Any tricks to getting them to enjoy riding ? Old man lost his lab last year. Moms got him a new one puppy around November. Seems scared of gator or cars???

 

I think just be repetitious, introducing them as much as possible to the vehicles , and once they realize it’s not that bad , they will get use to it and enjoy it.

 

My pup literally wants to get rides in cars, she tries to get into the mailman's vehicle when we get a package delivery.

She is also not scared of chainsaws, I have to be alert when bucking as she tends to stand right behind me in the chip flow or she climbs around on top of the logs.

She dislikes the vacuum cleaner, and she is terrified by pyrotechnics/fireworks/gunshots.

I think our pup learned to love cars due to the fact that she gets car rides to the towns park to meet up with her biological family, her mom, two brothers and her original owner - she learned that car rides are rewarding.
Try teaching Your pup that a ride along yields rewards?!

 

You just have to get them familiar with the vehicle, my pup is 11 months old & she was afraid of the Gator & tractors for a couple months. I just kept putting her in whenever I used them now she always wants to go. I would literally have to drag her out of the pickup when she was younger, she runs loops around the pickup every morning & wants in the semi whenever I walk towards it.

It seems to me that lab pups are very timid about new things. Mine didn’t even like the water & acted like she was afraid of the water. I had a beagle that spent more swimming & enjoyed it more than my current lab does.

 

Just take him with you everywhere

Flipping hard Euc. Gotta noodle bout half of it. It’s weird, if I hit just the right angle, maybe 20-30 degrees, the saw just sinks through. Super hard to cut every other way. I wonder if that is the secret to milling it. It’s gorgeous wood, I’ll have to try it. Been trying different saws and filters to see what does and doesn’t let fines thru. 2 series huskies epic fail. So far the winner is flocked 2159. Got all three of them set up with 20” old semichisel I got from @Woodslasher on 8 pins cuz the chains are a little long and they rip. Found a niche for those weird tweener 60cc saws.

 

Ur chains have their work cut out for them , cutting that stuff I bet .

 

What kinda stove are you burning that in?

 

It’s been a fun challenge. The window of what works is narrow, rewarding when you find it.

@Wolverine I don’t have one. Plan is to sell to to campers and people in mountains.

 

Couple people local have fireplaces but have to open the windows to use them haha, too warm.

 

Was curious too on how it burns. Any idea?

 

Fantastic. Little crackly. I do burn outside sometimes.
