"If I don't keep doing something, nothing's ever going to get done." Great quote and I'm enjoying your channel. You sir (and family) have gained a sub. Cheers!
Perhaps instead of burning, you could bury the trees in an area you would like to plants something new. I bit like hugelkulture. Just a suggestion.... I always hate to see good carbon go to the wayside... haha...really like your channel.
I have decided that I will cut the usable wood into firewood that I will sell or trade. I also hate wasting potential energy that could heat someones home or be used to barter or sell. Thanks for the suggestion
consider shredding some into a huge pile of wood chips out of the way as you will be happy to have them down between the rows of your garden, they go down into the ground to help replenish the dirt for the following crops after you plant the one side for a couple of years works great!!!
I have watched many of your videos and you constant complain about the road leading to your house being extremely muddy. When I was in the U.S. Army Combat Engineers, we learned to build roads. The single most important factor in Road design is drainage. The road leading to your property is extremely muddy to the point of being impassable is due to poor drainage. The County or Federal govt that you say owns the road should provide culverts to drain the water from the uphill side to past the lower side. Consider asking your neighbors to lobby the road dept to do this. If that fails, consider doing it yourself with the help of your neighbors. You have an excavator and I bet some of your neighbors have other equipment. You will have to buy some used culvert pipe.
Just flipping through some of these early vid's. Did M&T buy their land first or did you? I know you have said in the past how much of a difference it makes having them up there.
If that creek is not far from your home site I see hydro power free water power you could generate. You are a hard worker it was 114 here two days ago.
Heath this video was close to 3 years ago & Man youve lost weight from then till now in Jan 2019. Well at least you look healthier now in 2019 than U looked in this video. I guess all that hard work on the homestead & tireless work on the house has slimmed U up considerably. 👍
I just seen your latest video and I keep thinking of that old cigarette ad: "You've come a long way baby!" I know that I'm showing my age with that comment. lol
hey if you get a couple of barrels you could make some charcoal . also you could make a lime kiln . get on high dig down about 18 to 24 inches circle . lay a 55 gal barrel with both ends cut out on it side towards the wind . then put a layer of wood , coal , limestone . continue this til your abou 5 feet above ground level . now put a 6 or 8 inch stove pipe in center on top . cover everything with dirt . craw in 55 barrel light it . let it go til all the heat gone . this is the real burnt lime the old timers made . it contains wood ashes ,coal ashes , burnt lime . great to build soil up .

Ik I'm 3 years late but I just bought my first home and u feel that comment personally
I started checking out some videos I haven’t seen! You sure look different these days! Healthier I would say!
You lost a lot of weight. I am just skimming through your first videos. 😍 Hard worker!!
I was just thinking the same thing!
In constantly amazed at how good a job goats do for clearing land and how they improve the soil in the process.
Living our dream!
Make it come true! The world needs more people pursuing their own dreams instead of their bosses.

my favorite kind of work when I was younger. so satisfying to see progress happen
ThT stream is certainly swift enough to put a hydro system in for power as well as solar

Nice channel, looks like we are doing the same thing. What general part of the country are you in? Rockies or Appalachian mountains?

Its not on my property.

Since this video, how many times has the county graded the road?
I would bet with it being a fire/wild life trail, it is maintained by U.S. Game and inland fisheries. So it probably gets graded a few times a year.
You are doing an amazing Job
Thank you Katherine!
awesome video great job
Thank you!
How you doing with your health Red?
