Widowmaker- Ep41- Outsider Log Cabin

[@kengraham2953]

My wife and I have been watching your episodes for several weeks now. We started from the beginning and are now on episode 41. I love what your're doing, but I love all the more that you and your dad are Christ followers. I can see your dad's patient character though he rarely speaks. I can also see your strengths as a young leader and man of vision. James 1:2,3 is a good explanation of what is going on in your endeavor. Thanks for your testimony in both words and deeds.

[@bobobrien8968]

I really enjoy your videos. I am 68 and as a kid I had 2 friends whose dads had tractors and I would sometimes get to help out and drive one of those tractors that were probable as old as yours. I also drove one while working for an orchard. One thing though. I cringe when I see you pulling logs or that giant boulder from the rear. One of those dear friends of mine was trying to pull out an apple tree stump going forwards. The tractor reared up over him and took his life. He was not quite 30. We grieved for years. I know it was a stupid mistake. Perhaps he accidentally gunned it or his foot slipped off the clutch. But I watch you and wish I was out there. Nothing like working out in the woods. Mans Work!!

[@monabale8263]

making the forest a safer place to be, one widowmaker at a time. u guys are awesome.

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

Glad you guys were safe! Showing the weak spots and how you safely removed the threat made for excellent content.

[@keiboman]

The words you choose for your narrations indicate to me that you are a reader of good books. I love your videos, thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@robertdewey6084]

I've been a faithful watcher of your videos, but don't believe I've ever made a comment, so it's time I did. Simply put; I want to thank you and your dad. It's enjoyable to see you both working together in the woods with a common goal. I don't have that opportunity due to cancer taking my dad almost 12 years ago. Keep posting videos and I'll gladly keep watching them!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you for your heart-warming comment, and for following along with us so faithfully. Sorry to hear about your dad. Life can seem far too short when it comes to those who are most precious to us.

[@5-minute-witness356]

Thank you for showing us these indirect challenges of keeping a homestead property. A lot of channels skip things like this over. But a city kid like me wants to learn the whole story. I don't have relatives who will be teaching me these things.

[@DaleMoore-je1sn]

I love your videos and I’ve watched some more than once. I like that you’re a Christian who acknowledges your faith at the end of each episode. You’re a really good carpenter and you’ve done so much to complete the cabin in the face of a lot of adversity. Thanks!

[@greigotee8585]

Thanks for sharing this build with us I live in Australia and the trees down here are incredibly hard and heavy you would need several men and cranes to do what you are doing in this country . Its great to see how things are done in other parts of the world.

[@1956jensen]

... and we love every minute you and your dad share your work with me/us. Thanks, my friend.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks Allan! Much appreciated.

[@fieldagent59isintheforest32]

like many other guys here..... these videos remind me of what it was like to work with my dad on projects around the yard and in the forest. He past away about 6 years ago at 83........ makes me love him even more, and brings tears to my eyes watching this....

[@glg3945]

So love your videos! Glad you both were safe got the dead trees down with no problems. Peace and good fortune!

[@rodad8336]

Lol. I like how you call your dad senior outsider. Very funny.

[@lukuscarter3563]

Awesome video bro. Just amazing to see men enjoy working in the woods together. You seem to naturally portray that and capture it as well. Well done sir.

[@ken0272]

I remember my Grandfather and uncles taking down trees like this with one of those two man cross cut saws

[@RickBarkergoldclaimmaps]

Thank you again for sharing. Can't wait to see the cabin come together. God bless...

[@brianyoung9014]

Love your skid box.

[@dancindymolick1067]

I find your videos very informational and some of the best enjoy everyday you get with your father

[@davidriley8590]

I don't often comment but I envy your life working in the forest every time you spend time there you get such a lot of work done, you work well with your dad and I can see you keep a watchful eye on him as he does is best well done young man, your dad has brought you up well you make a good team, may the good Lord watch over you and your family happy new year from UK.

[@tsuchang1]

Thanks. Once again I say, I really enjoy your videos.

[@mountainviews5025]

Great video senior and junior outsider and thanks for taking care of the granddad cause we all know that if it wasn't for our granddads we all wouldn't be here

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

lol No truer words have ever been spoken.

[@David-rx2to]

Wow. What a beautiful father/son project, and I don't mean just this episode...the whole campaign. I admire the work you and your father are doing although it makes me jealous and sad because I wish my Dad was still around so we could do something like this. Great to hear your grandfather is still with you, he must be very proud of what you are doing. Wonderful life lessons for all of us. Don't put off your dreams because one day you might find yourself too old and your parents unable to share your journey.

[@Brandon-so9fp]

These video journals makes me miss my dad. Enjoy the time you have with him, as it will sadly come to an end.

[@scuzzbecuzz]

Love to see you working with your dad!!

[@kennethgibbons2487]

I love watching your videos - seems sometimes that there are long gaps between them. Fascinating story - you really work your dad pretty hard but he seems to enjoy working with you. I especially like the way you acknowledge your Lord and Saviour. I always look forward to your updates - I'm 69 and sometimes wish I was younger to do the stuff you are doing. Best wishes.

[@gabelanger]

Thanks for the video always enjoy them

[@dougwebb2996]

nice to see you back again

[@dylanmcdonald1915]

I’m 13 and and I’m a big fan I Love your channel! me and my family live in the woods and I’m homeschooled here in Newfoundland. Also I love your log cabin and your tractor 😀

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Hey Dylan! So glad to hear that you're enjoying my channel. I bet Newfoundland must be a great place for living in the wilderness. All the best!

[@alanengland14]

I’ve noticed that anything The Outsider and Senior do is done slow and steady. There’s no rush to complete a task, which could cause problems. Yes, they have a deadline that’s weather-related, but nothing instituted by sponsors. I eagerly await episodes of the cabin built on a budget. And, I echo what others have said about how relaxing and calming they are. My wife now watches the videos, and it’s unusual for her to be interested in the same thing as me. We keep The Outsider family in our thoughts and prayers.

[@TheAmanla]

I enjoy the safety and care that *YOU* both work w/. Oh and GrandFather, such a family, and a little one too. Aah ...

[@christianfeider8525]

thats really cute...first they work without chainbreakes on their saw and in jeans,then finally son takes on a safety trouser,but daddy is still in jeans and NOW they wear hard hats...really,they work safe finally :)

[@cjaracz2757]

I so enjoy watching you and your Dad working together! Warms my heart. What wonderful memories you share!

[@kevimc]

I love being in the bush; I love my chainsaw and really enjoy cutting firewood and clearing roads on my property; you are blessed to have your dad to share your time with; you will always have these memories and your grandchildren can look at these videos and see what a great man he was

[@jimrerko3415]

You've got the nicest video's. Really enjoy them. Reminders me of my dad and I doing that together. Before he passed away.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you Jim. I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing, but am glad you were able to share some rich life experiences with him while he lived.

[@dawsonshepard2595]

Keep up the good work brother

[@bigmurr725]

Great video Brother . How lucky You are to be able to work with Your Dad . God blee You both and Your family .

[@HaroldMalaby]

You are blessed for these times with family. Keep making memories.

[@joeschatz6617]

I appreciate and thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thank you.

[@JonHammond81]

Thank you for the inspiration, and for your dedication in producing something of such integrity.

[@tired1911]

Yes, Thank you for the inspiration. We get to live vicariously through your videos.

[@chamilton9182]

Another great video. I love your footage. The videography is amazing. I know it's very time consuming but I'm blessed by you sharing it with me.... with US. I get a kick out of your dad on the tractor. It looks like he is really enjoying all of it. He's like santa on a red tractor sleigh. What a blessing to be doing this together. Can't wait to see the progress on the cabin.... in your time. Thanks for being safe out there. God Bless you and your family.

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

LOL .. and now I have a mental picture of Santa Claus racing between the chimneys on Christmas Eve, on a Red Massey Ferguson. Meanwhile the reindeer are chilling to Netflix back home, "Easiest Christmas .. ever!" :D

[@eddiep5676]

Great as always. Thanks!

[@sgibbons77]

Thanks for doing these videos - you don't have to share your work with me, so it is a privilege that I very much enjoy you giving to me. Thank you!

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Glad you recognized that widowmaker's dangerous potential. One of those killed a firefighter here in California not long ago.

[@davemyette5236]

Glad to see that you've found your hardhats

[@tint661]

Love your videos. I used to live in the country and work every year cutting and processing firewood. I think that work and other work that I had to do kept me in some kind of physical shape. I moved to the city 19 years ago. Now I huff and puff at simple tasks of walking up a couple of flights of steps. As far a widow makers......someone dies every year in the woods hunting or cutting firewood from trees such as the ones in this video. The threat is real. May you and your dad stay safe while your in the woods.

[@coryboyd7958]

LOL! Never fails, your camera always gets beat up. Great commentary, you sure can tell a story. Can't wait for the next one. Thank you.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

lol It wouldn't be an Outsider episode if I didn't put the camera in some sort of peril before the episode was through. ...Thank you for the encouragement!

[@coryboyd7958]

@@TheOutsiderCabin Great response! You need to start writing children's audio books! What do you do for your day job if you don't mind me asking? Have a spirit filled Sunday.

[@jerseyboy8744]

You and your dad are hard workers, continued good luck.

[@glenngoodale1709]

Cool video, thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks again Glenn! God bless you and yours as well.

[@stephiefultz]

Thanks for sharing 😁

[@kingdes32]

another great vid, regards from Ireland

[@juwright1949]

Excellent! Thank you for taking us with you. Lot's of good advice when working around "problem" trees.

[@HyperJoe]

That Tractor is the Kingpin of this Voyage, that and some good ol' common sense, which I'm sure would be from Grandfathers knowledge..he's probably memorized this whole Project already....Nice Build! :D

[@jamieminton5534]

I came across your channel a couple of days ago and have been, "sort of", binge watching. I have to say that the videography and narration are excellent. The subject is what drew me, but the content has got me hooked. Can not wait to see the finished cabin. Yet, we all know there is never a finished project. I enjoy learning and teaching bush craft skills and I have been blessed to work in some amazing wilderness areas. Having said that... I am not a "Wilderness Prude". Taking advantage of technology to efficiently accomplish a task/goal can be more eco friendly than the, some times, wasteful practice of a "Misery Whip and a team of ponies". I was particularly impressed with the use of safety equipment (PPE... Chaps, Hard hats, eye protection) and the emphasis on reducing and/or mitigating risks. Hard hats are not just for vengeful squirrels... even though Farmer Ins. HAS covered it. Keep up the good work.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Another great episode! I did not realize you where building the cabin on family land, that just makes this build that much better! Loved hearing the history of your grand dad cutting wood in these same woods that years later you are building your cabin in! Take care, be safe and keep your eye's up when dropping tree's my friend!

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Also shows the generosity of his dad. They are building both memories, and a future at the same time. :)

[@johngodwin7902]

Time well spent

[@attilaelekes5534]

Enjoy your family

[@stephencaine1548]

That tractor is one magnificent piece of machinery!

[@skylinevspec000]

I love your videos so much. thank you for posting them

[@cmc7106]

Great video!! Always great to see you and your dad out in the woods!! Be safe out there!!

[@jerryfrugoli3339]

I’ve been binging on your videos today... Loving everything I see!! Really like you and your dads drive!!!i do wonder (maybe because I’m an engineer), but each time I see you use a leverage tool it is almost always only two legs of a triangle the ground is your third but if you use a third in the same design it could stand on its own, and you the operator could be safely far away..... keeping your hands near a cable wench under thousands of pounds of pressure could be a limb loss in the blink of an eye... just want to see you have your son doing this work some day and you helping him with all your limbs.... and safely, happily, laughingly enjoying your time together.... take care. I hope to see you soon...😎

[@daviewilson_1]

Great update gents , tuned in from Scotland , cant wait to see the next progress , keep safe

[@BraxxJuventa]

Another great video. Thank you for sharing this with us. 👍😁

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! My pleasure.

[@deanbarr5740]

Love the old Massey, these were stout tractors. Hard to beat their power.

[@MrMinimalst]

Dean Barr agreed, that tractor is badass!

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Well … to be fair, it's actually fairly easy to beat their power, just about every tractor does it nowadays. However, it's a nice and compact tractor, that works very well in constrained areas. And if the Massey is well cared for, it will work for years, and years, and years. :) Something which modern tractors are not really designed for. They really need their regular servicing.

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

Wonderful video thank you.

[@rhondacody2038]

Love the videos. Love the cabin. Cant wait to see the progress on the cabin!

[@randycrews3432]

[@benspoliticsandnewsbencook9151]

Dude that is so cool.I love these udates...

[@larrymixer144]

I think I could see a few gun stocks a maybe even some live edge bar stool backs and maple seats. Love your vlogs and keep up the good work. Love that Sassy Massey.

[@Johnny241948]

Even though that maple makes great fire wood I could see so many wood turners start to tear up because of all the spalted bowls that could've been. lol Thanks for sharing

[@punkbloater]

You seem to have good sense on where the tree falls, that camera placement was on the limit. 😁👍🏻

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Yeah, I'm glad my aim was good that day. lol I was definitely taking a risk with the camera though.

Another great video thanks. I can’t wait to see the progress on the cabin.

[@tovaritchboy]

This is such a GREAT site. Really enjoy watching you working in the woods and thinking how lucky you and your family are. Take care and keep up the GREAT work. Managing a great forest of your own is a LOT of work, but DEF well worth it. Till next vid, have a great Thanksgiving long weekend.

Ha ha thanks man. It's good to be back.

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

I'm sure you noticed all the dead limbs of the tree holding the widow maker. I would get a pole saw and try to remove as many of those as possible especially on the trail side. There are probably a lot of other trees along the trail with small widow makers like those that would be good to be removed.

[@jamiemckenzie8516]

We love every minute of it also ❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MidnightAmratha]

That was a true widowmaker

[@Thennix]

Cant wait to see when your cabin is up :)

[@laneburgess1643]

That was a soothing video.

[@Crewsy]

When you are in the bush it is always important to keep your eyes up. Sometimes it isn’t as obvious as this on leaning across your trail but just as deadly 30’ above your head. That maple looks to be partially spalted. You will have some beautiful wood if it shows in the boards you cut. I look forward to the next cabin video.

[@dr4win9f00l]

As a former woodworker it's driving me nuts because I can see alllllll of the gorgeous spalting in your firewood. If you'd put that through the sawmill and sold it off you could have gotten a hell of a lot of money for it lmao

[@greywolfwalking6359]

The journey of a thousand steps , often takes a side path to get there! N your's did! The tractor n the tow arm again back savers n expedited the work load! Again! And Grand dad got some fire wood n you harvested wood for many wonderful projects in the future...plus plus plus, n you both went home in one piece n had the best time, " family time"... A great day in the bush, to be sure! ATB from Florida!

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Yeah, machines can really help with backbreaking work in the forest.

[@CharleswoodSpudzyofficial]

Only one critique. You were cutting the cedar downhill towards you which made the logs role onto your foot. You never know when one of those come back to hurt you. Please be safe! Love your videos

[@cptcosmo]

Maple for cabinets!

[@TheMyeloman]

Looks like that maple had some spalting starting, should make some really beautiful limber.

[@josephallred8633]

I was hoping to get a look at it after he milled it.

[@verteup]

Rot is not spalt.

[@jimmydeen58]

Great Video.. “Total Professional”...

[@SmilingBoB420]

i know this is a very old video. but i wonder if they make hear pro, for loggers like they do for shooters, active protection that allows you to still hear people talk around you, and just dampens certain db (gun shots) but for power tools, etc.

[@Jesus-mc2do]

Great video.

[@richardlumpkin4607]

Nice video! Good to take care of the scary stuff before it can hurt you! Surely could have been bad but you got it in time. Can’t wait to see some cabin building.

[@rualert1602]

You are one smart feller.
