Hey Friends,
We moved to this new off-grid property to get into Modern Homesteading in January of 2016.
We are living in rural Maine on 12 acres & have a small farm of chickens, raised beds & in-ground gardens that we are slowly expanding every year. We are in growing zone 4a, so our growing season is short.
We cut & split our own firewood, and our soapstone wood stove is the only heat we have in the cold winters of Maine. Our home is not your traditional off-grid home. It has all the amenities a regular on-grid home has. It's not a Tiny House.
We share how we live off-grid & homestead our way & use our Kubota L2501 Tractor to help make things easier & plow or long road to our home. We love to cook, preserve food, travel a bit & spend time with family.

If i got nonflavor gelatin will that work the same as the knox? Ive been using the butter for brownies and cookies cakes ect but this is my 1st time doing oil and gummies
Yes it should. Knox is just one of the brands I had on hand.
Did that camping 2 weekends ago
Nice!
rewatch
Thanks!
@@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid
I love it 🤗 ~ Kat
Very nice, great story Scott 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
This is good news! Glad to hear it Scott, we hadn’t heard. Thank you for sharing ~ Kat
You bet!
This is great news, Scott. I used to drive by the old Thompson site every day on my way to work. I don't know if Colt is still in business in CT. They were in West Hartford, last I knew. I had the great honor to appraise the old Colt Armory (with the blue dome) back in the early 90's.
That’s pretty cool.
Great story Scott and I’m sure you’ll share more as the company as the company progresses. Take care and it’s good to see you again .
I will. Thanks for stopping by.
Ya ggotta love spray paint and i do appreciate aloormats! Nice and new for future use. Well done, you.
Thank you!
you should talkj more and less chemistry.
So, made some coconut oil infused gummies with ingredients and zero directions. Ended up with separation of jello on bottom with layer of keif oil on top! Ewwww....not the results I was looking for. Very happy for your instructions after watching several others. I popped all the gummies back in a saucepan and added a little lemon juice and sugar. Simmered 10minutes and wisked often as it was "rising" as you say. Kinda like a "bloom". Well, happy to report success! They stayed blended and taste good too!
Awesome!! So great to hear it worked!
But there were original historical pieces that were in lines the Hopkins and Allen under hammers and so called mule eared sidelocks cases both examples of these.
Very true. There’s constant speculation about who made the first “inline” was. Most folks never realize that it was t a new concept.
It may have been good to hit that with the primer/sealer to help slow any rust
On a positive note. They come off, and reinstall very easy, so it’s something that can be looked at from time to time.
Hope yall are doing good. glad to see a new video 🙌
More to come!
Ok! I’m power watching the videos you posted today! ❤ We need a tractor so bad! Scott I like those floor mats!
Yes you do
That's a nice addition to the tractor.
I think so too!
Nice install Scott and those will help in your wet weather for sure. Take care and best wishes to you both.
Thank you and you too!
I added them to mine also. They were kinda of a pain. lol The only thing I was monitoring was I don’t want them trapping water under them and possibly rusting the floor boards.
Good point! Gotta keep an eye on that.
The rubber mats will help with vibration on your feet.
Good! Supposedly it helps with the noise too.
the most important thing to keeping a saw alive is running a sharp chain. a dull chain is the death of a saw and the bar too. learn how to sharpen everyone it just takes practice. and dont run ur saw dull it will burn it up way faster
Good advice! Especially with these smaller saws!
good vid. I ust bought one exactly like it/ First thing ill widen it like you did and fill tires, its tipy as it is and wife and son have no experience. I was a finish tractor operator working with a golf course construction company in the 80s
We’re at over 300hours, with no serious issues.
@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid glad to hear it. I didn't do any research on it so I'm pleased it's gotten your thumbs up
Look up the tingle mfg muzzle loader. Looks just like the scout series.
I’ve seen some of their Hawken, and Kentucky Rifle stuff. Looks very nice.
Thompson is going back in business and moving back to New Hampshire.
I heard that recently. Even saw a video. I REALLY hope they make a go of it. Thompson had some really nice stuff
I always loved the concept of the scout and scout pistol but you're right they showed up on the market they disappeared and I've never actually seen a live one in my life, even trying to find one on the internet you'd think it never existed. I'd still like to find one or see them reintroduce it
Anything is possible now I guess. They did show a Scout pistol in one of their recent videos. The old ones are fairly scarce. I’d been waiting for one to pop up for years. Then, one day I spotted one in the corner of a small gun store. Owner said he’d taken it in trade years ago, and I was probably the first one ever show any interest. They are around, but some folks don’t know what they are.

Great video buddy. Always wanted a scout. Very informative.
If you can find one in serviceable condition, GRAB IT! It’s kind of a guilty pleasure really. It’s not like a CVA, or a Traditions won’t do the same thing. But the Scout is pure fun.
hello, What is best to clean out side of the soap stone? Thank you, Mike
We wipe ours down with a damp rag. At least the soapstone parts. The iron gets a coat of cooking oil.
you can use this as pain relief too right? topical use?
Yes, and it’s been working for us for years.
I had a scout way back when they first came out ,,it would only shoot a rather sloppy 3 foot pattern,after doing everything I could think of I sent it back to tc,,in a week they contacted me and apologized for the rifle and told me to pick out any new rifle I wanted, I got the new tc omega stainless,,,it shoots great and I've had it over 30 years
I heard that they had issues early on, which led to a change in rifling. I haven’t seen it myself, but I have heard of that.
Some SOB broke in my truck in Denver twenty some years ago ! I still miss that gun !
Bummer…. People suck. Dogs are much better.
T/C is back. Bought by Gregg Ritz and some others. Check it out
Good news! A new investor has bought the company and is moving production back to New Hampshire! There are a few videos now on YT.
Thanks for the info! That is good news for sure!
We have had a lot of dragon flies here lately. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I am so glad they are here to eat the mosquitoes

Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy huuuufffffffffffff que hermosura de Rifles
They really are.
Thank you for making this video, it was extremely helpful when I did my service to my L2501DT. You even gave me some tips and tricks I hadn’t thought of.
Glad it helped
Love the accent. At first I thought it was Bostonian, but now it sounds like you’re from Maine. We used to vacation on five islands every year and you sound like the lobster men and the fisherman down at the wharf. Nothing like that good old New England.❤ This is great information and I truly appreciate it, having back pain, etc.. and this is something I can do without fear of everybody getting smoked in the house when I put it in the oven❤❤ Thank you so much.
Yup Mainah for sure! So glad it was helpful information.
Gas lanterns are manterns. Electric is for woman and children strictly.
I have an ms170, I've been cutting at least 8 ton of eucalyptus a year for last 7 years, a lot of dirty wood and charcoal wood from back burning and I cant kill it, only had one new bar in that time. I have a ms251 as well I barely use it as the 170 gets most of the work done first.
Wow! That's a lot of eucalyptus! Sounds like the 170 is doing the trick.
I never understood how someone wanting to get into old school historical firearms would buy an inline, why. They're so simple and accurate out of the box, it's amazing. I'm not some range rat guy, my first shot ever with my Renegade: "bullseye nine O clock", the spotter at the range yells out in front of this small crowd that gathered to watch it.
Took me years before I discovered how fun black powder guns were.
@@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid I want to try flintlocks, about to turn 70yrs. Finding a decent woods is getting hard to do these days.
I am a T/C Hawken owner and won many prizes with it at my muzzle loading club shoots. Inlines became popular when States legislated muzzle loading BP Deer Seasons, but not with traditional shooters like me. They became popular with smokeless shooters who wanted to hunt more deer during that primitive season. The appeal of a inline rifle in the configuration of a modern hunting rifle was too hard to resist, if it meant harvesting one more deer. I knew a guy that bought one, shot it and never cleaned it, since he did not bother to do his homework. He was greedy and lazy. He stuck it in a closet with a fouled bore and ruined the bore. T/C made very good black powder guns and modern smokeless single shot guns. It is a shame they had to go out of business. If they had made AR-15s, they would still be in business today.
@@robertrobert7924 I lucked out. GangerMt took my deposit on a cheaper gun and couldn't deliver on it. I ordered a $199 plains rifle. Ended up with a new Renegade, just beautiful walnut stock, worth twice the plains rifle. They just gave it to me instead, awesome shooter, accurate, great company.
CBGa is great very close to the same.
Спасибо тебе, брат! Мира и добра твоему дому! 🙏
Thank you! To you as well.
Guaranteed you will taste the vinegar. but still amazing taste.
So you store in fridge the day after or once you have closed them up?
Right after I close them up.
I have this exact tractor (mines a 2015 year model). Only difference is mine doesn’t have the quick attach bucket. It gets used on my tree farm and other than changing a battery and maintenance I haven’t had a lick of trouble with it. The torque for such a small tractor is outstanding!
Thank you sir. Looking into getting a kubota that’s why I am here. Don’t know much about tractors and thanks for the info.
Glad to be of help.
News is that the Contender is coming back under new ownership.
Fingers crossed
I have a 261 and a 462. Love em both! To elaborate the 261 is great for most things, but if I have to get through a lot of wood and larger trees, the 462 just eats. With a 28” bar I stand and buck like Billy, and it saves my back. Especially on the larger logs that slow the 261 down a little.
Shop has both models in-stock should I go mtronic or non-mtronic? Same price.
That depends on you. I was in the same situation, and chose the Mtronic. This is far from my first saw, and I know how to adjust a carburetor too, but I guess I was curious. I wouldn’t be afraid of either one. My shop told me that if you do have a problem with the Mtronic, it usually happens pretty quickly, and is covered by warranty. I’ve had zero issues with mine.
Thank you so much for sharing your Technique. In Germany was hamp a very long time illegal. After legalisation we can grow 3 plants. All the knowledge about Oil is been lost. But I am searching for wonderful People like you to reverse that. Bless you Tom Sorry my Englisch isn't so good. Out of Respekt I would comment in Englisch.
We are so glad you found it helpful. Thank you!
