Harvesting firewood-Tough but Satisfying Hard Work

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Once logs are safely on the ground, they need to be moved to an open area for further processing. The presenter demonstrates 'skidding' by attaching a logging chain to a felled log and using the Jeep Wrangler to drag it out of the dense woods. The chain is carefully routed to guide the log along a clear path, preventing it from getting caught on other trees or debris.

Goal: Efficiently move felled logs from the forest to a staging area.

Tools and materials

  • Jeep Wrangler Jeep — Pulling logs out of the woods
  • Logging Chain — Attaching to logs for dragging
  • Work Gloves — Handling the chain
  • Felled Logs N/A — Raw material for firewood
