Chainsaw Carving 70 Pound Dice- Alone in the Wilderness ep14

I love building ridiculous things with a chainsaw! This big pine log has been in my way all summer and I finally realized what was inside it. It was such a nice, straight, knot-free log that I hated to chop it up into little pieces. Instead of milling it with the Granberg small log mill, I decided to do a little freehand chainsaw carving with the Stihl 261. Woodworking with a chainsaw is just about as fun as it gets for me, especially when it is a quick, one-day-or-less project and the result has absolutely no use. I've been living in the Michigan wilderness in a tent for many months and this was one of the most satisfying projects I've done since moving to the woods. Off-grid, homestead-style living doesn't mean all work and no play. This is ADULT PLAY and since nobody is looking, I am going to continue to do as I please! On a side note, homemade milling chains really aren't worth the time. For a few dollars more per loop, get a purpose made chain for milling. They stay sharp for MUCH longer while producing a nicer cut. Because I’ve gotten so many questions about the gear that I use on the channel, here are some of the most important pieces I use every day: My Favorite Piece of Gear- Chainsaw Helmet https://amzn.to/3uuW5xB Granberg Chainsaw Mill https://amzn.to/3cdRXvn How I Keep the Mosquitoes Away! https://amzn.to/3frenvh Big, Black Log-Peeling Knife - Becker BK9 https://amzn.to/3oZIeOH The Trailer I Use Behind My 4 Wheeler- Yutrax https://amzn.to/3fvO8DK Bug Net Rooms I Use https://amzn.to/3uwOK0l Heaters in My Tent and the Deer Castle https://amzn.to/3frQ7Jh Thank you all so much for supporting this crazy endeavor!
