The first channel I've watched with someone using their heads to conquer every day obstacles.A real woodsman you are.Not just a person with a lot of money playing outside.You've got a good head on your shoulders.I enjoy watching your cabin build progress.
Fantastic job, you use your brain, to overcome obstacles. Most people would not have a clue, they are losing their common sense. I really admire your adept thinking. Good day sir, and dont get hurt. It can happen when you are working as hard as you do.
Love your channel. This one though took me back in time. I remember when I was very young on my grandpa's farm he was pulling logs out of the woods with his mules and i was riding on the logs. Thank you for bringing back a memory from my childhood. Can't wait to see your next video.
Some people spend a eternity and never have a relationship like you had and have with your father mother wife and daughter so you are really blessed even though it may not seem like it at this time losing your father 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
lol Believe me, I was holding my breath too! I put in a couple wedges at the end to keep the log from rolling off, but as you can see, the log almost rolled right past them.
When tightening an anchor shackle, you should always loosen it one quarter to one half turn so you can get it off. It may make life easier for you. Let me know what you think. Keep up the great work.
If you put your bottom logs the other way and then drag the logs across the front and drop them. Put a rope with two separated anchor points and the bite looped under the log in the center, attach your line there , up to the pulley and to the tractor. This way you get a mechanical advantage, the log rolls up onto the pile and the triangle configuration rolls it straight. Use your pulley tree as a backstop and trees on either side as anchor points. I have done it this way with just a come-a-long. For dragging your logs use an old car hood at the front, attach the drag chain to the hood hold down. Easier to drag and keeps them cleaner.
I enjoy this work you are doing. Just wished I could help, if i could climb back in time about 40 years. One thing about it, you will enjoy the fruits of you labor. 👍👍👍
Greetings from central Europe. Glad to see You again on work. As last time, I would like to give you only one small tip. It is easier to roll logs than drag them. just make one ending of under-logs sharp to ground and roll the upper logs on them. As they stay on ground, roll cabel around them few times, it will help rolling the log up on very steep climbs. Merry Christmas to whole YOur family, my friend!
I greatly admire your determination in getting the job done, with the resources you have on hand. Much respect for your efforts. Many times in my life, "necessity has been the mother of invention". Good to see that it still has application today. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Dilligence and tenacity pay off. You could have perhaps supported the bottom logs on rocks or dug a furrow beneath them in the middle to minimize ground contact thereby reducing the vulnerable area of contact. Then again the rot will only permeate so far through the wood over a season so sacrificing part of two logs to save the others is a reasonable approach. All in all it's an innovative solution. I like that you have added removal of the axe from the stump at the end. Nice touch.
You should set up a highline, you could move your logs around your lay down area and stack them easier or build a gin pole off your tractor to lift logs
so basically as with all home construction the goal is to build the most for the least cost , I m sure you are always looking for affordable used equipment, I would suggest a excavator or track hoe it would be your portable crane and give you the ability to move things without putting your self at as must risk as you are now, while you got the job done I m guessing much of the time you are alone not a good thing is you were to be trapped by a log. While they are not great at narrow gaps between trees , depending on the size of the unit ,they are capable of removing many things that might get in they way and help you improve access to your build site.
Seriously build a wall jack. they can be used for more than just lifting walls. I built three to raise the wall logs and rafters on my cabin No problem.
Been watching your video's for a while and during this episode you stated that you wanted to get the logs to your camp to get them off the ground couldn't you just get them off the ground when you drop them other then that hope the family is doing well
Try making one or two log dolly where you put the log on the dolly or dollies while you're in the woods then you're tractor pulls the log on the wheels of the dollies you won't get mud on the log. But washing it with the hose works too. The other idea is to make a skid plate so that you roll the log on to the skid tie it down or chain it down whatever fasten it to the skid then slide it out with your tractor and the skid gets muddy not the log.
Lots of ingenuity and good ole application of physics to get this job done. Is a front end loader available for your tractor? I am sure you'd find lots of use for a loader with a bucket and a set of pallet forks. ;-)
Wondering If you already have a floor plan decided on ? Project is taking a long time... any ideas on a time line for various portions of the build ? I'm enjoying the short up date movies
As a matter of fact I do have a floor plan! The next major episode of LCB will be released sometime in January. I'll be going over the floor plan sometime then.
Not to sound like a "Safety Sally" but the cable clamps you have on the cable are on wrong, the saddle portion of the clamps needs to be on the long side of the cable, as the old saying goes," Never saddle a dead horse",

goto pure living for life if you want to find the channel with the longest log timber build... they work at it everyday all day unlike this guy who gets maybe 30 hours a month if that and theyve been at it longer and with better gear and a nicer year round climate

I just bought a 1949 8N tractor going to do the same thing with my firewood logs. Great video thanks.
Fantastic job, you use your brain, to overcome obstacles. Most people would not have a clue, they are losing their common sense.

Good day sir, and dont get hurt. It can happen when you are working as hard as you do.
Fabulously executed shows were there is a will there is a way.

Still amazed of the things you can do on your own. Greetings from Prague.
Nice Job with will back yard Rigging! great to see someone else working smarter not harder
Well done for all that hard work. I held my breath when the first trunk rolled towards the end of the supporting ones! Seasonal greetings from the UK
lol Believe me, I was holding my breath too! I put in a couple wedges at the end to keep the log from rolling off, but as you can see, the log almost rolled right past them.
You could build some kind of skidder using a winch from an old boat trailer. It would probably be very cheap.
always a good time watching. I can appreciate all the hard work and doing it yourself isn't easy.
Awsome oh to be young and full of energy great video keep them coming
This was strangely satisfying.
Use a pickup truck hood from a junk yard as a skid for the front end of the log, which is chained to the hood, which is chained to the tractor.

Very impressive, very clever. Great job 👍👍👍Vinny 🇺🇸
Wow! A lot of work for just one man! But you sure got it done!

Hard work but worth it when you’re finished
Thanks Bruce. My thoughts exactly.
Necessity breeds ingenuity
Nice update, that tractor looks so handy!
Love the videos, nice to watch while sitting next to a fire
Great Video. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you! And a Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
Cool ladder!!
Get this man a tractor with a loader. Has to be a company that could step up and help.
Ha ha yes. Although I embrace the challenges of my situation, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an offer. lol

Thanks for the suggestion. The two bottom logs are pretty far gone anyway. I've counted them as sacrificial.
very cool, I will have to try this when I start my second log cabin I plan to start this spring on my property
If you wrap the cable or strap around the log, it will naturally roll when you pull with the tractor.
♥️ 🧡🧡💛🧡🧡♥️
Informative as always. Pray you and yours have a blessed Christmas and a good winter. Only 80 here in ft Myers Florida today.
Much appreciated Cory! Merry Christmas and God bless.
Love your vids man, Merry Christmas, God bless you nd your family.
Hard work but you got it done, nice job.
Verry good work !
Very nice....
You should set up a highline, you could move your logs around your lay down area and stack them easier or build a gin pole off your tractor to lift logs
You can use the front tires to push dozer style the logs around and save a lot of time!
so basically as with all home construction the goal is to build the most for the least cost , I m sure you are always looking for affordable used equipment, I would suggest a excavator or track hoe it would be your portable crane and give you the ability to move things without putting your self at as must risk as you are now, while you got the job done I m guessing much of the time you are alone not a good thing is you were to be trapped by a log.

If I was doing it I would have done it this way... Or that way... JK that was super cool man great job
lol Your humor is appreciated.
Top Man!!!
Seriously build a wall jack. they can be used for more than just lifting walls. I built three to raise the wall logs and rafters on my cabin No problem.

Question, what are you doing with the popal logs. In this neck of the woods no one uses them.........It would be nice to put them to some good use....
Build another (smaller) rock sled, ramp the log on the end of it and dog it down, now you're only dragging one end in (most) cases.
making progress!
So smart !
Thanks!
What is that A-frame type ladder? Can't find a video on it.
Lots of ingenuity and good ole application of physics to get this job done. Is a front end loader available for your tractor? I am sure you'd find lots of use for a loader with a bucket and a set of pallet forks. ;-)

As a matter of fact I do have a floor plan! The next major episode of LCB will be released sometime in January. I'll be going over the floor plan sometime then.
Have you and your dad discussed tire chains for your tractor? My neighbor had some on his old Massey Ferguson and that thing went everywhere...
sounds like the tractor has a loose valve
you remind me of Hiccup, whom I love.
lol I can see a slight resemblance.
A loader with a grapple would have saved you so much time on this whole project.
How much land are you working on?
lol Agreed!
Were you able to make any progress on the cabin this year? Keep up the good work!
Why not cut square and bevel a couple smaller logs, make a skid out of them?
Looks like mighty heavy logs, when you make videos do some of them not turn out the way you want them?
I was wondering if storing logs in a garage would do any good for seasoning ?
Not to sound like a "Safety Sally" but the cable clamps you have on the cable are on wrong, the saddle portion of the clamps needs to be on the long side of the cable, as the old saying goes," Never saddle a dead horse",
Not at all! You're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
when is episode 10 coming out? i am looking forward to seeing it :D btw Outsider you rock and i love the behind the scenes stuff
+FluffyKing Animation Studios Thanks! I just completed filming for episode 10 today. The episode should be released sometime in January.
The Outsider okay I am looking forward to seeing it

Haha I was wondering why I couldn't understand this comment very well.
A little mud on my log never hurt anything😀😅
You have an amazing voice and speaking cadence for voice audio work. Do you do audio work for a living by chance?
Couldn't you make a log sled to haul he logs on??
Someday, sure!
while watching this ....a monkey and a football came to my mind....
Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see anything on the cabin, how is this a cabin update?
Those logs are going to be used in the construction of the log cabin. This video is but one of the many pieces in the mosiac that is the log cabin.
The Outsider maybe on the next video you can actually show the cabin build and progress.
Whew!
Das a lot o work
I SAW SOMEONE DRAGGING LOGS USING AN OLD CAR HOOD FORA SKID REDUCE PLOWING UP YOUR TRAILS?
👍🇧🇷
i can lift long thic logs like that with my bear hands
Longest... cabin build... ever....
You built yours quicker?
It's the tractor show now...... JK sort of
goto pure living for life if you want to find the channel with the longest log timber build... they work at it everyday all day unlike this guy who gets maybe 30 hours a month if that and theyve been at it longer and with better gear and a nicer year round climate
You should sell some timber and go purchase yourself a decent tractor to work with. One that has a front end 4 way loader.
