THE FARMHOUSE. Getting Ready For A Big Winter Storm. Cutting more wood. Farmhouse cooking.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Wood boilers are for physically-fit, agile folks. You always are prepared. Great job! 👍✨

[@hboogie8759]

I'd have to cut those pieces smaller than that. The idea of moving all that heavy wood is not appealing.

[@72PRODIGALSON]

I still find it hard to believe you have less than 100k subscribers, as great as this channel is!

[@repurposedart9897]

Thats a nice wood boiler...

[@jflan8536]

Filling and keeping up with that boiler is going to keep you young. Love it, incredibly interested in it and how it works out.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

I'm looking forward to the next videos! catching up

[@Roseau1]

I have had three outdoor stoves in the past twenty years. Burned all varieties wood. The one that surprised me was tamarack. It cut easy and produced almost as much heat as oak. Plus it smelled like Christmas! Like the scent of a fresh cut Christmas tree. It is full of pitch which produces a quick and very hot burn.

[@johnemery9634]

Yup I mix it in with hard maple. Not to much. It can burn your stove out. Its hot stuff

[@matthewloomis838]

How come so many in 20 years? Different properties?

[@davemi00]

Same with White Cedar -Aborvitae, lots of pitch oil.

[@DHarri9977]

Hey Joe, glad to see you getting things prepared, stay safe and warm up there, and thanks for letting us tag along as you work out your system in keeping the wood piled high as the snow continues to fly.

[@johnemery9634]

Let some air out of tires and put your chains on then pump up your tires. Seems to work on the neighbors wheeler

[@katherinebabcock55]

One of my favorite things about watching your channel is that I feel you are always ready…stay warm and thanks for the videos.

Look at that beautiful Chevy sitting there, classing up the joint! lol. I bet you're SO happy you got all this prep work done before the storm!

As far as Christmas Movies, I am a big fan of A Christmas Carol. I love the message. We usually watch a few different versions every year.

It will be interesting to learn from you how your chainsaw chains works between cutting the birch vs hard maple… the difference between sharpening.

[@michellerobinson1318]

A Christmas Carol is my favorite, much prefer the old movies

[@kenhart6330]

Hello Joe you certainly keep yourself fit building the guest cabin and cutting and stacking those logs. Apparently birch rots from the inside. Even standing trees don't show it until they are cut. Those heaters are widely known over here in the UK 🇬🇧. They look awesome but logs aren't easy to find in towns here either. I used to work around forests and speaking to the forest rangers is how I found out about birch and the other species. All the best to you both for Christmas and the New Year. 🎄🎄🎅🤶

[@Just_in_time_outdoors]

Your new truck deserves a video itself. That thing is sweet

[@LanceHanlonOutdoors]

I hear you Joe. My wife likes watching the Hallmark channel Christmas movies every year, and they all seem to be the same ones. That's where I go into my basement and work on reloading ammo and work on my gunstocks. Happy Holidays!

[@rikkitikkitavi997]

Thanks. Your video came just at the right time. I was heading into one of my seasonal funks and watching you work was just what I needed to cheer me.😛

[@SuperOzarkian]

I hope your outdoor furnace is doing its job Joe. I have a friend that had one (don't know the brand) and he ended up removing it and putting his wood stove back in because he said he was having to burn so much wood and spending too much time loading it.

[@MrBeeradb1]

That must be quite a chore climbing into that lifted truck and no running boards.

[@scottanderson2980]

Joe you should put a load in the boiler and then fill up the sled and park it infront of the boiler so when you come out all you do is load it in.

[@sylviahunt3419]

Hello Joe! We just finished having a nor’easter here. They predicted 12” - 18” of snow. First big storm of the season. Hopefully you won’t have power outages or freezing rain with your storm. Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄

glad everything is done. you did a lot. you and the family stay safe and warm.

[@jeremykruse159]

Hey Joe, I'm a long time follower. I remember when you got the king ranch, you didn't want to drive it in the salt or up to the tent because you didn't want to scratch it. As long as you have "Ol' Reliable" I say keep that pretty white truck off the winter roads.

[@michaelmancini5679]

Good clean workout and preparation for cold weather!

[@beckiblack4651]

Who has time to watch a Christmas movie? I barely have time to watch my @NorthernSeclusion video. 😉 Hopefully things will slow down in a couple days after getting all the parties and visits over with. Hope you guys have a very merry and relaxing Christmas!🎄🎄🎄

[@lutemule]

The storm hit us pretty hard! After three days we got about 18 inches of the heavy wet stuff. It did not want to move when I snow blow.

[@sarahbenjamin3386]

The prospect of sitting thru a rreacly Christmas movie suddenly made the prospect of putting chains on the four wheeler much more appealing, even to me. Good job on getting the jump on the snow!Looking forward to your next video.

[@bigd6663]

Joe with all the fuel u use u should have a storage tank and have it delivered

[@ziptie4061]

I subscribed because I love your show. It's real and very interesting how you live and get by daily. More on your channel about how you go about decision making and keep operating though all that comes your way. "Great"

[@scalereality4840]

Another great video! Wood stores best when kept off the ground a few inches and a cover on top, allow a small gap between the piles at end to end for air flow. Recommend a great book Norwegian Wood

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and continuing the guest house. Happy holidays

[@johns4584]

When I have to cut wood that has been snowed on, I give it a quick once over with the leaf blower if it's not too heavy........saves you from the unknown. You're a wood cutting machine Joe, some nice looking wood too.

[@joemaliga9497]

Lower the air pressure in your tires then put chains on and refill tires and use bungie cord or chain adjusters , you should never loose a chain.

[@himie236]

Love your channel! To keep our vehicles from rusting in the salt kingdom of Northern NY. We use to go to Quebec to get them oiled( mineral oil) now in the US there are many options: Flex oil is number one. We use bar and chain oil + atf+ 1 melted candle. It will stop rust and bolts come off like a Florida car. Cost for a truck is $175.00 / year to have it done here.

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

A lot of heavy work Joe, to bad you don’t have help. My husband and I cut wood for a few years I always helped wow :)

[@jameskirk5887]

Hey Joe! Love your videos. I couldn't help but laugh when you talk about it being 27 degrees and it not being cold. When it gets that low here in Texas where I live, I don't even want to get out of the house it's so cold. lol

My tip for getting chains as snug as possible on a quad,mis to dump the air out of the tire and lift the front or back up off the ground while you getting them on. Just add air and your good to go

Hey Joe can you can give us an update on the power situation there please? They are calling for frigid temps and snow here starting Thurs. through Christmas. They are saying its too early to say how bad it will be here. Stay warm and safe you two.

[@howardgreenawalt4888]

Hey Joe, why don't you build a lean-to roof off the side of the storage bed and park the tractor under it? the tractor is old and the roof would protect it from rain and snow. Also would make it easier to climb on board after 12" or so of snow you have coming !! Luna acres has a boiler like yours and they love it...

I use my pressure cooker to cook beans. In 45 minutes after steam starts they're done, nice and tender. I think cooking them like that breaks down the gas sugars as they didn't bother me nearly as much. Beans and cornbread

[@fpbuzz]

if you use a floor jack and jack up the rear end so the tires are off the ground and put your machine in neutral it makes it allot easier to put the chains on. also, if the chains feel loose check your tire pressure. they might be low.

[@barbiebush]

We have an outdoor wood furnace we burn about 20 cord of wood per year to heat our house and a two stall garage. Our house is a post and beam four bedrooms, three full size bathrooms finish basement and open floor.

It looks rather normal in your neck of the woods for this time of the year. But you all actually get snow and lots of it. We do get the occasional big snows (Big around her is 6-8") but we also get a lot of freezing rain and sleet. Never fun driving conditions. Most do not get chains so when the "blizzards" blow in it incapacitates us badly. But since Covid-19 things have changed for a lot of people. Schools and many businesses just work from home or schools do work over the internet.
