Building A Cordwood Log Cabin | Episode : 00 | off grid remote hand built mortgage free
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
We are building a remote, off grid log cabin on our property. We are doing it all ourselves, by hand. The method is known as stack wall, stove wood masonry, cord wood building and other names. This is mortgage free and debt free. We use trees that we harvest from our property. Mostly white pine and some red pine. We use lime putty mortar, an ancient building technique. This is the first episode...

Unclogging Massive Culvert | Beaver Dam | Dirty Job
มุมมอง 22Kปีที่แล้ว
One man toils to open a massive culvert clogged with a robust beaver dam. This took place over a couple days. this is not my job and I am not paid to address this culvert. It is, however, in my vested interest to not see this culvert overwhelmed. Spring melt and recent rains have allowed the beaver to build higher than ever before. Let us know in the comment section if you have a better techniq...

Back out to the beaver dam for round 2. He built the dam back up in short order but it is far less reinforced. Armed with shovel and rake we once again dismantle the dam and gain a foothold for future operations Sadly, high, rushing water put the camera in peril and I had to tend to it several times. 15:42.

This video is of a couple people pulling apart a beaver dam by hand. This beaver dam has been here for a while. It is at the back of a property and is killing large fir and spruce trees. It is almost a mile hike to get to it. I chose to take a come-along and grapple as opposed to a hand tool for the hike. It has significant amount of living roots, moss and earth as a foundation. The grappling h...

Part 2: Breaking up beaver dams with log loader
มุมมอง 190K5 ปีที่แล้ว
SHAKE WARNING!!! Breaking up a dam with a log loader. Trying to balance a phone with one hand while running two handed controls for the loader.
Tienen que hacer un curso No tienen la paciencia de la otra pareja y queda a medias el trabajo
great idea for the log loader! man, i could have used that this summah! awesome video! good luck!
Great job you save the forest thanks!!
Removing the sticks and debris on top first would have made the tasks much easier. I see a lot of struggles to pull sticks embedded at the bottom of the dam
hello Joanne. I can see why you would say that. We try to prevent the water overflow as long as possible. Once the flow begins, it is so strong that it is difficult to see and reach through. It also can wash away your footing. It would certainly be nice to be able to start at the top. Thanks for watching.
Tough work isn’t it. Thanks for the video. 👍👍😊
Hard work indeed. Yet, quite satisfying. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Great job and good motivation thanks!!
Hello again my friend. As long as the beaver keeps coming back, we'll be motivated to save our land.
Super job thanks!!
Thanks goes to you for watching! Sure wish that was my machine! What a fantastic tool.
Nice to see you back.
You men are good examples of what teamwork can do.

Sì, davvero goffo. Stivali goffi e terreno irregolare non sono utili.
Leave the wife at home !
Do you have the mean’s to make one out of a pitchfork?
Great suggestion. I do have some old broken pitchforks. We will see if we can breathe some new life into them.
I enjoyed your Video :)
Thanks for watching.
Next time try a Potato Rake it will work better than the short tooth rake :)
Yes it does seem like a superior tool. We do not have a potato rake for now. We harvest our potatoes by hand. We will search our tool shed for something similar until we can find one. We have big rains coming in the next few days. We will need to open it up again afterwards.
Round 2 of tearing the beaver dam apart with hand tools th-cam.com/video/AeHb4HE6rag/w-d-xo.html
Cool video. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for watching. Will do. Hoping to get it much wider next time.
Full length version here: th-cam.com/video/AeHb4HE6rag/w-d-xo.html
I would suggest taking 2 potato rakes and a shovel,and storing them near the beaver dam so you do not have to carry them out there each time.
We just finished up another that is much more climactic. It will take a couple days before it can be uploaded. Great suggestion to leave some tools nearby. Hopefully the little bugger won't find them and weave them into his dam. We were really surprised at the size of the logs the little guy could move into place.
LOL that would me something to see if they could weave the tools into the dam. Terrell Spivey leaves hi tools nearby, he has a number of beaver dams he works on.
It is truly amazing not only the width but the length of the trees that they are capable of using. .They move the logs by using the water to float them in place. Watching them manuver and repeatably shove, push them into place using their mouths is incredible.
Was able to load sped up version of yesterday's removal. Leaving property in a few days and will upload full version.
Check out these TH-cam channels: Terrell Spivey, Gene Plumley and post10. Each of these channels focus on pulling a beaver dam manually with great success, using tools like potato rakes, shovel, saw, axe and techniques like flowing water to help wash mud and dirt. Each channel also shows how to film for great watching views! I look forward to following your channel.
Thanks for checking us out and for some great advice.
Great job thanks!! Save the forest!!
Glad your enjoyed it. Heading back to do another area. Appreciate the watch.
I enjoyed the first part of the video, watching you dismantle the dam , and then I kept waiting for a potato rake or shovel to open the dam, but poking the dam with a stick, boring. No disrespect intended.
Thanks for the feedback. We will take that into consideration for the next portion.
th-cam.com/video/AeHb4HE6rag/w-d-xo.html We brought tools this time... Much better results. Increased potential for excitement.
I tried to watch your video but it was just impossible to try to focus because of the bouncing. If I ever see another of your videos pop up I will try again. Hopefully your videoing improves.
Got a new one posted. Much less shakey. th-cam.com/video/8njIuspQ8mw/w-d-xo.html
Beavers are essential for stream health and keeping the waters moving more slowly, saturating the banks, minimizing erosion, increasing riparian plant life and extending the months that the stream flows which increases fish populations. A lot of restoration efforts have been made, successfully, with the reintroduction of beavers; even in very arid places such as Nevada and Arizona. I’m not sure why you’re doing that but if that’s your land, you might want to consider what an asset they are and how they benefit other many other species and improve the quality of your land. Hope you will..🙏
Lots of info. Thanks. I'm sure it's wonderful for Arizona and Nevada. Here in Maine, we have rivers, streams, ponds and other waterways riddled throughout the land. This empties into wetlands. Thanks for watching.
Too much coffee this morning ? That's one shakey camera.
Hey James. It's the camera dude, not me, I swear. It's maddening
A little too much coffee this morning ?
OMG - I want one, they're so cute!!
Hey there Crystal! Please private message your phone number. We'd love to catch up. Hope you are grand. Indeed grand here
Do you ever remove some of the beavers
Were the beaver's filming this for their home owner's insurance?
Yes and they had been drinking beforehand
Reminds me of the claw game at some of the restaurants LOL
Recording during an earthquake; impressive.
Oh yeah. Risking life and limb! Ha ha My camera work has greatly improved. Not many have trained through an earthquake!
Crap camera work.
Filmed by the beaver.
Now that they got the dam busted up. Let's get some traps and kids with .410 shotguns down there to make sure the crap stays busted up. Wipe them out or do it again in a few weeks or months. That is the only way to stop the damage they cause with their dams.
That log loader is seriously under powered.
Agreed. But I'm thankful for using it, too much for removing by hand

Great Video even with the jerky jerky camera play! Make another!😆🔥
Sack the camera man
See if you had something there that would mulch mulch all that up they couldn't take what you already taken out and put it back if you mulch it up somebody needs to invent a mulcher with sparkles on them and you put it down in there and mulch all that up and keep it marked up around there they wouldn't have any materials to build a damn or for it to stop up drains or anything else for that matter there's too many lazy people out there who haven't figured that out yet instead they just keep working on the problem and they think killing the animal is the best but it's not God intended for the animal to stay here on Earth not to be extinct and not to be killed me personally I think if you had a mulcher they put all that mess out and mulch it all up the beaver couldn't make a damn with mulch it's already chopped up and if you kept it cleaned up around there mulch down every year or right at when it starts turning cold and it ain't like season you might even keep the snakes down but that's me hallelujah amen God bless stay safe from the coronavirus amen again
Great idea. We have one now that we have to do by hand. No machinery can get in. Starting to thaw now. Hope to do it soon
Good job
Thank you. Wish that was my machine! It makes quick work of that pile
Good job
Video skills suck.
Could you possibly shake the camera a little harder for me. I'm not quite sick to my stomach......yet!
Good. Other type of work th-cam.com/users/shortsxikrlbOQAaE
They cause such damage, good deeds!
I liked the crocodile watching you remove the dam....
Just watched again to see what you were referring to. That's fantastic!
Such poor filming.
Oh my gosh hold the camera still. Soared to watch
Wow the music is perfect! Thank you , now I can enjoy this video
Don’t worry about the complaints, some people would gripe if they were hung with a new Rope
Log loader works great for these projects
Agreed!
I would suggest that you invite all of the complainers to ME so that they can do the next You went to the creek to clean out the beavers & you did
I will have you all know. It isn't very easy to get video THIS GOOD when your cameraman is the Beaver. I thought he did pretty good job for a woodchuck.
