The Little Iron Horse Goes Logging

- Julia gets our Canadian horse Mec into the harness and the little iron horse goes logging. If you get a chance, research the Canadian horse a bit and discover why they are known as the little iron horse. They can do it all, and Julia finally gets the opportunity to prove that our Canadians can haul firewood logs.
We don't have the right harness yet but this settles it, horse logging has moved way up on our project list. The advantage goes to the horse when their are no roads for equipment or a truck to use. Given that we are surrounded by forest, horse logging will be a very fun, active way to get a few milling logs and fill our woodshed.

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy went home, but the little iron horse goes logging.... Make sense? You must be one of us...Congratulate yourself with a pat on the back and wee subscription to Gridlessness.
He's so fat and out of shape......I wasn't sure who she was talking about at first.
This sure brought back good memories. My grandmother farmed 80 acres with one horse named Queenie. Queenie pulled the plow in the spring, the sythe in the fall and hauled logs in the winter. Queenie could be hitched to the draw chains on a log in the bush, then told to go home on her own. My grandmother would keep an eye out for Queenie, go out of the farmhouse, unhitch the log then send the horse back on her own. That horse was what kept food on the table and a fire in the old cookstove.
Every video on the internet should start with Rose's smile. The world would be a better place!
👍
Happy life. You can see it on all of them.
Rich Wicklund indeed!
Rich Wicklund i agree with you bro!
May God protect this family from the evil's eye..amin
Hahaha.. I just noticed there is a piece of glass separating the two of them while they sit and narrate the video! Hahah! You guys are hilarious.
Yea, last couple vids have been like that because of covid19.
Rember... when you were a child, and your parents told you we are going to granny's house. That is how it feels when I get a new video from the world's best family, Gridlessness! I want to gift all the girls with a nugget of knowledge... Texas cowboy science says; Smooth is strong... Rigging breaks on a jerk, ( that's why people are a jerk when they do wrong things), slowly ease into the pull intensify the energy so points of stress are not over-loaded by inertia, and not actual load. Breaking, catastrophically, has potential to harm equipment, people, and feelings. ( Yea, I saw how Juilia looked when the rig broke the second time ) Don't get me wrong, I would rather have these 5 kittens than 5 burly Bobs for my logging needs anytime, cuz these girls have heart!. Thank you for sharing during these shut-in times. Agappe love, Richard.
Worklion that’s like towing a car. Build tension slowly. But a good reminder.
I love this family so much,,,a work for one is a work for everyone's even they all girls💖💖💖💖💖💖💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Girl power at it's finest 👍
i love this....so happy...the realy live..
@@jimhardesty2012 under protection of Dad👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️
Like Jeff mentioned that harness is for driving a wheeled vehicle. Pulling harness has a triple thick tug and a neck collar. Not that you can’t use the driving harness,you just have to take it easy as you found out. I started just like Julia with a light harness and had the same setbacks. Keep at it anything that is done with horses is worth it.
I always cringe when I see someone make one of those angled back cuts haha
terrible back cut someone will get hurt if he keeps cutting like that
Yup ...horizontal back cut much safer
Yeah that's major cringe material. The notch cut is also way too deep.
I cant say enough how much i enjoy your family. How you get every one involved in every thing that needs to be done. It may be work but you have fun doing it. You and Rose dont shut down the kids dreams you help them grow them. Just awesome.
if you going to do much heavy work you will need collar, hames and chain traces. probaly should also add breaching and back straps.
Good girls helping to your family..
Pa shot out.. Im from Phillipines.
I really enjoy your videos
Watching from Philippines🇵🇭
I admire this whole crew, girls, you have done a fabulous job raising Jeff and Rose!!! Seriously, you are a great crew, all with a great deal of talent and responsibility!! You seem to have a great life. God bless.
The glass between Jeff & Dave was a nice touch.😆
Those girls are getting the best life. It is great to see this.
This channel continues to grow.👍
You should have Dave make a sled for skidding logs behind the horse!
I like to watch video clips of you all from Thailand. 😁😁
Wow! I wish you lived a little closer, I have a shed full of horse tack including at least 2 sets of complete harness that you could use. Since that buggy harness is way too light, you could try using a cinch from your saddle as a breast collar and use light chain or climbing rope for tugs, proper tugs for logging should be about 4 inches wide and 4 layers of heavy leather thick.
Believe the girls can do just about anything and everything under the sun while having a boat load of fun
you guys need a course in back woods harness repair! a roll of electrical tape or duct tape is quick and it works ! just sayin love your videos .BTW nice divider between you and dave
Love this channel btw...from newfoundland
Still my fave channel, family and ...well, everything. Brightens my day when you poke your heads up. Thank you all. And yes; that little horse is FAT, not "fluffy" =;-))
I love them watching whole day such a lovely family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
At 10k altitude in Colorado you need 6 full cords of wood for the winter. I suspect you need 8?
The best vlog and channel that I ever subscribe so far for me, eagerly waiting to see every new video...Guys, please do upload more often, your family is a kinda medicine to me.worth watching every movement that you made. Much love
Wow..keren friend😍♥️👍👍😊🙏
Almost something new in each new video.....and I've loved each and every one! Thank you wonderful family!!!!!! and Dave!
Love the video. I’ve skidded logs with horse’s before it good fun great exercise and the wood warms you twice. Remember to stay safe it can be very dangerous. Great family working together. 👍
I just found your channel yesterday. I'm very impressed by your daughters abilities.
You guys are Amazing.. I just enjoying watching.. Keep it up...
Thanks for the new chapter 😊 i enjoy it,:)
So nice of Rose to encourage Jeff by revealing a nice set of jackets!😉
And what kind of person could ever thumb down these gals. I tell ya what kind. Jealous haters.
master craftsman Dave your unquestionable talent is needed in fabricating a logging sled for the girls to use in conjunction with the hossy
Hi...im from indonesia...💕
😂😂So sorry I can’t horse log cause I live in a condo in a city. How ever we use to do sheep herding as a child on a sheep farm in the semi dessert area called Small Karoo in South Africa
Have your girls look up logging sleds, it will reduce drag and lighten the load for the horse. I would think two straps wrapped in cloth might be good for a less spendy harness.
I was watching your video again to see how you could have kept the harness fro snapping. I remember when I used to go to pony pulls as a teen and the driver was always able to ease the team into the load. Most of the time you had your horse snap the load like you would if you were getting a vehicle unstuck. Just a thought Julia. 😎👍👍⛄🐎🇺🇸
Learning skills like harness maintenance and making would be a useful skill in many different odd things. Letting your girls go through the process of repair, replacement and even remaking an entire harness setup is good practice.
Your videos are amazing and fun. You have a wonderful family! Thank you for taking the time to share your lives. This is way better then watching "Little House on the Prairie" reruns!
Thanks!
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
I like the way you tied the head horse.
You guys have kinda natural sense of humor just cool and clean way of doin it, and of course a lovely family and friends.
Their dead...but this one's deader!
You got ya a one horse-power logging machine going there!
And four girl-power logging machine too :)
Y'all are an amazing family. Such a joy to watch. Having fun no matter the project. Thanks for sharing . Stay safe up there! 😎👍👍🇺🇸
Good job girls...👍👍
Still watching from Philippines..😷😷
fantastic horse, it did not even jump after the leather ripped!!!
Rtb...my favorite kind of wood...ready to burn😁
Saya sangat suka keluarga ini meski saya tidak mengerti bahasannya hehehe
I will waiting New video of the Sahra when I see you again Sahra
Like your family form India..👍🥰
I'm from Pakistan and love you Sahra like u
hahaha, i luv how dad defends pony/horse from fat shaming. hahahaha
When you go from static to dynamic loads on that harness, you enter a whole new world of stress.
Maybe you could cut them to length, then pull them onto the path, one at a time, and at that point you could bundle 2 or 3 together and pull them to where you're going to process? There wouldn't be that tugging going on anymore.
Great stuff though.
Men I salute to you you make your daughters I fine fine woman I hope one day I teach also my two daughters the way you teach your daughters and we are again one family
Looks like the girls should use Jeff as a horse so he can lose his winter fluff 😜
Bro you have a great bunch of daughters !
Big fun, Dave carries your commentary, I love it.
Great video to start the day!! I enjoyed it.
More hunting videos, please!! Watching the girls hunting was great; the black bear video with your wife was excellent.
Nice to see Dave - great social distance ;)
I wish you and Rose had been my parents.
Julia is so sweet absolutely adorable, I’ve been married nine yrs unfortunately I can’t have children only through IVF because I had cancer, if we do ever have children I hope they’re just like yours beautifully rounded and thoughtful, you’re truly blessed to have such an amazing family they make me proud and I’m just a new viewer (Dan Hurd videos) from across the planet in Australia 🇦🇺 so I can’t imagine how you feel about them they’re gorgeous all of them even 🌹
Thank you for your kind comment. Life has its ups and downs and I'm hoping that you have a run of "ups". Blessings to you and yours today!
Have you gott that harness issue fix by now? I'm not an expert, but I think they usually use thicker harnesses for logging.
Yes, Julia got a proper pulling harness!
You guys got to have a 4 wheeler there some where , much easy er
14:10 somebody get that work horse a carrot!
U family is amazing.. Thanks for sharing ❤
I had to comment. Cheers to you guys. I am assuming you are in the interior of BC.
If we are neighbors of sorts. great video.
Thanks so much!
Every girls is so cute and sweet I love all 😘.
Are they greatest family ever or what ?
Love this family amd their lifestyle, keep doing more videos, you are exceptional and inspire us a lot. I am dreaming a lifestyle in the future atleast close to yours.🤩😁
i like this family, teamwork and very happy
GOOD MORNING FAMILY 👍👏👏💚🎼🎶
Shawn James would've carried that himself. No horses! 😂😂😂 Love the video's! Keep them coming!
Mec is a great name . Does it stand for something? Love to watch all you guys. What a great family.
It turns out 15:00 you became an untamed bull Jeff.😂😂
Those girls need to get to making more spoons! They could sell every one they made I'm sure. I would have taken a maple and also the cherry coffee! Beautiful!!!
Good friends 😊👍👍👍👍💪💪 I'm from Indonesia 💗💗💗
You guys have too much FUN!
I think you should get shirts made that say, "Do you even log, bro?" Also, I love the plexi separating Dave and Jeff. That was an especially nice touch! Love seeing all the different skills the girls are developing and how you all work together to get stuff done.
I like your shirt idea! lol
Família unida e vamos ao trabalho
I can only imagine what the dog was thinking while dad was pulling that log.
One of my favorite channel
How do you get thumbs down? Wow.
Dried out old leather...... I know your pain!
I was just thinking about where is new post
That horse is sure willing
Que hermoso se ve ése panorama que rico es vivir en tierra fría
Dios los bendiga
Y los acompañe siempre
Finally!! A new video from my favorite family! Been missing you guys. Thanks for the upload. Take Care, Stay Safe, Be Well, Mac from Georgia
You guys are just awesome...pure awesone, best family...when you post videos it just brighten my day...
You have a dam good horse there
You guys are just such an inspiration and hope!! Much love ❤️❤️
Horses Run on grassoline!
Winter is my favorite time to get wood... Don't get dirt all up in the bark pulling logs, much nicer and cleaner
This is by far my favorite content provider on TH-cam. I don't know how you do not have 1,000,000+ followers!!
Watch rural heritage on TH-cam, it may help lots about horse power. That's a good little horse, and your family is delightful.
Duh, took me till 12 mins into the video to notice the screen between you two jokers!!!Awesome!!! Another great video, thanks to all of you. cheers
I think you should be using chain instead of leather straps.
Chains on the horse could cause injury, as they said they just need a logging harness and a pully would also help for using the horse to stage the logs (all about the angles)
Love your family!
Great video as always - greetings from the south Okanagan. My late father grew up farming with horses and talked about certain horses that liked to pull and would sometimes break the stitching on the collar if they were overloaded. Dad told of getting in trouble with his father blowing the collar apart pulling either hay or stones off the field. We had horses for 17 years, but I never tried to get them to pull anything other than our girls on a toboggan. Anyways, stay well up there guys and thanks for the memories.
Beautiful talented ladies, horseys, piggies, Dave and a crushed head!!! Who could ask for more? My life is now complete. I am in ecstasy.
All I got to say is. BEST FAMILY EVER...... Love your videos.
