Not much for comments either..,this channel deserves a lot of appreciation for the efforts. From me and mine to you and yours....we thank you and peace be upon you.
30 days ago today, with God's help, you inspired me to give up my 28 year binge drinking habit. Going strong and thrilled with the difference it's making in my life. Thank you!
Cow Farts Strong work! Keep up the good work and reach out to others if it becomes hard. Counseling is for the strong and there are other groups too if you need support. Keep at it because you CAN do it!
@@cbigg81 Thank you! I've only had fleeting cravings, but they pass quickly. I celebrate every positive that comes from being sober and it helps me ignore what I enjoyed about drinking. Got a doctor appt in 3 weeks. I may be able to come off of blood pressure meds after having been on them since 1996. Too many good things to risk by ever picking up another drink.
Seeing and hearing about people like you makes me feel honored to have fought for great nation. I love your forestry videos! I will keep your family in our prayers. God bless.
Mr. Wranglerstar your doin great 4 hours one man and you didn't get hurt it's a win in my book. Today it took my father and 4 hours to dig 10 holes and set 10 poles with concrete at an HEB. And the dirt was pretty compact with good size rocks in them so it's wasn't very easy digging but we got some strength training and endurance training with those post hole diggers.
You are one of few Americans that I apriciate! My advice for you "Just go forward and newer giv up!" You doing God's work and you are good in that! Gretings from Serbia Please excise my teribile English 😊
Watching you cut stumps, moving logs with choker and shackle, reminded me of working with my Dad and Grandpa clearing land, sometimes block and tackle with a short chain and a slip hook to pull out brush, so we could build Dad's last house. Then I thought, it must take Cody three times as long having to set up a camera for each of those shots. Close, you said four times as long. Cheers.
It' not a choker. It's just a too small piece of braided wire cobbed together with a cheap simple "shackle" from the local hardware store. It's all kinked and twisted. Yeah I guess you could call this "skidding logs" in some way.
Painting your chokers, chains and such a high visibility color like fluorescent orange or green or yellow can sure be helpful so you don't miss something on the ground. Wrapped a lost choker around my bush hog this spring. Had to cut it out of the bush hog which in turn started a grass fire then gear oil fire. Made for an exciting afternoon I'd rather not repeat. Got everything put out but was about 5 minutes from having to make the "call of shame" to the VFD.
You have a gift for making videos and reach a MUCH wider audience with them than teaching folks on your property. Start a school or retreat if it calls to you, but think of how to do it without undue personal cost (stress) or distracting from your current service. Keep up the good work!
Cody, another great video! I have 18 acres of land and I need to make my trails wider to get my kubota bx out there! I have a ton of downed timber just waiting to be harvested for firewood! Thanks for sharing!
I had a 1939 Ford 9N on my farm...I used it to harrow firebreaks....I learned quickly..it didnt like mud. Got me a John Deere 4x4 tractor now with front end loader ...BEST INVESTMENT EVER
The best thing you can buy for your tractor is a trailer. You can transport everything with it. Much better than a bucket. We use our trailer and tractor to transport timber, animals, people, tools and everything you can think of.
@@wranglerstar here a single axle trailer works just fine. Something along the lines of 6 by 3 feet. If there is enough space for the tractor in the forest, there should be enough for the trailer too. Ofc it might be different there but here in east Europe it works perfect
I love seeing the progression of the video titles and how they change lol. I sure wish winter/fall would show up here in Texas already. Its just too darn hot.
I'd love to do a work weekend. It's not just about getting free labor: I would love to learn! I recall a video by a German person living in the US. He said the weirdest thing is Americans will smile at everyone and say "Good morning" to complete strangers while walking around. He said he does it now out of habit. When he went back to Germany and did it, it was strange to others. At least half of Americans act like we're all in the fight together.
As a woodturner you hurt my heart to see you throwing what could have been some nice bowl blanks away. But then I see every tree as a potential candidate for a turning even pine.
I've been cutting wood sense I was eleven or twelve , I'll be fifty two in a few more days on the 22nd. I've now got plates, screws and bones from a dead man in my low back. I'm still doing it as I best my house with wood. It's not getting any easier lol. I'd love to have the set up you do it would sure make it alit easier. But, I'm not giving up yet and am waiting the release of the Stihl 500i. Hoping it will speed up my cutting , inturn making it easier on my back. We will see !
I've been debating on whether getting a tractor or a tracked skid steer. They seem about the same price. I suppose I would save time with the tractor but have difficulty getting in tight spaces where I can get anywhere with the skid steer.
im not american, im canadian but as a human we are the same put me down for helping, i think you should start a master list of people who are willing to in whatever and when that part comes up theyll be easier to mobilize, dont want to come across as a militant nut but youll have to treat alot of ths as a military maneuver
that thicket and pole comment just galvanized in my mind why /how i got me and two others lost for several hours while x-country skiing in northern finland
Cody I bought a choker hook for my. Chain so the links slide through the hook works great on logging stuff ya can add to any chain, any logging place should have I bought mine from kens bolt on hooks Jed had really good tractor hooks etc ...
Currently trying to decide on a tractor for my new property. 15 acres with 12 or so of it going to be pasture. Need to be able to pick up and stack large round bales and debating having a deck mower with it to mow the lawn rather than spending another couple grand on a zero turn. That Yanmar you have is nice, I just don't know if it has the lift capacity for what I'm needing.
All projects are done one set at a time. Something as simple as mowing a lawn, do the side yard, then the back, then the other side, then the front next thing you know the task is complete. Just how I think.
Any major change in life is much more daunting in pre-thought than in execution. Pray for guidance and wisdom. I am far away in South Africa, but supporting your planned project fully. Good luck.
Hey I am praying for you and your family and your idea as well and that God's plan is done! Your plan resonates with me as well,I think it's a great idea also! Blessings brother have a grace filled day!
Hello Cody love your videos, I have a great project for your channel. Build a log cabin like that Shawn James fellow from Alaska, but build it with your son. That would be a great thing to do together, and it could be for guests or for whatever you decide. Maybe a future homes for your son and his family.
I used to run chain for choking logs on the farm just because I could be way more easily adjust the length of the tail when needed. At times I needed a longer tail and at times I needed that logged me pretty-much nipping on the Hills or what I was pulling it with and now I do not mean an animal.
I would consider the work that needs to be done as an excellent opportunity to get real hands on experience and learn skills I don't have, or hone those that I do have. If I lived closer, I would so offer my help - just for the experience!! To me, I would be getting training for free! Great deal!
Just like in the previous video, for the first few seconds I though the music was a cover of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" What happened to the yellow high-tech log-skidding aid?
Have you thought of doing some high speed videos of you working. A little easier to just set a camera and work. No editing required or very little anyway. Love what you do. I’d have no problem coming out to help out. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I bought a new chainsaw, push mower, pole saw, weed eater to work on a piece of land I purchased. I set all of them down in the shade under my truck. Got a phone call to go to work and drove off and ran Over every one of them with my dully. Destroyed them. Lol. Valuable expensive lesson. Lol
Where to start...? Subdivide the land, make your own home, get that set up, safe and secure, with that a base for work from, then start to pick projects. Some ideas on projects; Cabins (rentable) Dorm style Bunk house Common building (would house kitchen, eating/meeting hall, Bathrooms and showers) The house you live in now could be converted to a home for the couple that you would hire to run a lot of the property and such and maybe another room or two for guests, and or hired hands. It could also be a meeting room and or office that is outside of your home. Build a large covered area that can keep you out of the rain, snow and sun, it does not have to have walls Uses of the large covered area could be for timber framing classes, could hold events like summer dances or your apple cider party. In the winter while it is not heated, it would still keep the snow off you and you could flood it and have Ice Hockey camps there. OK I'm spitballing here, but trying to help.... Don't forget the woodturning classes Cheers from Tokyo!
An interresting camera angle for your videos will be the inside of your cabine. Like to see the Joy sticks, and from above your head in the cabine. Sorry for my English structure 😉
God Bless You and Your Family 🙏 🇺🇸♥️ Remember that it doesn't matter what you start with it will always be the beginning 👍😁 Again God Bless and God Speed
After watching a few of your tractor videos, does Yanmar make wheel weights? I think a set for the front at least would make a world of difference for what you do.
I've only recently gotten back from a several weeks vacation and I'm unaware of the "plans" Cody speaks of, would someone tell me the title of the video he spoke of this in.
Learning a new skill always cost something ... if someone is willing to take the time to teach you with little or no cost and only a few days of work is the price then they are more valuable then gold
I was meaning to suggest on your ministry/school idea, I think you could go far simply developing 10 or 20 camping spots, maybe with some electricity or even sewer, instead of feeling like you have to provide housing. It would limit your audience but provide a good way to bootstrap and gauge interest. You could probably find local RV owners who would do weekly rental to let your non-rv owning campers rent something to stay in. Just some thoughts. As to the whiners talking about you just want free labor, I think its sad if they think the only compensation for good work is $$. Companionship, learning, fellowship, and new friends are all best made over shared work. Good luck regardless of your decision.
Generosity, Not like England where you have to sell your soul to get some milk or sauces put in your bag at maccies lol... I think it’d be really cool to get something set up like that. I’d definitely try to help if I can, although it’s a bit hard as I’m in the uk lol
I've got a week and would love to build something. Heck if you need a shed let's build a shed, the opportunity to hang out and create with like minded Christians is worth the flight costs!
Cody you said you were going to process this Gran Fir for firewood, how well does it burn? As the tree is dead standing will you have to wait a season to burn it, or is it dry enough? Safety Sally time here.... do the straps not work on them chaps? Just saying!

Was watching your video yesterday and said to myself, tractors really are a mans best friend! And then you titled your video the same. Made me laugh.
It sure is,
I used to run chain for choking logs on the farm just because I could be way more easily adjust the length of the tail when needed. At times I needed a longer tail and at times I needed that logged me pretty-much nipping on the Hills or what I was pulling it with and now I do not mean an animal.
Is there such a thing as a winch skidder attachment for a tractor for when the terrain doesn't allow the tractor to get near the logs?
Yes there is,
Cody, I recommend some expanded metal for your cab windows and a skid plate/cage
Us Canadian's as well. Don't forget your neighbors.
I’m looking into getting into forestry in the Isle of Skye in Scotland. I’m a tree surgeon at the moment but would love to do forestry.
I think you do it for the fellowship

Just like in the previous video, for the first few seconds I though the music was a cover of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"
What happened to the yellow high-tech log-skidding aid?
Just out of curiosity, would ag tires not be more beneficial in the woods than construction tires?
What safety arrangement do you and Mrs W have when you’re out working alone? Looking for ideas. Love the channel. Thank you
Ahhh back to the bread and butter! 👍
What are those blue straps called that we’re on the forks of your dirt bike

Looking for free labor? Over here!! I’d love to spend some time helping you guys.
Ditto
Same here
Man's best friend because Heart racer was in the cab!
Where to start...?
Subdivide the land, make your own home, get that set up, safe and secure, with that a base for work from, then start to pick projects.
Some ideas on projects;
Cabins (rentable)
Dorm style Bunk house
Common building (would house kitchen, eating/meeting hall, Bathrooms and showers)
The house you live in now could be converted to a home for the couple that you would hire to run a lot of the property and such and maybe another room or two for guests, and or hired hands.
It could also be a meeting room and or office that is outside of your home.
Build a large covered area that can keep you out of the rain, snow and sun, it does not have to have walls
Uses of the large covered area could be for timber framing classes, could hold events like summer dances or your apple cider party. In the winter while it is not heated, it would still keep the snow off you and you could flood it and have Ice Hockey camps there.
OK I'm spitballing here, but trying to help....
Don't forget the woodturning classes
Cheers from Tokyo!
Raise the grapple and it will lift the log a bit so it doesn't plow but skids.
what is that back bin that you have on your 3 point, did you make that yourself or is it something you bought online?
WHAT YOUS HAVE NEED NO OTHER'S TROUBLES KEEP THE HOME STEAD GOING ALL THE BEST.
Love your videos
A cable with a loop on each end is called a strap.
I call it a choker,
A strap is the thing that holds on a bra...
Just 2 days of videos of your moto ride? Thought it was a 4 or 5 day trip? Was looking forward to more
Welcome back
Hi. I think you have Bark Drills (Scolytinae). They kill plants and trees. Here in Sweden they eat spruce, pine and ash.
An interresting camera angle for your videos will be the inside of your cabine. Like to see the Joy sticks, and from above your head in the cabine.
Sorry for my English structure 😉
What chain would you recommend for cutting wood
It depends on saw, type of wood, experience level, etc
Oak mostly still 036 haven't cut wood in 4 or 5 years
I'm not your caliber of wood cutter but I do have experience
Touch base w/ Boss of Woods.
JC has it figured out.
Did you ever get the snowblower fixed? Seem to be a problem with low RPM ,
No, I gave up on it, useless,
@@wranglerstar your thoughts on a PTO driven, rear mounted type,
They work a lot better,
Best of wishes.
Great video👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Do you ever run into any snakes out there? If so, what kind a, how often, and how do you deal with them?
Thanx for sharing. What was that was scary found in tree on last video... To be continued it said waiting to 👂 from you. Can't wait to see 👀
the gas and bar oil gas can what brand is it? i looked on wranglermart and didnt see it.
It’s a Dolmar gas can, but they’re hard to find. Husqvarna makes a similar can.
@@Galt4570 ok thanks
Any safety tips to avoid snapping the steel cable?
Don't pull loads that exceed it's capability,
@@wranglerstar thanks
I completely agree with your comments about Americans!
Yep, it's true,
After watching a few of your tractor videos, does Yanmar make wheel weights? I think a set for the front at least would make a world of difference for what you do.

Cody please start small. Rent some tents for awhile make sure you want to go thru with that huge undertaking before investing huge money and time.

It looks like pulling from the FEL would tweak the loader. That might get expensive in a hurry.
I was meaning to suggest on your ministry/school idea, I think you could go far simply developing 10 or 20 camping spots, maybe with some electricity or even sewer, instead of feeling like you have to provide housing.

You could probably find local RV owners who would do weekly rental to let your non-rv owning campers rent something to stay in. Just some thoughts.

Doesn't this tractor have a DPF?
Cody you said you were going to process this Gran Fir for firewood, how well does it burn?
As the tree is dead standing will you have to wait a season to burn it, or is it dry enough?
Safety Sally time here.... do the straps not work on them chaps? Just saying!
