[@Aimeecat01]

My dad and me watch you videos every Saturday from Scotland we love them, my Dad says when using your generator , uncoil your cable fully or it generates heat in the coil and can catch fire

[@Rotthound]

@Aimeecat01 ooh excellent comment.. generator fires are a real threat in the forest!! Another safety tip is keep flammables stored far far away from generator shed !! And keep many many fire extinguishers and possible pump system from the river on alternate power source

[@Aimeecat01]

@ When an extension lead is coiled, the wires are packed closely together, increasing the overall resistance. The closer proximity of the wires means they can generate more heat due to the increased resistance encountered by the flowing electric current

[@brucemurray8183]

Your dad is correct. Not sure if cord will ignite but coiling the extension cord will create an inductor which is an impedance to alternating current. Maybe no fire but a definite inefficiency.

[@GrumpyTV12]

​@@brucemurray8183 I have witnessed an extension cord fire, it was wound up in a reel. They can generate heat enough to catch fire when coiled up, but not sure if this will happen in cold winter months, but hot weather, YES it can

[@Pukie916]

James, just a tip when installing your strapping on your rafters. Don’t make your joint (where your two lengths of strapping meet) on the same rafter all the way up the roof. Offset the joints. You can have the joint on the same rafter every second row of strapping, and then two joints every second row of strapping. Think of it like stacking bricks. Provides much greater strength. That’s the best way I can describe it. Not a big deal on a wood shed, but a good habit to get into. Love the channel. You’re doing a great job !!!

[@wildhomestead]

GOOD SIR PUKIE, EXCELLENT ADVICE! YES I AM AWARE OF THIS PRACTICE IN GENERAL, AND I SHOULD HAVE EMPLOYED IT HERE FOR SURE! STRENGTH AND HONOUR TO YOU! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Also when you go to store your tracks , lay them on there side , pop boogie wheel caps off , dry out any moisture with rag , then put tiny bit of oil just enough to coat side of bearing , leave them sit for a few hours , pop your caps on , then flip over and repeat on other side , the oil is basically just to keep the rust out , and your bearings will last longer , as a atv tech I’ve seen guys who use them only in snow and they’ve got 9 years no issues

KZbin wants to make sure that video views are coming from real people. That’s why a KZbin view is only counted when the following two criteria apply: A user intentionally initiates the watching of a video. The user watches it on the platform for at least 30 seconds.

[@susann7898]

So does it count if I watch the video like 3 times .....and I hit like

[@franceswatts4001]

@ I think once you have hit Like the thumbs up turns black. If you watch again, it will still be black. However watching 3 times definitely increases the number of views which is just as important. Someone can correct me, but maybe if you watch on 3 different things (phone, tablet, laptop for example) you MAY be able to hit the Like button on each. Good question btw.

Just a tip. The steel sheets have an overlap and an underlap. You should have started your roof with the overlap on the right. The overlap doesn’t have the small tail on the edge of the sheet. Your panels will lay flatter and line up easier.👍

You should purchase a thumb throttle extension! I love the one I have, it's simple to install and saves strain on your thumb! It also will let you have more control of your throttle, preventing a lot of sudden spikes of power so to speak. It also let's you use more of the base of your thumb. I have bad thumb joints and the extension was a game changer! Amazon sells them

[@HaywardOV]

Just a thought I had, why not put the guest tent on one side of the firewood shed, extend the stove pipe out the back and above the roof (install roof) this ensures you have room for friends (just for this season) and you still have plenty of room for firewood 🪵. Great videos

I know that you mentioned using solar panels down the line for energy. Was wondering if you've considered using a water wheel system to produce energy as well since you have an excellent river that seems to flow pretty well throughout the seasons.

[@nightshadow2870]

You should put your starlink dish on the roof with the pole mount you can get from starlink shop. It doesn't need to be under a roof it's designed to be in the open, rain and snow is no problem. That's why it has the snow melting feature. It would look much cleaner on the roof. I've had mine in the same spot on the roof since starlink was available.

Can't tell if you have cross bracing on the back roof section. Blocking from scraps are a good investment. Looks good for snow load now, but cross bracing would help protect against sideways forces like a tree limb. It's amazing what you have accomplished in a year. You're amazing.

Growing up, my family burned wood for heat in the winter. Loveee the wood crib. I grew up hoisting big logs only a hydraulic splitter that my dad welded / made. If you have the wood available you could do the same. Its a big job each winter but it will keep you fit, and it is very rewarding when you have sourced, split, and stacked your own wood.

Is there anyway you can invest in a bigger propane tank for yourself? Maybe something near your driveway so that you can fill up smaller tanks more easily?

James, when discussing the trail/snow clearing it would be ‘dressing’ the surface? (I’m a UK viewer and using the term ‘grooming’ has a totally different connotation here) Side note, every time you say praise Odin, you get one of my Huskies attention… his name is Odin 😂 Ooga Booga!

[@skmarrama]

Grooming here is common terminology with snow. The ski resorts will groom the snow runs overnight for the next day. It smooths out the grooves and divots. But it definitely does have different meanings depending on where you live.
