1st day Working at the sawmill

What happens here

The narrator explains the challenge of transporting the portable sawmill, the Wood-Mizer LT40, across the muddy and obstacle-filled terrain to reach the logs. He refers to the path as an "obstacle course" due to numerous chickens and mud puddles. The current setup makes it difficult to move the saw to the logs, prompting a discussion about alternatives.

Goal: Identify logistical issues in moving the sawmill to the log pile
