I am 70yrs old and I thought that my taking cold showers in the morning was good but after watching you jump in that cold creek I have to tell you you are now my hero! Someone previously mentioned you have a remarkable story telling ability and I agree! I am eagerly awaiting the publication of your first book!

"If you made it to the end . . ." Are you kidding? I couldn't pull myself away. This was such a nice video--the feeling of normalcy that the routines conveyed was so welcome in a world gone awry. Thank you, Em!!!
Wow! I did not realize you kids were so young. I am glad to see that we still have a new generation of kids that know how to work and do things. It reminds me of my childhood on my grandparents small farm.
Coffee...yes! Your family is a classic example of what Americans and America is at it's best....hard working, law abiding, ambitious with solid moral and family values. Well done all! Wood burner stove...love it. We just got an estimate for one in our home.
That’s a great story. Good work, clearly your team know what it want out of the land and is making it happen and not too stressed about it. That is a life worth living!
I stumbled on your channel yesterday and was blown away by your family, your business and life style. Your content is wholesome and real. we could use more of that these days. Wish i could give more.
Too many whiny ass kids that don't want to do anything but lie and steal for a living. I am amazed at how much work these girls do and how hard they work. They and those like them are our future we leave for our kids. Our grand son was 15 y/o and could not fry and egg or put air in a bike tire. When I tried to help him be a man and grow up he accused me of damaging him. Ole well, he is like his daddy and has no ambition or morals! I could rebuild a car engine when I was 16.
@@mydearriley Also I wonder how they get a pretty professional-looking production. If anyone has done any video editing before, it's a full-time job so this is not something they do for fun. Also, it's no accident that they have their daughters as the main presenters of the vlogs. This to me seems more of a portrayal of the American lifestyle in a nice rosy view. Anyway, I like the channel since it's well done, but nobody should be equating this any more than watching a show. Actual loggers, farmers, etc. don't have time to do youtube vlogging.
Not sure what is "American" about life on a farm, guess it looks pretty similar everywhere at least in the western world (except for the thermometer with Fahrenheit 😂)
Kudos Em, this was fun and you made my feet and every bone in my 67 yr old body hurt watching you walk through the snow, on gravel roads to soak in the ice water! But really, as always terrific content, I love this channel! 👍👌❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
That was so sweet, and so beautifully done. You have impeccable judgement for subject, composition, narration, connection, music… the whole gamut. Excellent!
I want to thank you young ladies for being so wholesome and so level headed I want to thank your mom and dad for being level headed enough to raise 2 young ladies and yourselves themselves you all inspire us
If all families were like this we’d be in a much better place as a society. I’m sure no one is perfect, but your Love of work and family is wonderful to see.
I JUST started watching your channel. And I honestly appreciate & enjoy watching all the hard work y'all put into the lumber yard, THIS video is something we'd like to see! The "behind the scenes" of daily life. Ii personally enjoyed this! Thanks for showing a bit of life beyond the lumber yard 😁
Hi you guys, when I was married a long time ago my wife and I had our daughter! After a few years wife passed away from a brain anyurism. I raised daughter by myself and she now is successful in life!!! Your dad is awesome! So are you gals! Keep up the good work love and respect to you all ! John Mc
I grew up on a farm....priceless! You have something very special and it's obvious that you have what it takes to get things done. Keep your focus and remember that money isn't the most important thing in life.
I appreciate the simplicity and way your mom has created a feminine artsy home for you girls amongst all the manual physical labor work that you do each day.
You are a shining example for the young people of today. By keeping the customs and ways of your parent’s family past and incorporating a strong work and faith ethic you are showing young people the best way to live! God bless you!
I lived upstate NY and my grandfather grew everything, so you certainly can. He grew, strawberries, raspberries, asperagus, beets, carrots, swiss chard, lettuce, corn, lots of tomatoes, string beans, butternut squash, peppers, and more. He also raised and bred chickens, which he won prizes for. He sold eggs and chicken meat. He took a lot of the vegetables to a cannery, which took a portion of what he brought as payment. That was part of my childhood in the 1950's, By the way. I saw a guy on UA-cam who grew truffles commercially, which are very valuable. Decomposing tree bark would be perfect for that.
Nice to see your lifestyle behind your work. Our kids are at home too - due to a Corona shut down of the public buildings. God bless you and greetings from the mountains of Austria
Just found your channel - what hard workers you all are ! What a beautiful lifestyle… love watching the mill work - and can appreciate all the expertise it takes to operate that equipment and make those cuts ! Cheers for making such great videos to watch !! We know it’s a lot of work ! Thank you !
У вас замечательная и дружная семья. Все трудятся, помогают друг другу. Очень уважаю людей которые способны своим руками заработать себе на достойную жизнь.
What a wonderful life. I love watching videos where people actually work as a family. It would be great if the rest of America could return to valuing family like we used to. This family restores my hope that we still have hope.
As a city man I'm so jealous that you guys get to live out in nature without millions of people surrounding you. People are a$$holes when there's too many of them around. I want to live out in the countryside like you folks do!
I'm 11 months late but loved it. At 74 not as active but the outdoors and work is what keeps me going. Love watching your family work together. God is Good.
Thank you for bringing us inside youre family life. I wish I was in an area like you're family has I bet it's quite and peaceful 😌🙂 thank you again love the content. If you guys ever need help let me know. Always willing to learn new things. Been cutting wood since I was 6 years old with my dad so very experienced
What an amazing insight into how people live and work in the depth of the forest. And your cat is just like my cat! She even rolls on her back like my cat (Misty) does.
Can't say I've ever voluntarily gotten into 36 degree water, but have gotten there a few times from thin ice on our creek. I normally cut out the morning dip about the time the leaves fall and don't start again until mid April. With less than 2 percent of the US relying on wood heat, it is always nice to see others using this low cost carbon neutral fuel.
Adorable video! I started viewing your channel for the quarter log cut because I am in the forestry thing in Peru, but this one is so, so tender and warm. Now I want to have one of your quesadillas!
I love the greenhouse idea, someday I'll build one like yours, the cold water therapy, not so much, I'd probably pass out and drown🥶😂. I ordered another woodmizer sawmill in March, and finally will get it in a couple weeks, just in time for Christmas, God bless you and your family, great videos.👍
Alot more like these please guy's and girls 🙏 Seeing all the sawmills stuff is great and all and super informative but also a few little videos here and there about general everyday stuff going on is a awesome idea to mix up the content a bit.. Like for instance I dint know you guys have chicken! You have any other farm animals aswell..?
What lovely chickens. You may have to deal with harsh winters, but it is definitely God's country there. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. Soon to be a million!

Manners and work ethics and especially homeschooling so you don't get brainwashed. Props to your family. Thanks for sharing and very well done.
Love the look into your life. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you Maybe make a video explaining the different terms you use in logging like swamper, sawyer, etc
Ok, I discovered you guys yesterday. 5th video and I looked at FB page. One video talked about a flood. Mentioned mom, dad, brother and 2 daughters. Picture on FB page I think said dad, 2 sons and 3 daughters. Nothing about mom? How old is the BOSS? Why would you get into water that is 36 degrees? Madness young lady!! Are you home schooled? I LOVE that a teen was reading scripture!! Needs to be more of that in the world today
She is one incredible young woman her focus is her fortress a foundation of grace and humour such is her passion for life future family and pets such an amazing dominion personality
That greenhouse reminds me of English Regacy era Orangeries. It's too cold in England for citrus to grow well, especially in the cold of the big freeze when they used to be able to stage sleigh races and rides on the frozen river Thames in the middle of London. They'd have a dugout at one end of the Orangerie with a fireplace, the chimney flue would run under the raised bed of the interior garden and up the far wall. So the soil stayed warm.
Glimpses into other people’s lives are always a great way to see what makes you tick and compare with our way of life too. You are way braver than me with regards to the cold water, I have to say. True grit girl! Impressive.🤪🥶 Keep up the good work and enjoy your life. It is progressing in the right direction.💕
Nice to have a greenhouse,we made a huge water furnace,fire box is 42” and water jacket is 48” in diameter,a little pump circulates the hot water underground to the house and garage burning green,frozen,rotten wood which have lots of,you could heat the soil in the greenhouse by running a loop of pipe from stove into the bottom of the box you plant in.The stove didnt cost much to make as we got the pipes from a natural gas plant free,and you have lots of slabs and cutoffs to burn in it,the price of electricity and gas for heat is climbing steadily while ours is very cheap,I used to log for income so getting wood is no problem,I see your cat likes it’s tummy rubs too.
Thanks for the insight. I wondered what your lives were like beyond the posts. I figured they probably have chickens... God bless you and yours now and forever. Amen
you kids are all home schooled which is really great. Home school shows to me how much your mom and dad love you kids. I live in Minnesota and we home schooled our kids and they have gone on to be very successful in life. We always burned wood from the local mill. I try to look at your videos always.
Wonderful!! We homeschooled our 4 children including reading the Bible every day. We also raised chickens and had a cat that looked exactly like yours, and heated our house with wood. Our children also worked in the family business, and still do even though they are 19 to 24 years old now.
I watched your "what do we do with our slab wood" video and I wish I lived closer. This fall I burned 4 bundles of mixed soft and hardwood slab wood which was about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 full cords total. It was well seasoned (11%-15% moisture) and burned fast but that was just what I needed for what they call the "shoulder seasons" of fall and spring where it's not cold enough for 24 hour burning but taking the chill out of the house in the morning feels great. At $15 a trailer load it's a great deal. I like your videos and always am amazed at the entire family working hard together to keep a business going. Best wishes for success.
Thank you for your family's life. Your wee bro is supposed to be weird that is what little brothers are good for. As he ages I can see him being protective over his elder sisters. As to your video today. Simply Beautiful
The stretching also helps you reduce your chance of injury. You all have very physical jobs on the yard. I need to start doing that when I hit the woods.
Just found your channel, I like it, many parallels to our family. Loved the morning devotions and morning dip. Can't do the morning dip here in Vt everything is frozen in, but we do try and get the morning devotions in.
Please share with us your home made quesadilla recipe! They look delicious. Also...with your cold water therapy, try to submerge your heart into the water for maximum effect. You guys are awesome.
Kitty was ready for some treats. I love these videos. My favorite channel. Such Wholesome and Godly living. May God bless your family. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤️
Wise young woman starting the day in the word of God. She will bless some young man as a Proverbs 31 wife some day. I was not one bit surprised to see that in the video as I have sensed something about you guys and if it isn't all of you than the rest are sanctified by the believer or believers.God bless you all. Thank you for sharing your routine. Anyone for coffee?
This is only my second video I’ve seen from you. The first was a very educational description of the properties of Poplar and of the hardness values of different tree species. Fantastic! The only other is of course this one where you your siblings and Piers show an almost extinct and forgotten work ethic. You are bound for an incredible and successful life! Please never forget where and who was there at the beginning. Thank you for sharing. Jim.
Hiya Emerald, thank you for this glimpse into your lives. I loved your dad's mug, but only half full? I hope you graduate okay along with Jade. I know a bit how your cockerel feels, I'm 6'4" myself. What a great bundle of fur showing you the way home. Nice ring, I'm looking forward to working with turquoise myself as I train to be a goldsmith/jeweller. 35 deg in the stream, I'll leave that one to you, who was in with you filming? I need heat too much to enjoy a dip like that, but then I've a lot of arthritis and the cold does mean more pain, the joy of growing older. Honer your grandad while you have him, both of mine passed many years ago, and my dad back in March. Stay safe, Steve...
We have a box stove that is advertised as a supplemental furnace. We've been using for at least ten year. It will take an 18"x 8"log without a problem. What makes it so great is has blower that sucks in air from the back and blows it around the fire box. The warm/hot air comes out of an opening in the top of the stove. By adjusting the draft we can regulate the temp. of the house. We have ours in the basement and it puts out enough heat to keep the house at around 73F. with an out side temp of 20F. If you have a forced hot air system you can connect the stove to that system. The dip in the stream gave me a chill. I've been through ice a few times. The first was when I was about six or seven. I even managed to get myself out. Thank you for the video.
Your living the good life for sure. Had a chuckle when you paused before the dip into the water, not at you but at the memories it invoked of swimming in the English Channel.
I'm glad you keep busy. I recommend making a dozen tortillas and sending them to me and a couple other subs. I know you wouldn't lie, but I'll verify they are the best for your other viewers! 👍 Add a little chicken and cheese, and I guarantee a five star review. 😂 Good luck! 👍
Home made tortillas are the only way to go. The flavor, the texture... that's where it is at. I suppose they could be better for you too since there are no preservatives.
Loved this video! Two things: 1: I bet you could dig a “plunge pool” in the creek so you can get into the water easier. 2: please share your tortilla recipe!
Would love to see more of this type of material. Thinking of you possibly putting out a book of fashion, gardening,Yoga nature etc. Young people could relate and the rest of the world could see a young person with interests and a sense of direction. Keep up the hard work!
John boy Walton vibes with the lifestyle, and narration. You know people live all kinds of different lives but it’s nice to see things like this to put that into perspective.

It does my heart good to watch these videos with this family of beautiful young ladies.
Their father must be very proud.
Nice to have a greenhouse,we made a huge water furnace,fire box is 42” and water jacket is 48” in diameter,a little pump circulates the hot water underground to the house and garage burning green,frozen,rotten wood which have lots of,you could heat the soil in the greenhouse by running a loop of pipe from stove into the bottom of the box you plant in.The stove didnt cost much to make as we got the pipes from a natural gas plant free,and you have lots of slabs and cutoffs to burn in it,the price of electricity and gas for heat is climbing steadily while ours is very cheap,I used to log for income so getting wood is no problem,I see your cat likes it’s tummy rubs too.
Beautiful chickens! I like seeing g the mixed breeds.
You guys work hard i like your dedication to work an family.itwould be nice to see that more young people would be more like you an your family.
Thanks for the insight. I wondered what your lives were like beyond the posts. I figured they probably have chickens... God bless you and yours now and forever. Amen
you kids are all home schooled which is really great. Home school shows to me how much your mom and dad love you kids. I live in Minnesota and we home schooled our kids and they have gone on to be very successful in life. We always burned wood from the local mill. I try to look at your videos always.
Wonderful!! We homeschooled our 4 children including reading the Bible every day. We also raised chickens and had a cat that looked exactly like yours, and heated our house with wood. Our children also worked in the family business, and still do even though they are 19 to 24 years old now.
By the way, without knowing anything about you other than how you act and work, I had a really strong suspicion you were homeschooled and Christian.
@@MrRespecTech kids like these are few and far between in government schools.
Thank you for sharing the glimpse into your & your family's life! BTW. It's really tough to take a bath it that freezy cold water! Respect!
we know who's the real country girl. You handled walking on that gravel like it nothing
I watched your "what do we do with our slab wood" video and I wish I lived closer. This fall I burned 4 bundles of mixed soft and hardwood slab wood which was about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 full cords total. It was well seasoned (11%-15% moisture) and burned fast but that was just what I needed for what they call the "shoulder seasons" of fall and spring where it's not cold enough for 24 hour burning but taking the chill out of the house in the morning feels great. At $15 a trailer load it's a great deal. I like your videos and always am amazed at the entire family working hard together to keep a business going. Best wishes for success.
In that woodland setting, Emerald reminds me of George Waterhouse pre-Raphaelite paintings. Exquisite.
Thank you for your family's life. Your wee bro is supposed to be weird that is what little brothers are good for. As he ages I can see him being protective over his elder sisters. As to your video today. Simply Beautiful
Jade reading the Bible in the morning is inspiring. Praise the Lord!
Fanatic.
The stretching also helps you reduce your chance of injury. You all have very physical jobs on the yard. I need to start doing that when I hit the woods.
Just found your channel, I like it, many parallels to our family. Loved the morning devotions and morning dip. Can't do the morning dip here in Vt everything is frozen in, but we do try and get the morning devotions in.
Thanks X3 for sharing your video.... don't forget to leave one egg so that the hens come back to lay more as this increases egg laying.
That cat hasn’t missed a meal🤣
Please share with us your home made quesadilla recipe! They look delicious. Also...with your cold water therapy, try to submerge your heart into the water for maximum effect. You guys are awesome.
Yes please. I need this quesadila recipe!
Kitty was ready for some treats. I love these videos. My favorite channel. Such Wholesome and Godly living. May God bless your family. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤️
Oh my goodness!
You have some guts going into that river, therapeutic or not!
Much respect!
as a fellow 'notoriously grumpy person in the morning' I am with Jade. Quiet cup of coffee and the Bible is a good way to start the day!
Wise young woman starting the day in the word of God. She will bless some young man as a Proverbs 31 wife some day. I was not one bit surprised to see that in the video as I have sensed something about you guys and if it isn't all of you than the rest are sanctified by the believer or believers.God bless you all. Thank you for sharing your routine. Anyone for coffee?
This is only my second video I’ve seen from you. The first was a very educational description of the properties of Poplar and of the hardness values of different tree species. Fantastic! The only other is of course this one where you your siblings and Piers show an almost extinct and forgotten work ethic. You are bound for an incredible and successful life! Please never forget where and who was there at the beginning.
Thank you for sharing.
Jim.
Liked and subscribed! Your family rocks! Homeschooling and self reliance are nice to see nowadays!
Hiya Emerald, thank you for this glimpse into your lives. I loved your dad's mug, but only half full? I hope you graduate okay along with Jade. I know a bit how your cockerel feels, I'm 6'4" myself. What a great bundle of fur showing you the way home. Nice ring, I'm looking forward to working with turquoise myself as I train to be a goldsmith/jeweller. 35 deg in the stream, I'll leave that one to you, who was in with you filming? I need heat too much to enjoy a dip like that, but then I've a lot of arthritis and the cold does mean more pain, the joy of growing older. Honer your grandad while you have him, both of mine passed many years ago, and my dad back in March.
Stay safe, Steve...
Those tortillas looked absolutely delicious. Would you mind sharing the recipe?
We have a box stove that is advertised as a supplemental furnace. We've been using for at least ten year. It will take an 18"x 8"log without a problem. What makes it so great is has blower that sucks in air from the back and blows it around the fire box. The warm/hot air comes out of an opening in the top of the stove. By adjusting the draft we can regulate the temp. of the house. We have ours in the basement and it puts out enough heat to keep the house at around 73F. with an out side temp of 20F. If you have a forced hot air system you can connect the stove to that system. The dip in the stream gave me a chill. I've been through ice a few times. The first was when I was about six or seven. I even managed to get myself out. Thank you for the video.
Your living the good life for sure.
Had a chuckle when you paused before the dip into the water, not at you but at the memories it invoked of swimming in the English Channel.
I'm glad you keep busy. I recommend making a dozen tortillas and sending them to me and a couple other subs. I know you wouldn't lie, but I'll verify they are the best for your other viewers! 👍
Add a little chicken and cheese, and I guarantee a five star review. 😂 Good luck! 👍
Home made tortillas are the only way to go. The flavor, the texture... that's where it is at. I suppose they could be better for you too since there are no preservatives.
The ones from the store don't have preservatives either.
Amazing Family! 35 degrees.. Beautiful Winter and a Kitty!😻.
Thank you for the documentary, what a wonderful family life.
Loved this video!
Two things:
1: I bet you could dig a “plunge pool” in the creek so you can get into the water easier.
2: please share your tortilla recipe!
Yes, the tortilla recipe would be awesome!
was thinking same thing! i wanna do that lol
We need more young people and family’s like yours.
Love your lifestyle. We are starting to build a homesteader life. Want to be like yours some day
Ahh woodstoves, a great place for some of the chunks from the mill! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Would love to see more of this type of material. Thinking of you possibly putting out a book of fashion, gardening,Yoga nature etc. Young people could relate and the rest of the world could see a young person with interests and a sense of direction. Keep up the hard work!
For all who are not biologists, THAT is a real woman!!!
You're a disgusting human being.
You got that right
sINce SHe dO mAn WorK tHaT mAKe Her Man! gEndEr iS A sOcIaL CoNsTrUct!
Why because she promotes mexican food like everyone else. Yuck
Thank is a girl precisely speaking…
John boy Walton vibes with the lifestyle, and narration. You know people live all kinds of different lives but it’s nice to see things like this to put that into perspective.
Those quesadilla's are yummy looking! Can you post your tortilla recipe?
