Off Grid Earthbag Workshop, Part 50 Harvesting Wood From My Woodland
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ม.ค. 2025
- Due to the lockdown i am having to harvest all the materials i need from the land. I am so fortunate to be able to do that but it does not change the fact that it is really hard work!

Привет Крис. Смотрю с огромным удовольствием твои видео. Твой оптимизм заражает позитивом. Я ничего не понимаю что ты говоришь, не владею английским языком, но прекрасно понимаю что ты делаешь. Добра тебе и удачи!!! 🖐️☀️
Whatever you do Kris don't let that lass go. She is one diamond girl !!!
The more that I watch the more I enjoy!
I am so grateful that I live in the forest on 12 acres. Being sheltered in place and social distancing is the norm and there is always something to do outside. I just bought a new chain saw with a portion of my government stimulus cheque! Exciting!
Always enjoy your videos Kris!
Maybe try a long handled felling lever for rolling out hung trees? Doesn't always work if it's really hung, but it's another weapon in your arsenal. Might also be handy for man-handling heavy logs on your milling rig. Heavy duty levers get a bit pricey but I have no doubt you have the skill to fabricate you own. Cheaper levers are generally money wasted as they are not robust enough to dig out tractors. Great content as always!
Nice wood Kris. Happy to see Dot is there with you. Thanks for the video. Take care of each other. BTW- Beautiful Day!!
That's a good lady you've got, Kris! She not only puts up with you building all the time, but she comes and helps out when you need a hand.
Yep, we appreciate you going to get the camera. 👍 Rob from Texas USA 🇺🇸
You said harvesting your own lumber. Which is a good thing. It truly is a great thing, cause it trains you to become more in tune with nature, which will fully provide for you if you give it patience and dedication.
Great episode, your content is getting through his lockdown and giving me so many ideas. Really appreciate it
I'm envious of you right now Kris , I live in a one bedroom house with no garden , the lockdown is tough all I can do is take my dog for a little walk at night when no one is around.
Yours must be the best lockdown in the country , plenty of land that's yours to do whatever you want and have projects to keep you going.
I always appreciate your videos but even more so at the moment because it keeps me focused that one day I'm going to buy my own little plot of land and become a prepper then if this situation happens again I know I'll be ok and less restricted than I am at this moment in time, even getting groceries is scary , I have to wipe every item down with sanitizer wipes just to doubly make sure I'm safe and even then it's still a worry.
Just hope we can beat this virus sooner than later.
Dot impresses me as the sort of woman a wise man seeks out.
@BRICKCITY9MM nice try
@BRICKCITY9MM Sober up, maybe your reading comprehension will improve.
@BRICKCITY9MM Well then, you have my deepest sympathy. It's not lack of reading comprehension, it's just plain stupidity.
Your capacity for hard work is a credit to you.
Ofcourse we appreciate it man, I’m exited as soon as I get the notification that you’ve uploaded aye 🤙🏼 keep up the exelent work!
What beautiful slabs of wood! Hopefully you'll remember all of your hardwork getting the trees to your shop and use it for something that will bring a smile to your face when you see it. :)
You sure did a good job of cutting and hauling. The wood is so beautiful on the cuts can't wait to see what you do with it. Good job Dot
Cheers Kris another enjoyable video. Would love to see how the trees you planted are doing at the start of their growing season, maybe a follows up later in the season as well.
I can't wait for the start of the second workshop, not long now.
Stay safe mate, a hospital is not whee you want to be going at present I would not normally make this sort of comment, but we treasure you and the journey you are on.
I concur, it would be great to see an update in a few weeks when the saplings have their leaves on. i'd also be interested in seeing a garden update once the seeds are all sprouted.
The yellow thing that you place on the end of logs to winch them out of the woods is just the coolest thing.
Girl Power, always ready to save the day!
The lock down, come on we are seventy years old on fixed income, anyway where the heck would we go lol
Hey mate, good to see you banging these video's out. cant believe that green and white tarp is still getting used. What a life its had. At least people cant say you don't up-cycle lol. nice looking timber you milled up there. cant wait to see the top workshop finished bud.
Yeah that tarp has served me well mate, wish i had more of them. great for keeping the sun off wood and drying it out to fast. hope you are keeping well mate.
Thrilled as always when you post a new video. Thank you for your willingness to share with us.
Hello! Very glad that you and Dot are well and hopefully all your animals are also. Good work, both of you, on getting the wood out and where you need it to be.
Bless Dot...and you!
Of course we appreciate you. I love watching your Vlogs. Such a hard worker. Thanks Kris keep safe......you and Dot. X
It's nice you're able to harvest your own resources and take advantage of the outdoors. I wish I were there helping you. I'm locked down in Massachusetts, USA ... in an apartment in the city. You've inspired me. I'm hoping to get some yard work done today ... city stuff like remove all the litter that has blown into the front yard and see what's coming up in the back. Cheers.
Area beatification is good work too. I'm starting seeds inside for my little garden. 🌱
In the USA, Public SERVANT'S DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO GIVE ORDER TO the people !!!!. Learn the Law ! Nobody is under any Quarantine or Lockdown unless you live in a Communist State. Only Businesses incorporated into the State and Employees.FACT.
@@harrynutsackk It's lockdown as far as I'm concerned Mr Nutsac. There is a global pandemic going on. No need to be an ass about it.
Love your vids, sir. Very informative, practical and realistic. Hello from the U.S. and please keep posting! 👋
The perfect video to watch on a lovely sunny afternoon!
i look forward to your uploads, thank you
Ahahah keep the blaspheming down Dot that had me 😂😂 thanks for another great video/hard work 👍🏻
We DO appreciate it Kris! Carry on.
U got mad initiative & grit , appreciate the inspiration bro
Great team work Dot
Love this time of the year and great job Kris, stay safe, isolation no challenge to ye I hope
Glad you have help Kris, l believe that everything is gonna fall in place for you! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
Keep up the work. Looks brilliant.
Thanks Dot for camera work! Great to see progress on the construction project! Glad you got the oak and ash hauled out and milled!
Have you looked at ordering some mushroom inoculation plugs? Why leave the stumps to slowly rot when you can inoculation them with a plug or two and have a source of mushrooms for a few years.
With the wind, solar and hydro setup would it be worth it to tap the second stream with the looks of hooking it to a car AC pump to get free heating and cooling out of the water? Hot and cold storage tanks to let you send coolant from the tanks to where you need the hot/cold coolant.
I just ordered morel spores. Hoping it'll be an addition along with the garden I'm starting work on.
I just posted exactly the same thing re: mushroom inoculation, then realised you had already posted. Great minds think alike 😄
The only thing to consider is that the mycelium will kill the stump, so not good if you're coppicing. It doesn't sound like that's the case here though.
A little while ago Kris posted a video about diverting water from the other stream to help feed his hydro electric turbine. He showed the high point of the stream at the border of his land and the route the pipeline would have to follow to avoid a high point of land while heading to his hydro shed.
shitake loves oak...
Ayyyye I remember you from the other videos lol
Thanks for making the trip to get the camera!
Looks like you need a chipper to process the brush. The chips are handy in the garden or animal pens. Maybe a few goats would clear up the underbrush. I love the cone you use to twitch out the logs.God bless Dot.
That's tough work felling in such thick foliage, but you certainly persevere! Some good lumber there for the upper workshop, looking forward to see the progress... please keep these videos coming! Thanks!
Hi Kris, I read somewhere that they call hung up trees like that, widow makers ! Take care young sir ✌❤
We do appreciate it man.
Breaking news from Wales: Giant phalluses creeping through woods and fields, hunting farmers on their tractors...
:-D
Great job on these trees!
Stay safe, you both!
:-D
LOL, that was a surprise appearance coming out of the woods. Oh geez, no pun intended.
Whatever is going on in the world this guy is being constant
mushroom and phallic. Sorry these are the words that came into my mind when watching.
Thank you for the content, I've watched every video from the start.
Kris I have always thought that your a bloody good "feller" (pun most certainly intended) Thanks for another enjoyable video mate
Good day Kris.
Still going strong. Fantastic. Take care.
lol, you are like a modern day 007 with the weapons you pull out in your videos. I am waiting for the laser cutter next, envy all over. Stay safe..
the joys of felling trees in dense areas lol. someone should send kris a bunch of mushroom spawn and plugs, he has all this great low woodland with access to various hardwoods. he could grow some great food.
I am hoping to do that soon. it has been on the list for a while
We do appreciate your efforts to show us what you're doing Kris. (Or at least I do.) The close of businesses and social distancing here in the States is taking its toll on us all. We've about done all the yardwork we can so far at my house. Just watching someone working outside in their daily life helps. I've meant to ask if you've found any Roman coins or bits in your diggings on your property. I have watched a few Time Team digs in Wales and it seems they often find items there.
Salut super tank you vidéo magnifique bravo
Nice to see a rare specimen of the Giant Yellow-headed Ash Snake making its way over the ground 😂
Very interesting! You forget what difficult and dangerous work logging and milling is.
Don't ja love timber , Kris when saw the thumbnail thought you were about to chip out a canoe ha ... has to be so satisfying milling ja own timber .
Stay safe.
At 20:12, when you started to pull the log with the yellow "hat" and a long branch out to either side just below, I thought "He's pulling an Ent!"
Kris love your vids
Regards from aust.
In Oz, got a lot of work around house to keep me going. Glad for it, but slow at 77 yo. Cris has strength to spare, so watch his endeavours.
Goat Willows? Bane of my life, grow like weeds and forever need taking down.
where did you learn to fell trees like this dude? i feel like this is one of the more critical skills for a lifestyle like yours. I've been watching for a while and this is still a skill i cant get my head around.
Even though you don't have the Larch, you could use the Shou Sugi Ban technique to protect the wood from rot over the years.
Some people have taken the term bodger as derogatory anything but it's was a skilled craftsmen
That's because in modern usage, it's meant as a nickname for someone who does bad work, often making a more expensive and messy job out of anything they tackle. I know - My Dad was the Bodger General!
I have a spring pole lathe and love when people call me a bodger 😁 mainly because I'm in the USA lol
I've never heard this word before.
Kris, if you are going to continue harvesting your own logs, purchasing a snatch block might be a good investment.
Great work kris! Living the videos!!
If you turn on the subtitles you can see that everytime he fires up the chainsaw it says "music".
I agree.
I once spent a week coppicing/felling with a hand-tools only team. The sound of thudding axes, ringing billhooks and "Timber!" is still a fond memory.
Good job! 🙏👍😎
we're currently on day 14 of a 30 day lockdown here in South Africa. Cabin fever is starting to set in. You're quite lucky to be able to keep busy during the lockdown. Don't know how much of millable trees you have on your property but would it be worth it to build a bandsaw to making milling easier. I think you'd enjoy that project.
i sader good shout
As I sadder says I’d love to see you build a big band saw
Always refreshing to watch a new video especially now during lockdown. @Kris is there a chance we could see how the trees you planted way back are growing?
Love your videos Kris, really inspiring. Have you ever considered growing mushrooms by inoculating some tree stumps or logs with mushroom spawn? I believe it will kill the stump, so not great if you're coppicing, but good if you don't need any new growth.
Yes, i was hoping to get some in this year but im not sure at the moment. i want to do a big pile of shiitake in the woods
Another great vid. Cheers
Can you make a video on what different types of wood can be used for? I'm specifically interested in the uses of sycamore and whether it would any use on a small round house sort of project? I have read that it shrinks so was thinking that it may not be the best for logs for walls?
I would love to see
an update on all those trees you planted a while back?
Kris: what kink of trees are those that are so narly on your property? Your wooded area reminds me of Sleepy Hollow!?!?! The growth is so thick. Thanks and I enjoy your show!!!
Please please please be more careful when your useing a chain saw! I've seen you do some dangerous stuff with the ms200t too. I'm just thinking of you Bro. Love the channel keep up the good work bro
Hello two u both from west London
Looks beautiful were u are bro..x
The ground doesn't look that soft, but wow. A lot of hard work just dealing with that. BTW, Dot doesn't seem to have any problem carrying that plank and no major swearing involved! lol
Few goats to help with bramble growth would be perfect
I just had to cut a tree today that was leaning on my barn. It was sketchy because I had to get about 12' up and stand on the Y and top it, then fell the limbs, and finally the base. I hate persimmon trees lol
You needed a big 4x4 quad
You are working really hard, makes me tired!!
Safety glasses!
Love your videos! Question - before you fell a tree, do you check that there are no birds nests or birds living there? Thanks
Please have some water nearby and pour it over your cuts, it’s a really good way for us to see the grain x
Julian Shaw - I think you meant, "pour over the wood you just cut so we can see the wood grains."
Your words might be misconstrued as meaning cuts on his hands.
@@pattimuscarella6369 That's exactly what I thought until he mentioned grains ... I was like what? LOL
.. Why do sheeple insist on regulations when your on your own property...if you don't like don't watch..love your work..what a great woman you have with you..don't forget Easter eggs..😄
That spot in which the tractor sunk just pack those holes with gravel
Thank you. Stay safe, both of you, and everyone. Good wood! But stop torturing Dot, no good..
Hey Kris, Thanks for your videos! What is that yellow torpedo you are using for hauling logs? Where do you buy that?
Morning, have you done any videos on blade sharpening (plane/chisels)?
Nice work cutting oak in that inviroment is Hard. They juse to hit other branches and get stuck.
Now to saftey sally. Read IF u want.
Cutting dead treas is really dangerus becuse of dead branches. Falling down on u.
When pulling with tractor u must have an lower ancoring point or it can tip over.
Ceep up The good work and ure chainsaw is wicked charp.
She's like I'm going to hurt you once the camera is off lol.😂😂
👍🏻 Good job. I love my chainsaw mill.🍻!!!
Chris, Chris!!! PLEASE!! Some sort of safety glasses. You've only got one set of eyes and it would be hard to do your great projects blind!
Too true!!
@@LitoGeorge Maybe you should have worn bins.
.....and ze zafty nazzi's av arrived....
@@unhippy1 It's sound advice, as a tree surgeon of over 30 Yrs I've kept my comments to myself about Chris's chainsaw work. But safety around a chainsaw isn't something to be mocked.
Consider buying or creating a lav mic aka "lavelier". You can rip out the microphone from an old cell phone, a laptop, etc. Electroboom has a video on it with an amplifier circuit and the works. It would be a good investment and fix your rather variable volume issues. If you can figure out hydroelectric power distribution and all the rest of the stuff you have, I'm sure you could tackle a project like that in a few days. Worst case, just buy one I suppose.
Get some proper ppe!!!!
Love what you do, but sort it out. Until you've had eye damage you don't realise how fragile they are.
Stay safe👍
I’m sure that someone has asked this, but could you use the winch to pull the hung up tree down?
People should take notice....this is a guy who is not aware of ANYTHING that is going on in the world and he doesn't care!......He is in his own little world. Just IMAGINE, how you can be in this world too. End Times are amazing!
7:40 That is called a widow maker.
