The Trials of Building a Trail From Scratch + using a chainsaw for the first time | Alaska Week 2

[@memitaylor4323]

You ladies are living the life I would have had if I could. Your idea to take this land, build your home, and a relaxing place for others to enjoy as well, is beautiful 💗 I hope some day, I can be one of those people to come there and enjoy the peace & beautiful of Alaska😊🙏🏾❤️

[@oravasong6111]

You need to leave your grandma tree on your land. That is the biggest tree that protects your other trees.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

That’s the plan!

[@andrewjohnson219]

You should get a “come along” and yellow straps. You can wrap the straps and wire from the come along around trees in all different arrangements. Then crank the come along to move whatever it’s attached to. It’s like having your own power lifter....I’m sure they sell them at the hardware store there.

[@mycrazylifewfawnlisette3582]

That would definitely help with heavy moving

[@keykenni14]

This is one of the most interesting and inspiring channel on YT. You two are so cool.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Well hey! Thanks!

[@kburkes4245]

I admire your grit and perseverance to try new things! "A woman's the man for the job", except it's also wise to know when to ask for help 😉 Stay safe!

[@legitwitch3905]

Um, your song and dance bit right at the end was, like, everything to me 💜✨💜 I’m delighted I came across your channel just in time to cheer you along on this journey of creating a magical forest utopia. The pups are gonna love it! 😍😍😍 ps- every time your mom said something like “oh this spot would make a cool place to chill and journal” I’m like oh my goddess, I found my people! ☺️

[@estherstephens1858]

When you’re so excited and working with adrenaline just be careful. You may feel the muscular aches and pain later. The electric saw was a game changer, even though it might be a little heavy. Enjoy your week.

[@shirlymullis1699]

That would be a battery saw.

[@dianewilliams6391]

Hi beautiful ladies .... Remember to put all your food in containers in your shed to keep the field mice out your food.

[@MargeauxandMeShops]

Ladies I suggest hard hats just in case a branch from above would fall while moving and rustling things around🙂

[@A.D.DAYDREAM]

This team has inspired me to start perusing my dream of off grid living again after losing everything... thank you so much for reigniting the passion and determination I once had for pursuing that dream. ❤️

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

This is wonderful!!! You got this and I hope you get everything you want ✨💓

[@thelisaofmonalisa4829]

Fantastic! It's so fun to see William and Lady poking their heads out of the jeep when you're taking drone footage. What a great bookstore! Keep rocking it Loui and Bex! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@ReneaDooserider]

Just trying to be helpful but to learn how to sharpen the chain off the chainsaw would be also great for you both. Thank you for sharing your adventures so proud of you girls. 💕💕 please lift with your legs , keep your back straight mom and don’t work tired with that chainsaw. 💕💕

[@zulublack1212]

You can pick out some nice tree stumps or whatever you cut with a base as coffee tables or nightstands, and everytime you look at them you'll know it came from your land, research ways to use your land as much as possible to build your camp/home👍

[@Bronxxxnyc]

I cleared a full acre like that once; it was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life! A bit of advice, invest in a reliable chain saw. As long as you intend to do work on your property, that chain saw will be your first go-to tool.

[@wmluna381]

Wranglestar has a number of videos and info on chainsawing being a former logger. A Ryobi rechargeable is more of a basic suburban homeowner unit. It's going to be slow going affair with that thing.

[@zeesoutdoors65]

You two are an example of what it means to be strong women in todays world absolutely amazing.

[@mrwarlord1]

Love what you and your mom are accomplishing, but I think you Need some more PPE….gloves, googles, (proper earplugs), helmet, steel toe shoes…..safety is paramount and would just feel horrible if something happen to you and your mom while trying to get things going

[@deelilgarden8492]

Oh how I love the positive words from you and your mom as you both chop and cut away those trees. I pray you two get some help to level the ground and take down those Big trees. Stay strong and motivated ladies, your making progress for sure.

[@11herbsandspices]

You two with that chainsaw....EPIC! Couldn't decide if it was more adorable or more badass. Anyway, I now feel I need to clear some land. Ha! Thanks for the adventure! Can't wait for the next! Hugs to the pups. :^) OH! Tip for the flies...put a little peppermint oil on lights scarves around your neck and on the pup's bandanas. It helps. I do it when hiking with my pups. I'm sure you could mix a little in lotion too...flies hate peppermint!

[@SherriceSledgeThomas]

Meg the Stallion had a hot girl summer. You’re having a lumber girl summer. Love it!!!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

😝😂😂😂 love this! Lumber girl summer!

[@meditateinthegarden1439]

You ladies are amazing. I love watching your videos its better than t.v. and all the bs that is there. REAL reality. Ok, now I will wait for your mother to post her footage life is about stepping out there and making it happen. Have fun creating your own space it is a beautiful feeling. AND thank you for sharing. Be safe, be careful, and trust your process.

[@purpurls]

as someone living city center in london, these videos are such a fantastic escape from the constant noise.

[@glennademotte9871]

This is so much fun and relaxing to watch. It’s such a bonus you are shaded by all the trees while you work. Very Inspiring, keep up the excellent work!!

[@pennyh3101]

Love love that huge tree stump. Maybe can be a small look point.. climb up and sit there.. the other pieces you are cutting could be seats along your trail.. so happy you have this to call home. Enjoy the transformation of the land and yourselves. God bless

[@blahblah2blahblah260]

Awesome views as usual makes me want to run away to the woods. I use a short cut box saw when cutting little stuff. Some say shark tooth saw but it cuts so much faster than the regular handsaw . you two are doing the most natural work there is and creating the look of your land that you want. You appreciate it more when you do it yourself. I love it.💪💛

[@maxineoliver7404]

I love how you guys can be your silliest throughout everything-That's awesome!!! Every little bit of cutting and sawing is tremendous progress! Great job guys!!🥰🌲🌲🍄🌄🌅⛵

[@MiaLanette]

Great job ladies!! Alaska is beautiful. The fish and chips looked delicious.Alaska is definitely a place I plan to visit. Looking forward to watching the journey. Stay safe and God bless.

[@talktomelikeim5or65]

I don't even know you girls but I'm so proud of you! I actually laughed out loud when Bex said "That was so fast," and then the WAH WAH WAH! OMG!

[@knowledgeseeker2776]

I do the happy dance when I see a new video from you and your mom!!

[@amechealle5918]

If you can’t do a pulley system get some good leather working gloves and rope. Rap the rope twice. It’s amazing what we can do with rope and finding something to make a pulley system.

[@trianglebean3884]

A couple tips about chainsaws: (I’m sure u’ve done hella research cause it’s scary but might as well let ya know) first, be suuuuper aware of not touching the saw to dirt even for a second cause that will dull the teeth ASAP and it’s SO ANNOYING. Also, a lot of people move it back and forth like a saw when cutting but that will get it stuck and will also put more work on the teeth, you wanna teeter the ends up and down instead and keep it in the same place when it comes to left and right (hopefully that makes sense) and then also u don’t want to start the chainsaw back up from stopped when in the middle of the log , that will get ur saw stuck in there. Im sure ull get the hang of it but ya those are a couple things that will help you not get the saw stuck in the log which is always nerve wracking

[@CLFL14256]

takes some brawn what you are doing. I barely manage my 1/2 acre garden with the lopper and the odd tree branches with a chainsaw! Wondering if you ever get to the cabin build, all that transporting. Some people go with a yurt. The real fun was finding out where you are located, love being a sleuth. Found it!!! I have a friend "up the marine highway" in Skagway. Greetings from Ireland

[@vagabonddeesadventures8491]

Awesome. Loving every minute of your journey. Maybe you should set up a volunteer trip to Alaska next year and invite a few nomads. They can help you work on the property and they can learn and explore as well.

[@jshaunanderson3957]

William is just always laid back enjoying the ride lol

[@CBlack-zm5ze]

Ok. This might seem alarmist but if you don't have phone service out there you should invest in a Garmin InReach or a Zoleo and get an account so you can contact Emergency Services if you need to. If you have cell service make sure you have the geo coordinates for your property so they can find you quickly. Enjoy your adventure but be safe.

[@narissabond6383]

Wow! I’m so impressed by you two!

[@barbarataylor6265]

New Sub. Canadian grandma. You would love a bow saw. Often So much easier than the saw I see you're using. Loving this adventure with you.

[@bishop7534]

Wow, the video shows some beautiful scenes but as you stated, its naturally that way anyway. Its good to see you both starting to clear paths (your mom looked hot using the chainsaw 😉), stay on point being one wrong move could cause harm. Oh, I thought of a small stoop with the stump you cut off, how cool would that be!!! Hey, did you go see the neighbor yet, maybe he/she could provide some feedback as well as a tool or two to help make the property even more homey... Well as always, stay safe and keep the adventure going!!!!!!

[@nylapsalms4678]

It’s great to see everything come to light I can vision the path as you clear the logs and bushes out you guys are inspiring and hard working women God bless your vision and dreams

[@farnorthhome]

We are on year 3 of development on our raw land, takes a ton of work! 💪🏻💪🏻 y’all got this

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Oh wow! I bet y’all have a lot done too!

[@MarielikestoCrochet]

When you watch KZbin you don’t really think about the lapse in time. But I can tell the laughs by the length of your hair 😂. especially since I still watching videos out of sync. Y’all are doing great! Be safe please 🙏🏽

[@bonitahill5239]

Thank you!! So lovely!! but ☺️ now I know to get one of those Safari hat with mosquito netting when I go there ☺️🐶

[@lovelygem16]

Hey Loui I love watching you and your mom, I don't comment much on these vlogs but I just love watching yall in the woods. It is some how calming to me, but one thing I want to say is you guys should make sure your hair and legs are covered to avoid all the tick ticks (lime disease) I don't know what part of the country they're in but just a thought. Lol love yall!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

We love y’a too!

[@persephony_nyx8158]

Arrrrgh, I‘m so excited to see the progress on your property, I wish I could just binge watch it right now...I’m not good with patience 😩 but it’ll be worth the wait, it’s soo cool to see what you‘re going to do with it ♥️🍀 best of luck

[@googlek1]

Almost forgot to comment... save some of the tree stumps for outdoor seats, side tables, etc... measure and make a couple of good cuts... it can save you money...

[@darlenekeene755]

Steps from tree stumps are awesome.

[@Clarinda1963]

So pretty. That’s a lot of hard work. 💪🏻💪🏻. Lumber ladies.. doggies so cute with raincoats on. . ❤️

[@joebass517]

New scriber here, congratulations on you & mom's new quest!! Looking forward to the new future, bless you both, be safe and well, always be aware of your surrounding's, all the best.

[@hamburger-fries]

I am so happy I found your channel! Incredibly beautiful, Mom and Daughter and 2 cool doggies! My wife and 2 kids are doing a similar adventure in Japan.

[@hannaehbelser8040]

What a wonderful video. Your town looks so quaint. Congrats to you and your mom!

[@carolynbouielee4857]

I am rooting for your journey… sending love from Florida

[@amauryscrazyrealityshow827]

Hi again . I would like to see more of the town . The church , the market , the post office , city hall etc. You now all the mundane places . How far is the town from your property ? Again love your videos , I'm following your dreams from Puerto Rico .

[@DonalRomano]

Doing excellent work!

[@looyosummers5796]

I love that combo, we do beans and rice with tomato and jalapeno.😊

[@ritasmoot1823]

Girl....your mom is BAD ASS! I enjoy your videos. Take care!

[@kburkes4245]

Also remember how important it is to meet your neighbors. I've heard that alaskans are very good at helping one another, and you might find someone with well-developed skills who's willing to help you, or at least advise. Hard hats are a must!

[@SimonaRich]

Very good advice. Village people tend to help each other.

[@shakorasharp179]

Enjoy you guys relationship and energy and the fish dinner looks good

[@joycehagins9900]

U probably can get a come along to move those logs.

[@malikdigger4544]

You ladies are doing a amazing making ur own pathway by chopping a few tress also a hard helmets would been handy out there in woods don't want nothing hitting ur heads.

[@727skirk]

No worries about permit... just put temporary steps in until your ready for the real deal

[@lifesprodject5265]

Welcome to the real!! Soooo happy in happiness. Good times. Love abounds in the natural. U 2 are in such a beautiful place !

[@Sunsetschano]

Nice land. Yaw should go prospect for gold in those streams.It would be a new adventure. :)

[@michaelcarron3418]

Come-a-long and rope, chain saw, shovel, pick-ax, peeve for rolling logs around.

[@onelove9408]

pulleys and a comealong for the heavy stuff with a winch, then its no sweat

[@isabella.ferreira]

You guys are awesome!! Keep up the good work☺️

[@mzlo2057]

Do you think your homes will be log homes.How about small cabins and campsites ,RV sites too.

[@romonasafree3151]

You two are a powerful team! Clearing the land definitely looks like a fun, but tiresome challenge...but you got this! Amazing footage!

[@TALAfan11]

Get it Ladies!!! #Progress

[@LilithVsEve369]

Your filming and editing is improving! Excited for your journey

[@terristenacious2279]

It will get your lumber up with a driveway!

[@rrhopewell]

This is so awesome. You two are amazing

[@terristenacious2279]

Your land is so beautiful! What an adventure!

[@MysticTarotwithTiffany]

Y’all are so inspiring!!

[@judymills7157]

Was that a "MILLS" shirt you were wearing near end? I'm a Mills, live in Connecticut. Enjoying your journey.

[@joycehagins9900]

U might need to start stacking the smaller logs for this winter

[@dalvinadiaz8718]

Great video, girls! Love it! See you next time!

[@Power_Verse_]

OMG would y'all ever make live edge furniture?

[@bequetta]

Wow that chainsaw is a beast👍🏿

[@gracecallowayable]

[@maranutt775]

[@danid8448]

[@RalphSanabria]

I like your land that you purchase very nice very cool place

[@jeanb.7963]

Are there poisonous snakes there? The fish and chips looked delicious..What model drone do you have? Loving these video’s!!

[@isabelcreado7016]

I wish you will get some followers on Alaska and offer to help you and your mom to get your job than faster good job I like that you decide to be there and work so hard and one day it will be just pretty much like we did it mom !

[@theopinion9452]

With today's lumber prices,they have a tub load of $$$$ there in the land.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

To me the trees are priceless and worth more than $

[@SimonaRich]

I liked your dance at the end, lol

[@lifesprodject5265]

How many feet is the front of the property near the road?

[@lamontallen9435]

Singing, "Black people in the woods"💃🏾💃🏾 🤣😂

[@darlenebracy7065]

You Ladies are AWESOME 😎.

[@old-timerfull-timer245]

The world belongs to the brave!

[@Kathieartcraftanddestash]

lol mom must have been starving she was throwing down. while you're cutting all that wood down how about making a cover for firewood and start stacking the wood in it to dry. you should be able to make it with everything right there except nails. You could also split some of the thinner trees down the center and use them to make the bridge over the larger downed trees. Find about 10 people who want to camp in tents on your property in exchange for helping with the work for x amount of time each person and then extend based on how much they actually help you. Can't wait to see all you do. I love it and that town looks like a dream.

[@SimonaRich]

Excellent advice.

[@sanchezhr211]

You mean lumber Loui!!

[@a.d.h.dn3d461]

Any thoughts of using a shipping container for house on your land? Awesome having creek on your property, you could use water flow to generate free electricity.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

There's really no way to get a shipping container up there unfortunately. I have always thought about it being an option though!

[@a.d.h.dn3d461]

@@AdventureTimeLoui 🤔💡helicopter that container in there. 👍😁

[@michaelcarron3418]

What kind of restrictions are there?

[@BluuJourney]

I eat the same thing...black wild rice, beans, etc. Y'all are working it out! Luv it #Artisbluu

[@marciatimboy5138]
