Making Money Cleaning Up Storm Damage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I explain how when you own forest land you can sometimes make money from natural disasters. As opposed to a lot of assets where you lose money when things are damaged. A couple weeks ago we had a big snowstorm that knocked down a bunch of trees. I clean up some of the mess with my Massey Ferguson MF 30 MF 34 tractor with farm winch. In the process I make logs that I will put on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill and cut them in the lumber that I can sell. I also cut a little firewood that I can either use or sell. The chainsaw I am using is a Stihl MS 462 with 32 inch bar.

PLEASE do a video tour of your awesome winch and blade system.
I would love to see you remove and remount it, show all it's features, tell about service and maintenance, and tips on how to get the most out of using it.
Your channel is amazingly informative and entertaining.
Thanks, Wilson!
Pine, pine, glorious pine
lending its scent to terpentine.
A lesson I've learned is, when a old timer tells you, "It wouldn't be my first time in of such and such.." pay heed.
I find myself legitimately saying, "it wouldn't be my first time" it's usually about something that could have killed me.
Listen, young bucks. Antlers keep on growing.
Ain’t nothing like trying to keep up with roads. Keeping up with some roads is a full time job. But again it’s how you treat them. At least you got a couple nice logs there.
Good job there Sir.
Pine is fine if it's dry. Nothing smells better than a white pine campfire. Boots? We blow thru boots in about 5-6 months. We tried all brands. Laugh if you want but Walmart Herman survivers grizzly are $64 and comfortable. Seems to last as long as the other's. Good video
Cool video Wilson 🪵🚜
Good vid, Wilson....👍
As far as bribing nature goes, I think Diana is the one to contact on matters relating to forests. She's supposed to be partial to deer, but I think you could sacrifice a bull or a heifer in a pinch.
I worked most of yesterday taking out and cleaning up blow down pines . On the edge of a logging cut property line . No videos lol just hard work . As I go I hope to film more I got a lot to learn .
Hey, thanks for the stream last night - learned a good bit (formerly Cauldron Crest, newly re-invented as Raven's Ridge, lol)
Good video Michael. I've been waiting for nature to take down a hanging tree...no luck so far but nature has taken down trees around it that I didn't want to come down 🤔
Like your videos, I learn and smile you make sense of what you say and do
Love the humor and the work.
Nicely done. These are cool videos, with cool scenery
I'm the same way about boots. I use them like you do. Don't you just love limbs that plays hide and seek.
What a great tractor!
Enjoy that you are very relatable
What’s the typical length you cut the logs at?
I enjoy your Chanel I guess part of that is because you are out on the west coast. I am east coast . Nc . I have just started my little Chanel for fun mostly . I hope one day I can have a few viewers .
Yeah back when we burned wood for heat any time a storm blew stuff down I called those volunteer firewood candidates. Everyone I know here in western Washington burns whatever comes a long for burning especially the free stuff. That said do they have some preferred trees of course. But you can't always get your preferred and believe me if your choice is be cold or say burn pine you burn pine.
That tractor have a Perkins Diesel in it. Sounds like mine. Great engine.
Nice plot of land you have
If you figure out how to communicate with nature, please do a video on that! 😆
You can tell nature what tree you want knocked down by attaching branches full of live needles to the top of it, so it catches a bigger load of snow.
Those old dead trees just dont hold as much.
"Never burn Pine" what's with the never? If I go up there daily and sweep I can burn fatwood if I want. It's a matter of maintenance. I like to sweep seldom so I would be much happier putting Pine through my stove with afterburner than the one without.
Hi! I really enjoy your witty videos. I own a small tree service business in Texas and was wondering what camera equipment you prefer to use for your videos and why? I saw several links to microphones but no video equipment listed in the description. Thanks!
Geez, don't you ever pinch your saw?
Can you tell us about your cargo trailer that was successfully saved? Is this your apartment in a remote plot of land?
How do you think about which tools you leave out in the elements and which you cover, and what do you use to cover them? Rain, wind, rodents? (splitter? sawmill? tractor?)
Just curious, who plated the left side of the lift arms on your MF?
If a tree falls in the forest
Wilson hears it
Thanks Mike
Timberrrr 😂😂😂
Burning pine is fine!
Maybe make some kind of replaceable canvas cover for your expensive boots that can take the abuse. That way you can finally enjoy some broken in boots that don't need replacing! Of course it might not make sense if it takes up so much of your time, or is awkward, or just makes them too hot to wear.
It sounds like what you need is some kind of boot engineered for abrasion resistance.
In any case, thanks for correcting yourself with the technically correct statement that every tree in the world had not fallen on your trailer, it's an important distinction!
Well that just perked up my sunday, cheers!
That slash you howked down the hill, thats not going to be a fire hazard later on is it?
Thanks!
👍
Watching this makes me envious as I don't have a single pine of fur on my patch that is worth putting on my mill. I only have hard woods.
And just that quick a new Rabbit Condo was created!
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and God bless
Have a good morning Mike.
Lovely spring time.
