Off Grid Cabin Project....Cutting logs, Pulling Stumps and my new log arch!

today we'll be cutting up logs that we'll later saw up for boards. I just got a new log arch and we'll try it out. I also found a big surprise when I cut into one particular log..........

[@susiet2150]

There’s something calming and peaceful about Dave and his methods. I always look forward to them.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@johnwilliams727]

I agree

[@dougswanson2563]

Agreed...it's kinda like watching a more modern Dick Proennke (pbs alone in the wilderness)

Oh i love what you said to this beautifull Frog not many people would have cared you and your wife are so kind and loving i respect you both and amazed what beauty you do thank you both from down under

[@l.b3030]

Poor little tree frog. Thanks for relocating him. 😊

[@edlmcnulty04]

That log arch is the coolest thing I've seen. Its like your own little skidder

[@user-hy2so9px7t]

Another good one. But we need more. It's just too good. You are the gold we've been panning for.

[@JudiDolliverAstley]

I love campfires. I grew up on the northern shores of Lake Huron & now live in a Detroit suburb. Camping keeps me sane. We do have a small fire pit we made with some bricks from Menards & that is calming. My dad used to make & smoke our own Kielbasa. Now I hit up the Polish Mkt or Kowalski’s. 😊

[@jamiemoen-bi3gd]

Hard work and a little common sense! Will get you everything you need in life!!! 🇺🇲💯✌

[@HaroldReece]

Thanks Dave. You and your wife produce some of the best videos. They are always entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Never to old to learn new things even if you never implement the knowledge in your everyday life. Thanks Dave. Blessings to you and the family.😊🇺🇲

[@johnhunt8807]

Can't get enough of your videos ,relaxing, educational and informative 👌 keep them coming

[@TheMitchyevans]

When I was 8 my friend and I were throwing rocks into a dirt pile, and one rock collapsed a toads' little den. Seeing this tree frog just have me the most intense reliving of that moment.

[@faithlaw8516]

Dave, I’m very happy you saved the tree frog!! I sure do appreciate you Brooke and Mick!! God bless you all (and Belle!!)

[@jacekpiechucki]

Steve! Thanks for appreciation of our kiełbasa! 05:00 I gave up some time ago on similar stump... with no horsepower available.But its time is coming!

[@marcberm]

Back in the early 90's when Home Depot first opened around here (Warwick, RI), they legit had a permanent stand outside the entrance where you could buy sausage, dogs, burgers, and canned sodas. Was there for years before it disappeared.

[@chanceburger3169]

Yes the one by me in Annapolis MD has had a food truck there every day 15 years running

[@marcberm]

@@chanceburger3169 This one in particular wasn't even mobile. It was basically a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen and counter up against the building. Its roof was the overhang that covered the entrance/exit. Now it's where they put the grills, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, or whatever's in season.

[@larrykapp3409]

Listening

[@Sawyersketches14]

My 4yo and I love watching your videos! He has learned so much about building from you already and just informed me he wants a logging arch for Christmas! He also just said if he was there with you, he would help :)

[@PatrickWagz]

Every 4 year-old needs his own logging arc!! Hopefully Santa can fit it down the chimney. Keep him watching this channel... and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine young man!

[@janeevans4758]

Oooh that little 🐸 so sweet...hop on little buddy ..great bit of kit Dave 👍

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

I got a log arch for my husband when our truck died!! Oh man they are amazing! Ours is a walk behind but even I can move a pretty huge trunks up to 16 feet long! The older we get we try to think smarter, not harder! Best money I ever spent!! Have a great summer!!

[@cmonsour8516]

That kid was brilliant making that log hauler. What a back breaker saver😊

[@Brette_Caldwell]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Appreciate you for making them.

[@ttjohns4821]

Our Lowes used to have a truck out front for years. Selling sausage and peppers sandwiches. Made me hungry even if I had just had lunch. lol

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

My Lowes too in Central PA

[@freespeechforever]

Have found this project really interesting and, as and others have said, watching you at work is a real pleasure. Can't wait to see progress!

[@JanesDough855]

Your ingenuity is truly awesome. You're helping a lot of folks out there! Love that building and can't wait to see how you and Brooke fix it up!

[@robv2026]

That logging arch is pretty cool and using the wheel horse is a great choice. Too many folks overlook the value of a good old garden tractor.

[@Supercell725]

Watching a guy do light too medium duty work shouldn’t be this interesting. I think it’s your voice that keeps people coming back for more. I keep coming back and I like it.

[@neutralobservation9418]

Missed that little guy by a coat of paint. The log trailer is sweet. Thanks for this upload.

[@suzannest-laurentdvorak459]

Another great long awaited video. Thanks I love your sons website, he is very interesting to listen too. Anxious to see the progress of his cabin in the coming months.

[@squarewheel142]

Watching these video's makes me wish I was young again with a strong back.

[@firefly3256]

Nice save on the toad Dave. You radical guy. Thank you.😊

[@Wil_Liam1]

You should come on down to the deepest heart of south Abalama and the panhandle of Florida and do a little work out in the woods and see what HOT and Humid really is... You'll flee back up north and truly enjoy working in the summertime up there ..😂

[@checkfoldcallraise]

This is truly a great channel. It has the relaxed music combined with calm narration. There’s a meditative quality to it. I dream of a life like this so it really awesome and calming to watch and learn from. Thank you sir for your honest work both on your property and on the channel. 💪🏼💪🏼

[@lpschick7237]

That’s freaking crazy the frog survived!! Property is starting to look good. Great work Dave!! ❤

[@EphemeralProductions]

That frog is so cute! ❤ adorable. So glad you saved him and he wasn’t hurt

[@matthewsmom010902]

I appreciate all that you do and share! It’s so nice to see men being men again 😊

[@ruthiewrangler9864]

Years ago I was helping my father drop a big red oak, and when it fell to coons came crawling out of it. "I didn't need that tree" he said. We both felt bad, but they didn't get hurt. I love how you care about the land and who lives on it. The place is looking great Dave.

[@myvoiceyourstory9338]

Goodness your fathers heart and soul . So kind and you are too . Love and light thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

The only way to learn is to do, and this man's done it. Always a great watch.

[@loisgalloway7143]

So looking forward to your next video of the abandoned cabin. Can't wait to see what you and Brooke do to it. It will be beautiful!!!

Love the ideas you present on how to do things and make them look fairly easy. Looking forward to the next!

The use of the Logging Arch reminded me of my pipe fitting days. The Sumner company made a similar product called a Grasshopper that was used to move lengths of pipe around a job site by hand. A very simple and labor saving device.

[@lavitikis100]

I live off grid 3700 elevation in northern California close to Oregon border. I found you after watching your sons cabin build videos. Amazing all the things you thought him I love it. I had no idea what along arch was until today. I love learning all these new techniques and equipment you have shown me just in the few days of me checking your channel out.

[@butchwells1936]

Made my day! Wasn't expecting a Dave video today ... Should have ... Because one thing we know for sure about Dave ... He's radical!!! Best story teller I never met ... Thanks for another insightful life session looking through your eyes! 'Til the weather cools, or another radical story line pops in your head ... I'll be ready to stop and listen!! Wishing you the best. And always continue to ... "B" radical!

[@davidpatterson5728]

We lived totally off grid for 40 plus years in Vermont, loved every minute. I built an arch for 4 wheeler, just found the pictures recently, brought back a lot of memories. Probably pulled 8/10 cord of wood per year. would love to send you a photo if interested. watched a lot of your stuff, all great great information! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
