt to make charcoal for Kingsford Company who then grind it and bind it into brickets to sell. Good way to use the tops from logging oak and/or hickory.
Hi from uk chris👋👍 great job getting rid of all the brush that was ""in the way"" lol couldn't help notice that the "" little fire "" grew taller and wider with every slew🤔 you have a little fire at end of lighter or match anything else game on 😂💪 getting it done magic man 👌 poof and the brush is gone👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon 👍👋
Just a few years ago when you bought the 220. You said “I’m never going to financially recover from this”. Well seem like you did and doing it quite well honestly. Sometimes you just gotta take the risk to get there you want to be.. it’ll happen in time. Just needs the effort put into it.
Betty the Prom Queen and Barney the Prom King have been two (2) Big Additions to your Fleet and will Receive the Much Deserved Mtce. like the rest of your Equipment. 👍
Someone earlier mentioned a ballonnist's fan to stoke your fires. I watched a guy clear a field full of large saplings. Pile was about twice the size of yours. He had a big fan powered by a Detroit 2-stroke. He fired that thing up and let it go for three days. Burned that pile down to NOTHING with minimal re-piling. Amazing!
I am a retired small engine mechanic of 45 years at the bench. I see you burning a lot of brush in your videos and a Balloonist's fan would serve you nicely. They are used to pre-inflate a balloon so the burners don't hit the fabric of the balloon. These typically are a 5-8 HP gas motor "preferably Honda" with a big ass fan that is belt driven so easy to start and engage fan. You could build it yourself. Find a balloonist or company like Picard balloons?
“Then I’ll put a couple of more grapple loads on the fire” said Chris. Reality….it was 10 or more. Made me laugh 🤣 Great job mate. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
I've been watching for a while and it looked like fun until I rented a vio80 for a week. I attempted to make a road down a steep hill and clean the trees away from an over grown creek. Far from completed. Next time I'll hire a professional operator. You made it look easy darn you.
What Chris doesn't know about building and maintaining a burn pyre within safety limits is not worth knowing! Those of us who think we're pretty good at the back yard rubbish fire at the right time, are still struggling to reach the first rung of the ladder at the top of which is Chris!
Wonder if a big trommel would be handy, tumble the stumps and brush to know the dirt off. I use a small one for the garden, great for getting all the big junk out of the dirt and allows you to make great soil by blending in all the loose materials.
Yea I laughed pretty hard when you said a small fire but then I was impressed you keep it as small as you did it was still a big fire but not as big as normal 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Barney just reminded me that I need to get new windshield wipers for my outback. Of course here in Central California, I've got several months before that will become an issue.
Take it easy on my truck . I saw where you chunked a couple stumps into the bed . Reminded me of the big clump of that clay dirt over on the 10 acre land job . Lol
Chris, maybe try putting a camera in one of those culverts to see how much flex you get out of it while running the haul truck over it loaded. It'd be cool to see what happens under each axle.
It looks like you really should replace that wiper blade on Barney before you have to replace the window. Because it's going to start scratching the glass, and then it'll constantly go through wiper blades. Nice fire keep the videos coming 👍👍🌝
Not keeping a site as clean and organized as possible just costs time and money. When you work on your own most of the time both are very valuable particularly time.
Chris: I think I'll start a small fire..., little giggle Everyone else: Yeah right.. We're with you..., just 10 more grapples umm ok...., make that 16 and that's it...for the next 10 minutes Oh what the hell, lets just pile it on and see what happens....
Looks like you have things under control. I am sure the local volunteer fire department appreciates your efforts to make sure everything is under control. I have been a volunteer ff for over forty years. Stay safe!
I love to see ur set up working so well 4 u. Wish I was closer, I'd so help u on weekends. Best of luck to you sir. That blue looks so good on Mr beally s house
Friend had a 250 + acre plot all set for infrastructure, the area had been clear cut and stump removal was achieved two years after now five years from the cut the stumps were next, A good used tub grinder was secured and the almost three thousand stumps were chipped and those chips were sold to the local chip burner power plant for fuel
......well at least that little bit of moisture reduced the squeal of those excavator track rollers......there were some high pitched noises in yesterday's video that went right up the spine.....lol.
Do you notify the fire department that you are having a fire? Where I am on the west coast, you have to do so beforehand. I love how this project is turning out so far!
Have you ever though of adding a small water truck to your fleet? would be great for those jobs with lots of stuff to burn and the need to make sure things dont get out of control.
Nice to get all that out the way, bonus with the weather on your side. I knew when you said OK no more on the pile.. Then grabbed another bucketfull - where it was going 😂. Been a lot more decent length driving vids lately and gotta say really enjoying them. Looks like your having a good run with the front windows on the 360s with all this timber work 😁👍
Chris...going to build a small fire to get rid of some of this brush Also Chris...never let hot coals go to waste and proceeds to add 20 dump truck loads to the fire lol. To be fair though, the fire was kept small he just kept adding to the end so the fire worked its way thru it
That dump truck holds a lot of stumps. When it dumped they just kept tumbling out. Nice fire glad you were able to entertain everyone. Will the logging company clear cut all this property? It will be sad to see.
A good portion will be the 5 ac. for the pond. it's not a back choice what he has planned, considering that the forestry service guys told him to clear cut it when he bought it. The pasture will take some more of the acreage but there will still be trees.
Chris I can’t wait till the loggers get in there where you and them are working together and when you bring the D6 over there that’s gonna make some good videos but anyway brother another great video so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming my friend
Looking better and better as you work your magic on it. I cant wait to see the pond build start. Lots of clearing before that can happen and I have faith in you to make it happen. I have a question if you want to answer it. How much fuel do you burn in a days time or per hour on average? Thanks again for a great video.
Chris: I'm just going to start a small fire *Adds grapple to the fire Chris: I like to air on the side of caution *Adds grapple to the fire Chris: I'm not going to let that burn down *Adds grapple to the fire Chris: Just one more *Adds grapple to the fire and cuts camera so we don't see him add more after that. Lol
Not to be nit-picking, sir, but hoping to be helpful - err, not air. Err is to make a mistake or go astray. Ere means before. A bit old-fashioned, but 'We must be off ere sunrise'.
If it was my property you would have been kicked off and not paid for not consulting about a burn pile out front
Hahhaa you don't sound like someone I'd work for anyways

What's a small fire? Bonfire man. Burn baby burn.
Contradictory statement, “ Lets Dig 18 and small fire”, I didn’t know you could talk like that! 😏😉😆👍
In the first minute i heard you say, " not wet enough" and "Start a small fire" I cracked up and had to replay it, LOL Good video. Thanks for sharing Cris. Stay safe..
"I'm gonna start a small fire..."
Cuts back to a blaze while adding another giant bundle of brush onto the fire. 😂
That haul truck was a great investment for you. It won't take long to pay for itself.
When Chris said _" yawl know it's hard for me to start a small fire "_ I hit the " Like " button .
I woke up, looked out the window and was greeted by a fire 🔥. Just the day before Chris said he wasn’t going to burn any in the front 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I should have made a bet!
I see the Polen off the pine trees is in the air, here we get covered in the Polen every spring, many people struggle with the Polen sadly. 😢😵😨😷😗.
Baby fire! Your self control is legendary Chris. :)

Great job Chris. I love the way you are narrating just don't wear yourself out, I really look forward to your videos.
lookin at the roots of the pines.. i bet there are some TRUFFLES around
I appreciate the lack of music and showy editing in Chris's videos. Just a man hard at work with his machines.
I'm still amazed at how well Barney looks after a paint job and new decals.
I like how you were getting the area ready for when the yard gets busy
I dont think Mr Bealy's roses survived, LOL🌹🌹🌹
Pine has a high fuel content in spring and burns very well green.
I enjoy the burn days Chris .thanks for the video share👏👏👏👌🇬🇧🍺👍
Small fires always have a "six hours later" feature built in. Never seen it any other way. ;) Be well Chris. :)

Little fire, come on, you must be etching to throw more😂 Tell you what, Barney looks great and works hard💪👍🇺🇸
Having your own haul truck is awesome Chris! Good choice!
So much for a small fire. :) Thank you and have a great day.

Why not just use his leaf blower.
Add a drip for burning gas diesel mix in the air stream for a great fire, almost a blow torch.
Yes a "small fire" go for it Chris!! Stay safe!!
ALL of Chris's fires are ....CIVILIZED! 😉
WINK, WINK,....NUDGE, NUDGE! 🤣
The old haul truck looks new and dose a amazing job,, I call her "Handy" ....👍👍
That's Barney, he's a great asset for sure
" Little?" Seriously? When are you going to give us a bonfire so big you have to bring your own firetruck? We'll never tell Karen !
He has a firetruck already, he just needs to start using it
@@rawr51919 It actually belongs to someone else who was planning to come and get it a couple of months ago . . whether they did or not I have no idea.

It will not scratch the windshield because the wiper doesn't work fix that than replace the wiper blade
