When I saw the log and then the saw, a Jaws expression came to mind. “You’re going to need a bigger boat”.
Katie’s huge grin after falling her first tree is priceless! You guys ROCK! ❤️🇨🇦
Katie, I have never seen you look so happy that smile was worth a million dollars. Now I see you being a lumber jack and just having a ball cutting trees. I like that you two are cleaning up all that underbrush that will help if God forbid there is a fire. There is a implement for the tractor called a ground plane, not too expensive and would help immensely in your yard and other work. Have a super blessed week, God please bless these two in all things.
Katie I'm happy to see try I hope you used safety standards go do it GIRL😊😊
Lumber Jill!
❤so very true Rodney with all your comments ... love these guys
Katie, your smile when you cut that tree down confirms you now are an expert tree faller. Blessings to you.
Katie the smile on your face was priceless when the tree fell. Great job. Alan
I hit the like button before I even watch ..love channels like this when they’re calm and just get things done without going over the top with weird editing….keep up the great work
Way to go Katie. If you review the video, you'll notice that all the other trees trembled in fear once she felled her first. A new respect in the forest has emerged.
Greg you are such a good teacher! Nothing but encouragement! Way to go Katie!
Katie, If you step to the other side of the tree, you will find it easier to hold the chainsaw while cutting. Secondly, do not run to the back side of a falling tree. get away at a 45 degree angle from the direction the tree is falling. it is possible for a falling tree to kick backward from the stump. Overall, good job for you first tree.
Omg Greg I thought that log isn’t really that big!! Wow until you actually were standing by it on the mill. It’s huge!!!
Yay Katie girl!!! You sure are not scared of hard work!!! Greg got him a keeper for sure.
Way to go Katie,😊 you did a wonderful job cutting that tree 🌳 👏
When handling a chainsaw, it is good to wear protective clothing to avoid accidents
Thouse musroms is good to burn in the stove. In the old days it was used alot
Hey Greg, If you use a squirt of just straight deisel fuel it will take the pine/ fir sap off of your saw blade so nicely. Give it a try my friend, it works great!
Sincerely, the old Montana cowboy

You two do great work I was 12 when I feel my first tree where I was born in 🇨🇦 Canada
Congratulations Beautiful Katie. You toppled your first tree. Nice cut for first time. Nobody got hurt and your gloves and safety glasses are a must. Hugs from Santa Barbara. 🤗😘🌹👏🍷😎🙏
You guys are knocking it out what a difference since you purchased the new piece of land, and your home is wonderful exciting and well built , keep smiling 😊 Al barr glasgow
Katie you looked so accomplished and proud. I love the fact that you two cheer each other on! Also so great to see people work the land that understand the importance of cleaning it up to prevent catastrophes later on.
take one of those plastic/metal water containers ,cut the top out, remove the tank and make a work platform/ bucket for your tractor forks. you two are doing an awesome job.
One very happy Katie cutting down a tree, great work clearing and getting more posts in. xx ❤️💙
Katie always keep your head up in the trees once your tree begins to fall! Widow makers cause a lot of injuries or even death!! I must admit you look pretty good falling timber! Be careful
Laying fence post is a lot of hard work especially when you have to create your own trail to do so. Love watching you two working together to accomplish all tasks. Loved the big smile on Katies face when she fell her first tree. Great job.
"Felling" a tree. English grammar police here. A person that cuts down trees is a "Tree Feller" aka "Lumberjack" in American English. ;) A happy Feller smile.
I love the video of the boys at the end, they are going to love showing it to their grandkids! This is exactly what raising them right is! And I wish you a speedy recovery, that bruise is huge!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done Katie….😲 cannot believe it’s 5 years..wonderful you two guys ❤
Ohhh my you two, it’s looks so good with the clean up of the land for the fence line, I can’t wait to see your landscaping project! Congratulations Katie on the tree downing 🎉😂! The sawmill cutting was amazing work and what a rewarding outcome Greg🎉!
A bush brush clearing attachment for your tractor. It would clean up your yard, tremendous and ensure a safer fire season
You guys have a beautiful place. Once Katie gets a little more experience with that chainsaw the trees will be in trouble, she likes a neat area and she doesn't like fire fuel near her home.
You two work pretty well together. It is a pleasure to watch you. Katie is quite tenacious. You both are, really.
Clearing the pathway and reducing the fire risk is a wise move. Katie's smile when the tree fell was immense. Your coaching and encouragement Greg was worthwhile. For reducing the oversized stump, I thought Greg was going to horizontally cut away the edges using a chain saw on a track. Then take to the saw mill. The new blade made a huge difference.
I know it takes longer than burning but chip or mulch as often as you can. Continue to repurpose as much of those smaller dead or cut branches into usable soil building material. Once landscaped, it will come together beautifully.
You guys are getting lots of work done. Congrats on the tree cut.
You can use your bucket to push your post into the ground. No hammering or split post.
You had beautiful weather. It's always a pleasure to watch you two tackle a project; you work very well together and get it done. I've said this so many times now, but have to once again; Katie, you never cease to amaze me. You are have a desire to learn new things are are pretty fearless. Your strong work ethic and tenacity has brought you so very far since moving out to the homestead. I've loved following you on your journey with Greg and the look on your face when the tree went down was absolutely priceless. I am so proud of you and your growth. Greg is a real master on the tractor and the sawmill, he can do just about anything. You two are the epitome of what a homestead couple should be. You accomplished so much on this video and the place is looking great. Katie, as usual you produced an excellent video and included all the random shots of the land and animals I enjoy very much. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to shoot, edit and produce this product for us all to enjoy and I want you to know that I appreciate it more than you know. Have a great week ahead and be safe out there you guys! ❤❤ Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Good job Katie I haven't seen a prettier smile in a long time❤
What a nice spring tan the Mistress has on her face!
Yah Kate, Queen of the chain saw. Well done Katie no stopping you now 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
FELLING your first tree is awesome!
That tractor Greg is the most important tool in the development of your property bar none! Such a vital piece of equipment for anyone doing what you and Katie are doing!
Katie is a BOSS. That smile after the tree fell Priceless!!
Ms Katie you are the best logger and land clearer I have ever seen and so pretty too. Y'all are working hard and having a good time . That wonderful smile is so heartwarming , its a good thing he got you already . he has found a real gem . You be careful and stay safe . Clean it up we dont want any fire .
Katie rocks! Katie don't let him make fun of you!!! You can do anything you set your mind to.
Nice job Katie! And I believe it’s called felling.
I worked at an industrial steel yard in Seattle for almost a year. We used the same type of blades; when it broke it was a crisis to get the new one on fast because we were so busy. but I remember we were always told if it breaks on the weld, we get a free blade to replace it. love that you get your wood from your land
You guys are doing a good job, continue to make progress. Katie, bring back the bangs, they’re cute.
As one who lost some of his hearing in the 1960's and now had hearing aids, you might think about adding hearing protection while using the chain saw.
So happy y’all are finally getting, consistent good weather. A lot of productivity going on at your property. It’s looking so good. Can’t wait to see what y’all get up to next. Stay safe, healthy, happy, productive,& blessed.💯😀👍🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I think she did a great job cutting down that for her first time, and she will get better over time nice job Katie
Congratulations, Katie, on cutting down your first tree
Good job getting some fence up, Great job falling the tree Katie ! If my teacher laughed at me I would salt their coffee lol, Good stump removal that little tractor is your best friend around the homestead :)
Katie, please don't stand behind the tree like you did as the tree is falling have because the tree can hang up and send the trunk back at you. You can't get out of the way fast enough. Good job with your first tree fell
Katie & Greg I Have used the bucket on the tractor to push the post into the ground when possible just start it straight DO NOT STAND UNDER THE BUCKET
Maybe try using some wedges to take the friction off your blade when milling your lumber.
You are both doing a great job and nice to see Katie cutting down her first tree !
Atta girl! Thats bad ass! It must feel so great to fell your first tree, more to go!☺️
Dear Greg and Katie, #1 Dearest Katie, NO MORE TIMEBER FELLING UNTIL YOU FIND A CERTIFIED HARD HAT - SAFETY FIRST! Other than that, congratulations on learning to feld timber. Just remember to look up and run like heck. A good timber faller has (A) two escape routes, (B) always looking up for a "windowmaker", (C) run the other way. Nice job on your first time out.
Greg, sure am happy to see you're satisfied with the new Blades. I've been counting your steps with the older hand sharpened blades vs the new "Silver Tips" blades and your 43% faster. With all that saved and stored energy, very soon you can work 43% longer. Thanks for the early show. Most Sincerely, Gene
Girls over in Pennsylvania (Lumber Capital Log Yard) just traded their LT40 for an LT70. Diesel engine now. Such a beast.
Greg, I noticed one of the dogs chewing on a bone. I sure hope is wasn't from your back. After watching you battle the beast, here's another suggesting. Find a used cant hook with an eye in the opposite end. Fund a piece of 1/2 " cable. You'll need a couple of cable clamps, and bread in "Farmer's eyes in both ends. on one end, don't forget to thread in the cant hook.
The next time you encounter a "beast" use the "cant hook cable to roll over your log with the tractor on the mill. Gene
With your landscaping... I'm sure you know this... but always try to make a small drainage ditch on the uphill side (especially when the road is next to that elevation change) Drain the water to a point where you can put a culvert pipe in to let it go further down hill. Yeah... I'm sure you know this... but I can't tell if that area is going to be part of the driveway/parking area or not.
Great work tackling the huge log Greg, thats a good start on framing wood. Katie making awesome work with that chain saw dropping her first tree, you have to let her do some more Greg with close guidance. Definitely keep clearing the underbrush, it's looking really good so far.
I love the smile after you felled that tree Katie! Not bad for your first try!
You go girl.
Hi Greg & Katie, that’s the way to break your duck and the smile on yours face said it all 😊well done as per usual you show Greg that any thing he can do you can do as well. Perfectly well done even to the fencing you can do anything and everything. Well done to the hardest working couple on you tube. 😊😊😊xx
Wow Gregg the new saw blades are amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent work breaking down that monster log. I think the big/flare end is called the horns.
The little birds at the beginning of the video are fun to watch. We have them down here in the Bay Area. One of them keeps banging into our back door and windows, trying to get in. Silly bird. Love watching your channel.
You could gather big boulders to line that hillside with so it doesn't wash downhill. Looks clean.
That big log was deceptive as it didnt look that big until you put it down on the mill and came up to it, well done and thanks for taking us through the process it is really interesting
So good to see you work right along side Greg 👏 that’s how I am and it’s a good feeling
One suggestion. I have a new holland 35hp tractor similar size to your kioti. I made a 1200 lb concrete and steel counterweight for the rear end, it was night and day difference. I can load a full bucket and not have a bouncy rear end. The hydraulic pump will stop lifting the bucket before the rear tires come off the ground now. Off grid in northern BC.
Greg good showing on the mill. Katie great job felling that tree.
Fencing looks great !
Very good job Katie girl you did a very good job sweetie Greg's taught you good you keep smiling and you keep going you're doing a fabulous job
Congrats Katie on the new skill!! You both have added so many skills to your CV’s😎 Going to look so nice with so much flat usable areas!!
You can wrap a tow strap around the large logs and use your forks to roll it on the mill.
I loved the sawmill challenge with the large tree!👌
Love that smile on Katie’s face as she nailed her first tree cut🥰 there isn’t anything stopping you now gurl way to go. It would be nice to have one of those small mini saws for all the smaller branches hopefully one of those companies can sponsor you. God bless and take care❤❤❤❤
Your property is looking great all you're hard work is paying off !
Good job on the tree katie! Don't forget to keep looking up at it to make sure you know when it starts to fall. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When you sharpen your blade you also need to set it. At least every 2-3 sharpenings. It'll cut so much faster. The Silvertip blades are the economy blades. The high-alloy steel ones stay sharp much longer. Carbide are even better.
Spring is coming!... Good job LUMBER JILL!
Very nice job on those 2x4s. Fence is coming together nicely. Safety equipment definitely a must, however I noticed no hearing protection on Katie's ears while running the chainsaw. Probably should wear some and save the hearing.
A nice bit of lumber Greg from that one log love watchinging you cutting the boards relaxing for some reason betcha it smells great too. Fun to watch ya fell that tree Katie .. Yay way to go girl !, lol. Very nice that you have started your fence line things are looking up at the off grid cabin.
Wow! I really enjoyed that video….. well done KT for felling your first tree….and getting 40 2x4’s from that huge tree …I thought nope….but couldn’t believe how you managed it….loved it. 🥰🥰🥰
You are doing a great job. I hope y'all get better. The puppy is getting so big. How's your training going on her. As always be safe and God bless you all.
You have such a nice property. And well done Katie for your first tree.
Just want to say, power couple goals. Love to watch you both. Amazing 😻
Nice bunch of 2 x 4's! Perseverance pays off well! And they look like real quality! You will not get 39 of them, that length for that price - free log plus your labor, at HOME DEPOT !! It is a steel!!
That fence is coming along nicely.
Lumber Jane...good job!!!
It might have been a bad cut but the job got done lol way to go Katie 👍👍💪💪
Try using the forks and a pallet setting the post. More room to stand, more room for tools.
Your video reminded me of the fun I had clearing my back yard that looked like your project today! I was so afraid of chainsaws, until I used one!!!
Nice job with the milling and the tractor work doing the leveling, Greg.
Kate, great job with the weed-whacker [chain saw] too!
Other protective lumber work gear: Ear protectors, helmet, shin guards, or lumber work strap on 'pants'. And, steel-toed boots are another safety requirement, of course. And, most certainly, wear a long-sleeved shirt, too.
I ended up with a major case of poison ivy when we were building our home in Northern Virginia a couple decades ago. We had acreage that had too much poison ivy growing up trees, and even rooted onto the trees. The chainsaw was really helpful, but there were times when I had to go with a solid blade on a heavy duty weed-whacker to cut the vines, but the sawdust would still fly and inevitably get on my skin someplace. I learned the hard way about long-sleeve shirts. - Please learn from my mistakes... unless PI & PO (poison oak) don't grow there [?]...)
Ohhh my you two, it’s looks so good with the clean up of the land for the fence line, I can’t wait to see your landscaping project! Congratulations Katie on the tree downing 🎉😂! The sawmill cutting was amazing work and what a rewarding outcome!
Great job cutting the tree down Katie. You got a great instructor, and you’ll be cutting more down in no time.👍
sound intensity of about 109 dB. Without proper hearing protection, running a chain saw for only 2 hours🥰🥰🥰
Looks great glad the weather is nice to get these chores done..
Hello Katie and Greg. I don't have a sawmill, but as I saw it, you have three limitations on your mill. Length, which may never come into play, height, where you showed us the maximum and width which you did point out for the second cut. You may have had a fortieth 2 x 4 out of the edge pieces but may have not been worth the trouble. At any rate, being off by 2.5% is really good for eyeballing it. Have good days!
Nice work. Your property is looking awesome
Just ordered your zip hoodie...we are going to be building off grid in Tasmania and can't wait...have watched you guys for years and love what you've achieved...big fan from Australia
Great Job Kate and Eric!!!!😇!😇!
Good job, Katie! You GO, Girl!
Nice job Katie on taking down ur first tree❤️🇨🇦
