I have a similar voltage detector and found it invaluable when we moved into our other house years ago. Before that, things got a little… Spicey 😂😂

Great job on the log loading technique. Would your sled benefit from some sort of removable posts so that you can load one end, then slot in a post to stop it rolling off the edge while you work on the other end? I find that when I’m at the cabin, there’s a lot more troubleshooting when I don’t have the right tools with me as well :)

Mostly when you get older & you forget to bring the cant hook or another strap lol ! 200yards from the mill, It probably weighs 800lbs ones brain just says oh it shouldn't be to bad right :) Dad always said you'd rather break your back to save your legs lol :) Thanks for watching

How you doing Don? I was trying as hard as I could to help you from my comfy Lazy Boy this morning Mr. That log was testing your skills but it didnt stand a chance once you got going. You got the log loaded and you ended with a new teaser to your next video. Crafty. Hey good score on that battery and perfect fit for your channel. Good work on the promotion clip. Good job. Lets hope we get some more snow for your trail setting. That sleigh you used will be perfect to set your trail. Thanks Don

@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 when you cut limbs off leave one a couple feet long still attached. You can use that as a lever to roll the log over to get to the bottom ones easier. An old man's trick to the trade.

Hi Don. Good one 👍🏻 So, how low of voltage can the diesel heater run on ? Do you have to clean your solar panels of dust dirt and grime every now and then to produce the best power ? Did you get any of the snow storm in Saskatchewan and Alberta the last day or so, or are you to far north. Have a great day 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🪵🪓🔥
@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 Күн бұрын
I use wood most of the time so haven't went below 11v yet but heater uses very little power with that small fan, No I let mother nature clean the panels unless we have snow that sticks, Usually the panels get a little warm with the sun & I keep them pretty straight up the snow fall off, some times I just sweep if I get time :) Ya it was a different storm that hit Sask & Manitoba , Thanks for watching"
