Hey Will you should do a video interviewing Jesse. He seems like a cool guy would like to hear his story and how he feels living off grid as well

[@chrisp883]

I have 1000 things to do. But here I am sitting on my deck watching Will surviving.

[@X100People]

Bro he makes me feel like I'm slacking in life

[@danielkonczal2547]

Me too !!! 😂

[@Thumpertom]

I'm soon to be 54yrs old. I only wish I had ur energy and most of all ur positive attitude... U keep rocking brother ur an inspiration

[@PRO4XKEV]

SAFETY GLASSES and Hearing protection Bud. You got two of both, to young to lose any. I wore safety glasses and hearing protection for 35 years working for Boeing in manufacturing. Saved me..

[@-glossy3652]

😢 just glasses lil saw

[@-noble1768]

You're probably right but you're wasting you're time. Will is like most of us an probably just squints for eye protection.

[@dominationn]

He has gotten stuff in his eye multiple times too, wear glasses dude...I'm off grid, wear them for sight, wouldn't have an eye without them on many occasions and I'm extra careful and smart when I cut and chop and build.

[@dominationn]

Also, a chainsaw is the mostly deadly handheld tool on the planet, you can chop off a limb any moment and we can all tell Will has not had any saw training. Wear chainsaw bibs, for $100 they last a lifetime and then you can't die from using a chainsaw. Pretty huge no brainer I mean come on.

[@davidnelson2288]

@@dominationnI got a tiny piece of metal in my eye working and never forgot safety glasses again. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital but I got lucky and washed it out myself.

[@killaharding1355]

Great Pyrenees are extremely smart they learn and adapt very easily. That's why I love that breed so much. These guard dogs enjoy living indoors and outdoors. Wonderful with children as well. Just beautiful dogs❤❤❤❤❤

Will you be getting beefy! Those muscles you are building with all your hard work is apparent. Well done! I’m on my own fitness journey and hope to keep building muscle. Your homestead is kicking a$$!

[@tonylyons5487]

I do want to give you mad props for cutting that wood up with now mill or jig not just anyone can cut boards like that

[@zachrobb6977]

Impressed with the new video style and time lapse! I like how you put your music in there, you should keep them going!

[@nolan_schnoo]

i’ve been loving the content lately will!! I can’t wait to see the progress! And also, you and the dogs have been looking so happy and healthy!!

[@Stacynono]

Will, hard at work, doing what will does. Building with trees.

[@flossygalloway5967]

Love fast forward hate spiders love snakes 🐍 good eating snake s. Shoulda kept him.

[@giltoy6289]

He hasn’t built anything yet. Love Wills story, but this isn’t a smart move. He needs to get away from creepy Nate and quit doing building on other ppls property. It’s not gonna end well

[@JosephIngram-k2h]

I still think back to the time I saw him cutting plywood with a chainsaw and Lmao

[@djrtime1398]

Love seeing Jesse’s excellent cinematography

[@DamonDundee]

He's getting better! I definitely noticed with this video.

[@djrtime1398]

@@DamonDundee also, if Jesse’s got the camera, that means Will is working and building!!!

[@tripp-hq]

Your channel is booming mayne. You may not know what to say in voice overs but at least you TRY! Your creativity is what made me sub!

[@natewright1422]

I enjoy watching the log milling with no mill. Just the saw. Skills.

[@GlmToto]

I think your priorities are spot on. You have really good common sense. I hope your efforts will be successful.

[@Wendyholzinger2224]

Your my favorite source of entertainment. O do appreciate the effort you put in Will. Some days i lnowbyoure not teally feeling it but you just do it. Don’t forget to gove yourself a break. We Willy wonkas love you no matter what. Youre allowed to be human yeah.

[@s2piro]

You and Jesse seem really in sync..working great together as a team! Can imagine this experience so far has been fun to have a friend along the way.

[@zoeycarter154]

Jesse Ross the sauce boss!!

[@beccaenglish1967]

The 2 months Sept-early Nov last fall when Will left Eugene for Luckys in NM was longest they were apart since 6th grade when they became best friends.

[@aanthonww]

Think nate will be a real good "teacher" or mentor since he has been doing this for several years on the same property and can give you some good tips for water system and stuff. Love this "collab" between you too, hope we will see more vids together. Mutch love!

[@jdpaxton9293]

Crazy I’ve been watching you and Nate’s channels both for a while now and while he’s been close it’s crazy to think that now you are as well!! Best of luck to you brotha!!

[@davidsanseverino9612]

Timber!! The cutting of the woods like perfect keep up the good content, always enjoy watching videos

[@BigDreams_23]

Another great video and just a tip for ya save your saw dust for your bathroom hole it helps neutralize everything and we know you have plenty of sawdust 🤣

[@jogonzalez3811]

You do such amazing things. I hope to one day find the peace you have in the woods.

[@archib3692]

To avoid mangling the tops of your fence posts, use an empty tin can and put it over the post top, and it will be less spongy when you're done getting it into the ground.

[@GlmToto]

I thought the same, but he’s cutting the tops off anyway

[@JosephIngram-k2h]

And if you got it, use locust wood

[@Chop_top_cherokee]

This is a good one 👍 I was thinking another piece of wood

[@DamienDorsey1017]

That’s a good hack. Imma use that

[@JB-ef7ks]

That'll work for all of about 10 hits tops!!

[@Kipper32020]

WILL & JESSE are AWESOME!!

Loved the comical look that Will gave after cutting some logs, where he went crossed eyed!!!! And then when he walked up the mountain to Nate's , I was thought Az was a horse 🐎 a big horse 🐴!!!! Thought will was at a neighbors place, lol!!!😂

[@doubled875]

When splitting a log the long way, use wedges to widen the cut to eliminate bar bind. Sweet video. Thanks man.

[@raze7768]

By far my favorite part of the day is watching a will vid

[@EXTgamingdragon911X]

I am so so ready to see what you’re new log cabin will look like

[@RetroDadOf9]

You do you Will! Everything you've done looks absolutely amazing in the end! I watched @luckythrives last video on the property and everything looked like a place anyone would love to stay at but the place just didn't look the same without you there Will! Just keep doing you brother, it's got you to this point in your life and you're only going up from here! Love the content, can't wait to see where you're at in 5 years! 🔥💚

[@gabrielcruz390]

Good job bro!!! Your killing it love seeing your videos !! You should try when you are cutting them logs and you get the logs down to a 2x6 u should try to use your circular saw down the middle getting them to the 2x4 it’ll help with a straighter edge and it can give your chain saw a lil break lol And then the sides your cutting off to get the flat part u should make 2x2s out of them they will work for you in the build as well !! WAAABAMMM! 😂😎😎 Love from ARIZONA G

[@905-R6-GOON]

If you're building a cabin on stilts depending on the size and what you want to do, you can always get a whole bunch of Skids use Pressure treated ones for the bottom and regular ones for the top and then ply board all across to make a floor. Probably only need a stack of 3 high Put tarp and sandbags on the bottom all around, so the water don't damage it.

[@misterwhite9262]

Dude , your voice overs rules you will master the timing and technique as you do more... stick with it. I’m sure everyone loves it.. I sure do!

[@idiotsparadise773]

I think you can use the sawdust in your shitter I know the pine sawdust helps with the smell a lot.

[@ritomase81]

The commentary during the time lapse is golden.

[@zoeycarter154]

You’ll get better at the voice overs!!! But you’re doing amazing!!! Talk about the weather or the dogs or Jesse or just life in general

Hopefully you have identified your high water line. Always best to go with historical high than average. Where ever the water line is you should build at least 3-4 feet higher than that.

[@justjimmyy820]

I love the time lapses, maybe but like a fire sound or wind and birds?

[@markdavid4773]

Another great video youngsters 👍💪🏼

[@Birkedaloutdoorsman]

you should get yourself a chain file and use it a couple times whenever you fill the tank. it will make your board cutting way faster and smoother. youll notice a dull chain if it starts making more of a dust rather than spitting out chips

[@voodoochile4147]

The conversation with the snake 😂 “Ima have to dispatch you man!” Great work.

[@blaketaylor9626]

BROOO.. keep doing the Timelapse’s and talking through it. ITS PERFECT

[@uhhhh..380]

Perfect timing let's goo! From Indiana

[@roygould9454]

Hey Will, I like your work ethic. I was wondering if you have thought of getting a used 20 foot shipping container? They are usually around $1000 to $2000 for watertight ones. They are very secure and can be used to protect your most expensive stuff. We had one at my job that we made into a workshop. Some people even make tiny homes out of them. Then you can use it to ship stuff to Alaska when you head up there, or just sell it.

[@uhhhh..380]

That clip you did a badass cut crosseyed and Jesse falls😂

[@bettielerma5678]

I love the way you talk. You’re so funny.

[@AshleyTippie-zb5ec]

Let's go good job brother

[@jeremyTallen1]

Beastmode on those logs!!!!

[@FREE_TYPE_BEATS]

You should build a trench like a drain on the hill side around the part where you where digging so when it rains water will travel downhill on the trench

[@PanthorPapa84]

You can put beats over a time-lapse if you explain what you're doing before it starts. It's interesting to watch the process. You and nate could talk about royalty free music services, split the cost, use the music for videos. Nate has been posting more long form content, plus he could share some live clips with music over them if he felt like it.

[@ryanfry1390]

Being organized is such a needed skill most don't posses. Knowing what you have, where it's at, and how to access it when you need it saves SO much time. Those who find comfort in doing that regularly are far better off in the long run. Cheers on that project!
