@@Botticcelli7 Thank you, that's a very kind offer! I'll be starting a garden up in AK in another ~8 years when we can live there full-time. Best wishes to you and your family! 😃
Things are looking so much better every trip brings vast improvments. You guys just dont have any quit in you respect to you both. Stay safe till next time.
I'm happy you get the vibe! My video editing varies depending on how the footage look and my mood while editing 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
Lucky to have these memories with your dad - it's great! When I cleared my land, I placed my burn piles around stumps so they would eventually burn flat. Try it next trip.
If you are having problems getting the saw to start sometimes. You might want to try using fuel that has no alcohol in it. I found from a YT site from a gal that repairs chain saws that the premixed fuel causes problems. I have the exact same saw you are using. I now run nothing but premium fuel without the added alcohol and mix my own oil into the fuel. The saw has more power and runs much better on that fuel. Plus I don’t use the fuel after it’s 30 days old. I just dump it into my truck and mix fresh fuel. There is also a caged needle bearing behind the clutch that needs to be cleaned and greased at the end of every season. It’s really easy to get out. Takes me less than five minutes to perform the maintenance. Place looks so much better with all the brush and dead stuff burned up. Getting rid of all the brush is the hardest part of cutting trees down.
That's good knowledge, thank you! One of my challenges stems from flying in from Tokyo, then taking a charter to the cabin from Anchorage. I can't fly back out to Tokyo with fuel jugs; thats why the store-bought, pre mixed fuel is so convenient. Hopefully my saw lasts a few more years on the pre-mixed stuff until we are able to live in AK full time and mix our own. Thank you again for the knowledge, it was most helpful! And thank you for watching!
@@OhashiOutdoorsI can’t imagine doing the plane rides from your home to AK. That must be brutal. I am in the process of going through your collection of videos. That big Pike must have been fun in a canoe. What a nice fish. Thanks for taking your time to answer back on my posts. The creatures sure like the taste of your cabin. From the looks of the fresh paint job around the front door, you might have to board it up like the windows🤨
@@OhashiOutdoors Ha Ha Ha ha!!! Love your philosophy!! HAHAHHAH I have spent many a day out in the rain clearing brush. It sure makes it more fun to have a fire going to warm up beside for even a minute or two before getting back to it! Or as you did cook a couple hot dogs on! :D Win/win situation!!! 😅
Thank you for always watching and commenting, bill! Something about working in the rain makes the end of the day feel like you worked extra hard. It's also nice having a warm cabin to shut into after you're soaked to the bone. Best wishes to you, my friend!
@@OhashiOutdoors I hear you buddy. The fire you lit in the cabin and the Coleman lantern makes it feel warm and cozy. That is cabin camping. Best wished to you and your family my friend. Take care
You guy’s work so hard when yall are there. Does dad ever sit down and enjoy himself like fishing or something. Got the place looking good. Something about burning is so satisfying. We had to do a lot when we moved in back in 2022 and I loved it. Burning on rainy and snowy days. Looking forward to next video. Love the channel.❤
Thank you so much! My dad's not a big fisherman, and he likes to keep busy. That being said, we both did a fair bit of sitting around the fire and relaxing in the cabin late in the evenings. We didn't film much of that though; it's not very interesting 😂 Thank you for always watching and leaving a comment! It really helps the channel 😊
@@OhashiOutdoors you are very welcome. I have shared with some of my family and friends trying to get more subscribers for you. I really enjoy the videos.
Great catch! I've seen other people do similar things on Alaska's rivers. I'll have to give it a try when we're living permanently in the state sometime!
Thanks for the videos ! I've noticed that you seem to be into your lamps & lanterns. You might want to think about trying a pressure kerosene mantle lantern sometime. It can be a challenge to learn how to make them work (they have to be preheated by burning alcohol in order to vaporize the kerosene.) The advantage is that kerosene can be cheaper and more convenient to use than propane. I have two from Asia and a current model Coleman (model # 639) mantle lantern which is the least difficult to use kerosene pressure lantern I have. I collect oil lamps and enjoy messing with them. This may not be worthwhile for you unless you find oil lamps interesting. Some negative factors are that kerosene can stink and the exhaust from burning it even gives people headaches. Thanks again !
Thank you for watching! I will have to check out pressure kerosene mantle lanterns. I do love lanterns and see myself acquiring quite a collection over my lifetime. Being in Japan, I've already purchased two second-hand pressure white gas mantle lanterns made by Coleman. I've also picked up three Coleman stoves; Japan has great second-hand stores with some good deals! I took a screen shot of the Model # 639 and will keep my eyes open for one. Best wishes to you!
That is very generous of you, thank you! We'll keep that in mind when we schedule our next trip out there in 2025. I'd love to learn about fishing on the Kenai Peninsula! Thank you for watching and commenting, as always!
Much appreciated! There will be some more fishing videos coming out in a few weeks. I caught some nice pike on my last trip up there! Thank you for watching!
You guys work so hard and poor Dad looks like he needs to go home for a holiday and a good long hot shower. Have you thought of buying a good strong whipper snipper for next year. You can get petrol ones with different attachments. It would eat through those weeds and small trees very easily. I hope you can get to a stage soon where you both can just sit back and enjoy all your hard work. From Australia
We were both ready for a shower by the end of the trip! Hard work like this makes a person really appreciate the luxuries of home after your return. I really need to get a whipper snipper out there soon. I didn't get one on my last trip, but hopefully on the next one! You're right, we could clear more trails and make our lives a whole lot easier. Thank you for commenting and watching!
Absolutely. A good weed wacker will most likely happen in 2025. 1/4 down gravel will gave to wait until I live there full time and can snow machine it in after freeze up. Thank you for watching!
@OhashiOutdoors you should get some of those bags they use when they are stopping flood waters and load them with ¼ down rock, now so they are ready to go come freeze up. And a back up chainsaw.
Unfortunately, I won't make it out there this winter. I live and work full-time in Japan. Alaska is my passion project and getaway until I'm able to retire and we can live wherever we want! That is still sound advice though; I will remember it and make it happen as soon as I can. Thank you for watching!
HOLA ME ENCANTA EL LUGAR Y EL RIO ME GUSTARIA HACER UNA SUBJERENCIA PORQUE NO GUARDAN LOS TROCOS DEL ARBOL PARA LA CHIMENEA UN CORNDIAL SALUDO DESDE ESPAÑA
Try cleaning your air filter. That can can cause hard starting. I do see your running your chain to tight. It should sag down slightly. I could hear it whenever you let of the gas. I was a logger for a couple years after High School. I learned all my lessons by the school of hard knocks! Your cabin site looks a lot nicer when its brushed out. Plus when nature calls in the middle of the night you can see if any Bears are close by with a flashlight!
Good to know, thank you! I'll clean the air filter really well on the next trip. Tightening the chain is also a fine art I'm still learning 😂 I'll keep practicing and hopefully get it right more consistently one of these days! Thank you for the comment, knowledge, and for watching!
@@OhashiOutdoors wow thats very nice price in paradise like that for more than two hectareas and half more. Congrats and i wish you and your family all the best . 🍀❤️
I haven't been intentionally swimming in there yet, although I intend to one of these summers. I got pretty soaked in there my last trip fixing the dock and re-positioning logs after the big flood. Videos on that will come out in a few weeks! Thank you for always watching and commenting, Kristin!
Stihl saws can be a bit picky on if they need choke when some what warm. Also the "Truefuel" gas your useing had known to cause issues and does go bad.
Good to know! I'll have to burn through the rest of the TrueFuel i have out there, then switch over to the more expensive Stihl fuel. It's the most convenient way to get fuel out there, being so remote. Thank you for the knowledge and for watching!
Need to put boards with nails in them and put in front of all your windows and doors. Keep those pesky critters from getting in the cabin. Im a old coastie ,would love to be stationed there when I was younger 😊
The back and side window have plywood covers to make entry harder for the critters, but I want to build some nice shutters for the front windows one of these trips. Thank you for watching!
Everyone has their reason. I'd turn it into good firewood if I lived out there full time and had a bigger wood shed to store it in. I keep my little wood shed full, and enjoy large outdoor fires when I can! Plus, many of those beetle kill spruce logs are pretty rotten inside.
Posiblemente has elegido la mejor zona remota para vivir una vida tranquila y alejados de este mundo loco que hemos convertido. Buena suerte !❤
Muchas gracias!

That is high praise coming from a man like you, thank you! We love working outside like this 😁
عمل عظيم وجهد متواصل أتمنى لكم التوفيق 👍
شكرا لك على الكلمات الرقيقة، وعلى المشاهدة!
Love the peace and tranquillity of this video, thank you for sharing 😊
I'm happy you get the vibe! My video editing varies depending on how the footage look and my mood while editing 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
I ‘m enjoying watching your videos, thank you for sharing your joy living in the remote uninhabited place
Thank you for watching, our pleasure!
Lucky to have these memories with your dad - it's great! When I cleared my land, I placed my burn piles around stumps so they would eventually burn flat. Try it next trip.
That is a great idea! I was planning to dig around them, rip them out, and drag them to the burn pile 🤣 Your way sounds much more pleasant!
Great idea, I will also try that!

You are a very hard worker! The property has come a long way and is looking great! Your dad seems like such a cool guy ! Keep working the good work!
He's one of the coolest! Thank you for the complements and for watching! It's becoming our little piece of paradise more and more every trip
Great work both of you!! Such troupers to keep mustering forward in the drizzly weather. Excellent progress and yet another great video!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! The theory is, if you get the fire big and hot enough, it evaporates the rain before it gets to you 🤣 Thank you for watching!

Thankyou 😊
And thank YOU! Best wishes to you!
cabin site is looking awesome !
Thank you much! It's a ton of fun out there😁

@@OhashiOutdoors you are very welcome. I have shared with some of my family and friends trying to get more subscribers for you. I really enjoy the videos.
I caught a very large rainbow trout on a 3" piece of orange yarn tied to the curve of the hook. That was the only time I ever fished the Kenai River.
Great catch! I've seen other people do similar things on Alaska's rivers. I'll have to give it a try when we're living permanently in the state sometime!

Never ending work 😂
At least it’s work we love! I’d take this over a desk job almost any day
@@OhashiOutdoors no kidding, agree!!!
You both have done a lot of work cleaning up the area 😊.
Work we love to do! Thank you!
Man, you're smokin'!!! 😂
Right?! Thats what hard work, rain, and a hot fire will do to a guy 🤣
Great work guys. Invitations is always open if you get down on the kenai peninsula I would be more than happy to take you guys out fishing
That is very generous of you, thank you! We'll keep that in mind when we schedule our next trip out there in 2025. I'd love to learn about fishing on the Kenai Peninsula! Thank you for watching and commenting, as always!
Me encantan tus videos , por fabor traduccion en español
Muchas gracias! I will try learning how to translate👍
In that area you can work for hours and it seems like not much was done, but we know better. Hope you can get fishing before winter sets in, stay well

A good weed wacker and a few yards of ¼ down limestone would be awesome out there. Always something to do there...

Saw more wood and burn it. It's raining like this, so we don't have to worry about forest fires.
We saw and burn as much as we can! Thank you for watching!
Cuanta superficie tiene vuestra propiedad y cuanto os costo ai me permites la curiosidad? ❤🍀
Tengo 6 acres y me costó poco menos de $50,000 USD. ¡Gracias por mirar!
@@OhashiOutdoors wow thats very nice price in paradise like that for more than two hectareas and half more. Congrats and i wish you and your family all the best . 🍀❤️
Wow you got a lot of work done! The property is looking gorgeous. Do you guys swim in that lake or is the water too cold?
I haven't been intentionally swimming in there yet, although I intend to one of these summers. I got pretty soaked in there my last trip fixing the dock and re-positioning logs after the big flood. Videos on that will come out in a few weeks! Thank you for always watching and commenting, Kristin!

I don’t understand why you (and others) waste. 6”-8” diameter logs in your slash pile burns. That’s a lot of good firewood going to waste.
Everyone has their reason. I'd turn it into good firewood if I lived out there full time and had a bigger wood shed to store it in. I keep my little wood shed full, and enjoy large outdoor fires when I can! Plus, many of those beetle kill spruce logs are pretty rotten inside.
