A hard hat might be a good investment. We had them and the bike helmets and used them for any type of danger, even during a tornado.

[@terryhenderson424]

In part of the country, communities with a history of logging have a term "widow makers" referring to hanging branches, broken off tops, and the like. Ultimately, a widow maker is a portiinnof a tree which could fall down through a tree for any reason and hit a person below. It doesn't take much of a branch piece to seriously injure someone or make a fresh widow. Do be careful of how you position yourself and where you work beneath a damaged tree, the tree next door which could be harboring a piece of branch, or even a few trees down if the wind is blowing at all. - You dont want to making a fresh widow as they say.

A contractor I used to build a porch was cutting down a tree on his place and misjudged the fall direction. It hit him on the head and killed him instantly. Left a wife and 2 young kids.

[@scottfindley7284]

It's not just in PART OF THE COUNTRY or in COMMUNITIES WITH A HISTORY OF LOGGING that ues the term Widow Maker. It's known WORLD WIDE. I've watched shows from eastern Canada, South America, Europe and everywhere else that use that term.

Hey Sean you should build your wood shed along with a sawmill building and combine them together but you could cut your lumber for your sawmill on your sawmill, wouldn't have to buy much material, but maybe some screws and nails then you could cut some slats for the roof.just a thought my friend. Looks like your getting everything ready around the homestead and possibly ready for winter. It's a coming but something to think about plus you could store your outside tools in it during the winter months.

[@robertsantiago4329]

Your going to need a wood Shed to story and keep it dry Keep up the good work the house is coming along great

I noticed in the beginning of the video you were swiping with your magnet roller. nothing worse than getting a nail and it was your fault, and all you had to do was take the time and do what you did!

To Marie McGillen, you must not have been watching very long. Go back and watch the old videos and those on Dutch Eats. He explains the role of his wife and girls. They do help him when other responsibilities give them time. His father-in-law and his brother have helped him.

Oak, one of the best for heating a home---how I miss that heat in our winters. It also smelled good while burning.

[@lindahipp8329]

That was a tall tree. Glad you were able to save part of it to mill. Nice job splitting the wood. Can't wait to see the heater installed. Love the way the pups listened to you when you told them to go to their pen. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@donnaA1000]

As I am watching you chainsaw that tree up I'm thinking in my mind "shouldn't he be wearing some kind of protection on his legs?" I'm sure I've seen you wear them before? Great wood splitter that sure helps a lot! Bless you ❤

[@katherinemckinney585]

I know you have a lot of trees but they go faster than you think when you need to use them for wood. We planted a wood lot at the back of our place so we can have replacement wood growing up where it was convenient for us and we can plan them a lot closer together and we came in and would Harvest like every third tree and then replace a small one there having a wood lot has really come in handy

[@waytoson]

Growing I would go to Michigan every summer and help split and stack wood for my grandparents... we didn't have all these fancy equipment..LoL. we had man power and determination to get it done... TFS Dutch be safe and blessings

[@lc91902]

You are doing an excellent job. 👍😊 You have so much wood to split and will need so much more for your masonry heater. Maybe you could borrow the splitter Daniel uses, four logs at once takes care of those huge piles of trees in record time .

[@kimmorgan9085]

I am so glad to see you starting on your firewood. I watch a channel called "In the woodyard" his name is Chris and he loves wood like you do. If you haven't caught his channel yet check it out I think you will really like it. Love to you and your family

Thank You from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful videos. As I told you before I was living for the day I retired so I could be my son Ricky’s helper like little Hope is with you and when he passed away so suddenly at age 47 all my hopes and dreams were gone. Being able to watch you and your girls doing things together gives me such peace. And when I watch you cut down trees and use your splitter I can see him teaching me all the things I have always wanted to do 💔 I am so very proud of you and your family! Am excited for the heater install. With all the acres of woods you have it will be awesome. And thank God you have all the equipment right there. You all stay safe and well and enjoy.

You,Daniel, Kevin, Jason and many other homesteaders could teach many parents today how important being a Christian and how it affects how you parent and your relationship with your spouses. I grew up in the 60s and 70s when parents did what most of you homesteaders are doing. We were poor but didn't know because our Dads worked hard and our Moms were around to teach us food preservation and good quality homes thst taught us values, hard work and mostly manners and kindness toward others. We grew up to help the community when needed and to keep away when needed. It was a much better time in America where the politics and division was neutral. Love yours and many other homestead channels and thanks for the shirt. I found nt pay the shipping on the saw I randomly won and coyld have used but you blessed me with a shirt instead.

You should be cutting firewood out of the brush piles for burning this winter. I can’t really tell anyone about what wood to cut to burn first though. When I was around 13 or 14 years old I didn’t cut much firewood until we really needed it. We were always to busy on our dairy farm. My dad did buy some waste wood from a local sawmill sometimes too. A lot of the wood we burnt was green.

Dutch, you can use the wood from the trees you feel to make the shed for the fire wood. I wouldn't store tools l, machinery or anything else with the wood incase it catches on fire. The life you chose allows you to play with big boy toys which is still hard work, but you make it look easy.
