What in the world is with all these negative remarks? Come on people he is just trying to make things fun, it can not be serious stuff all the time. Doug keep it up buddy no harm in what I seen an I did get a few tips out of the video too. So quit your whining people.
I'm guessing its an accident. People with unusually large fingers hit the wrong buttons or forgot to put on their glasses and could discern between them. Ha. How could ya not love a descendant of a true icon like Paul?
Are some of those negative remarks being removed? I saw a few, mostly about the title but nothing worth commenting about. Strong on trick, weak on crazy by the way. I though maybe you were going to show the Swedish Homestead method (at least that's where I saw it) which I tried and which works a treat. It's weak on crazy also though. Dynamite, now that would be crazy, that's how my Dad and uncle first opened up some of the land where we live. They both still have all 16 fingers and 4 thumbs too! The hearing went though, prolly due to age rather than explosive concussion.
NICK DAMICO No kidding!! I mean like they are going through all the trouble of given us a view of how they live their lives NOW! Reformed over consumers that realized on day .. " hey, no need to live with the excess and unhealthy ( not to mention rat race) life style" that MOST are killing themselves trying to " live "! You don't have to agree with everything they do or say, they are just showing to you guys " it's a different life style, and here is what WE are doing". Unless Doug and Stacey are going to your home's at night and forcing you ( with a pitch fork and maul) to watch these programs... you really don't have any right to complain!! jeez-louise!
NICK DAMICO They remind me a lot of my grandparents. Pap walked all over town with a heavy tool box in one hand pushing his boiler vacuum with the other. They both worked hard. Blessings Doug and Stacy.
For crying out loud, whinning babies, can't you see the bright side of this? Can't you see the fun he is having here. He is lightening your day and giving you something to smile about. Grow whinners. Great video my friend.
None Ya He's not Amish or Mennonite. He just likes tho wear simple clothes. He explained it in one of his videos . He is only living here 4-5 yrs after Urban life.
I admire your strength and agility, I'm 57 and would need a break cutting just halfway through one cut but I'm also fat and lazy so I have a good excuse lol. I'm just starting my homiestead and have yet to put my first seed in the ground getting close though. I really enjoy your vids keep me coming.
love cutting wood! well not me personally...but I do have great memories..lots of them..of going with my dad to the "timber" and helping him load the back of the truck with the wood he cut. the sound and the smell..and just knowing he liked me helping...as a small girl...meant the world to me.
Good one ! Many years ago, my dad wanted to remove a old stump . Before chainsaws were a everyday thing. And he wanted the whole stump gone . Remember this was when hardware stores, were just that. So he got a half stick 🤔 of Dynamite. Yes, you could buy it back then. Planting it under the stump with a good fuse to get away. Nothing but a dust . Another trip to the hardware store for a hole stick. Planting it once again and back away . Hundred feet in the air and 200 feet from where it grew. And burn 🔥 for a week. Now remember folks i might have been 10 or 12 years old and it was in the mid 60's. And folks could get what you needed with in reason back then. Good luck now days trying it, folks use other means for that. Growing up on a small farm was fun. There was never a dull moment and work was even fun. Believe it or not. Nothing wrong with the good old days!
Dang! I never thought of doing it that way! I went out in our back yard and, using your method, removed five stumps, each greater than four feet in diameter! Thanks for the great idea!
Cutting wood #likeaboss ! I love how people got uptight about the stump removal, but neglected to stop and think, "holy moses, that dude just cut that gigantic tree and hauled it all by himself". I couldn't do it unless I really had to. And even then, I'm not sure I could do it efficiently. Thankful for men homesteaders!!
The point is he misled people into watching it. if he had not there would have been more respect for what he actually did. Take that as constructive criticism Doug and keep up with the good work.
Whats the big deal with all that, I'm a disabled person and use to cut 8-10 cord a year by my self and bigger trees than that... What I wanna know is why the hard hat if your not gonna use the shield while cutting, yeah he's got shades on but still...LOL
I agree. Misleading. Wondering what his "TRICK" was for stump removal. I wouldn't have watched just to see some guy cut up a tree. That's 9 1/2 minutes I'll never get back.
Sick of seeing all the click bait on youtube. Some random arrows or circles in the thumb nail. Some claim to some "Amazing", "Crazy", or "The Best" in the title with no delivery. Then deleting any comment calling it out. Seeing it more and more from your channel and many others. Just plain sick of it. Glad to see you updated the title.
Suggestions: Put your face guard down on your helmet. That's what it's for. The blade is too short on your saw and if you got a kickback it could hit you in the face. Get a longer blade. Shorter logs are easier to split when they are that wide.
Good one Doug. I like your Paul Bunyan stump removal technique! I miss you & Stacy's videos so I just watched this oldie but goodie which I somehow missed. Sick to my stomach about the way this country is being run. You all are my rock in this mess. Thanks and keep it up!
Hey Doug and Stacy . Wow that some good Chuck wood. For a nice warm cabin . Well stay warm guys . We in for more cold weather . Glad spring around the Conner. Blessing
Doug the easy way to REMOVAL that STUMP is four sticks of TNT bang and then used the tractor to fill the hole in left behind love your channel god bless you two.
dough and stacy cant say how impresed i am with you guys.... teal do keep up the work. i admite the fact that u guy value every thing that you guy harvest off you land many american need to learn from you hard earn success.... maby even your own reality show... i dont wactch reality show but this would be one i would live to watch...... the best parts of your videos is how genuinely happy you guy are....RESPECT HOMMIE LOL
Paul Bunnon Jr.! What a haul, you make my back hurt just watching. I love to see someone using protective gear when cutting wood and you can be safe and still make things funny! Hard work needs a little laughter to ease the pain and burn you get .
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY I really did! and sure wish I had teachers in school that were more like you and Stacy than what I had! Homeschooling, yeah , wish that could be the way for all children.
lol Great video! I'm glad some of us still have a sense of humor. Everybody knows that a stump grinder is the quickest and easiest way to remove a stump! 😁
Very nice work, and I like the music and the humor. Working a saw and an axe is the kind of thing that depends entirely on your mindset. I'd say you had fun by the look of it. Good on you! Thanks. Grey
Red Vinyl I know. Like you, I only read the first half of the title too & expected to see a real stump removal. If you didn't catch it about half way thru he mentioned being a descendant of Paul Bunyon before pretending to remove "a stump" (that was NOT a stump) with his bare hands and a big grunt.
I had to cut 10 full cords each winter to fuel an outside boiler. I can understand Doug''s humor and bragging rights for his work. I cut mostly dead white ash which is plentyful here in Michigan. I moved to where natural gas is available.
Put some of these greenhorns out there to try this stuff. I grew up felling trees and splitting wood for my Choctaw grandmother and the elderly people in the area who could not cut their own. Forget off-grid. In rural Blount County Alabama there was no grid,lol. I enjoy yall' videos and respect the lifestyle.
I thought is was funny and the reference to Paul Bunyan brought back memories most you ppl today don't even know the story behind PB but when you slide the top off the stump that was damn funny, good clean humor IMHO
thats a nice piece of firewood you're cutting. I've lived on wood heat quick tip get a radio TV antenna that is telescoping mount on saw handle pull out to how long you're cut is 16-20-24 with marks so on walk down tree making cut marks push back in go to cutting
Love the work. In one of your videos you mentioned that you were 6'5". I just knew that you had to be related to someone like Paul Bunyon. Thanks for another great video. 👍
That was funny, but hey that wood is beautiful, cut a slab off of one of those rounds and make Stacy a table? You are very busy, but if you did have time...cut the slab on a bias to make it a little bigger and that would be beautiful...a new table for the outdoor kitchen.
I only thought of it because my husband made me a coffee table from a slab of standing dead, yellow pine from a fire over 80 years ago as a tribute to my Dad...
lol so much controversy over joks. your number one homie is never butt hurt over your vids i enjoy your silly humor. I like it most when stacy looks at you like your crazy though lol. ...
Awesome how he goes and goes, some of that wood looks like it would be beautiful chair seats if cut thin. thanks I had a tree stump to remove where my shed is going. keep it going you two love the videos.
Wow, people sure are hooked on bein' negative!! Personally, I LOL'd, as I often do on this channel. I learn a lot, and I am reminded to remember to laugh at the same time, I love it. What an excellent blueprint for living! (y)
Please make a video about stump removal tips and tricks. Really need it. We only know the hard way of digging around them to loosen enough to pull out with chain and tractor.
Heeeeyyy Dougieeee, whats up Homie. Wrestling with wood, love it. Although I did not see you picking up those billets with that 'brute strenght' of yours, lol. I normally cut knots smaller so they are easier to split, you go some big pieces there. When I first started burning wood, I would have about 30 of those in my driveway during the summer for winter use. You guys are fortunate that there is no snow, we just got dumped and expecting more this weekend. Relax and enjoy, Shalom.
Here is a tip when cutting wood. From the handle end of the saw to the bar end of the saw is 16 inches. That is a quick reference for cutting equal length pieces. I walk down the log and mark the entire log, by making quick small cuts into the log, then come back and cut the log up. I will use the end of a file to scratch marks on the bar for 18/20/22 inch pieces depending on the stoves I'm cutting the wood for.
Hi again Doug have you ever used a powder wedge to remove stumps...they work great brings the stump right up out the ground...My grand father used it each time he cut down a tree...you drive it into the stump, fill it with powder, light it, then run like a deer until you hear the boom.....just a thought....
What in the world is with all these negative remarks? Come on people he is just trying to make things fun, it can not be serious stuff all the time. Doug keep it up buddy no harm in what I seen an I did get a few tips out of the video too. So quit your whining people.

Robert Everman you're 100% correct
For crying out loud, whinning babies, can't you see the bright side of this? Can't you see the fun he is having here. He is lightening your day and giving you something to smile about. Grow whinners. Great video my friend.
Did I miss the part about removing the tree stump :^(
None Ya He's not Amish or Mennonite. He just likes tho wear simple clothes. He explained it in one of his videos . He is only living here 4-5 yrs after Urban life.
6 =)
***** Useless?! Your the one that can't get the facts straight!! 😏
jojo archers I know right
I didn't see anything about removing a stump either. That's what I wanted to see
Here on our homestead, my wife just takes out her wooden spoon and threatens the stumps. And they lay over in shear fear. :) Godspeed.
haha! :D
Community Surthriveal can ya get her to come to my place i got a field full of them.
this guy has a tough job, can't imagine when the time there was no power tool
I can tell ya! The men were men! And the sheeps were scared! 😉
+Caiping Su Well get an ax and chop a 4" branch in half. To chop a 40" branch you will have to do 100 times the work.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face daily! We all need to enjoy getting back to the simple (yet not easy) life!
Sorry to see negative comments and thumbs down. Keep doing what you're doing. It's your channel.
I caught myself rocking back and forth in my chair helping you roll the logs into the frontend loader bucket....ha ha
love off-gridders and their mountains of on-grid manufactured gear. 😂
I admire your strength and hard work. That is not an easy task. Homesteading is surely not for the weak.
I admire your strength and agility, I'm 57 and would need a break cutting just halfway through one cut but I'm also fat and lazy so I have a good excuse lol. I'm just starting my homiestead and have yet to put my first seed in the ground getting close though. I really enjoy your vids keep me coming.

Right! And how DARE Doug trying to throw a little humor into the middle of it! haha :D
The point is he misled people into watching it. if he had not there would have been more respect for what he actually did. Take that as constructive criticism Doug and keep up with the good work.
Whats the big deal with all that, I'm a disabled person and use to cut 8-10 cord a year by my self and bigger trees than that... What I wanna know is why the hard hat if your not gonna use the shield while cutting, yeah he's got shades on but still...LOL
I agree. Misleading. Wondering what his "TRICK" was for stump removal. I wouldn't have watched just to see some guy cut up a tree. That's 9 1/2 minutes I'll never get back.
The Fewell Homestead totally agree
We had 8 trees cut down last fall and we helped and we're in our 70's and we had a good time.
Sick of seeing all the click bait on youtube. Some random arrows or circles in the thumb nail. Some claim to some "Amazing", "Crazy", or "The Best" in the title with no delivery. Then deleting any comment calling it out. Seeing it more and more from your channel and many others. Just plain sick of it. Glad to see you updated the title.
Unless you have lived this kind of life and know how hard it is shut up. They are great just to opening there life up to the public.
Suggestions:
Put your face guard down on your helmet. That's what it's for. The blade is too short on your saw and if you got a kickback it could hit you in the face.
Get a longer blade.
Shorter logs are easier to split when they are that wide.
Doug you probably could be one of those wood artists the way you handled this chainsaw. I appreciate your tips.
I would have moved it with the tractor. I'm lazy and my doctor just called and told me I have heart trouble at only 77 yrs old. I liked the video.
I like light hearted nature. Life's hard but we can live it with a smile or a frown. Bless you both. And thanks for the videos.
Dennis Marshall - Great Job. I wish I was that strong LOL.
Good one Doug. I like your Paul Bunyan stump removal technique!
I miss you & Stacy's videos so I just watched this oldie but goodie which I somehow missed. Sick to my stomach about the way this country is being run. You all are my rock in this mess. Thanks and keep it up!
"Related to Paul Bunyan" gave me quite a chuckle. But the stump is still in the ground.
I like y'all's sense of humor, upbeat attitudes & work ethic!💪💪💪🤣
Hey Doug and Stacy . Wow that some good Chuck wood. For a nice warm cabin . Well stay warm guys . We in for more cold weather . Glad spring around the Conner. Blessing

Good to see you were smart enough to have all your PPE. On while using the chain saw.

Thank you for your do it yourself videos. God bless you Doug and Stacy. 😇🙏✌️👏👍🥇🏆
Ho! Ho! Ho! I was looking forward to a new technique but you can never fault clean humour. Thank you!
OMG!! Who is this Rock Star? LOL I have a smile ear to ear.. Look @ you @Doug!
have a 13 year old lab we're very blessed to spend another day ourselves, thanks for camio of you pup.
I love how he wears a face shield but its flipped up. our safety guy would do the curly shuffle if he saw that. lol
lol Great video!
I'm glad some of us still have a sense of humor.
Everybody knows that a stump grinder is the quickest and easiest way to remove a stump! 😁
man I swear you are so talented skills is the best thing that a young man can learn in life cuz it's all about surviving and doing it the honest way
unaware that you're just a comedian, thought this would actually be helpful , enjoy life y'all.
HULKED THE HELL OUT OF IT! HAHAAHHA!!! Excellent Video!!!
You blind, hatin', idiots! You should see this is the best and easiest way to remove a stump on this earth!! LET 'ER ROT!! Works like a charm.
Paul Bunyan would have carried those logs on his shoulder :) have a great day
Called rounds not logs.
Can I call them cut up pieces of tree? :)
what ever happened to Babe?????
Hahaha, i love the family tradition of removing stomps.
Very nice work, and I like the music and the humor. Working a saw and an axe is the kind of thing that depends entirely on your mindset. I'd say you had fun by the look of it. Good on you!
Thanks.
Grey
Loved the video. Everybody could use a little humor in their lives. I know I need humor in my life! Thank you.
So, where's the stump removal part??
Red Vynil God,stood map to the end
Red Vynil read the title
Red Vinyl
I know. Like you, I only read the first half of the title too & expected to see a real stump removal. If you didn't catch it about half way thru he mentioned being a descendant of Paul Bunyon before pretending to remove "a stump" (that was NOT a stump) with his bare hands and a big grunt.
Boy my hernia hurts just watching. You go man.
Tim Caldwell I got one watching...lol!
Kudos on safety and smart way of moving those stumps! Work smarter not harder!
liked the video about cutting the trees and the "power move"of the stump!
I had to cut 10 full cords each winter to fuel an outside boiler. I can understand Doug''s humor and bragging rights for his work. I cut mostly dead white ash which is plentyful here in Michigan. I moved to where natural gas is available.
I give yall a big thumbs up, grew up just about 15 miles to the west in Vandalia!
Put some of these greenhorns out there to try this stuff.
I grew up felling trees and splitting wood for my Choctaw grandmother and the elderly people in the area who could not cut their own. Forget off-grid. In rural Blount County Alabama there was no grid,lol.
I enjoy yall' videos and respect the lifestyle.
Love the video!
Keep tearing out those stumps, Doug!
(and then maybe drop a few on the heads of the haters...)
Great tip on getting the tree off the ground, we just bought a Stihl Chain saw like yours.
I have always a great fan of this channel.....I love it even more now that I know you have a Lab!😍😍😍😍
That wood is gorgeous!! 👍
You funny feller. I try to look back when I can, Doug. I find the evolution of your channel to be compelling. (Let's see Dr. Leo soon, ha)
Doug is slimmed down. Good video.
Thanks Doug. Looked like a sick tree. Otherwise I'd cry about good crafting wood going to waste.
I thought I was the only one who removed stumps that way! Some people just don't eat their Wheaties.
Great video on a horrible weather day
Best. Stump. Removal. EVER.
I thought is was funny and the reference to Paul Bunyan brought back memories most you ppl today don't even know the story behind PB but when you slide the top off the stump that was damn funny, good clean humor IMHO
well then, shouldn't your tractor be blue? lol! :)
Well done Doug! Diggin the background music...throwing in some Harley day's theme👍😉 Heck with the negative 🖓😋! Here's to 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
You really have soft wood in North America. In Oz we have wood that you need a welder for.
thats a nice piece of firewood you're cutting. I've lived on wood heat quick tip get a radio TV antenna that is telescoping mount on saw handle pull out to how long you're cut is 16-20-24 with marks so on walk down tree making cut marks push back in go to cutting
Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching information video
Love the work. In one of your videos you mentioned that you were 6'5". I just knew that you had to be related to someone like Paul Bunyon. Thanks for another great video. 👍

Don`t you think the wood is a little dry to make a table from?
I only thought of it because my husband made me a coffee table from a slab of standing dead, yellow pine from a fire over 80 years ago as a tribute to my Dad...
Milestogotilisleep that's awesome!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That stump removal is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
bahahaha! You go Mr Bunyan! I needed to laugh. You guys are awesome. Thanks for brightening my day!💖
Ah nice! You’ve got an Allis Chalmers 5050. Great !!! That baby will haul !!!
lol so much controversy over joks. your number one homie is never butt hurt over your vids i enjoy your silly humor. I like it most when stacy looks at you like your crazy though lol. ...
haha I'm just a small fish, but if it means that much to you, I can make you a feature Channel Doug.
DOUG YOU ROCK DUDE!!!
Loved the video and keep the tips and videos coming we enjoy your videos and tips!!! 😁
No trick- no thumbs up no thumbs down.
Great job Mr. Bunion Jr, Jr, Jr, Jr! Hahahahahaha
Hi...... DOUG🎥👍👍👍
great video thanks for sharing
we got us a kubota last year with hubby wanting a skeleton grapple. I think stacy needs to get you one!
Everybody's drinking that hateraid again lol cool video bud !!!!👍🏻
Why that loud music? Give me the beauty of the saw cutting the big log!!
Awesome how he goes and goes, some of that wood looks like it would be beautiful chair seats if cut thin. thanks I had a tree stump to remove where my shed is going. keep it going you two love the videos.
That'll keep ya busy for a while...Haha and warm
Wow, people sure are hooked on bein' negative!! Personally, I LOL'd, as I often do on this channel. I learn a lot, and I am reminded to remember to laugh at the same time, I love it. What an excellent blueprint for living! (y)
We enjoyed it. Thanks for the laugh- fun video and good tips
Please make a video about stump removal tips and tricks. Really need it. We only know the hard way of digging around them to loosen enough to pull out with chain and tractor.
Cut the center out poor in some diesel light it and let it smolder and burn...its gone in a couple of days
Stacy will need to feed you a great supper Paul Jr. lol
nice job,lots of heat there,getting it,splitting it,burning it,lol,thanks
Nice strength! lol Love the videos!
I always suspected that a sharp chain was sharp and a dull chain was dull, and that was the difference, but now I know for sure.
Great personality, Paul, with good humor in the Vid... Just HAD to hit the "subscribe" button...! Thanks, Gordon
Good advice, just purchased our first chain saws, really helpful tip. Question how long does it take wood to season??
OMG, finally a video where a guy running a power saw actually has safety equipment on.
Heeeeyyy Dougieeee, whats up Homie. Wrestling with wood, love it. Although I did not see you picking up those billets with that 'brute strenght' of yours, lol. I normally cut knots smaller so they are easier to split, you go some big pieces there.

I cut timber in Alaska for forty years, and I swear,I've never seen anything like it!
Here is a tip when cutting wood. From the handle end of the saw to the bar end of the saw is 16 inches. That is a quick reference for cutting equal length pieces. I walk down the log and mark the entire log, by making quick small cuts into the log, then come back and cut the log up. I will use the end of a file to scratch marks on the bar for 18/20/22 inch pieces depending on the stoves I'm cutting the wood for.
We remove stumps the same way. Brut strength! LOL. 👍🏻
Hi again Doug have you ever used a powder wedge to remove stumps...they work great brings the stump right up out the ground...My grand father used it each time he cut down a tree...you drive it into the stump, fill it with powder, light it, then run like a deer until you hear the boom.....just a thought....
