How deep am I stuck! Snowmobile logging The Arctic winter returns and the nightmare continues.

- Join me on another exciting snowmobile logging adventure in the Arctic wilderness! We'll be using a Yamaha Viking snowmobile and a Husqvarna 550XP chainsaw to thin the forest and collect firewood. This unique experience will showcase the power and efficiency of these machines as we work our way through the snow-covered trees. Get a front-row seat to the challenge and beauty of arctic logging.
It is not all smooth running, I break through the deep snow and get so very stuck and have to spend a day just digging myself out.
We burn the old tree tops and clear some brush and cut a couple of pines tree to replace cants as I use them. Chainsaws and snowmobiles are always an additional challenge during winter.

Not only will the deer eat the tops but also the Rabbits , no need to burn
Great music Simon
Howdy Simon- you just keep going regardless of the weather. You, my friend, are to be admired for the tenacity. I did a similar thing during Christmas by cutting some oak trees while the sap was down to make into firewood. Still working four hours away from home so the firewood will wait. Hope all is well with you and Ms Sarah. Have a great weekend. God bless
Hi Paul, you know how it is and so we just keep going. If you are away from home I can only guess you are on a build so wish you luck and good health. Take care and Thank you.
Thanks for the video Simon. I was happy to see you get unstuck from the hole. I know you hurt all over after
that. Good to see your fuzzy kid Kaspar. God Bless you and Sarah and your family. Stay safe and warm.

Thank you Alan, we return your blessings many times and trust in God to keep you safe. Yes I hurt but it bit of pain never hurt anyone, if you know what I mean. Take care my friend.
You know we’ve all done stuff that makes you shake your head.stay strong and good ❤😊
Thank you, I will do my best. It always make me laugh afterwards. Stupidity that is.
Thanks for the video, watching from Panama City Florida,USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !
Thanks for watching Kirby.
Hi Simon WellI Must Say What A Lot Of Very Hard Work You Had T Do All On Your Own But As Usual You Allways Get There At The End I JustHope That Your Back Didn't Suffer To Much As I No Your Back Can Really Hurt You At Times Nice To See Casper Running Around Well I Hope You A Your Family Are Well A Happy Please Take Care From Blue
Hi Blue, your are correct to much hard wood when I should be cutting tree's.
Oh dear me Simon! What an adventure over the last few days for you! I throughly enjoyed every moment! Have to say I didn’t think the first sink was nice let alone the second time after all the previous digging! Seeing you take off and miss the trodden track got me historical 😂😂😂😂. You commentary and dry sense of humour is just so much fun. Thank you for a good laugh ( sorry it was at your expense though). Seeing the reindeer passing by was a treat. And Kasper the wee darling just gorgeous.Once again absolutely stunning scenery you share with us. A big thank you. It’s the beginning of another week and here’s wishing you and the family good health and keep warm.❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪
Thank you Anne, to be honest I had such a laugh whilst editing. Not that is was the funniest part but it is all you could see the funniest part was when I arrived at the trees going way to fast in totally the wrong direction and no clear path!
It is always a pleasure to read your thoughts Anne Thank you. We send our best wishes.
@@arctic-rebel so good to hear you had a laugh yourself during editing 😊😊❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪
Yes you have some snowshoe rabbit tracks there
Yes we do, very many
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you Charles
Holy smokes Simon you had that Machine stuck outstanding out in the woods video take care and be safe up there
Thank you my friend, as I type I am hoping this is the last huge snowstorm of the year.
Great video keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
Hahahaha... no wonder I like Kasper so much... like him, I mostly also don't do anything useful... and show off!! 🤪😁
LOL
Yeah Simon to do what was done 30 years ago on the sled 😊🤔 but that was half a lifetime ago 😒 all good though just then just work through it 😱 slower but surely 😂😂 thanks for fun old Boy!
Exactly Brad, slower and in some ways better but still done.
Do you find as you get older you get the 2s 2cold 2hot 2much snow say hi to your family ❤😊
100% spot on. Nail and head. Perfict description Scott.
Maybe you can pack down a trail with your snowshoes
There is a video specifically on this subject, but it did me on use this time LOL. Thanks Robert
Thanks Simon, nice to be out cutting trees but a stuck snow machine is not fun at all. We have to be patient will be out catching fish before we know it. Take care friend.
I hope so Mark, I have been thinking about fishing.
Dang, I've cut wood in the snow before, but have never done it wearing my snowshoes!
The snow depth is deceptive because it is all over, you get used to it after a few seasons and 100 times on your face.
Hi Simon, I ended up selling my Viking for a lighter older Grand Touring. Like you, when I got that Yamaha stuck that’s where it sat. It just about kills you to dig it out. The lighter sleds make a world of difference for us old timers. Best of luck to you up there! Chris in Maine.
Hi Chris, it was not a problem just a few years ago and when the track is good and I am not hauling logs I love the speed and danger, however age seems to be determining a different route for me and it sure would be nice to have a lighter one.
Good times getting stuck. 😠🙄. 2 weeks ago i could barely lift my left arm , my shoulder and neck got all fucked up 😢 .its a lot better now .
No talk of the forest fire is best off 😂.
Take then fishing jigs I sent you and go punch a few holes for some perch , they taste way better in the winter .
Have a good night Simon 👍👊
Hi Heith, yep the exact same injury WTF! You keep suggesting ice fishing, I told you no no no and for the last time no. My life is cold enough without sitting on a frozen river, I like fishing in the sun from my boat. Take care Buddy
@@arctic-rebel 🙄😄😄👍
Hahahaha again... oldish... you? Broken bits... you? Yes... I know... I'm about the same... loads of broken bits... and slightly oldish!
Thanks again Simon! Have a great weekend up there, you, Sarah and the mad hound! I always love travelling around with you up there... even though it leaves me chilled to the bone! Stay safe and warm... and, please, stay out of the holes! They're not good for you!
Thanks AJ, nice you see the funny side of it all. It either makes my laugh or cry depending on the time of month. Best wishes to you both.
You live in a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing Simon 👍
It really is, thank you
Foolish to make a choice in snow with hollows underneath...your machine is a dreadnought...true --
And coaling it , digging it out is 2 days of fun..Eh..?. You deliver the mail...and thats the code...
Carry on
Yes Peter very foolish and I gave myself a slap for it. You are correct except I am missing the large caliber!
Will do Thank you.
Would the deer have trouble eating the brush pile down ?
So much brush in the forest I have left they for them Robert you have to keep your arable land clear
I was just going to say , the deer will be able to eat the tops , then you say it & then show . Are they actually Reindeer or are they Caribou ?
The reindeer or caribou is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to Arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of Northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. It is the only representative of the genus Rangifer.
Well.. you know.. Murphy's law and all that stuff. When something has the potential to go sideways, it often does🙈 And that Viking would be more than a handfull even for a young guy with intact shoulders and arms. To roll over 1/2 a tonne.. yeah right! Haha! But with Simonuity it came loose.. good on ya buddy👍 Please, for your own health, sell that lump of machinery, and see if you can't get your hands on a lighter wide track, even if it should be an older model, a 2-stroke would be way easier to handle. Here we are getting what I hope is the last snow of this winter.. tomorrow it's supposed to warm up and start raining.. and next week the forecast predicts up towards +10 °C. All the best to you, take care and be safe out there🙂
Yes good old Murphy again. Our weather is the same tonight's snow is going to be heavy and then it looks like warm temps for the next tens days. I have know this for s while thus trying to get finished with the snowmobile because it is a pain to get unstuck. All the best my friend. Thank you
Does your snowmobile have a reverse , to bad you can’t buy a new track .
Yes it dose, this will usually dig it deeper.
