I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I have used a Stihl462 24 inch bar and an echo top handle to limb. Best combination I have had and I ran my own tree service for years.
Sawmill with those woods would be a game changer for sustainably.
Roast chicken, gravy and rice!
Gina, I do gravy in reverse.... I put the flour and broth in a mason jar, seasoned and shaken up, then whisk into the hot fat or drippings. Not right or wrong, but maybe easier?
Your getting me so excited, to find out what adventures we will see in the "500 Acre Wood" Keep the great videos coming, and thank you for making it the best part of my day each day!!!
Hey Al whatever you do try to get two chainsaws. I got a Stihl 362 with a 20” bar this year and it’s a beast. Very powerful, easy to start. BUT very heavy... I was getting so fatigued using the saw for longer periods and I’m no slouch I’m a big strong guy. Kudos to guys that do it for a living. So I got a much smaller Stihl that I use for limbing and pruning. While twisting, bending and reaching during limbing your shoulders and back will thank god you have a lighter saw. that chainsaw you already own looks fine for small jobs and limbing. All you need is a big saw now. Just my opinion have a great day.
Good morning, Al, Gina and Olivia! It's a brand new week, I love that, no matter what mistakes I made before, God gives me another chance! 👋😃
Goood morning
Amen!
Amen!
@@LumnahAcres stihl has the best saws plus stihls has saveing on them plus $100 to $500 with perchuse like mine did
@@LumnahAcres stihl has good saws plus they sell moto mix in cans all ready to go wich its great
Giblet gravy I make it every Thanksgiving. I make mine like Gina accept instead of chicken broth I use turkey broth salt and lots of pepper with tiny bits of turkey meat mixed in. YUM!!!!!
When people ask which to buy Husky or Stihl, this is what I recommend, go to a good chainsaw shop, one that you trust, ask around you will find out which shop is a good shop, not a big box store, but an actual chainsaw shop. See which brand of saw they sell and work on, buy that one.
Cheers from downtown Tokyo (where I own 5 chainsaws!)
Stu
Good advice Stu. The equipment shop staff specialize and have far more knowledge and they can guide you along will some pre-thought from RUclips.
Yup. Buy a good brand with a hometown service shop that is near you!
Couldn't agree more. All the online opinions plumping between Brands A or B cancel one another out. Choose according to locally available dealership service on either of the obvious top brands.
@ Tokyo Craftsman ,
I'm surprised that you need a chainsaw at all in downtown Tokyo .
husqvarna makes good saws like stihl but i wouldnt buy husqavarna 22'' mowers wich had so much repairs seince bought it 2017
My son is an Arborist / Tree Climber. He and his dad and Uncle have and use, on a continual basis, Stihl Chain Saws. They are a tough machine. I have a Back Pac Blower, made by Stihl, that I have had since 1994 and have never had it serviced. I have hundreds of hours on it.
It has made me a lot of money blowing leaves So happy with it. A Stihl is the way to go.
20:15 Why not drop a 2x6 into the slots of the bed liner (behind the T-Post driver)? It will keep your gas cans, saw and other loose items from skating around.
For a subtle change instead of chopping the carrots into circles, slice them diagonally or even cut them into matchsticks. For easy gravy just use stock or stock cube and cornflower saves making the flour/ butter roue. How is Cap'n Morgan the new rooster getting on?
I have a Stihl Farm Boss that’s 36 years old and still doing it’s job!
What i got too
A good morning to you all. I don't know much about chain saws but if you have had that one for 15 years with only minor repairs, I would say that is a very good recommendation for Husquvarna. Maybe one with a longer bar and I think gas is the best for the bigger jobs. Have a Blessed day. My gravy preference depends on the meat...beef with beef, chicken with chicken etc.
I have discovered that my Husqvarna mower has a “knock off” Honda motor in it and the top end went in under a year.
I am a loyal Stihl user and I like Husqvarna but not so much since the mower came to such an early demise ....I would say a gas powered saw since you won’t be able to charge batteries and I’ve seen an electric saw go right through chaps.
I think gas would be safer in a remote setting.
Love the new land! What an awesome place!
Congratulations
Whatever brand you buy, make sure it is a "pro saw" longer lasting and higher performing. Electric are for indoors and sometime users. (my opinion) I suggest a "mid sized" or larger saw. A saw you can put at least a 20-24 inch bar on. (easier on the back, do not have to bend over as far)
Have you tried the premixed fuels, TruFuel? I love this stuff! No more mixing and out of balance ratios. Never had any go "bad" on me after opening and setting for weeks or months. Been using it in my Stihl MS 290 farm boss for 10 years. Saw always cranks right up, no matter how long (months) it's been sitting. I recommend both!
Looking forward to your new adventure, I'm so excited and happy for y'all.
premixed fuels for me do not seem to gel or go bad. I fueled up my husky backpack blower three years ago and I needed a couple of days agao and it started right up. I do not use my saws often any more and I always use premix any more costs more but I do not have to take apart carbs and rebuild them any more
@@krazykeltic8103 yup cheap insurance. We've had enough issues with pump fuel.. we have a airport for a avgas for our genset
Way cheaper to mix your own if you can find ethanol free fuel.
@@rg1599 if you can find. our only non ethanol is avgas and the premixed is cheaper
I like milk gravy. And use drippings. Or rendered fat. I know its not supposed to be good for your heart, but it's so good.
I have owned a Husqvarna Rancher with 20" bar for over 10 years, runs like a champ.....highly recommend.
I have a Stihl MS 261, good power not too heavy and 50ish cc, very happy with it.
Good morning from Utah with cup of coffee in hand and a smile on face but oh what a cold cold morning it is here. It got down to 10 degrees last night and it will only be 34 today plus we got SNOW. We are getting your storm I guess. All week it is going to snow and be in the 30's. I miss it when you don't post a video, I know you only do 5 a week but that means 2 days my morning's are lost. I got to see my March of the Goats and that is worth the wait. I love country gravy, and this might sound awful to you but I hate ketchup except on meatloaf, I love it on my meatloaf. Thank you for sharing your life with us you tubers I know I am always enjoying it. God bless.
Some FYI. This happened to a friend of mine. He did like you did at the gas pump. When you use a pump that has one nozzle for all types of gas when you pump you get about 1 to 2 gallons of fuel from what the last person pumped. The best way to do this is to put about 2 to 3 gallons in your truck before putting in you gas can. My friend went to get warranty work done on his saw and they would not fix it due to ethanol fuel in the system. They told him about the gas pump issue. I go to a place that has a dedicated non ethanol pump. This I hope will help when you get your new saw.
www.wsj.com/articles/SB122944043385810527 - "According to the American Petroleum Institute the gas-pump hose typically retains about one third of a gallon of fuel."
My fondest memories of my dad was him making sausage or bacon and then standing at the stove watching him make the best gravy with the drippings you have ever tasted.
Whoa...game changer! Never considered using bacon drippings for gravy. I cook bacon in big batches so always have pre-cooked bacon in the frid. I drain and filter the fat into glass jars which are also stored in the frid. I'll try to make a small batch later this week. Thanks for the idea!
Gina, great job with the gravy. You're getting so proficient in the kitchen. It helps to have enough time to cook instead of rushing home from work to get a dinner on the table. I like your home cooked simple meals. Yummy. Al, you actually maintain and rebuild your tools. It seems miraculous to me. I'm used to using the tool until its died. Most men in my life didn't have
a clue about tools. Well anyway I admire you folks with that skill. Good job!!!! Enjoy your mild weather. Blessings
Most chainsaws are pretty good and as long as they stay tuned up will drive the chain which is the important part of cutting. Proper chain sharpening and maintenance are where the joy comes from cutting wood. A dull chain would not even cut that wonderful gravy Gina made.
My favorite. Gravy is boil the broth then in a little cup I put a tablespoon of corn starch with 2 tablespoons cold water stir tell dissolved slowly stir into broth stir until thick, repeat if not thick to your liking but add slowly you might not need all the second batch of slurry. When you put in the outhouse it would be nice to heat it some how ,solar power ? take it from someone that is experienced using outhouses in the winter!
Morning team Lumnah! I love your channel and truly believe you folks are producing some of the most quality wholesome content on the youtubes! I suggest a Stihl MS261c we use this on my wildland fire fighting crew, and it has a great power to weight ratio! Good work!
It's really nice to have a battery saw to buck tree's with and small trees but for that property to do trails and clean up you're definitely going to want a nice gas saw for sure.
The snow shows you now have a two lane goat highway in the ladies' paddock, with a lane reduction and merge right before the hay feeder.
It's wonderful to see "The March of the Goats" - they were motivated in this video to get to the feeding station! One of these days, it'll get moved a tad closer to the barn...
I love all kinds of gravy. Cream gravy, by itself or with sausage, over biscuits. Yummo! Use about the same amount of flour & fat. Stir that until it starts to brown a little & then add your liquid. The flour needs to be cooked or you get a pasty flavor. For brown gravy, I do the same but add a little Kitchen Bouquet so it doesn’t look so pale. It adds a little bit of flavor also. White or cream gravy, add milk. Brown gravy, add liquid from the meat &/or stock + a little Kitchen Bouquet. I hope this helps. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
To answer your question at the end of the video, my favorite gravy is the gravy that goes over biscuits - well some days my parents made the gravy and we put it over toast. Oh, and my grandmother used to make giblet gravy that was perfectly seasoned that went over our mashed pots, turkey, and cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving/Christmas.
My grandfather on my mother’s side did all the cooking and he would make giblet gravy. He was a great cook. I love sausage gravy with biscuits.
Southern cornbread dressing with homemade giblet gravy oh yes I will be cooking this with my turkey and having homemade cranberry sauce and fresh collard greens with smoked meat and cheesy macaroni and cheese.
Thank you for your meal preparation sections of your videos. I know its hard to come up with something different each time but sometimes it's just nice to have a simple but tasty meal.
I've always gotten good service with Stihl saws here in the Douglas Fir woods of the PNW.
Cream gravy cooked in the pan meat was cooked in, doesn't get any better than that. I have never made gravy using butter. Always oil. Cook you up some sausage for breakfast. Then add a little oil, get it hot, add flour. Stir until it's mixed with the oil, then add milk, salt and pepper. Serve over biscuits, yummy!!!
Congratulations on your PERFECT GRAVY!!!! I won't disclose my age LOL but at times I still mess up my gravy can't win them all. Gods blessings to you all.
I like frying left over meatloaf with gravy. And then fried potatoes made from boiled.
Gina, you made me laugh doing dinner. "We're having something super exciting for supper tonight- ok, it's really not". 😀 24:45 Then the traveling peeler.
Keep your old carb, rebuild it, for a spare. I bought a new chainsaw in the mid 80's, and use today. When I'm done with it, I pour the gas out, start it, run it dry, then choke it, and run it dry again. May I suggest go gas chainsaw (tree trimmers and lumbermen don't use electric), and Grand Union News' suggestion of mill sounds good too. Thank you for your excellent videos.
Gina, for beef gravy get some " Kitchen Bouquet", or use organic beef bouillon cubes.
Gina, you have become such a great cook. I live to watch what you make. It inspires me to try different things.
Al , you are going to have so many trees to cut down. I do not know anything about saws, just that it looks like alot of hardworking to cut and chop them. . I am sure you will get lots of feedback from others.
You both have a beautiful homestead and family. Olivia is blessed to have such caring, kind, faithful parents. Peace and love, from Connecticut
Morning Stihl chainsaw I have that about 35 year old run great
Got a 1974home light. Plugs and air filter. It’s a beast and a gas hog. But it neverfails me. Three steels and husky , farm hand ? Clean fuel. I buy non ethanol and add stabilia and sea foam. Half the recommendations of each.
A Stijl is the best, a 4 cu in 24in bar is all you will ever need. Maybe a smaller one for trimming. These are what I used to cut wood to heat my house and water, I built a water stove to heat everything. Worked great, good luck Al.
I loved the gravy "boat" looks like the ones we use. On holidays I get out the big gun,my granite percolator, to use to hold all the needed gravy. 💜
Sthil or Husqvarna either way you can't go wrong as they are both great saws. I am partial to Husqvarna saws as all the loggers I know recommend them. Either make you go with I would recommend a gas powered professional model over the homeowner or ranch models. Check out the Husqvarna XP lineup, thinking the 550xp or something a lil larger like the 572xp. I currently have 5 saws all together right now. My fathers older than me Homelite XL-12, a Echo CS-301 top handle, Husqvarna 455 Rancher, 550xp, and my beast the 395xp. Have a great day!
Morning homesteaders , I would definitely be going feul driven Husky for them trees , just have more faith over battery
From the reviews I've seen, battery appears good for periodic cuts around the property... especially if your house is in a crowded neighborhood. Think much less noise pollution with the electric. I don't think it's ready for prime time in terms of holding up for a day's worth of woodcutting. A gas saw for sure.
ruclips.net/video/_aBZt8m1XkQ/видео.html - I love this fellow's down-to-earth tests. Very relatable! 👍
Gas powered Stihl with a longer bar. 500 acres to clear is massive. Good luck from Jamaica.
I vote battery for two reasons. Fuel availability and expense and ease of use/reliability. Diversity is a consideration. You already have a gas saw. If you add a battery one you could do comparisons. Thanks again for the great video.
@@TomTalley Plus you can have a few charged batteries on hand; just swap in a fresh one when the other dies.
Gina, I find the best way to use that peeler is to hold the potato in the palm of your left hand tilted slightly away from you. Then holding the peeler with your fingers/thumb around the handle, stroke down from your left hand towards the scraps bowl. Also with boiling your veggies, I use broth instead of water as it adds so much more flavour and I save the liquid and use it a few times then add it to a stew. Plus I don't use so much liquid as it dilutes the nutrients of the item (just have the broth so it is level with the top of the veggies).
You’ll need a sawmill, not another chainsaw! “Free” lumber changes everything in a homestead.
AGREED. I recently bought a Wood Mizer LT15GO. It is the best tool ever. When the loggers leave the "tops" you can mill those into usable lumber. I am currently doing just this. The loggers are leaving logs that are 8 to 20 inches in Diameter.
Chainsaw mill
That chainsaw is going to see more wood than it's seen in its entire lifetime. And I agree, it's time for a Wood Miser.
The guy on the "Outsider" made his Miser pay for itself.
Just buying a new carb is a great idea, it's a cheap and fast fix - just $15 for my Briggs.
@@travelnc2g that is a good short term solution for sure. If he wants to do more lumber, @ Robert has it right
Yup I agree. But a new saw will help as well. If I was Al I would get the Stihl 362 and also a small light limbing saw. He need a bigger tractor to handle log movement. Something with a grapple would be perfect. In the 50 HP class. 500 acres will be a lot of work. He will be able to work a life time heating his home etc and never have to cut a live tree. Just clean up what nature provides. However the mill will allow him an endless supply of lumber.
I loose stuff in my implement drawer too .. could it be that I have too many tools? Nah, not possible! .
The homestead is looking great. Are you going to put doors on the side of the new pole barn?
Looking forward to seeing the Homestead again and seeing your plans. Thanks for being a part of my day. Love seeing the goats every day and Figaro and the dogs. The dogs run All over the place so fast! Have a great week!
I do not suggest cheap aftermarket carburetors, but more importantly teach yourself to adjust a carburetor and that 345 would run fine. If the chain continues to turn at idle, the clutch springs are likely worn. Not a hard job for someone mechanically inclined such as yourself. If it changes speed without touching throttle you may have an air leak. The 340/345/350 series were known for having a plastic boot clamp that failed often and is warranteed.
Electric saws will continue to improve, I've used a 540iXP and it was a great replacement for a ~40cc saw, but at $900 with one good battery I'd stick with gas for now.
For a 50cc saw I have a 550xp mark I, 550xp mark II, and ms261cm (the later version). All superb, go with what you prefer and the dealer you trust.
I'd guess a 50cc pro saw would meet nearly all your needs, but a 562xp or other 60cc saw is a big step up in power. 70cc is a real midsize saw, a 572xp or ms462 are both excellent. All saws I've mentioned so far are self-tuning btw, so you can avoid learning to tune. A used pro saw in that range isn't too expensive either, something like a 372xp, 044, 046, ms440, ms460 etc.
Drop that power sharp chain and learn to file a regular chain. It makes far more difference than your saw brand.
Echo and Dolmar/Makita are also top brands. The MS500i is nice, but is actually pretty old technology besides the fuel injection they took from their concrete saw line. Also, it costs double what an equivalent Echo saw does (7310sx) and doesn't really perform appreciably better.
Wish you still lived in MA, I'd let you try out a bunch of saws to make it easier!
Your knowledge is impressive. Hope Al is able to take you up on your offer.
Stihl 18" min for your needs, plus use premix fuel on our 2 stroke items, last forever and stays even when setting for 6 months
Goodmorning lumnhas acres family hope you have a blessed day.
Morning. Love the size of your carrots. All i can buy from the store are skinny ones which i hate peeling so many to get just a few to cook with. In Wis. we just had that nice weather. Turned off heat and opened windows. Nice. Did you know if you give chickens eggs that are cracked in egg form you can end up with chickens that will crack and eat eggs in the nest? I am sure someone has mentioned this already. Have a great day.
I have owned several brands of chainsaws over the years. Two years ago I bought a Stihl. It is so easy to start and the power is great. Also, made in the USA.
I thought stihl chainsaws where made in Switzerland.
@@bobfinning8587 Mine says made in USA
@@danpar1184 Hi Danny, apparently the parts are made in a town called Wil in Switzerland and then shipped out. They are assembled in various places all over the world.
Thanks Bob.
@@bobfinning8587 only a few Most of it is Made in Germany or the US
Adjustment tools are available at bailey's, amazon and other online stores. You need to also should have a compression tester, a 17 year old saw, you lucked out. Ancient guy who run the chainsaw shop, that could fix anything, would not work on a rough running chainsaw without doing a compression test, found a lot of problems, and could tell you what was needed before even opening it up
Husqvarna, Stihl or Jonsered are all great saws... Good Luck!!!
I love seeing Olivia tending her flock and collecting their eggs. She does such a great job. Gina, you had that gravy! You doubt yourself to much, your cooking skills are great and you have me drooling each time I see your meals. I am trying to use the knife like the chefs do too. lol It takes practice for sure! Your gravy looked so yummy, the whole meal looked yummy! I just made gravy too, to have some extra for my crusted chicken pot pie. I do a top and bottom crust, so like to have extra gravy to pour on.
Chainsaw wise, stick to one brand, more interchangeble parts and tools make things much simpler.
Gina paint peeler handle orange it shows up in drawer better.
Gooooooooood mernin'!
Goooooooooooooood Morning
Don't know how you did it, thinning and soil quality maybe, but those are the best carrots I've ever seen. Been trying to figure out all season! And that's one nifty gas can you got there!! ⛽😎💖
Al..if I might offer a word of advice, throw away that dollar store mixing oil and use only official Stihl or Husky mixing oil.
Good advice. You'll never go wrong with OEM 2-stroke oil
Until you try the race mix for dirt bikes....😉
Go with what your local dealer sells, services and has part for. Get the biggest the budget will allow and grab a rough cut chain as well. Use a quality 2 stroke oil to help with smooth operation as well.
Ahh the aged question of which chainsaw! For me it is a question you have to answer yourself, but I will offer the following as to how I go about it. I have run both Stihl and Husqvarna, for me the Husky was a bit better ergonomically and it has more grunt, the Stihl on the other hand always started better and seemed more reliable, but I have never had any major issues with either.
Two main factors I consider is what is sold in my local area and what work I am doing. I prefer to get equipment from smaller agricultural / garden machinery shops we have in the UK. They tend to have an allegiance towards one manufacturer, but they will have a better range of stock, hold spares and usually offer a repair / maintenance shop as well. I find they are better to get a relationship going with and in the long run will give you better deals and service.
My second is to base the engine size on the bar length I am running. The bar length is based on the type / size of trees I am cutting. I am comfortable cutting trees up to 3 diameters more than the bar length, so I can use a smaller saw. Its harder work and you need more accuracy, but I find it is more fun. If you are not comfortable cutting diameters larger than the bar length, then you need to consider the larger saws or get trained. I then select an engine size that will work with the bar length I have chosen, looking at the manufacturers specification I will select an engine size that can run bars around 25% longer that what I have selected. I have always found that saws struggle when running the maximum length bar the manufacturer has specified.
Larger size saws cut wood like crazy, but they get heavier as the day goes on. If you can get the truck to where you are cutting it is no big deal, but if you have to carry to the work site, the saw weighs even more on the way back at the end of the day. They also take longer to sharpen the chains, but if you have a good local dealer, they may be able to offer that service for you. Larger saws are quite good for limbing softwoods as you can stand up straight, but are a pain to manoeuvre and more tiring when limbing up hard woods.
Small saws are harder to work, especially if cutting hardwoods, but I find them more versatile and I can use them all day. There is less chance of kickback when limbing and they are cheaper to invest in and easier to start. They are usually easier to jam in the cuts as the wood moves, so a good set of wedges and an axe / hammer need to be considered.
I would also take a look at spares if you are working away from a support area. I carry spare chains and bar nuts. A field sharpening kit. Usually a spare spark plug and the tools required. Back in the truck I have a spare bar, fuel filter (that was the little filter in you spares kit), fuel / oil caps, more chains and the extra tools to deal with issues. All of this adds to the costs when setting up a large saw, but no where near the cost / frustration of being out in a wood with an unusable saw for the sake of carrying spares with you.
I would only use battery operated for small jobs like the ones you have tackled around your homestead. If you plan to be out for a day cutting wood, then gas seems a better option to me.
Try making a roux with equal parts flour and butter, gently cook it in a saucepan on very low heat to desired color, while stirring. Cook at least long enough to lose the raw flour taste.
Stir in your liquid and seasonings and bring up to serving temperature. There are many advantages to this method
Stihl 500I fuel injected chansaw
Good luck finding one...
YEP LIKE I SAID BEFORE, STIHL FUEL INJECTED, IS WHAT ID GO FOR IF I COULD,
Fuel injection for small engines is still too new to be reliable. The Stihl 500 if you can find one is over $1,000 USD. Would I purchase a fuel injected saw in a couple of years? Yes, once the bugs get worked out.
They are new here in the US but been out for quite awhile in other countries. Just like anything nothing is perfect everything will break but last longer the way you take care of it
@@edwardpodhrasky9144 I quote you; ''...last longer the way you take care of it'' a HUGE yes to this. I have 40 years old chains saw (Homelite XL AO and Jonsered 52E) also a 23 years old Husqvarna 371xp and a 18 years old Jonsered 2095 Turbo (more a milling saw) all with original carburator and still working strong, with regular complete cleaning and maintenance (regular gas filter replacement).
Don't know anything about saws, but I know gravy! We usually make gravy with the stuff left in the roasting tin after cooking meat or poultry. The roasting tin has to be able to take direct heat on the hob. Heat gently and scrape all the bits up. Add flour and gradually add stock. Season to taste, strain if preferred, simmer to thicken. What you get is brown and tasty. Always been served brown gravy, but in US you are quite happy with a pale roux, or a sweet one made with milk. Freaks me out visually, but tastes good. No such thing as bad gravy!! Regards Stephen.
I was just wondering where did you get your jerrycan that looks really nifty
I just googled SureCan, there are a lot of places selling them, not cheap, but neither is gas when you spill it...
I got one at Sam's club. Somewhere in the 30 dollars range,
Lowes 21/1 gallon 39.99
@@robertvarney4291 The one at Sam's club is 5 gallon for around that price.
Al, before you buy,I would first go to the new property and measure your biggest tree. That will give you an idea on the size you need. Seems your having it logged, let them take the big ones. We have both,hys.stl and one green one.
Goodmorning from Wisconsin! Have a blessed day! BTW - your Philippians 4:13 reference on your fridge has been a great reminder for our family in the last couple weeks.
Gooood morning. It has been for us too.
I’ve noticed it too! I read it every video in your kitchen!
💞I also find comfort and strength in Romans 8 v:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

You should try using a cleaver instead of a chef knife. I use it for practically everything plus the weight of the blade helps with the chopping.
OK your low speed problem on your saw.
there are three adjustments on that saw, I think (looking online) there is a white screw, a red screw, and a black screw.
I could not see which screws you were adjusting on the saw.
Here I pulled this off Husky's website...
=====
The adjustment screws work by fine-tuning the carburettor. Think of them like guitar strings. When they are not set perfectly, the sound and performance will be off. The letters on the screws represent High (H), Low (L) and Idle (T). The H screw regulates the Air/Fuel mix during high RPMs, while the L Screw does the same during low RPMs.
The T screw regulates how much fuel is sent to the carburettor while idling until the throttle is pressed.
L Screw - With the chainsaw still running, take a screwdriver and turn the L screw clockwise. Keep turning it until the engine almost stops turning. Next, begin to slowly turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise until you hear the engine idling smoothly. Rev the engine and check for a nice, smooth and responsive rev up. Keep making fine adjustments to the L screw until the engine accelerates smoothly.
T Screw - Next, locate the T screw. This adjustment screw is responsible for adjusting the chainsaws idle. Begin by turning the T screw clockwise until the chainsaw chain begins to move. As soon as you notice it moving, turn the T screw counterclockwise slowly until the chainsaw chain stops. The engine should continue to idle smoothly with the chain not moving around the chain bar.
H Screw - The final step is to adjust the H screw. Screw it counter-clockwise until the screw comes to a natural stop. Do not try to force it beyond this point. You will notice that the engine sounds rough. You then want to begin turning the H screw clockwise until the engine sounds smooth. Give the throttle trigger a little squeeze. Smoke should not be blowing from the exhaust, and the engine should accelerate with ease.

Al you need to adjust the "T" screw (Black I think) to slow the speed of the saw down so that the chain does not run at idle.
I hope this helps.
Cheers from Tokyo!

We run a small stihl for limbing and a husqvarna 455 rancher for felling and large cuts. We cut about 20 cords a winter. Our stihl tends to be more finicky. The spark arrester gums up (we actually remove it in winter) and the carborator needs more frequent cleaning. We like both saws but find the husky to be more dependable. Minus regular maintenance it's good to go. The stihl likes more attention.
I could eat cream gravy on everything!!! lol
See if a store around you sells these (Price is wrong here. Usually $2.50 a can) Add a little water to make it soupier. Very tasty and fast if you do not want to take time and make from dry.
Delicious over Corn Bread and served with homemade potato salad
Seasoned just right.
I'm getting old, can't pull the roper like I use to. I bought a green works 18in, up the bar and chain to 20 in, got 2 battery 80 v it lasts A lot longer than me. just saying
Go with the (Stihl MS 500 I) it is fuel injected very powerful very responsive on throttle
I’ve owned 5 stihls and have had 3 blow up one blew up at the store when they did the test start. I’ve owned all of the major brands and I do a fair amount of cutting between cutting small wood lots with friends and cutting my own trees for my saw mill and firewood I’ve been happiest with my husqvarna 562xp but I think maybe the 550xp would be better suited for liming and cutting up already down stuff and probably be a lot easier on the back at the end of the day.
Al, I'm always amazed by your diversity of knowledge. Also your willingness to learn new things. Love your channel!
Goood Evening Al, Gina and Olivia...Hope your Sunday was a blessed one
It was thanks! Hope yours was even better
Have a blessed week. Keep safe. Want to see more of you guys in the days to come. Anticipation on seeing work on those 500. Gods blessings be with you. 👁👁ya
Check Consumer Reports on chainsaws. Good source, and no bias. I would check on a portable wood mill, and then select a good flat area to dry your wood slabs, if you're interested in that.
Not sure how far away the " Lumnah 500" is from the homestead, hopefully traveling won't be too much of an issue.
Yikes, Al needs to watch the do's and don'ts of operating a chainsaw since he did about the most dangerous technique of starting one at waist level you can do since the saw came back towards he legs while doing it. Indeed pulling it thru is always best on the ground when getting it first running since many are likely to have the throttle trigger pulled in as they do it and at a minimum he should be wearing Safety Chaps regardless since it's where most injuries occurs. Most accidents occur when the saw breaks thru the wood because many are forcing it at maximum pressure at the time instead of backing of as the pitch changes is why the tool often swings wildly especially when a dull chain is involved. Hearing how a saw is going is as important as using it safely and it's true of nearly every power tool you can use since few realize that it's also a safety consideration since the force/pressure that needed near the end of cut etc is so much less than at almost any other time. Most of those who've bought a chainsaw operates them by just learning how to oil/fuel them and bad habits will come back to bite you since it's one of the few tools where the safety feature is in how it's handled more than a chain break/cutoff switch they have built into them..
Gas powered chain saw for the remote property, of course. I love seeing Figaro on the fence and on top of your truck cab. He's such a character!
WE like using cornstarch instead of flour for making gravy....... it thickens b beautifully , and doesn't clump like flour !
Also consider using arrow root - another choice for a gravy thickener! We've found that between flour and cornstarch, it's the most neutral in taste.
Gina I would also like to suggest using cornstarch pre mixed in water first when your butter and broth come to a boil. Simmer to your desired thickness!
Well my feedback is Tri Steel another thing is when you're looking for ethanol fuel try truck stops I noticed a lot of them have it specially Buc-ee's
Don't let anyone tell you any different, gravy IS a beverage! ☺
Good morning ! .. WE have owned Huskavarners all our adult life.. Steeles too, but the Hu
skavarna far out does the Steele....in performance and longevity.. WE also have a huskavarna tractor/mower that we purchased over 20 years ago and it is still going strong !
Look at reviews on the sthil 500 Al I’ve heard it’s a really good saw I believe it’s the first saw that is fuel injected
Thanks
Stihl MS 500i
@@LumnahAcres IF YOU WATCH outdoors with the morgans he does a review with the fuel injected one, and he has a saw mill, you should get a good mill and mill youre own wood especially how costly it is,
@@ronoday7630 Outdoors with the Morgans is just a infomercial channel. It seems thats all they do is flog product. JMHO
@@ronoday7630 Agreed... having a saw mill could also be an income stream eventually. He'll also need a way to skid the logs out, and get some big chains.
What will you be doing with the farm you are at now? Will you keep both farms? I asked this question a week ago but didn't see an answer.
Al: Wear that seat belt!
Gina, next time you thicken gravy use corn starch and mix it with water to a runny paste before adding it to your broth. It works so good and quickly. You won’t have to continually stir just bring to a simmer
Always go Sthil .. Gas Powered all the way. Best Chain Saws ever.
Greetings from Ohio. I will say one thing for you. Your carrot crop has been amazing. The other channels I watch never seem to have good luck with carrots.
pure-gas.org lists a station in the town, near the highway, selling non-ethanol fuel.
Edit: Never mind...teach to not comment until I watch the *ENTIRE* video.
Here in southwest Virginia, we've got Royal and Southern States that sell non-ethanol gasoline. While expensive, the pre-mix fuels sold are great for first spring fire ups and last of the season saw usage. The plus side is that these pre-mix fuels have long shelf-life.
I have several saws, Husky & Stihl, and one i use quite frequently is my Husky 395xp. I have several bars and probably 20 chains. I use it with my alaska mill and a rip chain more than half the time. Be sure that if you are going to get a chainsaw mill you get ripping chain for whatever length bar you use. Its amazing how much better cut it is over a normal crosscut chain.
I hope to see you start a solar farm on your new property. Making money selling power back to the local power company.
Hi from North Wales in the UK. I use a Sthil 262 gas powered saw and never a problem. Very easy to maintain.
Stihl - excellent quality, german engineering. I'm prefer Stihl Moto Mix pre mixed gas/oil for long term storage, no deposits, max power, no smoke. 😷🐓🐾🐾👍🇺🇸
Yeah we've blown a old 034av bad gas canned fuel always
As a Sweede I say Husqvarna but Stihl is also a good brand. It depend on the thickness of the trees if you should go for battery or fuel. Battery is lighter and if you have alot of smaller trees and brush it will feel better in the arms and back at the end of the day ;).
Hey, everybody! Let's see if we can comment on chainsaws enough that Al can show it to Stihl or Husqvarna to get a sponsorship!
I vote for the Stihl - made in USA 👍
@@samvalentine3206 They Stihl are!
So just yesterday April Wilkerson had a comparison video of stil chainsaws one gas one battery. You might find it helpful. As for myself l've cut wood for 30 years I've used Poulan, Stil, and Huskavarna chainsaws. All good saws currently I have a Huskvarna and a Poulan both gas. I averaged about 11 to 12 cord a year. Hope this helps
Just wanted to comment on your Sure Can gas can. The can was invented by my neighbor right here in Ogden Utah. He was a general contractor and cabinet maker. He designed the prototype for the first can out of wood and plastic parts laying around in his shop. You two have a lot in common. You both know how to do anything you put your mind to. I’m always amazed by your ingenuity and energy to get things done. Stay safe and have a great day. 🤩
I'm sad, I want one of those Surecans (I think it's a great idea) but it seems hard to get in Australia. Postage to get it shipped over is just too much.
