    Northern Washington is a great place for self-made business owners. My uncle owned and operated a rock quarry for years and became wealthy. I’m glad to see Jason making his own resources to build what he needs to help extract more resources from his mine!

    The more resourceful one is, the lower the grade of ore one can sustain themselves with.
    Fantastic example as always . . .

    Golden work Jason
    Gave me a Major Flashback! 😳
    In 1995 I bought a portable band sawmill. We owned 40a in Harrietta Michigan with beautiful 24”~36” Red Pines. I logged off, sawed/dried enough to build a 24’ x 64’ two story timber frame barn. I did this work By My Self 99%😅 It was a super fun Bucket List project.
    I really enjoyed the sawer’s grumblings about the dirty logs. 😂 The dirty log issue I solved by making a log sleds.
    Really interesting video.
    Thanks Jason
    Peace Prospector Tripp

    So when the second intro hit, it was "SURPISE! YOU GET THE OTHER JASON!" 😂
    And like, holy crow, but you said "I'm going to take a few trees down" and I was not expecting that level of skill, proficiency, and correct tools, on a mining channel 😅
