God called you to be there to Help the Woman stuck in the snow. You more than likely Saved Her and her horses Lives ! You are a HERO Brother. Great Job on the water tank shed.

[@MsDee_777]

You'll be blessed for helping those people out. The water shed looks great. My husband and I really enjoy watching you and your family build your new home. Thank you for your videos! ⛄❄☃

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you for watching!

[@jaxlind1382]

Your voice takes on such a (grandfather/storyteller) tone that we can’t help but love. Kids will be mad that I watched this weeks episode with out them. Keep it up brother, we all love what you’re doing.

Thank you!

I equate your voice/story telling to Bob Ross the painter, very calming.

[@Rebecca-zr2zx]

Boy it may be been extremely cold up there, but it is definately a piece of heaven with the view and all. I would just love to sit up there and look at all the sunsets & sunrises up there on the hill! Great job on the shed, one less thing to worry about!

[@noc8076]

Working in winter, gloves are very important. And always carry an extra dry pair! Single layer leather gloves rubbed in Sno-Seal that you heat and rub into the leather is great for working as they don't soak water. Having steep hills, deep snow and the need to plow and rescue others, an old forestry tractor with 28" front tires, and with good quality studded chains all around will make you unstoppable. Set up with a forestry winch, blade and a single stage pull behind blower is what is needed for winter. Pull behind blowers where the tractor drives through the snow first works great all over Scandinavia.

This channel is easily one of the most pure uplifting things I watch consistently on KZbin.

Done and it’s a great building, stop doubting yourself. It’s another big job completed

[@skp2158]

Ranger Heath - you got your brownie points that day! And you are a lesson in perseverance. I don't think I would be out working on anything in cold snowy weather.

[@jayeno9146]

My family and I enjoy your videos so much. I’m not sure how you do it, but watching them is addicting. Living free and independent is something we all strive for. Wishing you and your family all the best.

ahhhhh....the life of living in snow country......I lived all my life in the country where it could easily snow regularly 3 feet in an afternoon.....I toiled all my life....now I am in retired in Arizona......I left it all behind and started all over.....Im a in a GOOD place now......continue to persevere young man.....Bless all of you!

[@KinuGrove]

You remind me so much of my father. He just turned 82 this week. He could build or fix anything he set his mind to. I guess growing up on a farm with very little money helped him develop that attitude.

[@holygoldendoodles]

Every time I see a new Red Poppy Ranch video I scramble to see it. Best channel on you tube. Thanks for the effort!

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thanks for watching!

[@amarieshearer7613]

So glad you have your water protected!

[@thejunkcollectors9578]

Love watching Ruger in the excavator 😊. You must have a very special relationship with, a beautiful dog

[@robinr.770]

That is some kind of snow you got going there, Heath! Boy! The ride up the hill in the excavator must have been a bit dicey. Glad you were there to help others on their way. That water tank shed is thing of beauty in my eyes. Keep going, you are in business now with the water supply protected!!!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

You said the shed does not look pretty, maybe, but I think it looks like it should be there, fits into the landscape. If you had clad it with shinny new tin, it would look odd and out of place. Working in cold temps like that is hard work. Cheers from Tokyo!

[@johncourtneidge]

Excellent! Well done! Best wishes to you and all, John

[@justyourdad7134]

Do not have snow yet, it is minus 12 celcius feels like minus 16. Live up in Northern British Columbia Canada. Love watching all your family's videos. You are doing an awesome and amazing Heath.

[@601salsa]

If you have a property track going past the shed, You could add a solar panel and add a set of led timer / remote co trol lights (like street lights) to help navigate in winter.

[@jameszimmerman162]

Any shed the does what it was built to do looks good. Keep up the good work and keep sharing.

[@jkhenderson1]

Heath, it was ordained by God. So glad you were placed there to help those in need. Blessings to you and yours.

[@lockedin60]

You are a very smart and creative man. Creative people see things others can't see. So usually their is "no blueprint". I think that you are too hard on yourself but you take the responsibility of providing for your family is # 1 priority. Love your videos and thanks for your continued including us in your thinking journey.

[@ronhart4166]

That shed will be there 50 more years !!! Looks great 👍

[@harolddomangue9206]

I think you did an excellent job on the water tank building. I enjoy all that you have done to place your family in your new home. Keep up the good work you will enjoy it once it is completed.

[@nubbydigger6920]

I live in southern idaho and keep miles of pipe line for 1200 beef cattle running all winter. In my opinion "and maybe your doing this" the best thing you can do is have constant water movement. Like by opening a hydrant at bottom with a garden house on it to keep flow going . As long as your water source would hold up. Even just a crack. I have to take a couple floats off my water troughs to keep it moving. Good luck. You live in paradise!

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Agreed!

[@athenarocar]

I love the look of the shed. Yes, it looks a little rough, but it fits in with the hill side. In the spring, strengthen it, but keep it. If it is not broke, don't fix it. Focus on other things, like getting your family into this wonderful home.

[@maryq4546]

Another project off the board! Its getting there! Its such a beautiful view on top of that hill!

[@brandonlindstrom975]

When I was a kid living in Southeastern Idaho, there were plenty of times we were snowmobiling before Thanksgiving. I remember my cousin and I going snowmobiling on Halloween Day once. The last decade or so there has been a drought, but the area can definitely see snow earlier than other parts of the state. Looks good. Keep it up.

[@paulcalhoun6339]

Back in the late 70’s I was fortunate to be assigned to NPTU Idaho Falls...I loved IF so much when I left the Navy I returned to IF. We owned snowmobiles for winter fun and enjoyed camping during the summer. Your place looks a place we hunted near Lava Hot Springs. I so enjoy your vids.

[@DeerParkFarmstead]

That shed came out great! Leave it. I recently bought a K5 Blazer with a winch on the front bumper. Great for pulling myself and others out of ditches.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

I've had about a dozen of the old square body trucks over the years. My favorite by far.

[@DeerParkFarmstead]

My favorite too. I could’ve bought something newer but I dig square body chevys. A winch is a good idea where you’re at. Food for thought anyways. Snow hasn’t hit Eastern Washington yet. Perhaps Tuesday. Stay warm

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Getting this excavator was one of the best things that has happened for you. I use mine in more ways every year than I could have imagined. New attachments are coming out every year. I have a tilt rotor, mower fail, bucket for the blade, 8 different buckets, blade angle and tilt.

Heath, enjoy the story and music in every video. The country is beautiful also.

[@garykidd4468]

Great job in the less than ideal conditions. I thought the weather up there was gonna get nasty, but that is over the top for the snow. Reminds me of the late 1970's. It might help if you could make a jacket for the tank itself. Like the waterheater jackets they sell but with the roxul and and some heavy plastic and some banding or even a few cheap ratchet straps. The building will keep the wind and snow off the tank. But if the tank was wrapped then the warmth from the ground water couldn't escape to have to heat the rest of the air in the building. I know you're to tired to even consider this now. Just thought I would throw it out. Ya'll are in my prayers. Bad enough to have to do this job, but to be good enough to film it for us, thanks for sharing your life with us all.

[@williamhustonrn6160]

Since you have an ATV, pickup a plow attachment for the ATV, thats how i clear our driveway and such here in Colorado.. we have a 18 inch plow attachment we picked up at Northern Tools for $175 and i can clear our area about the same space you have in about 15-20 minutes.. its very nimble and easier to get around with the plow with the atv vs a truck. For added traction i put a milk crate attached to the back cargo area and put 2 x 50lb bags of sand i keep around in it for this time of the year.

[@jenniferbuck9676]

Talking about snow coming in early. We are originally from Oklahoma, moved to Minnesota 9 yrs ago. One of our sons got married the middle of October and while the Oklahoma family members were here for the wedding we got snow. I think some of them were alittle nervous about getting stuck here for the winter. It melted by the time they left but it was fun to have them experience it while they were here. Maybe you could put in a kind of zip line or pulley system to go up the hill in places for work or play with the kids.
