Davidson’s All Natural Gym
Description of Davidson’s All Natural Gym:
“Where the Gym has No Walls; Real Work. Real Tools. Real Life.
At Davidson’s All Natural Gym, I show new sawyers and homesteaders how to turn logs into lumber and land into purpose – with limited budgets, diesel-soaked sawdust, and a whole lot of “Dang– it!” moments. If you’re looking for real-world sawmilling tips, dry sarcasm, and the truth about just how not easy this work really is – hit subscribe.
Join John Davidson on the Illinois farmstead where horsepower means diesel, not dumbbells. At Davidson’s All Natural Gym, you’ll learn how to get real work done with compact tractors, budget-friendly 3-point hitch attachments, and a portable Woodmizer LT35 Portable sawmill – all while keeping costs low and ingenuity high.
Or just want to see what “man glitter” (aka sawdust) is all about…
This channel is your go-to guide for farm-fueled fitness and DIY country living. No fluff. No big spending. Just a working man’s wisdom from the field, the forest, and the farm.”
