Trying to Survive “Little Alaska” Winter 20 Years Old Day 59

[@Abitflippant]

Will, if you're gonna use the van to charge things up, DON'T. bite the bullet and buy a $100 generator at HarborFreight. It's job is to create energy and it's much more efficient at that then your minivan. As a bonus, the noise will scare off the critters. As another bonus it adds another layer to the backups for the backups you need for an environment like this. Edit. You leaving dirty dishes at night is probably what's bringing the cougars so close. If you don't wash them get a big bin with a lid to put them in and seal up till the next day.

He is almost 3 but loves to see hooper and you are living the life I always wanted...me, God and nature...I'm disabled now,so you're living my dream for me! Thanks for bringing us so much joy and for sharing your journey with us!you're in my prayers, Kat P.S. Thanks so much for keeping the language pretty clean...my grandson really likes to watch.

The hooper in the snow part was giving me old home video vibes. That's great you'll be able to look back on that first big snow for Hooper years from now.

[@leetcomics3523]

Some tips for you, Ive done lots of log building. Your saw chain is too tight. When you pull the chain with gently force you should be able to lift it about half inch off the bar. Yours is too tight and will wear the bar too fast and over heat it. For a log to span you need a length equal to 1 to 1.5 times diameter but in ft. So say you have a 6 inch diameter log, it will span about 6 to 9 feet depending on the type fo wood and how many knots. Watch a few saw safety videos. Guys I've worked with who get careless will have accidents. I'm not a chaps guy either but that's me. Right now I think you're biggest risk of injury is from the chainsaw. Keep having fun but play safe.

[@zachm241]

At one point in the video, he was on tippy-toes with the chainsaw in one hand to get a small branch, and the chainsaw swug down right past his leg while still in operation I agree with you entirely

[@greyygoblinn5639]

For sure let camera man have his own little place, I’m sure the van gets old after a bit. Bushcraft or not y’all deserve to be moderately comfortable for all the great content you two are now putting out for us. Keep it up man, crazy to see it all coming together, WILL SURVIVES!!!!!

[@moneymaker1986]

Will, if your wood stove is new and has been painted, you need to make sure to get run it and get it hot. It’s gonna smell really bad the first few times but eventually it’ll stop. Also, test the ventilation inside your cabin with the wood stove burning before you sleep with it runnin. A carbon monoxide detector wouldn’t be a bad idea for your little home. All love man. Stay safe Will!

[@Swampyankeehomestead]

He won't listen to good advice like this. I used to burn them outside with pipe then bring them in the next day and install them. That paint smell is horrible.

The hour long episode are fire. It really makes us feel like we are out there living with you guys! It's so cool to see you guys all out there, felt like a family gathering haha. I just got my starlink delivered and I've basically got the supplies I need now to do this. I'm looking to venture out myself, but I think I need to wait until Christmas becauss my parents would be sad if i left them before that. Good news is my Mom saw all my stuff and didn't freak out about me wanting to live in the woods lol. Congrats on all your success man. This is only the beginning :)

[@joshsandulak475]

Not sure how deep your posts are going, but just a suggestion for cold weather environments - you're going to want to put your supports and poles at LEAST 3 - 4 feet deep. Basically needs to be as deep as your frost line, plus another foot or two. Otherwise, during the freezing and thaw... the ground will heave it up and your structures etc. will get wonky and fall apart over time. Keep on keepin' on!!

[@cglez32a]

You need a release for your compound bow. Its a clamp that wraps around your wrist and you use your index finger to let them fly. If you want to use your fingers you need a regular recurve bow. Love the content looking forward to watching more.

[@jerrymatzen1622]

You can shoot a compound bow with fingers I killed my first elk and deer that way however after the third season which was my third year I switched to the release I really liked it for 2 reasons I could hold my bow at full draw alot longer and it did away with problems drawing with a soak and wet leather glove I live in Washington State an hr and a half from Portland so you know how wet that is when it comes to the bow thing if your comfortable with your finger just leave it as is brother good luck !!!!

[@notsure9735]

Hey Will if you find a big stainless cook pot at thrift store, or wherever, you could fill it with dirt, or sand, set it over the stove hole to plug the smoke, and it would act as heat battery. Just an idea, nobody works harder, great job bro👍👍

[@Cricksncreeks]

Bro, got a suggestion. If burn the portion of the logs that go into the ground they will harden and not rot as fast.

[@Luz4SiKio]

Don’t let the new subscribers get to you. If they’re talking sh*t, they are still watching you and entertained, which is what matters. I think you should build the micro cabin for your camera man. You can use it for a guest house like you said. It makes more sense than building a second cabin you don’t need. Your killin it brother. Energy ball 🖐️🏀🏀🏀

[@codyblea3638]

Will, I admire your work and goals. The dedication to improving yourself is inspirational. Your mentality through all of your struggles is something to be respected. And the results are nothing short of awesome. But as someone who started working at the age of 5 in tree removal/care with a specialty in fire mitigation and forest health and going on my 23rd year in my field, I have a lot of suggestions for both you (Will) and the property owner. From what I have seen of Will's videos, a lot of the taller coniferous trees are going to die off or snap in high winds or winter storms. The green branches are less on than a third of the total tree's height. In conifers, this will isolate the shock of wind/snowload just below the lowest green branches. This will often snap the tree at the weakest point in the stem below the green. Clean your chainsaw's air filter regularly! That needs to be end of work maintenance. This is more important if you are a few thousand feet above sea level. Blowing out your clutch in below freezing weather is also of dire importance. Last bit is to research ripping chain for chainsaws, this is the chain you want for making planks as it is designed for cutting with the grain. Please do not use ripping chain for anything else, it is not to be messed with. Stupid dangerous outside of plank making and even then you need to respect that it is way more aggressive than a standard chainsaw chain.

[@joeystull5682]

Chainsaw tip too, on your exhaust there’s a wire mesh screen (spark arrestor or sum as I understand it) take it off and torch it till it glows and put it back on. It burns off all the carbon so the motor can breath. This the last one man, much love, west Texas

[@ScribeSeph]

Do what you want, Will! Make the tiny home. Make whatever you want! Just make sure you survive because you're a ball of sunshine! I wasn't here from the beginning and I'm not really on social media but since I watch a bunch of homestead stuff (living vicariously through others), your video was recommended to me. You're adorable, young man. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@GregoryJohnston77]

Will you need a 4-wheeler for pulling logs out of the woods and for chores and park your van or truck up top use the wheeler to get to it. You have such ambition you'll be alright lol

[@GooGz]

Get yourself a set of post hole diggers, Seymour is a good brand, and a digging bar. Most bars come with a flared end at the top that you can use to tamp and stiffen the dirt to make a sturdier post. Rule of thumb is to dig a hole to be 1/3 of the length of the post you are setting.

remember you dont need to train for years. the powertools and modern tech will save you from the learning curve. unless you think you're gonna do what he's doing, with a hand axe, a few shovels, a hoe, no electricity, no generator- i wouldn't take myself so seriously. *if i was you* you can probably get out there and do it now, son. it's not total rocket science., when you're by yourself you'll be surprised at how much faster you will learn certain skills.

[@censorthesenuts]

and if you do it vanilla, with metal hand tools, you're sharpening those tools.and ontop of that** (drunk edit) are you a blacskmith*? gonna make yourself a new knife,shovel, etc when yours goes to shit? be realistic fam! what does 'training for years' even mean?

[@censorthesenuts]

see the point?

[@marksullivan5793]

Hey just a tip if you want. When lambing a downed tree stand on one side and limb the other that way there’s very little chance of cutting yourself bc the tree is in between you and the blade! Also try with all your might to not put your blade in the ground at all it’ll keep your blade sharper for hundreds of more cuts!

[@TheBoss34e]

when you bury the post, you should get a bag of cement and sand. mix the cement and sand with rocks and water and pour it around the posts if you want them to stay for a really long time. if you plan on moving them then what you’re doing is fine, maybe just dig them a little bit deeper.

[@keltonchavis5983]

I know this is going sound crazy but then post will rot way quicker in cement than in just being dug deep as shit and packed and tamped the hell out of it dirt drys out and becomes saturated with the seasons etc that cement will trap moisture from within the wood itself and make it a straight perfect environment for rot to start but either way it's so wet there it want matter to much cause of its going rot regardless at a high rate but will last longer than he will ever be concerned with I promise that either way he does but in dry climates cement for sure will take out a wood post before natural hole and post setup will rot

[@scrappyoakswoodcraft]

I have a couple years experience living in a cabin so i might have a little helpful insight. Maybe mount your pathway lights to posts so they don't get buried in snow. For trash, separate burnables from plastic/cans and take trash out every time you go to town or it will get overwhelming and attract critters. Lay down bark and small twigs on your pathways or it will become a mucky mess. Def look into getting a small generator. You going to do an outdoor fire pit? Be nice to warm up and would also clean up some of the branch piles around there. Those canvas/tarp roofs are going to load up with snow. It's easy to knock off 3-4 inches but 8-12 inches will be HEAVY. Might try to get extra support under those. Keep it up man. I'd love to still be doing this.

If I could give you a some advice I’d try to have a pre shot routine and do the exact same thing in each shot. Hold the bow in your left hand the same, same anchor points on your face etc. Also I would just shoot at 10-15 years until you get really consistent groups then you can adjust the sight if need be and move to further distances! Keep it up man you are so inspiring!

[@crystian26]

Congratulations on the plaque, keep doing what you’re doing.

Brother, I can’t imagine life being blind or def. Please wear eye/ear protection. Also chaps are extra warmth and layer of protection when crashing through brush and branches they also have a pocket perfect for carrying your scrench for quick chain tensioning to keep the chain from jumping off the bar. BTW I can imagine life without a foot, I imagine there would be a lot of hopping😮. Seriously I’ve made some irresponsible/irreversible mistakes that would have been almost consequence free if I had been following basic safety precautions. I hope to see you set a good example for the rest and live to work another day. Also Tinnitus is horrible. And if you get an eye punctured don’t pull the object out, the eye will deflate like a water balloon and be even worse. I hope your first aid kit has a tourniquet and is always kept close by. Remember You are your first responder. Take care brother.

Tiny home sounds fun to watch. Look into bubble insulation. It’s like bubble wrap with a silver side that helps to push your body heat back at you. You could put it in the van too. Keep up the great work!

Also I believe your doggo is right at the age where it's you or him who is alpha, he looks at you for action when you command him, give him none and he will assume alpha mode, he may settle in as #2 cause you have the food but I digress, keep on keeping on

Hey will loving the content, make sure to clean the solar panels off, the light during a dim day will still generate some power. If the panels have snow on them they will not be doing much.

I used to use closet dowels and zip tie to stretch my tarps helps distribute weight too
