Drop 'em, Haul 'em- Ep24- Outsider Log Cabin

[@roxanasmith6288]

That's quite remarkable to see the tree peal so quick

[@GrinfilledCelt]

You're doing what most guys only dream about. It's dangerous, never ending, back breaking work and we are SO jealous.

[@ANXIETOR]

The aerial video is cool. And it's somehow satisfying to watch each step of progress. I envy your chance for a father/son project of this scale. Be safe, and best wishes.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

It's definitely satisfying work. I love every minute of it, and I am very lucky to be able to share this project with my dad. Thanks!

[@pault1964]

Love watching the vids enjoy

[@lennyt-man4229]

Great old beast there even though it's a smaller one 👍

[@mmdirtworks3487]

That tractor is a Death Trap!!! Needs a roll over bar.

[@denaredford6701]

That’s amazing ,even my three year old grandson thinks it was amazing . Two thumbs up .

[@EmileTheart]

Great video. That old tractor still has the goods. Happy 1st father's day! God bless.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Emile Theart Thank you my friend!

[@yasminghani2073]

Enjoy watching your video

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

That 3 log drag was tightly done

[@mauldindoc123]

Thank you for sharing the process, I'm really enjoying the videos. I'm also amazed at what it must have taken the pioneers in the old days to move out west in a wagon and then build their cabins when they arrived at their destination. Building your own home with your father is awesome. I don't believe any other home you may live in the rest of your life will mean as much as this one. I would also bet there is no amount of money you would take for it! Your dad is quite a fella, and you two are an inspiration to many folks out here watching the progress. Take care and God bless!

[@b5maddog]

That was an awesome video! Thank you! Thank God for that old tractor! God bless you, your father and your family always. Happy Father's Day

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! Happy Father's Day to you as well and God bless.

[@yurinator7274]

That is one sweet old tractor!!!

[@Brandywine6969]

Working with nature is so satisfying and soothing. Knowing you are building your own home that way must be amazing. I wish I could still get around good enough to build a small cabin. I am enjoying watching you build your cabin though. I look forward to your videos.

[@canesser1]

That was very cool. You put a lot of effort into these captures Outsider but what great memories to keep working with your Dad and on behalf of your family. Blessings from out west.

[@calebcothron3556]

I'm quite envious of that timber. those are some gorgeous trees. wish I had a cedar stand like that.

[@danegreenwell2589]

Thanks for the update - can't wait to see how it looks at the end of the summer!

[@anothorestes]

The only thing that could make this more canadian would be Geddy Lee showing up with a big fat spliff and the ghost of Rita MacNeil. Rock on!

[@vinnyita]

Hello from Southern Ontario, it's been a lot of "Outside" fun following your project with your dad. It sure is a lot of work. I've always thought that it's not all about finishing the project, rather than the experience and hard work getting there. I too have an ongoing project with my father which involves a lot of the same work and can't get enough of it! Also, i appreciate that your're posting videos as you progress, rather than all at once. It keeps the channel inviting and teaches "some" people the value of patience.

[@billyoerg]

The right tool make a job so much easier! The rainy morning here allowed me to enjoy this video without feeling bad about not doing stuff outside this morning.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

billyoerg raining here in Yellowknife too, so did the same.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Awesome! Gotta love those rainy, guilt-free days where you can catch up on TH-cam and/or Netflix. lol Anyway, thanks for choosing to watch my channel on your rainy day.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

I love the way you and your father work together -- This is a perfect video for Father's Day, which is tomorrow (June 18) here in the U.S.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks Jeanette! Working with my dad is a great privilege. Happy Father's Day weekend!

[@samualiam9981]

I literally just bought a tractor on Friday. I cant wait to get it up to my place and get some work done. Cheers.

[@chamilton9182]

WOW!!! 3 trees at once. Gotta love a tractor. Good driving there too. You two are doing great and it looks
like you are enjoying every minute of it. Be safe, and God Bless!!

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Your little tractor's worth it's weight in gold. I can't imagine how long any of this would have taken without that little powerhouse. Camera's are as tough as nails too!

[@raymondfolsom8122]

fun to watch all the work...creating off the land

[@woodsmanforlife1677]

You should wear your PPE when working with a saw. It only takes one little think to loose a eye or worse.
Working in the woods for 40 years, seen all kinds of injuries.
Keep up the good work!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

I agree that I need to be more diligent in putting my gear on before jumping into the days work. Sharp chainsaws and heavy trees are definitely things to be respected. Thank you for your concern and encouragement.

[@constantcomment1954]

Didn;t see your reply, but same thought!!

As a safety professional I have to deal with people like you all the time; the biggest problem is that you rarely injure or kill yourselves, it is usually someone else that has to die for your ignorance.
The Unit I work for has not had a work related fatality yet, but there were several deaths recently where I had provided my opinions due to problems I saw. They had all thanked me for my opinion and said don't worry about it...... the people making the decisions to ignore me were not the people that died.

[@brianspencer4220]

Thanks Outside: You brought back a lot of memories from the summer of 1963 when my dad & I harvested about 20 cedars from our swamp . Its good to remove the bark ASAP . We used 1 cedar cut down 2 years before but not debarked. It still shows the scars of an arduous bark removal. I used Javel water to remove any marks the dragging caused. Thanks again; Brian 77

[@markhignett7671]

They peeled so well 👍

[@matthewthibodeaux9830]

Watch those eyes! So many small low branches I'd skip the safety glasses and go for goggles

[@andrewml3602]

Great update. You and your dad make a great 2 man team. Peeling the bark off those cedars looks like fun but its alot of hard work im sure. Remember to have fun harvesting your cedars, it makes the hard work a little easier. Always rem bro Philipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me💪💪💪. You can never grow weary. Ps I 💙💙 the aerial view. Someone invested in a drome. Good camera work👍

[@coolwheelz5190]

Nice! Can't wait to see some more work on the cabin!

[@donaldhofman296]

Flying the drone and driving the tractor at the same time! Good going!

[@FatherAndSonFun]

Awesome video!!!! My son and I really enjoy watching these together. Love the drone shot about halfway through the video! You guys sure are working hard over there!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks again my friend! Yeah, I love that the drone is able to bring another perspective on what we're doing.

[@neolexington]

Love watching that old tractor work!

[@Doubleodude]

Looking good.

[@charlesrupe7023]

A great videos keep it up great job !!

[@yummboy2]

Amazing how the bark just zips off! I am sure it is not quite as easy as these guys make it look.

[@bosse641]

you're living my dream. ....so much fun. Wish I could do the same. All the best ahead.

[@MuteMyst]

It's surprisingly entertaining watching the process of stripping logs. Calming. Then again, Add makes anything entertaining XD

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

I find the debarking process to be very satisfying. Similar to peeling a dead scab. lol Feels good to do it.

[@warriorgrandma4392]

I am soooo happy everything is ok. Thank you for another great video

[@Nicamist]

I stumbled across video 7 the other day and saw the upload date and thought great I'll get to see the cabin completed without having to wait. 🤔🤔🤔

[@thepioneeringspirit557]

We just dropped 6 large trees, which will leave us with about 33 8' logs for a vertical cabin. The bark is peeling easily! We are considering using a 12x24 barn and making an opening for another 12x22 section made of the logs. Don't know if we can get around zoning, but if so it will be very economical. The land is slopy and only 2/3 of an acre, but there are flat areas.

[@Trygvesimensen]

Good work 👍🏻

[@TheTyrial86]

Those small tractors come in handy. I have been thinking hard about getting one.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Yeah, they're great in the bush. Just need a good set up brakes to make those tight turns.

[@davyjones232]

Skidding logs is best with a lifting boom jig....so the bark does not load up with dirt and muck....which dulls the saw mill blades. Some saw mills have a little kerf cutting saw to cut away the dirty bark.

[@motorcyclelad]

Amazing cinematography!! Been following along from the beginning.

[@ronnybogaerts3359]

when i saw your first video, i thougt : how on earth this sissy boy is going to create a log cabin , now i know
you'r ea great guy with balls at the right place. thanks for sharing.

[@constantcomment1954]

Thanks for the video. Been watching for a few years now. Just wish you and your dad would wear a hardhat and chaps when using chainsaws. I'm a forester and worked with a guy who had cut firewood for 15 + years. I always told him to wear chaps and he said he never had a problem. One day he asked me where he could get a pair of chaps. He had been cutting firewood and ran the saw across his thigh. Had many stitches. Just want people to be safe.
Jack

[@jerryolson3408]

you have a great father !!

[@rsinfelt1]

Love your videos.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

love those big work boots !!!

[@xmodriver]

Gutsy moves with your cameras ,,, Ty for the vid

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

lol Yeah. It might seem as though I'm trying real hard to bust my camera. Just glad it's a tough one that can take the punishment.

[@xmodriver]

Indeed

[@kenmarapese9085]

Horse power is a good thing!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Oh yeah!

[@dennismckeown5863]

Just ask Tim the tool man Taylor about horse power.

[@siebemy]

awesome vids! insane how you get those things level! hope to see more soon

[@e10001110101]

That's pretty badass

[@LostCaper]

I do a fair amount o logging with a tractor and looking at building a remote camp. You sure have a nice peace of property. Carefull skidding the logs. If they fetch up on a stump you could flip the tractor over. If you could short chain it and raise the log a bit of the ground or get a nose cone to fit over the log it would be a bit safer. Great video by the way.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Green Acres Your advice is much appreciated! Thanks for commenting.

[@ArifKamaruzaman]

I screamed for your camera.

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

Nice camera work. You got to get those peeled logs of the ground so the dry better and don't rot.

[@DrHavok1]

so glad to see you're still up and running with this project....i was afraid maybe those Canadian wildfires might have gotten you slowed up

[@ryanfarley7441]

Great job outside fun, I just found out about your channel but I have enjoyed all of you're videos. I just wanted to tell you keep up the great work 😀

[@iysaw]

Peeling trees looks satisfying...

[@mountainman4826]

Hey Outsider, Love watching the series of you and your father constructing the log cabin. Looking forward to the continuation of the build. Any timelines for when? Not the winter again I hope LOL. Also you make me really nervous hanging your key's off or your belt. I don't want to see an episode of you looking for them ;) Do me a favor and please leave them in the tractor LOL. Joking aside I really enjoy your vids.

[@scootr76]

Loving the new video perspective (aerial especially) keep up the great work. Try looking into a steering wheel ball, I find they work great on my old tractor.

[@cratecruncher6687]

I own a large tree plantation and have wondered why you cut the trees so high leaving that huge stump like the one you are sitting on in this video. I realize clustered trees leave little choice sometimes when trying to preserve the remaining trees but the single trees could be cut much closer to the ground and that bowl wood is denser and will last longer as an exposed end.

[@jasonmillar8945]

More drone footage please, very interesting!!

[@jessejames6923]

YOU NEED TO TAKE A ZIP TIE AND TIE THOSE LOOSE WIRES UP OUT OF THE WAY ON YOU'RE TRACTOR!! THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS TO SNAG THOSE WIRES OUT IN THE BUSH AND TEAR THEM UP EHH

[@dstevenpaisley]

careful pulling to hard .keep your foot on clutch .tree grabs a stump on way by can cause tractor to wheely . GREAT JUB BY THE WAY

[@mikelamothesr.8998]

Damn good looking cedars. Around here they are all bent, twisted and rotting from the inside, not worth the time it takes to cut them down.
Mike

[@nicolek8971]

I like your wild edibles videos man thanks for sharing

[@Raynor88]

3:10 That's 1 way to limb a tree lol.

[@77BABYJACK]

Dude, your PRO-ject is taking forever I THOUGHT I WAS SLOW!

[@willemkauffeld7679]

well he also likes to loose his time. Remember when he went to collect stone? He only took one barrel at a time while he could take whole trailers.

[@willemkauffeld7679]

or when he was placing the logs on the foudation that he rigged something with water to make it level while he could have used a laser level.

[@77BABYJACK]

does it really need to be that exact? My house is 103 years old and a marble wouldn't lay still anywhere but my countertops and we are OK!

[@willemkauffeld7679]

No it doesn't need to be that exact, but he wanted it to be, then he made some contraption that took him quite some time while using a laser was way faster than his water tube things.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Well here's the thing Willem:
1. I could have loaded my trailer full of stone ...if I wanted to break it.
2. Laser levels are great indoors, but they can't shine very far in the daylight at any distance. Unless you have the cash for something top-end. Which I don't.

[@raym555]

that peels very easy

[@BrucesShop]

We don't have ceders on the prairies except in very tame (man made protected) situations.

[@jessejames6923]

THAT TRACTOR IS AN AWESOME LITTLE LOGGER NICE PROBLEMS AROUND HERE IS ALL THE CEDAR GROWING HERE IS THE SWAMPS WAY TO WET IN SUMMER FOR LOGGING WINTER IS THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN LOG THE CEDAR NEAR ME

[@willemkauffeld7679]

WHY YOU SHOUNTING

[@dennismckeown5863]

Does his shouting really hurt your ears ?? Why do you complain about everything,Can't you just enjoy something without complaining.

[@willemkauffeld7679]

Well it actually doesn't hurt my ears but my eyes. People should check their capslock before typing because it annoys a heck of a lot of people when something is written all caps.

[@MrMixalis0]

Hey... get over it and enjoy the show...

FOOOOOOOR SAFETY; MOUNTING 2 PARABOLIC MIRRORS SO YOU CAN SEE WHATS GOING OB BEHIND YOU WHILE GOING FORWARD??? OR A WIDEANGLE CARE MIRROR????

[@scottsmith8546]

Nice job Outsidefun! I was thinking that there is probably a great deal of things you could use the bark for when you debark the trees, especially the cedar. Just wondering if you found some uses for it yet??

[@VernAfterReading]

I had the same thought, but all I could come up with is basket weaving :)

[@MuteMyst]

Vern Imrich I can make cordage or fire starting kits with that bark. Or a pack if you're good enough at weaving.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks! Someday I'll find the time to put the bark to good use. Right now, it's doing a good job returning some nutrients back into the soil. lol Gotta love nature. Everything is recyclable.

[@Mutlap]

a team of experienced horses would have been nice

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

lol For sure!

[@ericgrahamcampbell3859]

You can see a lot of daylight in the Forest now that the trees have nearly all gone

[@donaldhofman296]

Eric Graham Campbell troll, get off here! He is selective logging !

[@troyroe6021]

You must have a tougher go pro than most

[@Brutalford]

tough old tractor...

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

No doubt! Over 65 years old. It might not look pretty, but it still runs strong.

[@coryboyd7958]

damn you work fast with a chain saw. love that old tractor. that thing is a work horse. you trying to get a new camera? great job as usual. thanks for sharing.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

lol Yeah, I'm pretty rough on that camera. Thanks for commenting!

[@carlosalvavado8998]

Did you ever make cordage out of the cedar bark it makes great rope{cordage}

[@singleman1986]

THINK about WHERE are you hooking up to the tractor! If you get jammed up while towing from the wrong point, that tractor has enough pull to flip over backwards and squash you like a bug before to can even THINK to jump clear. CAUTION my friend.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

It's definitely a good idea to be mindful of such things. I am familiar with my W4 and how it acts under various loads. It helps that the hitch is extremely low. Anyway, I appreciate the caution.

[@AndrewBrowner]

hes hooking below the centerline of the axle so there shouldnt be much tendency for it to tip, if for some reason he was hooking the chain up high above the wheels itd have a tendency to wheelie anytime the logs fetched up but the tractor had good traction

[@larryjacobs5713]

Is there any message with the hair cut? Your Dad is one great Father.

[@roxanasmith6288]

Can you use the bark for anything?

[@ausshot83]

great video as always silly question and i know is probably already been asked but why do you debark the trees

[@blanche-mariecouture7902]

Love all your videos....great experience....where are you Canada east or west....I really thought you were somewhere in the US...!

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Will you save the strips from the outside of the trees and use them for anything?

[@frank5387]

DANG , Quit changing your video name ! LOL good work !

[@thegreatfish6466]

its amazing to me that your big ol' tractor is able to navigate so easily through the trees. Would you say that the particular tractor that you're using is more agile than it looks or that the density of the trees in the videos is just a little deceiving?

[@aloberdorf4579]

are these yellow cedar ? Looks like with just a little jury-rigging, you have enough shake/shingle bolts for several structures. Good going. My froe is yore froe.

[@alanday5255]

Im not a woodsman but it seems men work faster when shirtless... Just a thought.

[@pwleppa]

You should study how to fell trees safely. And always use safety equipment!

[@davidhood8598]

yet another great video, but how many camera's do you get through per month/year, your camera budget must be generous or they are really durable.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+David Hood Would you be surprised if I told you that I still use all my original cameras? I've damaged them, but I've always been able to fix them.

[@karenkulis8545]

what's the bug situation like up there. Do you get bit alot? Here in Pa. they would be swarming all over me. Nice work!

[@skizzysmith]

Any use for those long strips of bark?

[@arthurstacey2730]

are you going to do a full scribe notch on your logs ?

[@howardbarton2595]

how do you calculate the number of logs that will be needed for the cabin? Do you add extra logs in case of errors?

[@jeremymtz360]

What kind of maintenance have you done on the tractor? I had thought about buying a older tractor ahead of time but have yet to look under the hood of one.

[@marting8841]

What are you currently doing in terms of potable water?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Right now, we just carry water in with us. Eventually, I want to set up a rainwater collection and filtering system. Or maybe a well.
