    I always love how safe Lou is. Freya is so well trained but her still chained her up before starting that saw. Brilliant!
    Safety can sometimes be tedious, but as the saying goes, you always rather be safe than sorry.

    Way to solve your firewood problem Lou. Very clever and effective! I have an xl Kindling Cracker like yours. It makes splitting wood for kindling a breeze. Addictive! Love it and the fact that a 14yo girl in New Zealand invented it. Plus its beautiful.

    Lou’s storytelling is done so well, that everyone feels the win at the end of the build. 🙌 Plus the video editing is always on point and is so peaceful and easy to watch. 😌❤ It feels like just yesterday you all were fixing up the sail boat, or in Hawaii waiting on Max.

    Just a thought, you want to have some air flow around the wood in the box for it to finish drying out inside. You may want to drill some large holes in the box so there is some air flow. Even "dry" wood brought inside often has some moisture it has reabsorbed from a damp, outside air.

    I started using the Stihl carbide chainsaw chains last year and love them. I haven't sharpened a chain since. I cut down and up over 100 trees with my first chain before I replaced it. I am now on my second carbide chain and have cut down and up 60+ trees with it and it throws chips as good as it did on day 1 still. I don't miss my chain file for a second and will never return to a standard chain.

    • @WildWeRoam

      @@WildWeRoam the only downside is that sharpening it is almost impossible. It requires a diamond grinding wheel. Some hardware stores will sharpen them, most won't. Hitting a nail embedded in the tree could stop your day without a backup chain.

    Wow. I was not expecting to tear up from a UA-cam video…but that scene when you, Dana, and Max were all sledding got to me. What a great dream you guys are building. It is so cool to see you both working so hard at this, and also to see the setbacks and challenges you face and get past. I know for myself and others this is a dream I’d like to pursue someday, and it honestly fills my cup just you witness your journey. Thanks for sharing.

    I wonder if you can use the chainsaw to cut each piece in 3 or more using your jig, so that is already small enough to use in the wood stove and skip the splitting with the ax?

    Instead of getting little wood stoves for each of the other containers, would it make any sense for yall to get one more longer container to connect the three (in the shape of a W)? It seems like it would also be handy to have a bit more living space, especially if you'll be staying in the containers for a few years or more.

    Whenever I see someone with a chainsaw it reminds me of an old Health & Safety video "Ivan and his chainsaw", it's quite gory from what I can remember but still also you can't help but laugh when you watch it.

    Wood burning stove like that is why using an axe to chop down wood is better because you end up with pieces small enough to be considered kindling.
