We Saw this at the AUCTION (I want it so bad)

[@Lau-zon180]

Those murals that are painted on the sides of the buildings, where done by my brother-in-law Allen Hilgendorf, him and his wife and 4 kids had a farm outside of Bancroft Ontario, unfortunately Allen passed away August 4th 2013 I see his murals all over the place in many towns and villages.

The definition of happiness is walking around, letting ones facination browsing hardware stuff. That's what boys' dreams are made of. And over the years I have bought lots of hardware and materials at auctions, which ended up gathering dust 😀 Indulgent Ray truly has an educational talent to our delight ...Burt Reynolds

[@PlaceOnTheHillProductions]

Over an hour of Raspberry Rock goodness! Going to save some of this for later when the drinking starts. Thanks Russell

[@josephcarriere450]

Love your videos. Drone footage was amazing. All your travels are interesting. Trail footage was great. Maybe your dogs need orange collar so they are not mistaken for the black bear in hunting season. Thanks for the videos.

[@rgober60]

Hey, just a little FYI after talking to a friend that lives in Alaska. Her husband took some metal roofing and put into like a V with the pionted end facinf out and attached to some poles then put on the front of their ATV with pins. Made a snow plough for their trail . Don't know if you thought about that but it might help you in the snow on your trails. 👍

[@suerobb2873]

Loved the video & the song about Autumn. The view of the lake from your porch is so peaceful. I never get tired of looking at it.

[@rubybirdseye1503]

Wow Russell, incredible video!! I loved it all!! The song, the drone, your time with Ray, the pups, the house getting the solar, that was the house with the delicious strawberries in the back? Glad you’re getting your new panels!! Hard to believe you’re already getting snow!! Watching this late Friday, not sure if you’re on live, I’ll go check.

[@johndebolt5853]

Hi Russ and Alicia. Solar, hunting and anything you guys are in, is always great. Thanks for the great video as always. Be well and safe.

[@Sandpipercom]

⛵Hey Russ, cook it in War of 1812 reenactors style, 🍽 make a Beef Stew 🍜 in a cast iron pot, 🍞over the fire; small chunks of beef, then carrots 🥕, potatoes 🥔, onions with cloves, sage, turnips, garlic, parsnip, cabbage, etc, thicken the liquid up with flour or gravy mix, can add some sausage or even corn 🌽, etc. What ever you got. Awe, just taking about it makes me hungry, I'll cook up a pot tomorrow, lasts for a few days

[@livin_life_321]

Hi there Russell I know this comment is late, watched your video last week and forgot to comment. It's a senior thing I think, LOL Anyway, great video. We do enjoy your talks about solar, your walks on your property, trips to town etc. Also enjoy your building videos. Miss City Girl and her padish segments. Pretty much any Raspberry rock video is worth the view! 😊

[@judyschepp8748]

Wonderful video Russell, Always enjoy a day with Ray and the sweet pups. Take care and stay safe!!!!

[@vanessagodiin770]

The fall scenery is beautiful at Raspberry Rock. Thank you for sharing Russell. Very busy time helping your friend out. The warehouse you visit has a lot of very interesting items. That back hoe digger looks like a handy machine for sure to have at the cabin. Your garden is still giving you food on the table. Well done! I would make a pot roast with the veggies around it that you harvested or a beef or chicken stew (Yummy on a cold day.) Eat hearty and enjoy the beautiful autumn days., Soon there will be a white blanket of snow over everything. Time to do a scout around to make sure you have everything you need over winter so it does not get buried. Have fun!

[@LivinInSim]

Hey, Russell, it's always interesting to catch some Ray, and see the many things that he can attempt to help you with. I think you're actually starting to get him spurred on. I kid, of course, but you two are the Jobs and Wozniak of the Northwoods. Or maybe you are the Tom and Jerry... That was so funny when Junebug was across the pond making serious eye contact, saying, "But I want to come home NOW---can't I just fly home? Do something..." I love that fridge with all the gizmos. If I could buy one thing in that warehouse, I'm sure that would be it. Or the mini ex, lol, serious yard redesign. It's great weather here again. If pup and I aren't down by the creek, we're on the canyon trail, very enjoyable. Drone footage was top notch as usual. Has there been a sky time lapse in a minute? Pea soup and I see a beef or venison stew in your future.

[@roberthakeman9822]

We boil ours Russell, we start digging in June or July as we plant like 400 plus hills so we get radishes potatoes beans cherry tomatoes and any other vegetables that are ready and maybe sweetcorn depending upon when stuff was planted cause we usually plant around good Friday if the snow is gone, love the music who plays it ?

[@heartradiant]

Russell, this video was wonderful. 🍁I don't care if it was an hour and 20 minutes. So much varied content. I enjoyed the beaver dam demolition process. The dynamics between you and Ray are a hoot. Your dogs finding their way back to the house around the lake...that was cute as snot (sorry...nothing cute about snot!) but your dialogue with them was very cute and made me chuckle. Your scenery footage across the lake and the drone footage was breathtaking. My favorite, tho, was the bear footage. You used exceptional self control in not spilling the beans about catching that bear on your trail cam. That was so cool. AND in broad daylight. Oh and those teensy potatoes...that was a big LOL moment for me. Lotsa great one liners. Big hug my friend.🤎

[@karolmolitor4675]

Russell, make some potato soup ! ❤

[@carolineindacityphx]

Woohoo! A Raspberry Rock video!!! ❤1 hour, 20 minutes and 35 seconds! A nice long one. Happy weekend to you and City Girl. ❤

[@genefowler948]

😢 Can you tell me why you don't just build a bridge instead of breaking up Beaver dam time after time it doesn't make much sense . Too go through this . All you need is logs and some lumber . It's silly

[@acanadianineurope814]

@@genefowler948 there was a bridge there before, you can see what was left of it. the insurance company made them take the bridge down, and I am not kidding. they used to call it The Bridge of Doooooooooooom.

I took a dump first three minutes

[@candidahl9380]

I enjoy all your video's. Boy hated to hear you had vertigo. I had it so bad a few years ago. I ended up going to the hospital by ambulance. Couldn't stop from throwing up and crawling to the bathroom was not an option. Thank God hubby was home that day. He carried me to the ever-loving toilet. Take care and stay healthy and warm.

[@danhchannel5973]

Thank you for a great video. Love the drone, ATV, beaver dam, and Ray & Russell footage.

Oh those drone shots, the colors and the music….perfect!❤

[@charlielamb4606]

I know that auction house well, back when i used to purchase from them, the premium was reasonable. now it is 12 percent added on. so a 1000 dollar item is going to cost pst/gst and 12 percent premium. that is around a extra 250 dollars more. my question is why, it is used items. the same as if you went to a flea market. if i buy the same item, in the same condition from a flea market i pay 1000 dollars all in. just my experience and option.

[@joebacarella1304]

Hey Russell. been gone all day, came home, had dinner and now I'm in for the night. This is by far better than anything on tv. Just wanted to thank you for what you do. Joe....Farmington Hills, Michigan.

[@ricksundberg5659]

Great video as usual!... 39:50 As a big Smokey and the Bandit fan I gotta say this, the names and radio handles were: Burt Reynolds as "Bandit" in the Trans Am, Jerry Reid as "Snowman" in the big rig and Jackie Gleason as Smokey in the cop car trying to catch the other two.

[@deborahmoczygemba3026]

Kudos Russell, love these long, beautiful, scenic videos. Not to forget the music. Fantastic choice 👌 Thank you!! ❤❤

[@TheLvablebird]

Hola👋from New Mexico🌵🌶️......Enjoy your videos. I could see you in that excavator and getting a lot of different projects done around the property and keeping the dams down. Beautiful fall season you had. Ours just started and I need to winterize. Ray is a great friend. And City Girl is awesome hope to see her. Roast beef stew. Gosh sorry about your vertigo. I want to watch so bye. I always have to rewine so I dont miss something

[@acanadianineurope814]

I would like to see the solar panel install, with some of the technical information as well. panels, methods of connecting, grid tied or batteries, etc, etc

[@polligma1450]

The potatoes and carrots would be great in a chuck pot roast, plus some onions and beef broth and a little red wine. Brown the roast on both sides. Cook in cast iron dutch oven with lid. Cook low and slow in oven. Great for a cold winter day. Thank you for the video.

[@samuelloftheim967]

I'm glad that you specified that I wasn't Russell at the beginning of this! Smiling I was confused there for a bit. Another great video sir!

Hello Russell. You're always entertaining to watch especially when you help? Ray...ha. its beautiful up there. You captured that big healthy buck and doe and all those bear visiting one spot. Loved the song..sounded like you singing it.

[@larrygorst8749]

Good tunes Russ. Fit with the surroundings, and made sense. When you started to clear the Dams I thought it was going to be hard driving? Then along game Autumn. Much too soon though. Fun video, thanks for sharing.

[@piecemaker2481]

Good use for your fresh root harvest would be a good old fashioned pot roast.

[@pattiwhite9575]

Great Video! The colors of the trees and the music. So relaxing. I am so happy for you to have a buddy like Ray in your life. At least he gets you out of the house and interacting with other guys for a day or two. Those pallet auctions Ray goes to is a great place. So many great things to find there. You have got to kill those damn beavers. I think you have more of them now. Why can't they dam up the river crossing spot for you??? Love the animal cam. There are at least two boys worth shooting. Was that a wolverine? You got to the fattest racoon ever. What is it eating? Next spring you have got to plant lots blueberry bushes or apple trees where you want to shoot deer at. Sorry you got the dizzy spell.

Hey Patti your really into the killiing of things .

Good video Russell, That song though, too meloncholy for a Friday!

[@humpycampnostrovia5848]

Russel, you need a sxs, I know there is a lot more work to be done on the trail for that to be feasible but you will not regret the comfort and the hauling capability. Not to mention staying dry warm or cool.JMO and experience.

I cook them and butter them up and eat them!😂. Or you can add onions celery and chicken broth and milk, makes a great soup!

[@januszlewicki5783]

If you want to feed the birds only during the winter season, remember to do it every day or not at all, the birds quickly get used to a constant source of food in winter and if there is no food one day, they may not survive the cold night. We never feed the birds with bread (bread in any form) and any other salted/seasoned leftovers from the human table, such food for birds is poison.

Please forgive an old man for this question: Would it be worth the effort to take down a half-dozen or so of those straight oak trees, debark them, place some transverse planking on them to make a bridge of sorts over that troublesome watercourse?
