The Great Adventure Begins
The Great Adventure is not a new idea. Ain't no wild hare run up my butt. It's something that Shirli and I spent years dreaming of and planning toward. The sad exception to the plan is that I'm making it solo now that Shirli is no longer physically in this world.
In part, it is a memorial run in honor of Shirli. In part, it's just for me ... not to discover myself [I know full-well who I am.] but to sever some stressors that are pulling me apart and reclaim myself.

I did this "live" on Facebook this morning. It's been a long, long time since I've had a pick between my fingers and my vocal chords are way out of shape. I'm knocking the rust off these strings and stretching my vocal chords. Yep. There's no time like the present to get back at it where playing guitar and singing songs is concerned. Original music.

Kentucky Woodsmen Spring Gathering 2021

CANWAY Stove And A Horse Camp Surprise

Our weekend camping trip to Coleman Lake was met with an interesting twist that we did not plan on. The horse camp only added to the adventure!

      One suggestion for your stove set up. Those green propane bottles can get mighty expensive. I know a 20# bottle can take up room, but, it way more economical. See if you can figure out a system or spot to safely store a 20# and invest in a hose and adapter. Around these parts, it's pretty easy and affordable to exchange tanks out.

    Greetings David, from Jackson, Mississippi. Guess us Southern guys have a lot in common! I too trap on my 20 acre homestead and do also eat some of the raccoons I trap. My trapping is mostly for predator control so the extra meat is just a side benefit. Like you I prefer to par-boil and grill my raccoons. Some of your viewers may want to check out a short video I posted on my channel several years ago about grilling raccoons. It may take a few times to cultivate a taste for raccoon, as some people just don't like dark meat animals or enjoy anything that is greasy. But grilling raccoon make it more like grilled pork ribs. Greasy ribs never seems to bother anyone! I find that raccoon meat benefits from a very generous amount of pepper. Don't be afraid to use plenty. Finally, here's a tip for your trapping. Raccoons eat ANYTHING they find. So I use any unused portions of the raccoon carcass as bait in my traps. Raccoons have no qualms about eating one of their own kind. Letting the meat get a slight bit stale and tainted gives it an odor that really pulls the raccoons into a trap set. Nice video. Thanks for sharing it.

    People would be very surprised what you can do with a 11,000 pound (tensile strength) bull rope, 6ft of chain, snatch block(s), one pry bar, and a truck. Up here in the Rockies we start gathering standing dead Pine Firewood at 9,400 ft elevation in Boulder County, CO. . No mosquitoes!! We start in August when the temps are at comfy air conditioning levels like 68 degrees or lower. In heavily Wooded alpine forests. When we first started without snatch blocks and had to go tree to tree on incline and often had to run up the mountain to switch trees to get a straight run down to the road. Firewood gathering up here is an essential part of life here. It’s survival at its finest. We love doing it. Two men, one to maneuver through the forest one to pull it with the F150. We have a 10,000 lb Warn Winch on the Front of this truck but it’s SLOW. We only use that winch when pulling very large logs UPhill. We use minimal gear and has worked for us the last 11 years. Some may call it log skidding. What we’re essentially doing is a homemade trader system. I highly recommend this life. Great video sir. Much appreciated.

    thanks for sharing. On our 5 acre property I do have a fair amount of trees that I remove. Even if I mill the logs in place, the end result is having a heavy piece to move to the drying rack. As I move pieces that are typically 12 feet long, rolling becomes impractical as I don't have a wide area to roll. I do use a mechanical assist in the form of a log arch which works extremely well and I can hand pull even across uneven terrain. thanks again. stay healthy, stay safe

    If you tied the ends of the rope together, you'd have a continuous loop and wouldn't need to stand on the rope and the rope could be much shorter.
