Instead of over-dramatizing in your so-called out of control fire, show your loyal viewers how to safely prepare a slash pile burn before hand. Cut a hand line around the pile, set up the IBC tote and pump, and lay out the hose. Show us how be prepared ahead of the burn, not afterwards.

Always try and keep the fuels in the tanks topped off to reduce water condensation. This will help with rust mitigation and then he freezing during the winter. Adding a good diesel treatment won't hurt especially since you don't have glow plugs. Then you can stock up on the diesel fuels in case the road is blocked from heavy snows. Having a can or two of starter fluid won't hurt either. And I'll spare you the details about fire safety😊 You guys have come a long way pilgrims and I'm very happy for all three of you. But I sense another babies on the way😊😊😊😊

Just a quick tip in the Vermeer chipper. When you feed a branch in, walk to the side of the machine. They can corkscrew a branch and smack you really bad. Never stand behind it. Sometimes they throw big pieces straight out back at you. I used an 18 inch model for about 20 years and saw how nasty they can get. Awesome machine though. 😊

Best fire starter I’ve found is paper towels soaked in your used bacon grease. Just soak up the grease and put them in a container for later. Put some small wood in a chimney starter and grease soaked towel under it. Inside of a few minutes the chimney will be roaring. Btw my dad, who was born and raised on the farm, always said “fire is a wonderful slave, but a horrible master.”

So I’m still watching and you probably figure it out but always grade to clear earth around about a 10-20 ft radius around your burn piles and you only have to worry about flying embers vs the fire just climbing up the hill Having water n pump set up before hand also eliminates stress. Putting the water pump combo on a trailer would be good for you guys and could be a fab video all to itself!

Back in my younger days I used to clear downed trees and brush in the mountains for people. We stacked the piles and waited till the first snow fall to burn them. We would put tar paper on the top of the piles to keep a section dry and make it easier to get a fire started. But at least you are prepared for a fire run away with your fire fighting tank and pump. Your place is really looking nice too! And little Oliver is sure a cute little guy!

Sounds like you need a lesson in fire management. Pre wetting does nothing. The BTU's evaporate that small amount of wasted water very quickly. Secondly, the fire department extiguishes fires, they don't preplan them. A burn pile requires common sense.

When I want to cut and clear brush around the burn area I've found that it's hard to beat a 10" x 80 tooth Carbide Tip Brush Blade mounted on a straight shaft string trimmer. They cost about $15 for a pair online. The carbide can slice through up to at least a 3-1/2 " diameter sapling (as long as I don't tilt the blade and cause it to bind or push it hard enough that the engine speed drops excessively.) When my big Husqvarna trimmer was down I got a $120 / 26 cc straight shaft trimmer from a discount store and it has handled the blade very well too ! I never imagined how much I'd use this tool it until I had one. Thanks for the video !!!

So a bought a big $800 chipper shredder a few years back because every year I have to cut and burn so much tree debris off my property I thought it would be nice to just use one of those and make free mulch. Well let me tell you, it was probably the worst purchase ever due to the fact that I had to process everything down so that it would fit in that little shoot and was so much work and so time consuming not to mention the noise, vibration, jams, etc. that I quickly found out that the thing is pretty much worthless, now that big behemoth thing you rented is great but not something I would ever be able to cost effectively use so I sold the chipper at a loss and am back to burning.

We all make mistakes but fires can really be dangerous. I am an Aussie and had a bush property in Victoria. Any burning needed a fire break around, yes water nearby, I was in the volunteer fire brigade so had access to that resource, pick the day- wind strength and fire rating. You have the dozer so having that nearby and ready will pile dirt onto small outbreaks fast. I don’t like fires in pines as they can go fast. Still this didn’t look to be uncontrollable. This was a good educational video. Thanks for sharing.

Chipped a lot of firewood. Must not have a wood stove? No foam ridge cap seal? I use containers for shops. I pout 4 support runways and set set the containers. The runways are set 6" above the finished main floor slab which is poured after the roof is on. I build 5-ft pony walls at the outside edge of the containers and land trusses on those. This gives you storage room on top of the containers. It also allows for a 14-ft high doors to the main floor. I usual put Bi-fold aircraft hanger style doors on both ends. And option is Leanto shed on both sides for whatever. Will follow along. Love your attitude and energy.

having had burn piles for 50 years, and a few mistakes also..... since you have a way to add fuel easily, (excavator, I do that too) make your pile smaller with good clearing around it. You weren't that bad, but it could have been a bit clearer. #2, have water READY to pour on if necessary. Dampening the area around the fire isn't that great. it just burns off, especially since you don't have that much water. Also you burned on a nice sunny day. Burn when it is sprinkling or raining. Hell, burn in the snow, then you know it will not go far. whatever you do, don't burn in the wind!

Maybe now you will test, using boiled cornstarch and baking soda paste for fighting fires. It will stay wet for up to 2hrs vs how fast water alone dries out. Note TetraKO in a 300 gallon tank will go a lot farther than just using a 300 gallon tank of water maybe up to 3x.

We have rented that same model chipper several times. I use my excavator to feed in the logs. It can actually take up to 12 inch logs. I love how it makes chips so fast.

That chipper comparison was a HOOT!! I love burn pile times! Pull up a chair and be mesmerized! Always enjoy your “can do” attitudes! Courtney, love your femininity along with your enjoyment of POWER engines! Plus you’re an excellent Mum and amaze me with your hard work ethics. Riley your ingenuity never seems to amaze me. I’m eager to see what you design next! You’ll get your million subscribers, positive of that!

Next DIY project should be a fire skid unit for the army truck! Every land owner should have one….saved me twice in five years.

This video seemed do short! It was scary to see how fast that fire got wild.... This last summer we had some crazy winds here which caused 2 fires go wild and we were close to both of them. We had to evacuate until it was safe , when the winds shifted. Now I think I'm more prepared with a big box of family photos and a few other very important things ready to grab. See you all next video.

FYI I had about 10 yards of wood chips between the garage and the house and I noticed it looked hazy. I got to starring at the pile and saw steam/smoke coming from the pile. I dug into it and the whole middle was ash and was around 200 degrees. My chips were as fresh as yours. The decomp generates heat and started burning. That's why they always turn a compost pile. So don't be surprised if yours does the same from the big chipper
