I remember a Samurai carving out a sink from a rock! What a journey it’s been so far
Thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge
My first video as well, crazy right?!
Same, my 1st Samurai vid.
Not sure if you read these comments Jesse but I have a bit of advice regarding your sawmill & excavator. Get an inline pump and fill a water tank from the lake. If you have the tank placed abovy your log deck/sawmill you could run a pressure washer set up using a hose from the tank and your generator. Pressure washing the mud/gravel out of your excavator's undercarriage after every use is going to save you a ton of money in wear & tear. Also, you can use it to pressur wash your logs before milling and your sawmill blades will last a lot longer. Great video! Thanks!
I’m looking forward to when you put siding on your cabin 🙂
My Grandfather had around 200 acres and lots of fun things like a gravel pit, a pecan orchard and backed up to a railroad with a trestle for swimming. further across the tracks was a pond and a creek. I remember needing to escape from time to time and connect with nature. In those times, I quieted myself and seemed to cease to exist and become one with my surroundings. Its really the only way I survived my childhood. Running bare footed thru plowed fields. Getting lost in a 50 acre corn patch and camping by the creek. Your kids are so fortunate that their father is preparing a paradise for them to grow into. Kudos my Friend. Cheers!!!
You need a pair of log tongs on a chain. Hook it to the bottom of the bucket, grab an end of a log and drag it where you want it.
A big flat clean area, space and silence all very under rated things!!
The clip of the clouds being formed at the end was awesome!
Watching a man sculpt the earth. It's a powerful thing. It's a wonderfully primal thing. Work hard... don’t take risks.
Oh and you can use the sealant on everything. Those gates for your dust collection. Shower screens. Mirrors. Plastic and the metal bar on tools such as your chainsaw. Basically any surface of any material that you want to stay clean and be a little slippery
We moved to a more rural area and I have retired....I setup a small woodworking shop in our garage....but I found myself rolling the benches and saws out onto my awning covered driveway much of the year so that I could be outside even when working on a project.... I feel the call of the outdoors, and love to be outside....built a small chickshaw for our chickens...then a larger cattle panel hoop coup to give them a larger protected space....then a tunnel house for growing veggies year round and for keeping critters from taking our food.... that's just this summer. And like you say, with privileges come responsibilities.....and if you don't "pay attention" now to them, you'll "pay later".... same principle applies with your wife and family....give them the needed time and interest they need and deserve, and they'll give you a better future down the road too. o;)
Super fun to see you make progress on the off-grid site and your shop.
I love what you are doing for your family. Keep producing...
Well.. Let's see how another "something gone wrong on my property" unfolds. Its fascinating learning with this channel.
I’m liking the new long format videos…getting my Samurai fix!
When I lived in Alaska I got used to having clouds come in over the mountains and then lower down to ground level. So cool to see them coming in. In the winter they leave hoarfrost on everything. Clear ice that coats everything about a quarter inch deep. At night the headlights of the car on bright reflect off the trees and look like the trees are covered in diamonds. Really cool. Just gotta be careful walking LOL.
Have you ever heard the Idea of North? It was a radio program about Northern Canada. Your comment reminded me of the opening of that.
About your "geekin' out about dust collection" rant... you seem to be doing a lot of that lately. While there may be a few that get on you for that nit-picky crap, it seems like you may be letting them get under your skin. The rest of us pay them no attention and you shouldn't either. And once you let them go, you won't feel the need to rant at them. (I know your rants aren't aimed at most of us, but we still have to endure them.)
I enjoy your channel and I admire your force of will that has moved you toward this new life. I am glad you are finding joy in it! Don't forget to incorporate your family into your adventures!!
Good point; these blessings, these conveniences (the excavator, Truck, boats, etc) need our work to keep them working properly.
It’s so cathartic watching you and the progress. The transformation is amazing
Here's a tip. Whenever you use metaltape like on the Y joints or waste gates or reducers of your dust collection system, use the backing paper (after removing it from the metaltape) to smooth the metaltape. I nearly cringed when I saw you smooth the metaltape with your hands! Those edges are sharp as a razor and I've had more cuts than I can count smoothing it with my bare hands. I just was up the wax paper backing and rub it on the tape and it leaves a nice burnished finish on your metaltape joints as well as superior contact and adhesion of your tape!
I LOVE your video here and I'm Subscribing to your awesome Channel!
nice video Jesse, wasnt expecting another one so soon but i wont complain :) shame about the mill but love seeing the progress. the water is so clear in the lake, what a dream.
With winter coming , dirt build up under excavator tracks can freeze solid and immobilize the machine .
I felt this huge urge to nerd out on dustcollection systems now. Not that I now a darn thing about it 😆
if your tracks get to muddy you will cause a problem you need to lift them and run them to de-clog them just use the boom to tilt the machine
Definitely bolt a canvas to the cabin, and attach it to a Japanese style gate.
That tree at 8:22 is well older than 15 man, I got counting to 40 before even reaching the inner sap ring and it's got another 30-50 outside that.
17:05 we work WITH other people, machines, tools. There is always a give and take. Even bosses and employees, there is always a choice. So you can’t work FOR someone, you work WITH them
you're doing alright don't worry about what others say.
It's obvious you give thanks everyday for all you have. You're creating an incredible world for your family. Well done samurai. Keep the faith and stay safe out there.
I’m just amazed that your wife is cool with you going away so often while she’s left with all the kids. Hats off to you
Hats off to her.
Pretty good lifespan for that pop up tent. Those are great but I've seen too many destroyed by wind on jobsites(either from ripping or collapsing). To get a year out of one is impressive.
I was sure you were going to drop that tree on that bin!
I've got the same MS362 and I totally agree; It's a great all-round saw! :D
Hey man, love your work ! Have you considered making a wood rack to store milled timbers? Doesnt have to be fancy, just so long as it`s level and keeps off the rain.
How about establishing your future house floor deck on helical piles for a level working platforms?
Hey there. I know it might sound odd, but try cleaning your excavator’s glass with auto glass cleaner and then coat it with auto paint sealant. Turtle wax glass cleaner is excellent and turtle wax seal and shine paint sealant is fantastic. And they are cheap! Last 6 months when you get a few coats on and boy do they mean you can see so much better in rain and then stay so much cleaner! We use them on our excavators tractors RTV and the Cat telehandler. Safety is so much better too
For your sawmill tracks your can replace the bent tracks with angle iron
Make a traditional Japanese tile roof for your shade.
Oldgrowth best stays old and standing. Second growth is beautiful timber too
Your chainsaw skills is awesome.
Seems non- intuitive, but when I was researching my dust collection system, everyone told me that the motor has the least stress on it when all the blast gates are closed. I was totally worried about burning it out or collapsing my pipes. I think you could confirm this by looking at the amp draw where it will be higher with gates open. Based on this, I decided to just get the long ranger remote that clips to my shop apron. I leave the DC on as I’m using various machines and open and close gates as needed. This reduces longer term wear by not having the DC have to be turned on and off constantly. So not to geek out on you as I like to keep it simple too, but wanted to share. 😂
I love watching the fog rolling over the headlands across the bay here in Nova Scotia. Surreal
what a beautiful spot
Love it keep it up ❣️
Check out the woodpeckers 4” gates. They are very nice.
I think you are best left in your own little world !
another amazing vid bummer about the mill I'd unbolt the bent bit & take back to town it's amazing what can be straitened with a press or just get some angle iron & make a new piece.
Great video! Yeah dust collection nerds are... nerds. Iv just redid our little mills for the third time with trained pros. Good to know what works and what's doesn't but I'm there to mill wood, knowing about dust collection is an added bonus but I'm not gonna focus on it! Keep up the excellent work
Another fire one jesse!
Excellent
Dudes chopping the tree’s in his area like they are candy. Gunna be pretty empty there in no time
Would recommend greasing more often especially if working with logs and stumps…
Maybe you should build a retaining wall and make a flat spot,like you said loads of trees.
you should weld a hook on the back of the bucket near the pivot point to use for lifting tasks
Zen and the Art of Excavator Maintenance.
Have a look at a rotating hitch for your excavator
My dad and i even built a platform to screw down the feet of our carport tent and we lost both attempt to windstorms.
Assuming you grounded that. It's insane how much static those create.
You have a resource at your disposal that would make cleaning your tractor a breeze… Water… Hook up a hose and a pump to bring water up to a compressor… That way you can power wash your dozers tracks…
And wash all the crap into the lake? Maybe not.
@@TAWei-hi6uv So you think a lake doesn’t have mud and rocks in it? Are you a moron?
you can rub some candle wax on the metal gates so they will move freely
Use the bucket to dig out a flat place to put your sawmill and a place to put your lumber.
At which point "offgrid" becomes "ongrid"...? 😄
Hasn't been truly off grid for a long time...
@@TAWei-hi6uv For electricity you are probably "on" as soon Ecoflow, Jackery, Anker, "another one I can not remember the name" marketing guys contact you :)
Samurai Libertarian... 🤣👍
Be sure to line your road with ditches or water will destroy it.
Great work Jesse. That machine is awesome. With all those beautiful straight pines I would think you would want to build a log cabin of some sort. Check out White Duck Outdoors for canvas, tarps, and tents. I've bought a couple tarps for my build through them and they are great quality and reasonable prices. We just had a big windstorm through here and my sun shelter shade ripped out (light cheap canvas that came with the shelter). I'm replacing the shade with the White Duck poly tarp which is far better stuff.
I‘m asking myself to any plot transformation project how does it match the Kant’s imperative… if the amount of ground and wood work would be the standard of each land owner… I‘ll once will try to make use of a plot without touching ground or any tree on it. My mission is to find out a way to build but stay as human as a polite and gentle guest in the given scenery of nature.
Little bit of WD-40 on those sticky metal hatches and you’ll be fine I’m sure
NorFab ducting is the European take-apart (clever clamps) that make rigid ducting a breeze. You owe it to yourself to investigate. Like Lego's for ducting. Insanely better than anything. No kidding. Uber fast to install and re-configure if ever needed.
Did you change the blade out to something more aggressive? It's a beast.
I need that T-shirt, please do it!!!
Always been a fan of Stihl, my chainsaw is the smallest available locally, it's the 170. But, brand spanking new, haven't even cut with it yet, just filled all the fluids and fired it up to make sure it's ready to go.
Have a great Thanksgiving. You are so Blessed.
I love how you go on offense to stop the negative nellys in comments…lol
Can you access your property via road??
Just buy a smart plug off of Amazon for like 5 bucks and get an Alexa...pair the two and then you can just say "Alexa, turn on the cyclone". That's what I did...works awesome and you never have to fuss with remotes or wired blast gates
I am so sorry I pushed the wrong thumb I hoped I fixed it. Happy Thanksgiving
When will you finally build a mini log raft, carve a longbow and a few arrows, have your kids push it off into the lake while you film the perfect shot from 100 yards nailing your last tub of Odies Oil as the flames permanently cease in the watery deep?
And this is why I should have been a hermit, I hate everybody the exact same way. Just leave me alone!!!
i've found all the gates, metal or plastic, recently, are crap. you kinda have to go to a woodcrafters (or here in portland, woodcraft :-) ) and be choosy about which ones you buy. some are sticky to the point of just. not. opening. after a few days. i buy the loosest gates i can find. the gate on my kick sweeper doesn't open at all anymore. i need to replace it. also... i try to only get the "self cleaning" gates that can push the dust out the backside when closing.
omygod, pls take a course in tree felling or watch some videos how to do it,,, i can suggest Peter Janson
Call us back when your done
Blessings? Lol
Dear Samurai,
why do you have a safe in your shop?
someone has left a big safe in my shop(the same size as yours) I'm desperate to get rid of it unless you can offer a good reason to keep it. (or did the previous occupant leave it in your shop too😀)
🇳🇴👍👍
"See ya later sucka!"
I never show the before and after pictures to people, I only take them for myself.
I dont get the people on social media that craving for likes and attention

Good point about faithfulness. We never know what He protects us from when we've been faithful.
Four questions came to mind while watching the video.
1. Did you find and fix your wiring problem?
2. You are doing 'lumberjack' work out there which is notoriously dangerous and injuries are seldom minor.
It looks like you are working alone. What are you going to do if you get hurt?
3. You are setting up your shop in a residential neighborhood with houses very close.
Are you going to have a problem with neighbors?
4. You mentioned power at your property. How are you going to set up a shop there being off the grid?
I saw you using a Metabo tool. I had never heard of that brand and found out it was Hitachi.
I bought a dirt cheap Metabo miter saw just to get accurate cuts without having to use a hand saw.
From the reviews I'm seeing on UA-cam it supposed to be great.
👍
welcome to Van Isle! (this should answer most of your questions, if you're confused, keep on watching the channel and slowly it will all make sense)
@@lobby1529 I have no idea who you are or what this means.
@@jim6100 I assume Samurai is in in vancouver island (van isle) or at least BC where people learn how to operate a chainsaw in their early days. I can tell that Samurai Carpenter is a very experienced tool operator, although he's not super man and free from bad luck, he's judgement on how much to risk is at a very high professional level. In Vancouver Island, even if he had some company to help him from a bad ass accident, it would take him a good helicopter journey to the "nearest" hospital. To answer you second question, in Vancouver Island the average nearest neighbour is usually a few hundreds of meters away. In this case, miles away! No one is going to hear him doing wood work.
Being off grid is not a issue, you can get solar panels and batteries. It's not easy to run 3 phase stuff that requires more power but not impossible.
Metabo is a known brand, as with any other brand: you get what you paid for. Precision usually doesn't come along with cheap.
And no, you don't know me. And I don't think you know this channel or what he's doing. So that's why I advise you to keep on watching and get into the groove.
Why are you burning so much wood? Wouldn't it be more resourcefull as firewood?
Waits in anxiety to see what happens to the tool box! No more talking action... Wait you really are not going to move the tool box. Now I am stressing out for the tool box. So many seconds waiting.
Sounds extremely sus
I hate to be negative, but I do not like your recent videos. I get that you're making longer videos, but I bet it hurts your click through rate and viewer retention very much. Some channels pull long videos off (Andrew Camarata comes to mind), but these last couple of videos have just been incoherent, little to no educational value, and random, long philosophical talks.
I wish you all the best in your endeavours, and absolutely believe there is good content to be made on your off-grid property. But I do believe you have to invest more into the videos, and not relying on that your subscribers want to watch and hear about anything that you happen to be doing in that moment.
If you're still reading, my suggestion would be: max 20 min videos, delivering on title/thumbnail, create a narrative/story for the video. You can still be doing unrelated things (for example shop infrastructure and felling timber), but give some narrative so we understand your motivation.
Long rant, sorry. All the best from a long time subscriber.
oh goody i won a gift from a spammer lol claiming to be the samurai
Is it just me, or is he giving off a strong 'mental breakdown / mid-life crisis' vibes lately, what with all the preachy, rambley, slightly unhinged gibbering he tends to stop for during videos? Anyone?
Odd comment coming from SuicideNeil. Just saying lol

Amazing how condescending you have become to the people supporting you.
Can't believe how much garbage you've shipped onto the island... and the Environmental Protection Agency, if there's anything like that in the US, is watching?
Its land designated for human occupancy. Its not protected. And besides general pollution than humans introduce, he is not doing anything egregious like dumping directly into the lake or chemical production and venting gasses.
What are you talking about? Are you just pulling the pollution card because you're woke and professionally offended?
