I like what the rooster said to everyone.
😂
Stumps are a mother to remove sometimes. Ones that big if dead enough I have made cuts down through the stump soaked with gal of kerosene and built a fire around it and let it burn for a few days.
You know the old joke? I love work - I could sit and watch it all day! Well you two have a wonderful work ethic and make it possible for the rest of us to sit and watch. Thank you!
One day, when you're not quite so busy, a video about your chickens would be fun. How many you have, what kinds, which will be eaten, how many eggs do you get, what do you feed them, do you really need that rooster,
etc., etc. ???
Try drilling three holes in the top of that old stump, fill all three with diesel . light it up and slowly burn it out.
Sawzall works great on roots. Blades are cheaper than chains and bars.
Such a sweet life u two are creating in the «wilderness». Lots of hard work. Hope you have enough wood for a tough and cold winter. That is such a good felling of ....we are NOT going to freeze. Best from the wilderness of Norway.🇳🇴🇨🇦

Not even a little wiggle. That stump it there to stay. Need a mini-Ex to dig around it maybe. Thanks for sharing
One small bonus working to get that stump cleared, you've also built a fire protection area.
Heat coming this week, make plans to keep yourselves and the animals cooled down.
Garden looks good. 👍
Did you notice the size of the trees in the area a fire break would need to be 2 kilometers wide, have you not seen trees exploding in front of the fire front just from radiant heat.
Loved the graphic when the rooster crowed. 😂😂. Alan
Nice Katie, would love to see more.
Great video. Katie rocks.
The only way to get rid of the stump is to get a bigger machine or burn it out. Maybe wait for some cooler weather before you burn it out though.
A old used tire and some old used oil. Multi- Drill out center, pour old used oil down and light, Best yet lodge rubber tire under stump and light
Well someone missed the environmental winds of change blowing around our world 😂 😂 😂
This just came up today, 1 yr ago. Amazing how things have changed!
to help remove tree stumps use a sawsall to cut the roots
For your stump try Gordon’s stump remover. Cut the stump low to the ground. Drill lots of holes in the face of the grain. Sprinkle Gordon’s stump remover and in 6 weeks it’s easy to remove or burn what’s left.
Nothing goes to waste on the homestead, weeds and grub yum yum.
Woe Kati such beautiful ferns, one of my most loved plants.
I had 2 100 year old swamp maples that I paid for removal from my back yard to open it up to sunlight. I cut the stumps to ground level. I used my Sawzall and shovel to expose and cut roots. I used my circular saw with carbide tipped blades to hollow out the center as much as possible. Then I used wedges and sledge hammer close to the outside edges to break the outer edges, moving inward. It was a long slow process. I still wasn't happy with the result and I rented a big portable stump grinder. I ground down about 4 feet into the ground. It took 8 hours of grinding but I got both stumps removed. That grinding job was one of the hardest days I ever worked. Very physical. Good luck!
You guys work great as a team. I think it is amazing to get to live the life you want to, the way you want to live it. I know it takes much more work. Great job both of you. You are inspiring to so many young folks. Living the dream.
Hi Greg and Katy I get so much enjoyment watching your videos . You guys work so hard in everything you do ! Your homestead is looking so nice . Countless long days of very hard work is paying off for you too . Be safe ! From Southeast Iowa USA
When I grew up our property was covered in redwood stumps in those days my dad would use dynamite and then they used teams of horses.
What we do when we are trying remove a stump or post that just does not want to leave it current place Is we put a chain around the stump. Drape the chain across a tire and attach to the tractor. The tire help s to pull the stump out of the ground.
Cutting firewood is hard anuf but hand spliting is worse especially in summer you need a woodspliter still work butt less.
Hey my grandmother's name was Asmr!!! Lol
Loved this video, watching you do your chores. And Love your chickens and goats. The garden looks nice. Lots of hard work. Hope you have enough wood for a tough and cold winter.
Everything looks great , hard work firewood , just a suggestion when I chopped wood ( before I got a log splitter ) I would put the wood in the centre of 2 tyres sitting on a low stump for a solid base , the splits would not fly everywhere , less bending down and you have more control , just a suggestion worked great for me ! Great video thanks !
So peaceful!
You are a smart young lady and a good person, along with your husband
You are exactly right on the honda.... saw video one time of a weight of chop Big Blocks like that without having them fall over you put five or six in a group and a round group and then put a light chain around them so they can't fall over then you can quarter them half them and quarter them all around and then just release the chain and they're all cut up without having to stop and pick them up so you can chop them again
The garden and surrounding area is looking great.
Love the knife to operate rage coffee grinder
Katie you have a very work ethic on the homestead which I really impressed
Nice video! Back in the day they twisted stumps out of the ground by chaining a long log to the stump and using a horse or horsepower on the other end of the log. They circled the stump until it twisted out! They called it leverage! You folks are doing well in your quest. The Chickens and animals look most healthy. Ron PTL USA
In the South, we use something entirely different... tannerite! GA, USA 💥😎🦅🇺🇸
Saw down into the stump and then start driving big wood wedges into it. Get the tap root to split and it will come out.
there is a main root that goes straight down
Hi , I am new to your channel and really enjoy watching your videos! It exciting to watch your home come together and love watching your animals ❤️
The garden looks nice, especially the spinach. Overall it looks like it was a beautiful day.
Wowza, Katie, I need you weeding on my place! Lookit you go, haha! ;-D
And Greg, you swinging at the logs with the axe like you're teeing off; hysterical! Foooooore!
This was good simple fun to watch; thanks for a nice midweek diversion. :-D
You must go to bed exhausted and wake up exhausted!! LOL!!
Turkeys done@3:18. Looks tasty 🤤
Just a FYI, if you ever have to cut a root or stump that is really close to the ground, use a sawsall. Sawsall don't care about dirt. ;)
Hi guys been watching you battle with stump removal when you bought the tractor you bought it with a back hoe why don't you use that to dig out the stumps just wondering why you battle with pickaxe when you have the back hoe tractor 😅
You think that stump is hard try a cherry tree they have a tap root in the middle of the tree my day had to do are tree when we put a driveway it it was fing hard lol
Your garden looks great must of had some rain we finally got some this last weekend hadn't had any for a month and a half
Good day beautiful ❤️
beautiful life style
Take that backhoe unit and you can dig all the way around it and push the stump right over
Wow you live in a beautiful place
The estate is coming along!
make Swedish torch from stump / will burn most and the roots too
Wow very great video your place is looking good.
Nice to see some of your other work you do on a daily basis. I know what it is like. In real life, the work never, ever ends. Real homesteading is a lot of work. People don’t realize it until they do it. You mentioned it’s +34C! Is it relatively dry? Does the temperature drop at night? Here in Kochi, Shikoku, Japan, it’s +36C in the shade. The humidity is very, very high. People die from heat stroke every summer here. Elderly and kids are the most susceptible. The heat is downright dangerous. The temperature only drops down to +32C at night. I miss the cool air in Canada. Chopping all that wood is hard work. But, good exercise.
What is the reason you are not siding the house with lumber off the property?. The weather will take its toll over months of rain sun snow wind. Get the house outside done. Good luck. Wish I could help. From Ohio
Nice
Hard core for stump sure..... try drilling several holes on the top, pore some gas in it ... light it and watch it disappear.... just a thought..
ello bruv, i found to clear stumps use a pressure washer.....
I wonder if she has a sister as beautiful, smart, fun, hard working etc as her? Does anyone know?
This beautiful lady is a unicorn. ❤ 😍 ❤
Greg your gonna have to look into a log splitter for the tractor, unless that's how you take out aggression
nice fence ;)
Stumps react nicely to a big roaring fire under them. Just saying.
Good day to you guys, them baby 🐣🐤🐔🐓 chickens grown up so fast. Awesome wood chopping skills !! 🙏💚👍🇬🇧......Simon
Good morning how are you guys doing,it almost time to eat chicken,
Have fun and God Bless. Everything is looking great.
Hey from Gerany, startet the CoffeeMaschine with a Knife ;-)) really crazy but smart !!!
The little button thing broke but it still runs (and has for 10 years)
@@ThisOffGridLife Hej, good Luck for the next 10 Years;-)
You guys need a old tire to hold the stump so it doesn't go flying
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ hey buckets are good for a whole lotta stuff😁😁😁😁😁even pesky critters like wasps👍
Greg's next tractor attachment, a backhoe.
I have one!
@@ThisOffGridLife Awesome!
nice
be cool and safe GOD BLESS.
Chicken runs off- no take backs! 👍👍
Enjoyed that. One thing I started seeing a couple vids ago...Sound...visaul has always been been good. Story line gets better and better each week. But now??? I never had to grab my remote to up or down the volume at all in this vlog!!! Thats huge!!! I watch channels the after 4 yeats still cant get the sound balanced acrossed thier vlog. Good on K!!! A+!!! But whats up with the knife suck into the side of the grinder!!??? 😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Love your video's Thank you. I think you should find yourself something to help you split all that wood. I use to cut and split 3 to 4 cords a year, wish I had one at the time :-))
Greetings from Romania !
Why don't You get a device that cuts the hub in four
Hey Greg. Looking good. Did dynamite ever cross your mind (JUST KIDDING 😠😧😁😎 ) when the tractor could not budge that stump!! You will get it. LOVE VIDEOS...
The stump won that round :)
Awesome 👌
Loved this video, watching you do your chores. And Love your chickens 🐓. Who does all your cooking in your family? Would be fun to see that too? ✌️
We both cook. We'll consider making a video about it next time we do a nice meal 😋
Girl you make pajama pants fashionable!
🤣
I bet the main root of that stump goes right straight down and until you cut that root it won't budge.
KATIE;S WORK DAY UNBELIEVEAVLE. ALWAYS ON THE GO. NEVER COMPLAINING. WHAT AN AMAZINFG WOMEN. TALKS TO THEM FOR COMFORT.
well,,,, you're stumped.
you were on the right track, blast away the dirt etc. and take the saw to it.
i have removed a bunch of stumps and what i have found that works the best is a pressure washer, like what you might use on, say, the siding of a house. use a 0 degree nozzle so you get a pin point stream of water.
for giggles, i call it a water laser.
anyway, that high pressure stream cuts through the dirt and stuff easy, and, you'll use WAY less water than that big hose you had.
i have also found most of the time i have to cut each root twice. once out away from the tree, next up against the trunk itself. seems like there is always another root under there that you can't get to till the first one is out of the way.
at any rate, as big as that sucker is, unless you get a MASSIVE excavator, you'll be at it a while.
i wish i was there to help you.
keep on keepin' on my friends.
Doesn't want to share that grub with you 🤣
The chickens really appreciate the personal touch at feeding time, but I'm not sure the translation came through correctly with the one with the big mouth..lol 😅 😄 The stump was being stubborn for sure, I would've just dug around it and set it on fire, it wouldn't have burned long, or it would've came out of the ground. Love ya'll ❤️
you need to buy a wood spitter.
You are a lovely lady, lot of work involved in what you and your hubby- boyfriend
Build a fire around the stump. It will burn the biggest part, and then work on the roots one at a time.
I keep following your work from Stockholm, Sweden, you're doing an amazing one! Cannot stop watching!
Q: is there any particular reason for not using a chopping block? The axe seems to aim at your feet every time you hit the wood on the ground.
If you knew someone with an excavator, that would work. Two or three sticks of dynamite would also do well. Have good days!
Why haven't we figured out how grow our house foundations out of living trees? If that 'stump' was live and part of a house structure your house would never come down.
Every time I see that stump, Wished I lived closer. Could pop that thing out with our excavator in no time. Great video and happy to see you two working together : )
We've asked the neighbor to save us a block of time mext time his bulldozer is home
@@ThisOffGridLife🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🚚🚚🚚🚚📼 5 📹
you need a wood shed real bad.🌳🌳🌳
I hate tree stumps. It's easier to push over a whole tree than a stump.
Just keep choppin' away at it.
I'm surprised you haven't frankensteined something to help you cut wood to make it so much easier and less harder on your back? We call it macgyvering you need to MacGyver something to help you with that!
Those meat birds look like they are ready for dinner.. Nice job raising them up. They look like they will last the two of you quite some time. How many eggs do you average per day with that many chickens?
Need a D-6
A bulldozer will be stopping by soon!
@@ThisOffGridLife maybe a big dozer with a ripper hook
Make your new fire pit around that stump and burn it out, over time. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸 No Snow Just Breeze !
That’s how we do it in the South. Just sayin !
Forgot to tell yall's that my raised bed didn't pan out
Can you all rent a stump grinder?
Got a red stick with a fuse? :)
