Put you some marker poles in the ground around that curve.
I said last time Need put tall fence stake on the down hill side of road Here in California (Ca Tran ) mark edge the road So the Plow truck do not drive off the road. I knew someone will drive off the road.
Jesus take the wheel
I'd re-grade it so that the road slopes the correct way for the curve. Rent a dozer for a day when it thaws. Also lockers on the plow truck...
Yep, I was just about to type that. Just some cheap sign posts maybe with some reflectors or reflective tape. Preferably, driven in when the ground is thawed.
A couple of cheap UHF radios to place in the vehicles, and one for in the kitchen are not a bad investment!!!
Base unit and a bunch of portables. 👍👍👍
It worked for the Duke Boys.......Shepard to Lost Sheep, you got your ears on?
We use then all the time. Our boys (9&6) use them to communicate us when we are out doing chores ect. The radios are a total life saver
@@justamom863 use them for everything on our land and at work... No cell service all the time but they work... Except in heavy steel bldgs....
@@clone1landman we do the same thing. We have zero cell signal for miles and rely on radios for communication on the property. We are super lucky to be able to have high speed internet via microwave and satellites, so we use wifi calling.
"I've been a wench maybe"🤣🤣🤣 Love her sense of humor!
Tomorrow may be a dreaded Monday. But at least, I have 22 minutes of Bliss per a new Red Poppy Ranch every Sunday. Wow, It looks like we will have a video in the spring where Heath will fix that corner by widening it, and adding a few layers of gravel.
I would think about investing a few bucks into a HAM radio system for your vehicles and property. I’m using the Baoreng BF-F8HP with Nagoya NA-320A antennas in my trucks. At about $80 each with all the parts you’d need, it could be a life saver and at the least, save you a lot of frustrated walking. Great to keep the family safe...
Go back to video 303 and 304 and get the front mount hydraulic snow blower going. And get some delineators for that curve.
i'm a young man and i always love to hear your thoughts and knowledge, very inspiring to me.
Make a winch mount on a 2" reciever tube so you can move it to the back of your truck without repositioning and have a 2" reciever mount welded into the front of your bumper.
ztj1611 a remote on a cable so she can stand clear in these situations would be advisable too
Can’t do that with the plow on the truck.
Alec Matteson I think he meant on the dodge sonic he has to pull the pole truck out he can do it from the front of the dodge
Strongly suggest you start learning and making adjustments from previous like mistakes. As soon as POSSIBLE, I'd go "all in" to enact a plan to enlarge the road at that place to mitigate further accidents there. This should be a big priority seeing you've had numerous accidents there.
Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to invest in either some 2-way or just some good high wattage Cb radios
5:30 ... Oreo is such a BEAUTIFUL Cat !!!
Yeah those eyes were beautiful
@Mar~Bear I third that! Would love to snuggle her!
4th and 5th and,...….. :-)

Heath, start looking for a big 4wd plow truck (oshkosh, walter, fwd,.. etc) with a wing plow so you can bench that snow back off the road without risking the truck itself going off. A pickup trucks plow is too small for what you're trying to do. maybe youll get lucky and find an old sidewing setup you could add to the pickup in the mean time , but id opt for the heavy truck and wing plow myself
We're having red alerts here in Ireland at the moment for wind and rain but what I'd give for some crunchy snow. It's not an easy living you've chosen but you have that pioneering spirit in great abundance. What a great upbringing for those lucky children. Well done all of you.
I was born and raised in the mid-west {Missouri and Indiana}, that's where I developed my incredible dislike for snow! I left that behind me almost 30 years ago and moved to south Florida January 1991. Discovered that I disliked hurricanes as much as I disliked snow { survived hurricane Andrew in 1992 } and moved to Phoenix Arizona in 1994. You all are welcome to move back here anytime you're ready to give up that snowy dream / nightmare. We'll leave a light on for you!!! Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
4 ft pole markers for the road edge are pretty cheap. a plow wing extension seems in order too.
dang, im loving that tile though
A rear winch is best when you are plowing forward and have to come out backwards. I had a trailer balls mounded in the bed off the frame where I could slip on a few pieces of heavy duty pipe to make a PIPE BOOM so the winch could LIFT while it was pulling. I added a spring stopper to allow only so much squat...so I could pull with the winch without too much spring collapsing. I fast snatch block for the winch cable and I could POP others out a hole where yanking would not work. Never underestimate the usefulness of a BOOM lifting. That is why recovery wreckers have them. Even the 30-50 ton winches can be rigged to lift over a beam in a pinch that some wreckers carry as a center winch in addition to the twin boom winches.
.......listening to the music and you’re documentary as the cold snowy blizzard surrounds you gives me warmth and peaceful serenity.....reminds me of eons ago growing up in Miami Arizona as my abuelita fed the wood burning kitchen stove, as she cooked rice and refried beans and flour tortillas...the smell of hot coffee brewing and begging my abuela to allow me a cup promising my abuela I wouldn’t tell mom....how I truly miss her!
Great save on the truck. You seriously need to put a posi rear in the plow truck...it will make the truck much better. My cousin and her husband retired to Boise. He is an attorney, she was Air Force OSI, an ME, and an FBI, as a task Force leader. They love to ski and gamble(a finite fund) Although different than your homestead, they love it there. You do a wonderful job taking care of your family. The love shows with everything you do.
Grew up in northern Alberta. We would build a snow ramp every winter and drive the snowmobile up the ramp and into the pickup. We never had to worry about plowing or towing or anything with that weight in the back of the truck. We had rubber tire tubes filled with sand as weights over the wheel wells of our rear while drive cars to deal with the snow. Trust me- get some ballast and you will plow and haul much more safely. Love the videos. Thanks for all the effort to make them and to share your lives.
need to get you a snow blower attachment for the old tractor for when the snow banks on the road get to tall
tom lee absolutely. That kind of snow requires more ability to move it away from the road
@@JoeGraves24 for sure you can only move it so far for so long
I thought he had one?
Needs a snow blower...
Not a snow plow
Maybe put the snow plow on the daily driver
And the snow blower on the brute
And winchs on both ends of the trucks
Next fall, buy a dozen 6' 1/4" florescent fiberglass dowels and stake that edge of the road !
You all are amazingly ingenious people! You know how to “maneuver” your way thru life! I love it ❣️
One of the problems of a snow plow is the excess snow keeps building up on thr sides of the road..
Which causes you to keep crowding the edges
Much better to use a snow blower and keep excess snow off the road or...
Maybe 10 feet wide.
Ha "Don't do that again"
Heard that from my boss lady a few times!
Amazing that you just constantly record the kitchen and was able to catch that conversation! What luck!
A suggestion if you put a piece of rubber on the top of your plow pointing outwards it will help with the over snow over your plow under your windows give it a try is just a suggestion And I hope you consider that sentry boiler idea I sent you it while back they do work very well and use very little would you can burn wet wood in it or dry wood they're very efficient We heat at 18:00 ft² home and a A 15000 ft² barn with it he creates hot water the Huron through a boiler the one in the bond I use a radiator with the fan behind it in works very well and they have radiators did the pipe is run through your home they work very well of course this is just a suggestion and you will not have to season your firewood
"I'm scared" Bless her soul but she's making things worse by stopping the winch. My wife had a REAL problem understanding why it's better to just push the damned button and quit this stop start crap that is causing so much trouble.
Would a PTO snow blower for the tractor be a good idea? Western Idaho is having a very mild winter. Glad you guys are enjoying the snot there.
My heart was in my mouth watching that SWR (steel wire rope) at full load and Cedar standing right next to it. I was a military engineer, and I have seen the damage that an SWR can do if it breaks. Everyone needs to keep a good distance from those things when they are under strain; they can be lethal...!!
Yikes! Well, thank goodness you got the wood Up that hill! And, The real good news is, youve got a perfectly livable, lovely home that will keep you all safe and warm . Everything is falling into place. Next winter will be much easier, for sure!
TIP!: In your bathroom your wall does not go over the tub. There is a part around the tub that is raised. You needed to tape it and put cement over it and make it flush with the wall. Than you roll on your membrane. Now it is not waterproof and the water will get behind it. You will need to change that at some point before the entire wall goes bad because of the water that will get behind. There are a lot of very good videos about these products on a channel called (Home RenoVision DIY). I recommend you check him out and watch his videos on how to install a roll on membrane with a tub. The membrane is completely useless now. It will not divert the water back to the drain but it will go through the wall. Definitely at a point where the tub connects to the wall should you be extra careful.
Although obviously upset, you just waited patiently by the door until she went through! You, my friend are a true gentleman!
Cedar hardy blinks...just grabs her coat. YOU go girl 😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're doing a great job, sounds like your getting a lot of advice. Love your video's, thanks for sharing your life with us.
Every winter you’ll get better and better at this. It’s the first year don’t be too hard on yourself. There are many things you’ve done right! Still waiting on the snow here in NY.
If you guys wanna stay up there for the long haul you might think about getting an old Cat 12 G road grader with a wing or a v plow on it, that way you could use it in the summer to
So glad that you didn't have a worst day than the bad time that you started having out with! Cedar, you have a wonderful sense of humor despite the bad event of the times! You guys are so amazing and we can see how much you are in love with each other and it's enjoyable to see a hard working, family oriented couple! I just talked to my son in Idaho and he told me that school is closed, highways are too & have received about 2ft in the last day and a half or so. I am glad that you are getting more wood to keep you all warm through this next storm. Glad that the solar system is solved along with the water. You definitely have a good day of work just keeping the roads cleared for the family. It looks like the area has a great life saver in you when they have gotten themselves into trouble on the road. Heath, you need to have a better system for two way communication with Cedar than what you have. I would think that it's a necessity for you too. God bless you all and keep warm and safe!
My first bathroom tile job was a screw up but it looked ok. I shipped the tile from Italy with my personal shipment courtesy of US NAVY. Now there are all kinds of materials I see you using to tile that weren't available when I tiled. You make it look easy.
Also, have you thought about using coals in your fire? Here in Wales-UK throughout the day we use wood but at night we put a bed of coles on and it lasts till morning. We then chuck a few peices of wood and it gets going again. Keeps the house lovely and warm throughout the night.
How about an ex military 6x6 truck..... not vastly expensive? Would offer you a platform for a variety of uses. Good luck. Nothing succeeds like your sheer grit & determination! Cedar has now officially become the 4th “emergency service”. Good luck for the year ahead, 🙏👏👍
Hello RPR, I found one of your videos just before Christmas and immediately subscribed and went back to the first video. I have now binged watch 389 of your videos. What you have done is simply amazing. Thank you for taking the time to document your journey and sharing it with us. God bless you and your family.
Omg! Your Black & White fluffy cat looks like my cat’s twin!!
Love your videos❤️
Time for CBs! Great rescue Cedar. Great stories! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Take as many trailer loads of cuts from the mill as you can in future years. You may have cord upon cord halfway up the hill for the taking but it will be a wonderful use of your time to be able to focus on fencing/shop building. Being resourceful with your productive time is self sufficiency at its finest.
Cedar.... love the humor... you all rock. Blessings all ways, Let your Light shine.
Put on your summer work list to weld the rear differential up in that plow truck and find yourself some reflective marking posts so you can mark the worst parts of the road to help not get into that predicament in the worst of times. You could use T posts and add a small plastic or fiberglass reflector post to the top this would show even after heavy snow.
It would be a great idea to toss a snatch block in the back of the Dodge for helping increase the pulling force of the winch, and not rely solely upon the strength of the motor. Use that mechanical advantage to your advantage!
The good thing about this winter is that you won't have to go through it again... it's your first winter, and you've learned a lot. Your whole family has; and that's going to make next winter much easier!
Stay safe the 2 way radios Dennis mentioned would be a great asset to you . You never know what happens in the winter. Take care stay safe.
Get a pallet of pressed logs. Stick them in a warmed woodstove. They burn hot but last longer. Just keep them dry.
I tried to tell you about the fire wood.... I may be disabled and 72 yrs. old but I remember what the home at the to of one of the local canyons needed to keep it warm in the winter.... Better luck next year....
I good front mounted snow blower would work nicely for keeping the roads cleared also
Theres a couple videos on youtube floating around showing how to make a snow plow wing for an existing plow, wing might help push / shelve you windrows after plowing a fresh snow fall before the snow freezes into hard pack.
It looks as though you should consider digging back into the hillside there to widen that stretch of road as soon as you can!
Was thinking how scary that was. I'm with Cedar "don't do that again". Could have been much worse. Put some kind of markers on the edge girth of the curve. I have had friends that actually rolled their car off the edge of a old logging road, up in the mountains where I grew up. Please be careful. Your house is beautiful. The subway tiles look great. I am sure you will get the plowing figured out soon. God bless you and your family.
Amazing the challenges you face. You unshakingly shoulder the warrior role of family provider. Praying for your strength and wisdom.
And that is why there should have been limit poles along both sides of the road...
And a snow blower so you don't need to crowd so close to both sides
if your not planning on putting the plow truck on the main road much I would be welding up the spider gears in that rear end for sure. but don't weld the the spider gears to the axel like my nephew did on one of my old mud trucks. LOL I wish I could tell you to try the tires I have but I dont' know how they would work with snow. but in mud OMG they are the best I have ever had. and seem to work good with sand also.. and let me tell you I have had some good tires they are mud claws extreme MT if you want to look at them
Here in the part of England that we live we don't have anything like the problem that you have with snow, who would be clearing the road if you weren't doing it there seemed to be a heck of a lot. The shortage of firewood is a real problem and the kiln dried wood does burn at a different rate but you seem to be coping, I wish you luck with all the problems that you face. Keep up the good work.
That's great to hear glad everything's going good but I've been running a set of tires for a long time now and I keep going back and buy in the same pair they handle good in the snow they're not loud if you get the EMTs he's there a little louder have been running Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ I have no issues with it I run my own tree service with the truck and trailer not a problem yet very good tires 10 ply on the bottom 6 ply on the sidewall the place looking amazing every time a little more detail you take care of eventually you'll be able to sit back in your rocking chair and relax but I know we're snow coming you can't relaxed you have to get everything done you can before it gets here
Yeah Heath we are on the learning curve here near Idaho Falls. We are running out of room to put the snow that I am plowing. Next year we're going to have to get a snow blower for our 9N tractor.
i feel for you there brother with the snow. we only got less than a 1/2 inch on the ground last night and now gone today in southwest Michigan near the Indiana border and i love it. hate snow. stay safe and warm.
I am new to your channel and not yet living off grid and self sufficient ly. I am learning something every time I watch a video, things to consider and problems to hopefully avoid. We won't have the heavy snowfall you do but always something to learn or think about. Thanks so much for the videos 👍
What a good investment that red plow truck was. Be safe. Really like white subway tile
You need to put a caution marker for day and night in dangerous area of the road. You need an old bulldozer or a front blower to remove the snow. There are front blower that have motor in them. I remember the amount of snow you had last year which reach the top of your gate.
Tell you what I would be looking for just to plow in winter and to use as a onsite dump truck, you wouldn't be able to drive on the roads. Is a old quarry tracked dump truck there's several different sizes from pickup size to dump truck size. And trust me snow isn't gonna stop it and you would be able to get it back where you are wanting to build the cabin. And from doing snow removal myself,that curve start at the high side and work your way down instead of trying to do one side then the other. Another thought if you can find a set of tracks that mount on the trucks turning them into a four track truck i hear they are good in the snow with weight in them.
Glad nothing bad happened. Have to be careful in the snow.
Watching Cedar pull you out reminded of parents so much! Lol!
Edit: Keep a couple snatch blocks in your truck too. It’ll help you get outta some sticky situations with that winch.
Cedar is an amazing woman!! I always admire her.
Wow that’s a lot of snow guys. Praying y’all have a safe winter.
Here in the Netherlands its going to be 11 Celsius (52 F) this week. No snow so far this winter. And nothing on the horizon. Normally it would be around 3 C (37 F).
Cedar: "Don't do that again!" Yeah you better listen to her Heath 😂
Fire hazard! Heath I’ve been worried about the permanent screen you put on your clothes dryer vent. It will collect lint and become a fire hazard. My friend’s house burned down from accumulated lint. I love following you and the family on your journey. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hey! Lube those door hinges! Aren't winches Wonderful? Have Fun! Stay Warm and Cozy........ Nothing like fires in the Stove...
Great job ! Wow the snow is something else! Please be careful!! Bathroom so far looks great!
I’m subbing and watching every ad, you need that heavy duty truck for all this snow. Stay blessed & safe!
a friend of mine has a winch on the front & BACK of his truck. Sometimes it gets bad & you need it.
The bathtub surround is looking good. Can't wait to see it finished.
HI-JACK ....farmer jack....can pull like a winch. Use them many times to get out of a ditch when plowing before I got a winch.
Come-a-long works great too, still don't have a winch on my car trailer LOL, I'm reminded of that every time I have to go recover a dead vehicle. I think a Badlands winch with battery box and a 2" receiver sleeve on the trailer deck would be a great investment.
Well, as you said, you have figured out so many other obstacles so far; this road issue is only one more. I am confident you and the family will figure it all out. In the meantime, the snow could not be more beautiful if it tried. The bathroom tile looks great! Glad you are safe and that you did not roll the truck. Have a safe and wonderful week. Blessings to Red Poppy Ranch.
Living at RPR is not for the faint of heart nor for anyone who can't deal with a whole lot of snow. Loved the video and the way you two work together. Peace.
FYI. I have been looking at these old Willys Jeeps. After WWII they were made to be like Swiss Army knives. They have a PTO that allows all sorts of farm and road attachments. From back hoe to snow blower. If you’ve got time give them a look and see if there right for you.
Looks like it may be time to get a locker for the plow truck
Yes , the rear driver wheel was not turning. 4x4 means 4 wheels and only one front and one back are driven. So it's really two wheel drive. Funny tho it should be limited slip.
Snow needs tall and narrow tires.....think Model-T ford...which rear axle was a worn gear and would hold like a winch when stopped.
Think you need a snowblower on the front end and put markers along the road before the snow fall start to Gide you when plowing/Snow blowing!
Such a different set of worries for you guys with all of the snow and cold weather. I live in south Alabama and today our high is 77 degrees F. It is actually suppose to be in the 70's all week and I will probably be running my AC some of those days.
I think you guys need to install Long tall bright colorful poles there as Markers n also Cut into Hillside to Widen the Road for Safety.
Going to have to get rid of some dirt on that 'S' curve come late spring, and you sure could use that excavator then, and even now. Just about getting to time you'll need to snowblow that road too, if it stays cold like it is, hope you got some chains for the tractor, and while that will be slow going, it will help throwing it away from the road..just stay away from that curve!
Really glad you are ok. Stay safe.
A bigger snow plow that can throw a good distance, or a snow blower unit. It is getting again like last year where there is nowhere for the snow to go. Got to find a way to get it off the side of the road too.
When the ground thaws... get a couple dozen 3 foot tall fiberglass sticks with round reflectors on top of them to stick on the inside of that curve and you’ll never go beyond the safety zone again. Cheap and easy. Good recovery! 👍👍
Glad you could get the plow truck out. Love that Cedar didn’t even bat an eye when you asked for a hand. Man that’s a lot of snow.
Looking forward to the bath reveal. Keep warm, stay safe. Have a good week.
seems like something any decent wife would do
Oh man! You are running out of road really quickly. You need to think about a tractor with a blower to open up that road wider.
Loving the videos. Beautiful job with the house.
here's a suggestion on getting a truck unstuck on a slope. I always use a cum-a-long or a rope tied to the back hitch on the truck and to a tree uphill or another truck as an anchor when pulling others out forwards (or vice-versa pulling the other way) this will keep the back end of the stuck truck from falling further down the slope and it will pull the back end sideways uphill under tension. I have done this many times hunting on the back roads of southwest Montana. good luck with your adventures.
@22:05 .. I can see that you have a good eye for bringing up tiles the right way to a corner like around your bathtub! Big thumbs up for this job, really! Especially the integrated shelves are an eyecatcher! You can be proud! I am pleased to have such videos on youtube, where I can see that there still people exist who know what they are doing! I like this very much! Thank you or your effort and time to make your videos, and for sharing your experience with us! This makes you great! As a teacher and as an entertainer.
A long carpet runner makes good instant traction. You can either run a chain from it to the truck and drag it once you get moving or drive a couple spikes through it into the ground to keep it in place.
While Watching this video, all I can think is, how cold it looks! Can’t wait to see the finished tubs!
Make sure you run less tire pressure during snow mud and sand. You have the right tire just too much pressure in them.
After how many accidents and close calls I'd say it's time to fix the road.
As a person who's been a tow driver and first responder for 20+ years get a snatch block as well as a tree trunk saver and a recovery kit for the trucks also get a 2 way radio when ur out so if needs be ur better half come collect u sir hope everything is going well sir
I know you don't like advice, as a old Ford tech I will give it anyway. Check to see if you have positraction front and rear differentials, this can easily be done with a floor jack. All you need to change them over is a positraction carrier from a junk yard not the whole differential. You can use your old ring gear from your truck. I have done this several times and the traction increase is like night and day. I also worked at a Myers snowplow dealer for several years. The mold board (people call them just plow) looks like a 7 1/2 foot but it's hard to tell on camera. If you do I would get a 8 foot, the F 250 will handle it with easy. In the video you can see the snow falling back behind the plow into the front tires. This can cause you problems in turns as this effect in increased. All you really need is just the mold board and cutting edge as your A frame and sector should bolt to it (very old plows are not the same size as newer ones). Last, it looks like you short chained the pump. This can cause you problems as the full weight of the plow may not always be on the road. This also causes the ram to bottom in the pump case. While the case very heavy it still is aluminium and can crack.
0:56 What an amazing view.
BRRRRR! I love the snow, but the problems of maintaining that road makes me chill.Be careful and may the plow be with you...!
