Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc
Amazing. You did a fantastic job. The spruce is so very useful...! Tree on roof is a "worst night mare" but you solved every challenge. Must persevere and keep our sense of humor.
I'm so glad there was not more damage. Thank God. I enjoyed watching you think through the repair. Thanks for including me, and God bless you both
Best part of the whole video was the comment from Connie,
"STRIKE ONE" LOL !!!
Your bush knowledge and ingenuity paid off for u once again,great job Lonnie 👍👍
Great job. Very inventive way of solving the problem. Looks real good. God bless you and Connie.
Glad your Friends Alerted You To The Situation, Great Repair, Lonnie & Connie. ATB T God Bless
You did good, and you made a movie - very cool! I hate ladders. Thanks Lanny and Connie!
The life you guys live is so free and unencumbered by the craziness for the world.
It’s absolutely incredible to watch.
This shows how much of a problem solver and, skills needed for a person to live independently in the great north. Your a master Lonnie!
Lonnie, you're BRILLIANT!!! Great job!
Lonny if you ever want to make a new piece of wood look like it's old and weathered. Just take some steel shavings and place them in vinegar for and hour. Then strain it take the vinegar and wipe on or brush on. It will turn gray quickly. God bless
Good Lord, life could be rough when you go at it alone. I am surprised you had help to get out there, but no one was willing to stay and help you lift that heavy 2x6 up in place. But as usual, Lonnie handles the crisis with dignity and resolve. Good job sir! Well done!
That was amazing watching you figure out how to do this job. A job well done.
Glad you have good neighbors who are willing to lend a helping hand! So glad it was fixable! The slide jack was a great lesson! I'll remember that one! God Bless You & Connie! Have a great spring!
Lonnie and Ms. Connie ... EXCELLENT backwoods repair. Ingenious!!! Better video!!! Enjoyed it immensely!!! Love y’all and your videos!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good; take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas, USA. 🤠🐩🖖✝️🙏☃️👍👍👍
Good job, friend. Your fast forward commentary had me in stitches, too.
Notice some advice to cut down all the nearby trees for prevention. See you not doing it. Wise man.
That is the way it began in my country. Now, there are no trees left, just houses and concrete and cars and pollution. Stay free.
Longtime viewer here, Just noticed your early videos have been viewed MILLIONS of times. Bravo, your channel is like "New Yankee Workshop" meets the wilderness with a microbudget. I love it. Also love how you don't litter the channel with advertising and product reviews. Keep on keeping on!
Not for me, I became cold just watching this. I admire your pluck.
I can't start to imagine how demanding it must have been to work with all the warm clothing and snow, but Lonnie was up to the challenge. I have a feeling that he has seen other challenges! ;-) Kudos from Canada. Darn right ! When there is a will, there is a way. We have the same saying in french and it goes like this : "Quand on veut, on peux"... Cheers and thanks for all your videos. In addition to being entertaining, we get to learn A LOT! Thanks again ! -dan
Sure am glad the cabin didnt take a worse lick great job with that slide jack and those clamps really good idea
Glad the damage was only cosmetic, and that the interior of the cabin stayed sound. Great solution and jack idea. And Connie's filming was excellent! Great job guys!
Pines are notorious for blowing over. It’s nice to have trees close enough to the house for shade, but not so close to fall on it. You got off relatively easy. Thank God.
Now I am starting to think how I'm going to cut down every tree in the falling range of my cabin, even though I don't have one... Yet!
Glad that you don't have any heavy damage on the roof!
Great job Lonnie! Great video Lonnie and Connie. Y’all stay warm.
If I live closer I would come help y’all with stuff like that if y’all needed it!
Its hard work but I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way. The amount of people that wish they could live this lifestyle is really multiplying and your videos are greatly indepth so anyone could do it! Keep living the dream
I think clamping the roof that was bowed upward , down to the 2x6 was a much better choice than trying to jack the 2x6 up. Clearly the plywood was warped upward.
Great job improvising Lonnie 👍👍
The slide jack is ingenious!
Improvise, adapt, overcome. Well done.
Dear Friend. What a task the storm has messed you up, even if you have been able to fix it and it hasn't been complicated, with so much snow it's a bit difficult to work. I'm very glad you made it. Greetings from Madrid
Great video Lonnie! You are a very smart guy! I love these kinds of videos, thank you for sharing with us!
Lonnie good job! Necessity is the mother of invention with your slide jack. Working by yourself you got it done.
Good job Lonnie. It was interesting to see how you solved this problem. Hugs to Connie. God bless.💖
#Amen Really enjoyed this video! #High5Blessins you were able to put your experiences to use to fix the roof!
Luv the long beard and Red Boots Totally Rockin A Fashion Trend!
very creative and glad there wasn't more damage- lots of work with just the two of you.
Wonderful job...and interesting solutions for the problem! I am always learning from you!
Big hug to you both from across the Great Pond!
Wow, really fantastic idea with this "sly jack-stand"! Especially with this plank on the bottom! Very intelligent! God bless!
Pretty good job of "Jerry rigging" there Lonnie. Clever way of solving the problem.
Glad you managed to fix it without too much bother. Your attitude is inspirational. Wishing you well.
Awesome job, that's great that you came up with a solution to hold that up.
Hello Lonnie n Connie… I love how you guys always figure things out… and how you make do with simple things. We enjoy watching your channel so very much. God bless and thanks for the great entertainment. 💕👌🙏😇🇨🇦 LilliStJohn
First a bear, now a tree. Maybe the bear knocked over the tree to try and get in. Lol. At least the tree didn’t do too much damage. Seemed like an easy repair. Great slide jack idea. You and Connie stay safe and be well. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the "slide jack" solution Lonny. "Where there is a will, there is a way", but sometimes we have to ponder for a spell to come up with the "way" part. Great video, and great example of self-reliance rather than "let George do it".
God's inspiration for sure. Be blessed.
Your best tool is the one on your shoulders. Great job
Lovely to see you both again and love what you do . It's also good to see that there are good people out there to keep an eye out and offer help when it is needed. A good lesson for everyone. Stay safe , Jim
Thanks to distress my confined weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay well L&C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky,
no serious damage, strong cabin so...
Have long.
Alaska keeps you young. That’s for sure. Good work :). More than half the kids these days don’t know what it’s like to have callus on their hands and the meaning of hard work.
Great idea coming up with that "Slide Jack", worked pretty slick. Great Video Lonnie. You and Connie take care.
Heart breaking to see that tree on the roof. Yet you made lemonade from the lemons. Nicely done.
I thought for sure you were going to use a bottle jack on the base, Nope. Slide jack, I will remember that one.
Glad it all worked out for you.
Rocky mountain roofjack. Good job.
Neighbors helping neighbors. The tree is off and damage is fixed, now for some of Connie’s cooking. Blessings....Peace.
That's how country folk tick and get things done 👍.You and the Mrs be safe.
Hi from UK!👋 when there isnt a 9foot bigfoot handy to hold your roof up, use a slide jack!! Ingenius!!👍
We call your "slide jack" a "dead man". Multiple uses for it! You did good, Lonnie. Saved the day!
Up here, what we call a "deadman" is a short length of log or branch that has a rope tied to the middle and is buried in snow, dirt or sand to use as an anchor for something such as a tent.
Up in Canada a "dead man" is what the wife would call you if she finds you at another women's house! 😁😎
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Down here, snow is rare. No matter the use or what we call it, it sure does come in handy at times. . . If you have enough common sense to use it. You, Lonnie, I still say, saved the day that one!
Very ingenious, glad it all worked out.
Dear L and C. Just saying hi. Haven’t seen you in awhile. Sending love your way. I get peace and tranquillity at night by watching your old videos. Your voice is my friend. Always thinking of you. D🤙🇺🇸
I have always said the day I don't learn something new is the day I will die. I come here to learn about survival, but this video isn't about that. You have, however, saved my life today. Need to start a nail but have to hold onto something with one hand? Look at what Lonnie did here. He wrapped his hand over the top of the hammer and held the nail between his fingers with the head of the nail against the side of the hammer. Then he just sort of slapped the board with this arrangement. It was enough to start the nail. With that much snow, unless you have a reliable method like this, you are going to lose a lot of nails.
Thanks Lonnie.
Glad you fixed it using Yankee ingenuity! You have good friends and neighbors.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed" and "Many hands make light work".
Happy you're both well ❤️
This is a good one, because you are faced with an actual challenge and you demonstrate how to deal with it logically. You also look like a Fiddler on the Roof, which makes it even more entertaining to me. :-)
Nice work Lonnie.
That some good ol' ingenuity. Great job
A great on the roof. It's great to have friends that helped you to get out there.
Great job. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad the damage was minimal. Good lessons: If there’s a will there’s a way and “simple tools” work. I really enjoy your videos and love the beautiful scenery in which you live in. Enjoy Connie’s recipes. Keep going!!
Well done Lonnie, thanks for sharing the trials of Bush life!
Lonnie and Connie, thanks for sharing, great job , the last four letters in American are " I can " God bless !
Great work and job done Lonnie ! im glad it wasn't a herendas mess , time to look at all the current threats around the cabin . blessings to the woman behind the scenes !
Very Clever Repair! Well Done. 👍🏻 Really impressed with the improvised “sliding jack”.
Great great job!
Well thought out!
Well planned!
Well executed!
Made some lemonade out to that winterized lemon!
God bless you both!
Hoping not much damage
And easily repairable if any damage is present
Lonnie & Connie have yourself a wonderful night
Thanks Connie and Lonnie, for another great video of good repair practical sense!
Well done young man . Happy Trails
Great perseverance payed off! Way to go Lonnie and Connie! Stay safe
Another great video from the teacher.
Nice repair job, buddy. When the going gets tough, the tough get going!!
Great fix! from pulling down the tree to use of the "slide jack". Looks good, by next year no one will be able to tell anything happened! Take care Lonnie and Connie! Nice to have friendly folk around to help you get there, too. And you can cut that dead spruce up and get some heat out of it in the cabin! HA HA
Great job buddy...thank god every thing is Okay now 💜🙏🏼
Glad you got it fixed
Nice job Lonnie! Maybe throw a few stringers in between the new board and the side of the house on the underside of the roof to give the overhang a little more strength?
That is sure a fast vehicle you have!
As the Boss of the Swamp would say "Thats just good backwoods logic"
Lonnie - you are amazing - You're right "Where's there a will there's a way" Cheers!
Once again brute force out does science and engineering! 😉
And the extended pole/lever/fulcrum did the job for you.
Excellent job Lonny, be safe, stay healthy, God Bless everyone!
Came to see the Arctic Cat sawhorse in action. Was not disappointed.
Thank goodness the damage was fairly minor. Good job dealing with this.
Glad you could get things fixed up and at least get a nice video out of your troubles. God bless you both!
That's a bummer for the cabin but I'm glad you got off that roof safely
Good work. I'm glad the damage was only slight. I didn't see Connie there cooking you her special meals. I hope she is doing well. Looking forward to the next video.
Молодец, отлично починил, жалко что дерево упало в шторм и крышу повредило!Ремонт отличный! 🏕️👏💪🏼👌👍🏾👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽🤝🙏🔥По нашему 🤝🇷🇺🇨🇦👍🏻
Connie...strike 1...lol . there something to be said for a man thats good with his hands. Good stuff and helped saved the sleeping flies...lol stay safe guys. Glad it was minimal damage.
Nice job old man! I say that with the deepest respects.
Great backwoods engineering! Thanks for sharing, blessings to you and Connie.
Omfgg 😥. Awesome repair job Lonnie and Connie 👍, it Awesome to have great friends to lend a hand 🙏🙏
So sorry for what happened I wish you both a huge amount of good luck🍀🍀🍀🍀and all the best. Greetings from Zürich🇨🇭
Glad that there wasn't too much damage. Great that your friends discovered this early on so you could react quickly. Be safe out there! God Bless.
Well done lonnie. Good improv. Glad you sustained only minor damage. Great video.
Greets again from Hamburg in Germany. As a facility manager with NO cabin experiance- I allways say that all trees must be fallen that can hit a cabin. There is no reason to let trees stand if they can harm or destroy a cabin. The extra work of repearing is to much...Frank
and Europe has few trees
@@survivortechharold6575 more trees then peoples...
I really respect you putting up with the snow. I live in south Texas and don't like to work outside when it is in the 40s. Love your videos.
See this is why we should of listened to our great grandfather's. They all said " boy if it moves shoot it and if it don't chop it down". They never had tree's on there roofs. Hahaha . Good job mate now go and chop them other tree's that are a threat 😃
I'm glad to see you got that fixed Lonnie. Pretty smart maneuvering there. If it was me, Trump and around in that deep snow, trying to take a limb off of there, cold, I would have been cussing, in other words you did a lot better than I would have as far as keeping a good attitude about it. Good job brother. See you on the next one
