- Who will win the game?!? 😜 (Us, of course! 🤩😊). We are pretty much right out of firewood at our off-grid cabin, so this was a necessary task to do ASAP! Our wood-fired hot tub takes up a lot of wood, but we are hoping (really really hoping) that we can get our little ore car wood-fired hot tub put together and set up this fall/winter!! 🤞🏼We will purchase a wood heater for that hot tub - any recommendations ??
Steve retrieves the two game cameras he had set up in May when we were looking for Scout, so I include some of the animals seen! (that is in the first intermission of the game, by the way 🤭).
We just got home from our 'vacation', and now I need a vacation. haha.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, and see you all next week
Michelle 💕
Thank you Levi Strauss for making firewood so enjoyable .. 😜 who doesnt like Hogans Heroes ?? .. one of the all time favorites ...that trail camera footage with the bears was amazing
Wood splitting hint: Don't strike in the middle of the log! Make it at the nearer (closer to you) at the edge. That way you don't get the handle mixed in, and you have better leverage for splitting the log.
Also, very much enjoyed the bear scratching his/her back with the tree!
I think it's great to see Steve in your videos, he is your husband so to see that love between the two of you once in a while really makes your videos more family oriented. Steve seems like a great guy.
Beautiful blue eyes, and a lady who can build anything. ♥️
Definitely show more of Steve, he's hilarious and naughty. I would love to see you do a video on the cabin and how it has settled over time since construction. I would like to see the dovetails, log spaces, checking, openings and what went right or wrong or what would you do differently. Cheers Michelle
A couple of full days work. What beautiful filming. Nice to see the 2 of you, a all of the doggies. ( and kitty).
Glad to be along 🙋♂️🐈🐈
What a lovely couple you and Steve make. You're kind and considerate of one another. Even though it may not be Steve's thing to be on camera, I enjoy seeing him and the knowledge he brings to your channel.
I know you like splitting wood but they make a bit for your drill that makes it a cinch for times when you don't 😀
As always, I enjoy all you do on your channel. Thanks for taking us along to the beauty of British Columbia and the sweetness of the pups. Prayers for dear Hannah 🙏
Envy the life you, Steve and all your animals live. Best to all of you...
It’s great to see the whole cast enjoying life together.
Mint - safety equipment to run a chainsaw - great video as always.
How much wood can Michelle chuck wood?.. great work..
Amen to that! Hope you're enjoying the fall weather. Best, R
this is fantastic
Steve watching Hogan's Heros - classic! I knew I liked that guy!
always enjoy seeing Steve he is part of who you are and that is a great team indeed - you two rock with the help of a kitty and
a couple pups
It's always a pleasure watching you work in these beautiful surroundings Michy but sure, why not have the other half of the team on camera too.
Nice scenario all around...great woman companion...knows how to work...dogs to spoil,..."for Steve...less-toil".
Man planned his retirement...very, very well.
It's always a blessing to collect firewood near your cabin. Enjoying Steve working with you that's awesome. 🙏🦾
You guys are living the dream. So good to see a loving couple working together.
GIRL! You are a machine! To me...a log splitter would be more fun 😆
Yinz make me happy 😊! Enjoy your time off and keep on living life.
Shamrock Spiders are quite easy to train...just feed them a Grasshopper or Stink Bug once a week....and enjoy old style yarn spinning dexterity.....LOL !!
And that Mini-x is a great back saver....just grab that tree, by the wood shed, waist high...and start bucking....I am lazy though. LOL !!
Great video Michy. Y'all take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next video
Happy vacations !
Of course you're the main Character of the movie, but Steve makes a good sidekick... (after the dogs of course)
love the channel... i am 70 yrs old now, wish i would have done what you guys are doing back when i was 25.. ty for sharing with us much love and prayers from SE Texas Bear.......
Great to see Steve in front of the camera. He seems to really enjoy it and you can see he was loving going fast on the boat. The dynamics and teamwork you guys have is awesome. I think he should start in your videos a bit more :)
Absolutely love too see more of BIG Steve. you guy’s are great !! And the trail camera footage was awesome and I am truly impressed with your carpentry skills you’re very crafty and have a gorgeous home! And thank you so much for sharing it is truly enjoyed and appreciated! See you on the next one
Like what you produce. I think you are the project goddess. Thanks for posting.
Morning Michelle. There is a stink bug trap you can make. It consists of a plastic drink bottle, you cut the top to make a funnel that you flip upside down and attach it to its base. Before attaching, put inside a led light that has the on off switch on the actual light part, you can get packs of 3 at any hardware store. Now use masking tape the two bottle parts together and use duct tape at the bottom of the bottle to make that area dark to hide the light about 2 inches high. Also make a masking tape bridge from the top to the bottom it's so the bugs can climb up, fall down or climb down the funnel and get trapped inside. The stink bugs are attracted to light. Turn the led light on with a pencil that way you don't need to open up the bottle. Best of luck
Who wouldn't liked getting hugged by you dear. Nice getting some fire wood done loved the video with the hole family .
A few years ago I could chop wood like Steve, run drywall with a guy half my age, but I got lazy and my health has suffered. Steve is à testament to health and Hogan's heros
Yes Steve is Awesome 👍 like how happy he is driving boat
Steve's the Man. Yes, fun to watch!
Most would agree..."Steve's a lucky fellow". Nice video
It’s very nice to see Steve in the videos.
Thank you.
Yes to Steve, you two are a package! 👍 👻👿🎃🍁🍂
It's awesome seeing and having Steve in the video steve is a awesome 👌
Sure, bring more Steve on! Judging by the lives you live, Steve has done right by you. It’s time for him to sit back a little and let you do right by him. Steve, support her endeavor! She’s got a following that will continue to grow! You can retire and enjoy days filming your wife doing the tough work! You earned it! And she likes it!
I Love Steve. lote more of him. he is so funny. Its great to see how you guys work together
Great to see Steve! Birch in log length will stay very wet. Even sawed to stove length it dries very slowly unless it is spilt.
Steve's Ax swinging is very naughty indeed ... What power !!!
It would be good to see both of you equally. The two of you seem to be unique and interesting.
Through some other video, I’ve learned that using a shorter stump for splitting would gives your axe head longer to travel and generate downward force. I think if you lowered your hit point 6-8 inches; you’d notice a difference. Fun Vid!
Yeah you’re probably right. I had a shorter stump but it rotted out. I’ll cut this one down 👍
I like to stand on the uphill side, too, whenever I can.
Theres the old trick about using a tyre on the stump to stop the wood flying off so should save alot of bending over.
10/4 that suggestion!
Also a portable option, using a section of rope small knots spaced out for adjustment points, a prusik knot, black rubber bungee for tension. Basically safer, and reduces the wasted energy of chasing and remount the wood. You start with a bundled cluster.
It's nice to see the both of you working on things together and I truly enjoy all your fur-babies along with the Beautiful scenery. Stay Safe and Enjoy
I don't believe you ever have any time off!😄 That bear scratching it's back made me laugh 😂. Great seeing Steve swinging that axe 🪓💪🏻
No wonder you're in shape sweetie the way you work....I'm impressed michy 😉👍🙌🥀
Life is short, (I would know). Family is everything. Thanks for the adventure.
Get it big Steve! My favorite axwoman in the while world ☺
Yes! I like to see you both! More Steve!
It is good to see the whole gang for sure, more a team really. I'm glad I'm not the only person who enjoys splitting wood, people always think I' m weird. My grandfather always used to tell me that you get a lot of heat from wood. First when you cut it and haul it, again when you split and stack then finally when you burn it. Thank you for sharing another chunk of your life with us! Looking forward to the next.
So true! Love that!
My back hurts just watching you split wood..... lol Yes, more of Steve!!
Great blog great couple fantastic pets.
Hope you have a lot of firewood for the winter. You are such a hard working woman! Many would not take on all you achieve. Stay at it and BUILD..
Really enjoyed watching your team effort in getting your firewood supply renewed. Great hard working lifestyle you chose
comes with great rewards with your enviable surroundings and animals & pets you share it with. 👍👍👍
Wish I was Clyde! Hope steve recovers from that attempt to split some wood. Love your videos.
Great content, but Steve needs a vise for sharpening the saw. A sharp saw is a must and it makes quick work of any cut you make. Love seeing the whole family (dogs included) working and playing together. Jay from Pa.
Yes, more of Steve. And more of you! And more of the dogs, please! 👍😁
What a crazy question ❓ Of course we want to see Steve very mysterious 😅 . But seriously I have to say it is up to him. As always good luck and God Bless.
"It's not a man's job... step aside Steve..." Love it!
Great content 👍and more Steve if you please share some of his knowledge you're the entertainment 😍🤗✌❤😘
Ok,matter,s not that u didn't have,u knew saw horse's are useful,now ease of work can proceed 😉,neva burn what is useful ", blessings Wes ❤️❤️🤠
That's a great advert for that pair of jeans! Wow!!
Love the video. Thanks. Firewood is a tuff job cutting but someone has to do it. Take care Michy and be safe with that axe please. ❤️😊👋🙏
So much hard work and love has made you guys a wonderful life, thank you for sharing.
Always fun to see Steve, it's fun to see the engineering side and how he problem solves.
Awesome trail cam video too!
Steve is a gun, more Steve. Not that I wanna see less Michelle but the big guy is also a joy to watch.
Y'all are wonderful. What a beautiful place you have there. More Steve? Pfft. Just kidding, like seeing Steve. I say more Michelle. Like in the lake swimming. You are a rockstar.
Peace and Love y'all, Tim
Your certainly the UA-cam , "Go Getter Gal " Keep on Keeping on . !
Gonna call you "Lightning" ... never strikes twice in the same place (:-)
😂
Wait. In Steve's defense, Hogan's Heros is essential to a person's well being. I am sure there is work to do, but Hogan's Heros will put Steve's mind right and the overall productivity will increase.
I so enjoyed watching you split that firewood. So many chords I’ve split and stacked, it was nice to sit back and watch someone else do it.
Great video, I never thought I would be so entertained by watching two people split fire wood. Yes more Steve is good. Till next time be safe.
Bonjour Steve et Michelle what an action-packed episode. back scratching bear, deer, a team effort on the wood cutting and splitting, a boat ride on the lake and happy doggies. a little work, a little vacation time. Hogan Hero's was the bomb back in the day. thanks for sharing 'this is us' the real deal vidéo. hard work and a cool beverage afterwards!! cheers enjoy your holiday.
Michy te felicito, manejas muy bien el acha para cortar esa madera.- Saludos desde La Rioja Argentina.-
More of the dynamic duo. You two have a great rapport, which is great to see. If you have never heard of The Timber Framing Guild, you should check them out.
yes more of Steve hes the man all he does is hold the camera lol, great job guys alot goes into getting ready for winter you just make it fun.
He’s never held my camera once!
Always going, hard worker Michele. be careful swinging that axe.
You are a kick to watch. Thanks for the content.
Xtra work on the saw, but I would use that to cut down the middle or cut the log shorter. You strong Shero!! Admire you immensely 😁
Love seeing Steve .Thanks for your time.
Great to see the whole family enjoying time together. More Big Steve!
Great video once again, you both embrace your tasks with gusto. Long may it continue!
Wish I was there with you during the hugging session it would be so nice but dogs and steve would get mad lol
I like Steve, He's a funny guy. I'm sure he could always pass on some knowledge for us viewers. Plus I love the banter and kidding around that goes on between you two.
The longer your swing the easier to split.put your log on the ground. Beautiful.
I think I got it. I saved your post till just before nap time cause chopping wood always puts me to sleep. Even more so as a spectator. Thanx for sharing
Tony’s wood splitting advice, use the maul and incorporate a sledgehammer to drive it through the axe is good for finishing splintered out pieces. It’s still a workout with the sledgehammer but on wet wood it makes it a lot easier. Steve has the right idea with bourbon I recommend 1 to 1 ratio, one stick of wood split one glass of bourbon 😂.
My dad, brother and cousin would collect standing and fallen dead wood in our lake lot around Kamloops. We would. The smaller timber in 8-12ft logs and just roll them down hill to our wood shed. I liked doing. This chore. We used splitting mauls and doubled headed axes. We always had enough for two cabins to burn throughout winter. Pine and fir smell great!
Jeez Paula Bunyon you are impressive. Working like that it won’t take you long to fill up your woodshed. Hope all is well with you.
Yes ❤ nice couple relationship ... positive environment...always inspiring and motivating 🤗💯
Hello Michelle, It's time to bring in the woods... Winter is coming! Thanks for the video. See you soon Michelle 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💋
LMAO Steve watching Hogans Heroes
Another very interesting video Michelle, thank you, you are a real grafter
Love the trail cam footage! You're both darned good wood splitters!! 🪓 Dogs in the boat...so cute. We love Steve!!! 👍🇨🇦😎🐾🐾🐾🐾🌲🌲🌲🌲
I must admit watching you split that wood was quite the show
THAT SPIDER THOUGH!!! My soul fell out of me,,, light a match. :0
You swing that axe pretty good, Michy! 💪👍
Always good to see Steve.
Hogan's Heroes? You are people of taste and refinement! 👍
Hey guys, I found an awesome tool for wood splitting, it looks like a cross between a splitting maul and wood splitting axe. It’s made by Fiskers but the axe head has wings for the lack of a better description that spreads the wood apart. It’s lighter than the maul and you don’t have to swing it so hard. Best wishes, good luck.
Another Great Video, You Really Need A Log Splitter There, Even A 7 ton Electric Would Be Good. Splitting Wood By Hand Is Very Hard Work. Good To See The New Dog Going Well & Fitting In Nicely
Enjoy Seeing Big Steve working around the Cabin with ya....have a great week guys
Enjoyed it! Surely seeing more Steve is a good thing. Who knew that watching a couple make firewood would keep me entertained for 25 minutes? Take care.
We love Steve!
🙂👍💯🇨🇦 have a blessed week amen .
