I do enjoy watching your videos. I like how you include your family in your projects and especially your son who wants to be with dad and he is learning, even though he doesn't like salamanders. A very important part that you include in your videos is your desire to keep God first and in your family. A huge reason why I like your videos.
Your opening "open-minded" monologue made me hit "subscribe". I'm a HUGE tree-hugger, but I think that loggers, arborists, and everything inbetween are as well, to at least a degree. Some of my fav channels here on RUclips, such as Buckin' Billy Ray, My Self Reliance, and others make the most of nature, and in a most respectful way, and I get that sense from you as well. The only reason I own power saws and axes is because I had to do a good deal of yard cleanup a couple summers ago following a hurricane. Now I'm a complete addict...but NEVER to the point where I'd bring something down just for the sake of running my saws. Great content! Keep up the good work!!
I understand your position and support it 100%. It is by far the best way to steward your land. Your way helps protect it and fosters healthy growth of other timber. Bravo!
Totally agree with you. I've got similar problem on my land in Australia. I can hear trees creaking in the paddocks, and have heard the falling when I'm out there. I thin out the dangerous trees, like the "widow makers" (leaning trees) and those that look unhealthy. Those trees are the ones that will fall like the others, and when I've cut them down, they've been eaten out by termites, leaving little actually holding the tree up. Love your video's! Please keep them coming.
A true woodsman, you are! Ive worked with wood my whole life, and really appreciate someone who cares for his trees so well, thru its entire life cycle. You sir, are a rare bird!
I agree with you on thinning the weak and dying trees out, especially when you can use them. I also like the way you get well away from the falling trees. A lot of people just stand there gawking at the falling tree, unaware that it may kick back or twist on the stump. I like your videos.
I "learned" this "on paper", and the _first_ mature tree (more than a bush) I felled was an 18: diameter pine. As it started to move (to fall - the cut started to open) I removed my saw and moved back away from the tree ..... it snapped off cleaniy at the hinge, and then bounced a good 6ft up in the air!!!
@@pulaski1 Greetings from Australia on an early frosty morning! Just as the Fall Line Ridge man did here, we are taught by the experts to get well back from the tree at a 45 degree angle to the direction of fall. There are three categories of a ticket of chainsaw competency here, (NSW, not sure about other States) first is just cutting on the ground, eg. fallen firewood, Cat. 2 is being instructed on how to fall trees and Cat. 3 is how to fall trees which may have something wrong with them, perhaps a hollow centre or ant damage on one side, basically anything that requires more thought than a Cat. 2. Yep, that's right LtCol, we have to have what is basically a license to operate a chainsaw here if any sort of employment involves that type of work. But weekend 'Greenhorns' can still go and buy a chainsaw Saturday morning, go out that afternoon after firewood with no training and cut their leg off. Since the training system came in here, there are very few accidents. The vast majority of accidents now come from Greenhorns.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I love your tractor too.You are doing a great job managing your forest and, through these videos, educating a very ill informed public about a truly sustainable resource and you are leaving a great legacy for countless generations, well done.
Another one of your fine videos. I especially appreciated your thoughtful explanation about the "why" you cut down trees. And yes, we are stewards. Well said.
Great video great work and great life!. I live the same way and I enjoyed watching Your forest. 95% of the trees will die early because of the natural selection. Nature never leave the empty spot. Knowing when, how and why is the key. Thank You.
Amen brother keep it up good job love the video. Been a carpenter woodworker the majority of my life. I love the smell and the looks of good Lumber being utilized like it's supposed to be like you said God made it for us. What a blessing to see young man working hard and providing for his family. God bless.
Great u-tube video, one of your best. I always enjoy watching your fallineridge videos. I absolutely agree with your explanation of 'why you cut down trees'. Keep up the great work. Terry
@@DaysOfDarknessUK Land has to be managed. One reason for the profusion of the forest fires in California is that people left the forests entirely on their own. The occasional fire keeps the major fires from happening, as can be seen also in Florida where they do controlled burns every few years. That's just one reason we manage the forests. Another is that left to their own, forests can grow on their own into monocultures. By properly managing the forests we can have wood to sell that pays for the management and animals have have habitat too. It's a win win.
Thank you for your inspiring videos, I myself have cut a few trees as I make wooden dough bowls and do a good bit of wood working, like yourself I try to cut dead standing. I appreciate your words at the end very much, It's apparent you aren't ashamed of the Gospel. May God continue to bless you and yours!
I am a new subscriber with notifications turned on. I really enjoyed everything you are doing. It the same kind of things I enjoy doing. I am in total agreement with you common sense management practices. But most of all I enjoyed and appreciated your testimony at the end. May God continue to bless you, Paul From Texas
Really nice video! Good job! Preserving the nature and the environment is extremely important and you cut trees to do so, not as those big companies and corporatins which are destroying it, you're a hard worker who's just making a living and that's the right thing to do. Congrats 👏
I've always loved lumber and building houses, and just about anything with a roof on it. Great to see good thinning of trees it lets others grow and more trees get started. Great video and hope you have a great evening!
You’re absolutely right about cutting down trees. I own about 75 acres of forest that has overgrown and even need to clearcut certain sections that can no longer be thinned, something I don’t want to do but is necessary.
I was raised in and around the old-growth evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest and have seen my share of strip-cutting by "outsiders" and the resultant overgrowth of brush. The end result, unless and until reforestation takes place, are more frequent and fast moving fires, erosion, and loss of habitat. In managed harvest areas where, as you stressed, trees are cut down with future survival and growth in mind, the forests are much hardier and there are less fires. Many things enter in to managed forests, not the least of which is diversified use and "boots-on-the-ground" management. And lets not forget diseases and insect epidemics. Of course, as with anything of beauty, man does his share of damage and destruction. Keep up the good work and the positive, encouraging attitude!!
Love your camera views on this one! That took some time! I also appreciate your final words! You will not satisfy everyone watching as some people are never satisfied no matter what. Just keep doing your thing and if those people want to stop watching, good!
The alarmists will go into conniptions about the felling of a tree but you explain it very well and hopefully they listen (although I doubt it!). By removing the weak/dead/dying timber you allow the rest of the forest to flourish.
I agree with you that when you own a woodland you should strive to be a good steward for that piece. If you have lots of smaller trees crowded together, then none of them can develop a big canopy with lots of leaves that use more carbon and produce more oxygen. So thinning out your woods is good forestry practice and also good for the environment in the long run. I think a lot of people don't fully understand that so I applaud your efforts to provide information and enlightenment about the issue. Better to use our renewable resource for making structures than covering them in plastic (vinyl siding) that uses up our oil.
I am a bit of a tree hugger myself but I have had way too many college courses on the value of a well managed wood lot to not appreciate the logic of your comments. Great explanation sir!
I clicked on the video when I saw your tractor, I think I was 11 yrs old when my dad bought a brand new Ford 3000 in 1967 I learned to drive on that thing and was doing all the tractor work on our dairy farm soon after. Ploughing 3 furrow, planting with seed drill, cutting hay raking and baling, I even used it to visit my gf 20 miles away xD I even still have a large die cast dealers model of it I got when we bought it Loved that tractor p
I would not worry about the people that's a bad things..... As long as you know you're doing a good thing..... I would not worry about what they say..... Somebody is always going to disagree with you.....especially on the internet.... Thank you for the video.........JJ...
I like your videos, you really show respect for nature, and how to partially live off the land without being destructive or irresponsible, and without super fancy equipment. Other than good old hard work and elbow grease ofc
Thats a good running L65 Husky you have there, I appreciate when I see people running the old muscle saws, I get a certain amount of joy from it, even though it may not be my fastest saw, I appreciate how well the saw was designed and runs based on what years it was produced.
New subscriber. I enjoyed the video. Everything you said was correct. A landowner has to manage the land for it to be healthy for generations to come. Cheers from Evening Shade Arkansas!!!
I think you are right on the money with your forest management and it is good that you take time to explain your management reasoning to the people that don’t understand. I was always told that each ring in a tree represents one year of growth but the way you explained it on the tree you were counting rings on that 158 rings equaled about 79 years could you enlighten me on that I would love to know what you have been taught learned yourself over the years also that would help me to understand better for myself and thanks for the great enjoyable videos.
You're doing good work, man! You could burn it to the ground if your wanted to, it's yours... You don't and that says something without the words. Btw, as soon as the first tree you felled hit the ground I could see the Blue streaking and knew what was coming. Very nice! Keep up the great work. Thank you for it! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
What those who criticise you for harvesting forest product is that you may at any point in time decide to plant trees - fruit, vines and/ or trees indigenous to your area. Nowhere are you prevented from developing the woodland in years to come - also, the way I see it, opening up the forest a bit allows for new growth! Thanks for sharing - we enjoy watching... maybe because we'd all love to live your lifestyle too!👍😁
No need to plant another tree or two after you fell one. By letting in all that extra light, there is no telling how many trees spring up to take its place.👍🏻👍🏻Enjoyed the video.
Gotta love those old Ford tractors. Change the oil regularly and you'll give it to your great grandkids. Yeah there's no power steering and power brakes but there's also no plastic or computers to fail.
i just found your channel and was really interested in what you were doing. then, lo and behold, you quoted the teachings of the Bible and i really perked up. thank you beyond measure for your beliefs and ethics.......g
Great job, planting trees is the beginning of returning marginal land to forest, but you must Manage the Forests. I have planted thousands of trees but can no longer manage them so my nephews now have to Manage the trees. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the great vid!!! Good to hear someone else using a similar approach. We have a number of timber clusters that are too tightly grouped to remain healthy long term. So we'll take out the standing deads first, transplant many if the younger ones to more open ground, and thin as needed from there. It has been a slow, steady progression but well worth it.
I'm really enjoying your videos, Sir. I had trouble going to sleep tonight, so after my brother feel asleep (after we played some cards), I think I watched about 3 of your videos. I would love to be able to do what you're doing and mill my own lumber to build my own log home. I also appreciated your common sense approach to tree harvesting and your biblical explanation of our responsibility as stewards of His creation. I'd love to be able to wood work, but wouldn't know where to start or where to do it. I do believe I'm tired enough to get some zzzs now.
First of all I Iike the fact that you give God the credit for this beautiful creation that we live in. He gives us dominion over the earth that must be approached with proper balance. God is good! Next I have learned a lot about milling lumber from watching your You Tube videos. I've only been doing this for about three years and am still pretty green when it comes to knowing how to cut up a log. Thanks, a brother in Christ.
Hello, the way you are working in your forest I completly agree with you, the way you're using your tractor, your chainsaw, your sawmill and specialy the way you talking care off yours boards. I'm taking care off My forest pratically like you for more than 43 years like a garden and presently for 27 acres that forest produce more than I can cut, I usually sell 2 ten wheelers of logs 10 and 12 feet long to a sawmill in m'y village and I cut 17 to 20 face cords of firewood each year . You might be interested from where I'm from: 120 kilometers south of Quebec city near Maine border. Happy to become a suscriber and I'll be watching your vids even the old ones. Take care friend, cheers.
Thanks for explaining the principles of good forest management. Thanks for being a good steward of God's creation. Another thing to consider is that you may also be lowering the carbon footprint of the wood you use by creating it all on site.
Love all the camera angles. I completely agree about not needing to plant trees yourself. When you cut a tree it already has left seeds that lay dormant that now will be able to grow with the right rain and a little sun light. Maybe touch on that in your next video for people who aren't totally outdoorsman type.
Yes! The globalists really got spanked when it was proven that the rainforests regenerated themselves wherever some logging occurred. God provides for our needs no matter how loud His haters scream. God wins in the end. You gained a subscriber today FLR.
i just wanted to tell you my friend i relally enjoy ur vids love the way u said at the end of the vid about the lord may god fully bless u and ur family and keep them great vids coming
Dx Fire I am a “city folk”. And I agree cutting down some trees is a crime. Also not a big fan of clear cutting. Seems a big waste to me. However I am a woodworker. I respect the harvesting rather them clear cutting. Harvesting implies selective cutting of trees that are ready, due to size, health, or need for that wood. Clear cutting is to forest the same as strip mining to the earth. Mostly waste.
Here in europe it is actually illegal. And you need a permit to cut down trees... People usually get away with it and never get fined, but the risk is always there.
@@vahula thats right but i have met several mates from different countries and all have confirmed that it was so in their country too. Maybe latvia or some other tiny country has this different, but western europe is all the ssme
Great job man! You're doing good! Glad you know and follow the truth of the Holy Scriptures! Take care and thank you for your great example and for laying down according to your possibility an inheritance for your offspring! Much more blessings to you and your family! I'm looking for my small acreage of woods but in Miami Florida its being hard for me to find a good more economic price in the lands I've found.
Genesis describes what and who we are. It describes our dominion over the earth. Glad you spoke of your beliefs. I was not surprised. Blessings to you and your family. Watching from Choupique, Louisiana. The hurricanes took many oak, pine and pecan trees to the ground. Almost all will be wasted. We don't use a lot of firewood here. We are about 40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I actually saw a trailer loaded with oak slabs in Lake Charles today. Made my heart glad.
Good job , it's about time someone made a video like this . The forest service needs to learn this they are too lazy and don't maintain the forest and woods which in return causes major forest fires.
Here in North Dallas seems like the prairie is turning into woodlands when we thin out we cut mostly all hackbarry, and cedar tree to leave room for the better oaks , and pecans, that provide more shade and less water. Helps also with keeping fire danger low too.
Usually the fastest way to tell someone who knows what they are talking about from those that don't, the ones who whine when someone cuts down a tree also don't know their rear end from a hole in the ground. They live in the concrete jungle and whine about things they know nothing about. Keep on keepin on, great job! :)
john dowe, light gauge steel frame housing is cheaper, unless you're harvesting your own lumber at no cost. I guarantee that when compared with buying a wood frame house or even a wood kit house I see many people in the USA converting into cabins from the likes of barns etc., I can deliver the same size houses in steel frame not only at a lower price, but it can also be built in half the time ! Not only that, but as Gammareign correctly states above, it'll be fire resistant, extreme storm resistant and termite resistant, as well as being earthquake proof, damp proof and mould proof, as well as being considerably better insulated against cold and heat! All delivered to USA building codes and regs. We do this all the time all over the world, but the USA tends to prefer to stick to its flimsy wood houses which we see as quite dangerous in comparison. Let me know if you want to try one my friend....... see us and contact us on www.bsi-steelframebuildings.com All the best....
I started to understand how you were measuring around 24:10 from this camera view. a once over would help me what you're looking at and a straight on view.

I dont know what it is about watching a sawmill...I am so relaxed and i am so jealous. i want one.
Also...i love that southern accent youngin'!!
Gotta love those old Ford tractors. Change the oil regularly and you'll give it to your great grandkids. Yeah there's no power steering and power brakes but there's also no plastic or computers to fail.
Nice job fall line ridge, that lumber will definitely come in handy, 👍
I manage my bush with the same approach...keep up the good work.
i just found your channel and was really interested in what you were doing. then, lo and behold, you quoted the teachings of the Bible and i really perked up. thank you beyond measure for your beliefs and ethics.......g
Great job, planting trees is the beginning of returning marginal land to forest, but you must Manage the Forests.
I have planted thousands of trees but can no longer manage them so my nephews now have to Manage the trees. Keep up the good work
Great video. Especially liked your closing comments. We are so blessed and sometimes fail to see that.
Jack Lo Without a doubt. Appreciate you watching.
Wes, so glad to see the Ford back in the vids. Hope the water/transmission problem is solved. Another great one my friend.
Should of dropped the tree on it lol
Well-said, thank you for the explanation! God bless and take care🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the great vid!!! Good to hear someone else using a similar approach. We have a number of timber clusters that are too tightly grouped to remain healthy long term. So we'll take out the standing deads first, transplant many if the younger ones to more open ground, and thin as needed from there. It has been a slow, steady progression but well worth it.
I'm really enjoying your videos, Sir. I had trouble going to sleep tonight, so after my brother feel asleep (after we played some cards), I think I watched about 3 of your videos.
I would love to be able to do what you're doing and mill my own lumber to build my own log home. I also appreciated your common sense approach to tree harvesting and your biblical explanation of our responsibility as stewards of His creation. I'd love to be able to wood work, but wouldn't know where to start or where to do it.
I do believe I'm tired enough to get some zzzs now.
what an amazing quality video, some of those shots are crazy cool,
First of all I Iike the fact that you give God the credit for this beautiful creation that we live in. He gives us dominion over the earth that must be approached with proper balance. God is good! Next I have learned a lot about milling lumber from watching your You Tube videos. I've only been doing this for about three years and am still pretty green when it comes to knowing how to cut up a log. Thanks, a brother in Christ.
Nice setup and great editing. During the blade change I heard a woodpecker protest.
Nice job on the vid. Don't let the naysayers bother you.
Hello, the way you are working in your forest I completly agree with you, the way you're using your tractor, your chainsaw, your sawmill and specialy the way you talking care off yours boards. I'm taking care off My forest pratically like you for more than 43 years like a garden and presently for 27 acres that forest produce more than I can cut, I usually sell 2 ten wheelers of logs 10 and 12 feet long to a sawmill in m'y village and I cut 17 to 20 face cords of firewood each year . You might be interested from where I'm from: 120 kilometers south of Quebec city near Maine border. Happy to become a suscriber and I'll be watching your vids even the old ones. Take care friend, cheers.
Thanks for explaining the principles of good forest management. Thanks for being a good steward of God's creation. Another thing to consider is that you may also be lowering the carbon footprint of the wood you use by creating it all on site.
Man's desire to build!
Glad to see the safety gear.
Amen great video, just saw your videos for the first time. God bless.
Love all the camera angles. I completely agree about not needing to plant trees yourself. When you cut a tree it already has left seeds that lay dormant that now will be able to grow with the right rain and a little sun light. Maybe touch on that in your next video for people who aren't totally outdoorsman type.
Yes! The globalists really got spanked when it was proven that the rainforests regenerated themselves wherever some logging occurred. God provides for our needs no matter how loud His haters scream. God wins in the end. You gained a subscriber today FLR.
Right on! We do the same thing. Have a blessed day my brother.
Off Grid In The Pacific North West Thank you, sir!
i just wanted to tell you my friend i relally enjoy ur vids love the way u said at the end of the vid about the lord may god fully bless u and ur family and keep them great vids coming
currently dealing with an overgrown woods myself.. lots of dead ash trees in my area.. very sad to see. love your videos!
Thank you!
I don’t think anybody can object to this kind of tree felling. This is a long way from clear cutting. This makes sense. This is simply management.
Dx Fire I am a “city folk”. And I agree cutting down some trees is a crime. Also not a big fan of clear cutting. Seems a big waste to me. However I am a woodworker. I respect the harvesting rather them clear cutting. Harvesting implies selective cutting of trees that are ready, due to size, health, or need for that wood. Clear cutting is to forest the same as strip mining to the earth. Mostly waste.
Here in europe it is actually illegal. And you need a permit to cut down trees...
People usually get away with it and never get fined, but the risk is always there.
@@rronaldreagan Europe is run by libtards....
@@rronaldreagan Europe is big. All countries have different laws
@@vahula thats right but i have met several mates from different countries and all have confirmed that it was so in their country too.
Maybe latvia or some other tiny country has this different, but western europe is all the ssme
Trees are a renewable resource. Good job.
Great job man! You're doing good! Glad you know and follow the truth of the Holy Scriptures! Take care and thank you for your great example and for laying down according to your possibility an inheritance for your offspring! Much more blessings to you and your family!
I'm looking for my small acreage of woods but in Miami Florida its being hard for me to find a good more economic price in the lands I've found.
I just love it when people from the city’s tell rural people how to be stewards of the land. They just don’t get it.
Genesis describes what and who we are. It describes our dominion over the earth. Glad you spoke of your beliefs. I was not surprised. Blessings to you and your family. Watching from Choupique, Louisiana. The hurricanes took many oak, pine and pecan trees to the ground. Almost all will be wasted. We don't use a lot of firewood here. We are about 40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I actually saw a trailer loaded with oak slabs in Lake Charles today. Made my heart glad.
Good job , it's about time someone made a video like this . The forest service needs to learn this they are too lazy and don't maintain the forest and woods which in return causes major forest fires.
Great video! I wonder how people complaining about logging drink their Starbucks out of a paper cup.
Here in North Dallas seems like the prairie is turning into woodlands when we thin out we cut mostly all hackbarry, and cedar tree to leave room for the better oaks , and pecans, that provide more shade and less water. Helps also with keeping fire danger low too.
Tie God’s word within your life, love it☺️😇!
Beautiful videography and editing.
That ol’ tractor running, is music to my ears!
Usually the fastest way to tell someone who knows what they are talking about from those that don't, the ones who whine when someone cuts down a tree also don't know their rear end from a hole in the ground. They live in the concrete jungle and whine about things they know nothing about. Keep on keepin on, great job! :)
Love your videos, keep em coming!
God bless you. Greetings from Africa.
People in their wood framed home, sitting on a wood framed chair. Wondering why people cut down trees.
My chair is made of steel and we might want to start building houses with steel framing for fire, storm, and termite resistance.
@@Jemalacane0 good luck paying for all that steel
john dowe, light gauge steel frame housing is cheaper, unless you're harvesting your own lumber at no cost.
I guarantee that when compared with buying a wood frame house or even a wood kit house I see many people in the USA converting into cabins from the likes of barns etc., I can deliver the same size houses in steel frame not only at a lower price, but it can also be built in half the time !
Not only that, but as Gammareign correctly states above, it'll be fire resistant, extreme storm resistant and termite resistant, as well as being earthquake proof, damp proof and mould proof, as well as being considerably better insulated against cold and heat! All delivered to USA building codes and regs.
We do this all the time all over the world, but the USA tends to prefer to stick to its flimsy wood houses which we see as quite dangerous in comparison.
Let me know if you want to try one my friend....... see us and contact us on www.bsi-steelframebuildings.com
All the best....
Bamboo. All I gotta say. 👍🏼
But then the big bad wolf came along and blew them all down.
I started to understand how you were measuring around 24:10 from this camera view. a once over would help me what you're looking at and a straight on view. This is my first video I've watched of yours. As a once professional editor and cameraman I quickly subscribed, knowing how much time it takes to set up all these shots to tell a story.
