 trees. Right now I have a chainsaw, face shield, it's a mirror thing, all the stuff I need to use a chainsaw. When there's this many unknowns, you know, if I try to make a plan, as soon as I start doing stuff, I'm gonna end up throwing out the plant. So I'm just gonna go get a bit of a time, see if I can actually identify a tree like different than where I grew up. So rummage around, see what I can find laying on the ground. Or I know there was one old dead standing tree like the top come off, I don't know, maybe I can get my lighting to come off. Maybe I'll cut that down and cut it up. I don't know, I'm just gonna see what happens. And then tomorrow or the next day, I should have a better idea of what do I need, you know, what I need. Maybe I don't need anything. Maybe just cutting freehand, my back's gonna get super tired. Probably happen. And then I'll want to make an Alaskan lumber mill, so I can, you know, let the saw rest on the wood. But yeah, I'm just gonna go screw around, see what happens. I was walking down my little jungle path here. Oh, there's another chainsaw. There's two chainsaw guys on the next property cutting right now, too. It's funny. Anyway, I was walking down my little path here and there was a tree. Let's get a little closer. I guess this big tree fell down between the last time I was here and today, so that was kind of convenient. And that's my first board. It's not bad. Definitely use some improvement, but it's straight. And life significantly improved when I cut the first flat side off, because then I had somewhere to put all my stuff and I hang my bag on a stick. It's just stuck on a ground. All right, I guess I'm just gonna cut another slice off there, get a bit more practice. I have no idea what this tree is. It's made out of wood, that's all I know. Oh, and I did use two nails and strung a string across for the first line. But after that, I just been eyeballing it and it's coming out pretty straight. There's a little bit of curve at the end, but I'm not gonna worry about. And this is to warn any bugs or animals or anything that go away. Nice thing about a jungle, a rainforest jungle, you only have to worry about a wildfire starting. I mean, I keep an eye on it anyway, but I mean, everything's wet. It's burnt or something. There's a hole through it. This log's moved over a bit, so that hole's like, you know, just back a little bit. I might be able to get, no, I don't think I can get another board. So maybe I can cut some boards out above that hole. And this tree did fall down because of termites. That's what all this stuff is. I guess they got right up through the middle. I figure I can cut this off, get a few cuts before I hit that hole, maybe do a few over here. I could flip the whole thing over and get some big boards over there. All right, by the way, the flat edge right here will be good. Oh, we're looking pretty good. And the last one, I got some of the hole in it. Yeah, part of it's good though. All right, between those boards and stuff I've got over here, I've got at least 150 board feet of wood cut. I need to trim the bark off and stuff, but I had to figure out how wide I want them first. I did not use a gallon of gasoline, and a gallon was like, I don't know, under $4. Anyway, this I used somewhere between $5 and $10 of gasoline, oil, you know, consumables. So that means three to six cents per board foot, I think. That's pretty good. My math might not be right because I'm just like still vibrating from the chainsaw, but yeah, I think it's about right. Three to six cents per board foot. Oh, wood costs way more than that. All right, obviously that doesn't count the cost of the chainsaw itself, but that's a fixed cost because you may take care of it. That's also counting wasting some cuts, trying to get around some termite hole stuff. So, I mean, less, I don't know, that's pretty good. I mean, if I buy wood, the cheapest wood I can get is like 40 cents a board foot. So, if I can cut it for like three cents, I mean, that's even the high estimate, six cents a board foot, significant savings. So, I don't even need to cut that much for this guy to pay for itself. Wow, I got a lot more tree here. I'm gonna have to figure out what this wood is. Oh, I should go up to the top way up there and find some leaves, take them home and see if I can find them on the internet or something. Let's see what the bark looks like. Where's the bark? It looks kind of like a maple. Obviously, it's not a maple, but it's my closest reference. Oh, and all the leaves are dead up here. Ah, that whole pile of dead leaves is from this tree. So, I guess it was dead before it even fell over. Ah, I don't know if I'm going to be able to find a leaf in good enough condition to compare it to anything. Oh, jeez, I don't know what it is. It's wood and it's strong. That's a 10-foot span and that handle is weight, no problem. I am concerned about termites in the bark. So, yeah, there's a bunch in there. But maybe I'll just trim all these down to, I don't know, two by sixes and two by 12s. Oh, there we go. Now I have a bunch of two by sticks. I don't know what measurement this stick is, but I didn't see any reason to go get my tape measure. The stick's as good as any other measurement. Man, that chainsaw did great. Oh, I like it. The only thing I didn't like was my ear things on my head all day. I mean, at first it's fine, but like after an hour and a half, it's just like pressing on my head and I'm just like, get off. Oh, man, my head still kind of hurts. I have to get the little ones that stick in my ears.
