My first experience of acreage living was when I was a child, running around on our property, enjoying the piece and quiet of nature and not having to deal with the hustle and bustle of city living.
We have chosen to move our family to and peaceful serenity of an Acreage out side of the City limits.

Building a portable tiny cabin with “free” wood. Step by step
I built a portable tiny cabin with free lumber. Check out how I built this portable cabin for $100. I salvaged the wood from a 30 year old farm fence made of 2’ x 6’ lumber.
The cabin can be broken down and loaded up in a 4’x8’ft trailer (pulled by an ATV). Set up takes about 30 minutes.
The small stove will keep this cabin incredibly warm thru the winter months.
The cabin can be used for camping, hunting, ice fishing or a play house for the kids.
It was an amazing project that took about 10 hours to complete.
Supplies:
Two 3’x3’ pallets (floor)
40 pieces of 6’ 2x6 salvaged lumber
1” 4x8 sheets of insulation board
And a small camping fire stove purchased from Princess auto.
Two large hinges for the door
This is a great affordable winter camping solution.
Be sure to check out my other acreage/country living hacks.
Subscribe!! Ill be making many more winter camping video’s in this tiny cabin.
Have a great day, Jason.

Firewood processor like a PRO - Range Road
Переглядів 4,8 тис.3 роки тому
Range Road eco pro 300 wood processor. Cutting 1 cord per hour. Amazing machine!!!!
Instead is sweeping, She should be maneuvering the hose, so it’s out of his way! That heavy Water will be enough to melt the snow she is pushing!
Do you mix the salt in or is it delivered that way? We have a steep driveway that gets iced over and everyone tells me salt is not good to use on dirt/gravel driveways? We had 15 tons a bedding sand delivered since I have a sand spreader for my side by side, but the sand freezes solid and it becomes useless - any info appreciated.
I just happened to see your comment. It has been my experience (At least in VT) that if you use too much salt on a Dirt Road/Driveway, it will prevent the road surface from freezing. This means that when you plow, you will dig into the road and depending on temperatures, it will become muddy because you have lowered the freezing point of your surface. I'd say 98% sand/gravel to 2% salt should be fine, but your mileage may vary.
The best time for a cord I’ve seen is 45 minute’s…that’s with perfect size wood and an extra guy loading the table while the other guy cuts……average time is an hour and with bad size wood that’s not straight it can be 75 minutes.
I have the log lift table with the Eco pro….it’s well worth the money it more or less replaces the need for a tractor if you can set up close to your wood pile…..the only beef I have with the log table is that it is heavy and hard to move …i am looking at a way to put it on wheels on it so it can be moved closer to the pile easier.
Nice set-up! I am just using an old 27 ton, standard type splitter. Many of the trees I split have very large diameter trunks and I've never met one that couldn't be processed. The trees are downed and I roll the rounds over to the splitter. The splitter is in the vertical position, so I don't have to lift anything, I just tilt the round onto the splitting base. Are you limited to a particular diameter tree with your set-up? Thanks for the video!
how many tons is the splitter?
You have some serious time in editing and filming. Good stuff.
Thank you for this video. Being interested in this unit, this gives me the best representation of what the experience is like owning and operating this unit. Great video.
Awesome! I think if you attach all the boards with hinges so they fold up would make it even more portable. How long does it take to set up?
carbide chain....400 hours
hi there nice little machine , john
I have the same unit with a table that has a chain feeder to move the logs ahead , the table holds about 20 logs and works great . The split logs land in totes so I never touch the wood until I put them in my wood box in the house.
I'm looking at this same set-up. What made you go with the log lift instead of the table? I am looking at the lift due to storage size. My thinking is place a few 4x4's on the ground to drop logs with the tractor then roll them to the lift (back woods log table).
awesome! how can I find you on Instagram? or Facebook?
What kind of processor is this put their site in if yo u will
It is one of ours. Range Road EcoPro300
Nice . It must get cold and stay cold in winter where you are .
Thanks. Subscribed 🙏
NOT IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PRODUCT
I sell similar here in NZ , they are ok especially the newest units , but sure no as good as the European types, but easy enough to spot problems and cheap to fix and 1/3 the price .
@@chlyon Tajfun is the best for more Professional use . They should sell welding machine included with these chinese ones.
@@tommyturcotte Yes , you are correct the 500 would be awesome , shame it costs a lot of $$ , each serves a purpose , Im actually considering building a clone of the chinese units myself , only mine I would remove the rust before painting it .
Wonder why the log lift wasn't used..........
Seems to be a lot of man handling of wood here dont want that on red oak, need a better way to advance log. Good video thanks for posting......
They make live decks for em.

It is faster than bucking logs and splitting them ,,but amazingly fast ahhh not so much
wood costs 600 dollars a cord where you live?
He's probably talking about full cord, vs face cord. Also a full cord of poplar would give you 60 percent heat of say oak.
Hey great vid. I’ve been looking at one of these. Finally someone on UA-cam cutting poplar. That’s all we have around Saskatoon. How does the processor like trees that aren’t too straight?
Shitty music, popal and pine make shitty firewood...
Have you had any issues with the splitter lift handle bending?
Yea they do that for sure
Is your firewood green when you split it or do you dry the logs out first thanks
Nice video, love firewood the processor .
The biggest draw back I see is having to wrastle the log into the deck,, have a drop down chute like some of the other ones and a bit of a hoist, and you might just have a winner for a small owner operator
Did you buy this because of price compared to say a Canadian or European ba model
Ya the price is right. $8k for the unit. A crowd delivered is about $600, so it’s paid for itself 3 times over.
I have this same unit. I love mine!!! Awesome video.
Ya it’s a beast for such a small machine. I’ve cut about 30 cords with no issues!!!
Alot better than a splitter
About how many cords can 2 guys run through this machine daily do you think?
If you have your logs ready. You can do about a cord an hour. I’ll have another video with the hydraulic lift and infeed in action. You can take in 20’ logs. I’ll also do a timed video so you know exactly how much can be done.
@@jasonr5194 thank you I appreciate it. I have 800 cords of wood to cut and am looking at different processors.
Lock your hitch please.
I like this UA-cam channel!
Great thank you for the feedback! I'm looking forward to making more video's.
You need to talk this is boring.
I'll be making more video's particularly with this machine. Ill explain how it works.
I disagree. Most vids are filled with meaningless jabber. I prefer to see what's going on and draw my own conclusions. Nice rig BTW!
How long have you had the range road
I’ve had it for 4 months. I’ve cut about 25-30 cords with no issues.
Keep up the good work my main man j-dizzy
Thanks leafy!!!!
Love your vids jro pimp dog
Jason I can not wait for your next video.
im looking into buying one of these machines, I run a tree company so the logs are always here... trying to make up my mind, not enough videos of it (other than manufacturer's) and one canadian family lol now you... are you pretty happy with it ? it claims to be an up to 16 inch diameter, but have my doubts... thank you !
I’m doing a detailed video tomorrow. Will have it online within the week.
It's a great machine for the buck entry level love mine.would rather have 1 that cost 3 times as much.fokes in Canada good info vidoes
Love mine awesome machine
Nice set up! Do you have both infeed and log lifter on the same valve control?
yes they are on the same valve. The valve is on the machine and I pair them to the second deck. I recommend subscribing. I have some very detailed videos planned for the coming weeks. I just started the channel, I’ll have some really neat country living hacks coming out soon.
