Fixing the Road into Bushcamp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The road into my offgrid cabin needed some upgrading! It was in pretty bad shape, very rocky and rutted up from being so wet this spring. Being so rough it takes a really long time to travel it and fixing it up will save me a lot of time and wear on my equipment. So we brought out some machinery and got it done!
Welcome to Traplines and Inlines, this channel focuses on my dog and I on our remote Off the Grid Homestead in Northern Canada. I make videos on off grid homesteading and building, trapping, chickens, mechanical projects, and hunting and fishing.
I went offgrid and started building my cabin over two years ago, while I was still in highschool. Since then I have built many things at the homestead and have had the priviledge of learning many things along the way.
The homestead is designed to be relatively low maintenance and with extremely minimal expenses. All of my electricity comes from solar power, heat from woodstoves, and I haul all my water so I dont have any monthly costs associated with my homestead.
I love the lifestyle, especially because it gives me the absolute freedom to do whatever I please. I plan on continuing to tackle awesome projects and work at building and fixing many more things, and I cant wait to share them with you on the channel.
Thanks for watching!
Always a beauty day when T&I notification pops up!
It’s a pity there aren’t more hard working lads like you in the world.
I was just thinking the same thing. They just don't grow um like they used to.
Been missing your posts my young friend! I'm sure you've been plenty busy with all kinds of activity. That road of yours into Camp will pay back dividends in less wear and tear on you and your vehicles. Looking forward to the log building videos! Best wishes to you.
You’ll be able to build yourself a nice rock fireplace in your next cabin. 👍🏽 🇨🇦keep choochin.
great to hear from ya , no quit in you young man
You are one amazing dude! I enjoy your videos. Your folks should be proud of you!
Wow! Looks like this part of Wisconsin with all that rock. Unfortunately there’ll probably be half as many rocks pushed up next year after the frost. Enjoyed the video.
Road work is a thankless job unless it makes your life easier!
Sending peace and love your way sir again. Bless your heart...your lower back will be sore in the morning. Your road with all them rocks reminds me of trying to garden here in East Tennessee. Rich ground but rocky as hell! I swear I believe they mate over the winter and make more. :)
Enjoy your videos young man keep it up built my off grid camp when I was 66 years old waited to fucking long. Haha
Damn, that's the hard way of getting your rocks off...lol Glad to see ya still hanging in there, getting ready for trapping season again? Love what you're doing
LOL. This mess is far too relatable at our off grid place in Manitoba. Mile long driveway of similar soil type. Wet as all hell though this year and I still haven't been able to get in with a vehicle since the ground thawed. Every time she's close to passable the rain lets loose again. ATV in and out is the only way anything comes in. From groceries to cattle, it gets in by ATV. Sweet tractor you've got to pull those boulders out! Box blade would be your best friend if you can get your hands on one once you get enough rock out of there. Glad to find your channel. Cheers
Great road maintenance job! Here’s hoping the smoother road makes your trip into camp a bit faster now and maybe fewer ball-joints on the 12-Valve to replace. Be safe my friend.
I feel ya bud! I have been picken rocks on my property for 5 years now, kinda farm rocks, the more you till or level or clear the more rocks come up.
Dude your a machine! Take care of your back ,you need it for a long time yet!
I've been around for a minute or two and I don't believe I have ever seen a young man work as hard this one does. And he seems quite fearless to boot!
Dude. Backed that thing right up to the grater.... If I backed it up I'd end up in europe
can you lift the front axle of the disc harrow? so you can build a road base instead of pushing out all the material on the roadside which will only prevent the water from draining away from the road body.
Greetings from Sweden
We have a lot of great cabins here in Kentucky I've seen quite a few that have Rock bases or foundations, maybe you can use those rocks for that. Or the fireplace inside? Of course you could do a nice old fashioned rock wall to close in a small front yard area or garden around your new cabin and Last but not least if you wanted to put in a pond they would be great for fill in the bottom. I'd love to watch you do any of those projects... Turn those dayumn lemons into some lemonade... lol 😆..
L❤VE from Kentucky! 💋
Or a good sized fire pit
@@mscheryl7387 Girl that would be one Hell of a firepit. LoL ...but your right. 😃
too much frost heave up north for that probably
@@MatthewHyatt Hey Georgetown! 👋
No matter what you're doing, you stay positive. Wish my Nephews were like this. And your arms are getting bigger, to the point where I started working out to try and keep up (gave up the next day and drank beer). Keep the videos coming bro!
Damn you can build a frickin castle with all them boulders or one hell of a huge fireplace. Stay safe my friend.
You sure aren't afraid of hard work, son.
More power to your elbow.
Dude, you're farming in New England! When we were kids we'd hire out to pick rocks. A Farmall H and a 12 foot drag. The same fields had been farmed for 300 years, but every spring, another foot on the stonewall...
All them rocks,,,gonna a make a killer fireplace, for the homestead!
DUDE....!!!!!
I WISH I HAD ONE...1....!!!!
Person in my LIFE....!!
That works as AWESOME as you do....too work with or work 4.
I've never in my life had someone with your work ethics..
I tell you KNOW LIEs...
IM PROUD OF YOU...
AND ENJOY WATCHING YOU VIDEOS....
YOUR INSPIRATIONAL...
STAY AWESOME 👌😎
I remember picking rocks as a kid. This brought back memories! All those rocks you got, some would make a cool wall behind your wood stove
At 10:58 ... I think you might have a little something on your face.
Hey I have been watching awhile whats the best way to contact you about a business opportunity?
Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 👍
boy, all those fieldstone rocks will make a nice fireplace in your new cabin👍
The good part is you have enough rocks for a god stone foundation. 😊👍
Maybe you can scout around your property and find some gravel to quarry. Then fill in the low spots. Nice work.
Good to see sending it hard bud. Reap your rewards and maybe the bush coffees will stay in your mug and not in the cupholders of the 12 valve. I have the same issue going into my camp. On difference is that I'm diggin' the bastards out by hand. Damn straight it's hard work. Anyone who says otherwise can piss up a rope. Cheers from Ontario my man
Good to see that you have such equipment when you need it. Your back must be pretty sore anyway. If you like catalina you might like russian dressing too. I use it a lot. Have you fished your lake yet this year? Good video. Pax.
tough dude. Great channel
Today I was wondering where you were and about four hours later up you pop. I really understand growing rocks, and I truly feel your pain. Same thing happens here in Central Texas where I live. Wishing you one hell of a great week. God Bless.
Central Texas, I'm about 90 miles Southwest of Ft Worth.
@@earnharvick I live on Lake Whitney. Rocks grow after every rain. I have picked up for 40 years lol.
@@acidheadzzz Enjoyed the read and learned something also. Very good day when you learn something at 75 yrs old LOL.
Thank you Kyle 👍 appreciate you my friend 🙏 stay safe and take care ✌️ 🙏
You probably have been told this before, but that collection of rocks would look really cool as an outdoor fireplace/fire pit.
Roll that road and then put a nice layer of stone over it ! Nice job getting them BFR's out ! 👍
The road is 5km (over 3 miles) long. Finishing it is very expensive...
@@alan2112drums a little at a time then work your way out.
I bet he didn't pick rocks out for 3 miles....
Good job man. I wish I had a couple hundred tons of crushed stone to send your way. A day with a small dozer and roller to pack it all down and you'd have a nice base. Keep up the good drops.
Beautiful country up there.
Look at all the money you saved by not having to go to the fitness center to lift weights !!!! How much weight do you think you picked up in all those rocks ??
hahah a few tonnes at least
You bud are a workaholic beast!! I understand about picking rocks, it's miserable, so I feel for you and tearing up your body!! I never realized your road was over 3 miles long, holy crap that's a lot of rocks and grading. Hope, or dream about someday being able to lay the gravel down on 3 miles wouldn't that be nice?? Another wonderful video keep'em coming. At least you have enough rocks for a great foundation on your new cabin. "Take Care of Yourself"!!
I miss see your post once a week . but i understand you got a lot to do before winter.
Those rocks look like good foundation stones for a log cabin or a nice stone fireplace in that log cabin.
SAVE THE ROCKS AND BUILD THE FIREPLACE ON THE NEW CABIN
I have to grade my road too. Not nearly like yours in length but still it requires the tractor and time every couple months to keep it passable. Hope that works saves the the ole 12 valve this winter. 👍👍
Great seeing you, working hard like you always are💪🏼! Rocks will come in handy for some of the cabin build too, fireplace, steps, foundation and such, make a smoker. See you when your up again, stay well!! 👌
Aren't all the rocks when you was filling the bucket the ones you put in there a ways back lol Your a hard worker my boy 👊👍💪
ya a lot of them where but i put some more
i picked lots last time but there was a lot more to pick
You are a good ol hard working Sasky man like myself. Keep it up, life will return your hard work back to you.
I just respect his privacy due to the fact he never does provide his location rather just his home province.
Fuck, I'm tired just watching you. I just put crushed bluestone in my driveway bay hand. Man, that took a lot of work but my driveway is only 30 meters long.
Man oh man the rocks....story of my life as well the last 2 weeks leveling the property for a campsite....got home last night, sit down with my tacos and low and behold you out up this vid...same same expect your prairies and I am Maritimes lol...wanna bring that beast down here? She looks like she handles the rock better than my 1910 lmao
Well hello there sweetheart. Love seeing Traplines posted another fabulous video. Great job on the driveway. Slow down a little dear. That's a lot of lifting. Don't wanna hurt yourself.❤️
Awesome
"hurtin' unit" Haven't heard that since the mid 1970s What goes around comes back around.
Carry on.
C00L video. Hard worker. Did you teach yourself to operate the heavy machinery?
Maybe you should get into rock farming. Great crop this year!
Now you can build yourself shoe shed🤣🤣🤣 with all them rocks just need some mortar then you will be golden. Many ideas come to my mind build yourself and outdoor cooking area,pizza oven then use the rocks to decorate the outside. Could possible build another house with all those rocks lol looking good though
Gets some gravel lad , your videos are entertaining. Good you didn't move cabin , or did You? I can't find the video. What is your accent? Is that French Canadian?
Nice try. The tractor is OK, but. Take that scrap iron you're dragging and turn it into an open face disk and put a cultipacker behind it, and you will have something.
The dirt road I grew up on was graded every summer. I always hated having to wait a few days for it to get compacted enough to ride my bike. I biffed on smaller rocks too many times lol
Rock man, count your rocks like you count your blessings. Luv your videos, you are a hard worker, I would hire you in heartbeat. Most impressed. Tell me, where are your dogs?
GREAT JOB AS USUAL, MIGHT AS WELL TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN NOW, LOL ARE YOU GONNA BUILD OR DO SOME LANDSCAPING WITH ALL THOSE SMOOTH ROCK? LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO, YOU ARE ONE CRAFTY INDIVIDUAL.
By fixing your road are you not afraid that every Tom, Dick and Harry including the anti trapping idiots will have easy access to your cabin ?
I musta missed a lot of videos.... and damn it, this seventy three years of old fermenting shit of a man I was, don't care to miss as I barely remember this tractor... its coming back yes, but remember you using a freaking fourwheeler to get trees from the bush when this tractor would of been the ticket for some of it... time for a skid steer an some different buckets that help screen the dirt an rock apart an then the limestone or what ever your pits give up for road base. I think that you decided against raising chickens for the given minute to do the furniture and some other treasure your discovering. Still wish that your sorry ass would find the love of a damn good dog... you will never even come close to knowing the meaning of a true damn friend! Let me say as a former soldier from foreign wars, defending that rights of yours to pack what is right, any damn gun you want, buy any damn product..etc. A true friend will give his life unconditionally for saving yours.. no fucking maybe. I have a good damn many scars to prove I did just that an knew I was dead yet that maker of ours has some plan to keep me around. I shouldn't be, I never go four hours without suffering some pain that make so many puke an run for the pain clinic for some joy feeling pain management. Get a ripper behind that tractor an get serious.. use the rock where the roads always flooding so it can be a natural culvert of sort till ya decide just what is right. I wish ya the best, an wish we were sharing a plate of beaver tail soup
Do NOT hurt your back Kyle. You will have that the rest of your life. Hard work. Mark where you put all the rocks well so you can see the area clearly when the snow is on the ground. Rocks are very unforgiving. You are a machine just like that John Deer Kyle!!! It was rocky land like that in the UK and Scotland and Europe as a whole that produced all the rocks for the walls around pastures and foundations and barns and houses there. You ought to clear land and grow hay. You'd make a small fortune. Can't hardly wait for the next vid. J
I didn't think he ever made his name or location public. But you call him Kyle. How do you know his name is Kyle?
BUILD cobble stone road . It did that in my ranch that was fifty years ago it still holding with maintenance. You are young and wise.
Never did like picking Rocks! But disc Blades sure don't like them!
If you can find a paving company that will dump free road millings on your property and you can you it to put on your driveway and get a steam roller/vibrate roller to pack em down, you'll be Minty 4 life.
Looks like you need a rock bucket a bunch of tines like a pitchfork to sift the rock out and leave the dirt. Frost heave, you are going to get a new crop every year for a while allow me to commiserate. Every time I screwed up I got told "Go pick rocks" I got strong and got smart but talk about a chore that takes forever.
I just liked hearing ya talk; the accent!! A good rear-blade to put some crown on that road'd be good.
Rent a rock crusher and gravel your road, save some for your fireplace when you later build that cabin eh?
Great job 👍, I haven't heard anyone say " hurtin unit " since Christ was a cowboy 🤣
Hard job but good try on the road. The only way to really get smooth is to dig it up then shack out the rocks or bring in dirt. To much 💯💯💯💯🥰
You could have just made a nice rock edge down the edge driveway instead of moving them all..
WTF? I worked with tractors for 27 years, how did you lower the height of the draw bar on the fly?
Maybe look at the rock material where's it heavy an look at the mineral it has Maybe you'll be doing alot more digging for that gold stuff that makes a man go crazy
your droppin rocks and suddenly the middle finger lmfao..so random ahahaaa
Where do you get the equipment you use on your place and is it family property or are you buying it, and how many acres are you working on?
Why remove the rocks? Won't vehicles sink when it rains?
You need rock crusher for your driveway improvement and you need compact roller
Nothing better than some more awesome content to enjoy while eating some venison and cheese eggs 👌🏾🤟🏾
Fuck bud I gotta go to bed but your videos are too fun to watch!!! Keep on givin’ er!!
Wow u grow a lot of rocks lol. Lol. Do it myself many times. Not fun. And hard work !!!!
Man this is one of your bigger projects. Sweet video , the camps gettin' serious!
That’s not the end of the rock battle
Every winter cycle more and more are gonna come up
A D8 wood fix the rocks and make them gravel.
Hope you're staying hydrated 😮
I seem to reecall you putting down rock so you wouldn't gett bogged down in the mud.
Good gawd, what a mess. Other than that statement, I'm keeping my mouth shut
If you had a market for them you could have a good business
you are going to find a use for those rocks someday, on the meanwhile keep givin er'
You should build your cabin out of stone. Have a ton of the natural resources, right there for free.
Superman could have used those rocks to stop that dam :)
you got the rocks to build a deadly fireplace for your cabin!
Maybe worth building yourself a house of stone
Could any of those rocks be used in the foundation of your new cabin?
nice job my friend best wishes from Tasmania
Like watching your videos
Right dandy Canadian workhorse! 😎👍
Are ya going to pave it?? LOL I may as well ask some city boy is going to
Love the 🖕 to the rock pile 😂
