Almost Home Ranch

Family of 8 goes off the grid in the Pacific Northwest. Follow us on our journey as we build our new home and reclaim our lives as a family. Our property is at nearly 4500 feet elevation and we're more than 6 miles away from the nearest utility. We don't claim to know everything as we are learning along the way. Our goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible like the pioneers were. We believe that God has a special plan for our family and perhaps show others the way as well. Come join us as we learn together!

Was this a snowplow video or a loader operater farting video? Either way it was entertaining 😂
squeaky seat...
Why would you push the drift back when the wind will continue to push it across? Why not flip your blade and finish what the wind started?
So let me answer this question yet again to explain. I appreciate you watching! This is mountain snowplowing so it's a bit different then regular roads. I have a more long-term plan than just the immediate clearing. First off, the road is sloped downhill to the left (windward side) and if I moved it all right then the cut would immediately blow back in and fill the road. Secondly, I build it up (on the downhill) so that I can accumulate enough snow to create a snow fence. What I do is come back with the bucket and push it all back about 50-70' (downhill exposed areas). That usually helps a lot in slowing down the wind (and snow) and it accumulates there instead of in the road. Of course the wind can shift around in a blizzard and all bets are off then. I hope this helps to explain as I've been doing this many years now and I've tried different methods. Thanks again!
Wow.. This is a beautiful place to plow in this gorgeous contry side road., Very cool video here, Thanks for the video.
bizarrely satisfying
NICE VIDEO!
wouldnt a snowblower be better?
Would love to have someone donate one for us to use. :) These are commercial units made for municipalities and they run $100-$200K (if you can find them).
13:00 why don't you drive on the right and push the snow to the right side?
wunderschöne Natur, cooles Video 🙂 konnte Stundenlang zusehen... Abo geht raus ❤
it looks like you only recorded a quarter of your screen. i can't really see what you're doing
despite not seeing what you're doing, following your vocal instructions--it still worked! thank you. and i'm on windows 11, too! still worked!
Honestly with a machine that size and tire chains I'd make the first push with a straight blade, not angled, because you don't have to worry about spillover. I do it all the time with my plow truck. Also, depending on snow depth I angle the plow less to make the swath wider. The more snow the more angle. When I come to a drift I push the snow to the leeward side, piling it up on the windward side just makes the drifts worse over time.
Where is this beautiful place at ? I must move there and bring Caterpillar and help you out....
After writing the configuration to the station, it reboots with the old data, new ones are not written.
Thank you so much !
I’ll take a lot more video of your house build, really enjoy it
My TYT 380 arrived this afternoon and I've been trying to install the drivers... this video has saved me hours & hours. Now working on Win 10 in a VMware VM. Can't thank you enough for posting it. 73
May 8 2024 leadville,co we got 20 inches overnight it was like moving cement.
I use a snow blower.
Which country....
How long is this road?
Hey, time for the sleds, boys!
Very similar to what we have up here in B.C. I plowed snow as a kid on an MF 135 with a blade on the loader attachment. Love looking at the Cascade mountains!
Location and elevation, the sky at night must be incredible.
Easy for you to say because black people didn’t have their own farms back then and the few that did was stripped of them to benefit your people
What a great lifel❤❤❤ 1:19
LUCKY...❤❤❤❤❤YOU
Had to laugh at your comment about “still learning” at about 20 minutes. I’ve been a truck driver for 38 years, still learning. Trouble is, when I almost have all the answers, somebody starts changing the questions….
You need a battery op blower to dust that thing off.
Like your snow plowing videos, commentary is good. Also, would like to see the completion of your house videos past the siding stages. Thanks a bunch.
Enjoyable video :)

This place is away from people! Love it!
Really sucks .
who pays for this`, milage, fuel, salary?
I wish I could say that it was supported by someone else but it's all self-supported.
Yes, it's clear that it takes time when he's plowing with a shovel instead of a snow blade, but he'll probably learn when he gets older to use the right tool for the job!
Sometimes the best tool is the one you have rather than the one you don't. My offer still stands. Anyone is welcome to come up and bring there machine to help us out. I appreciate you watching.
How wide is your blade?
It's 12' wide
You have gotten far more snow then we have in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
Is that your main gate? I've noticed you don't open it all the way when you plow. and your monroe plow at one time would have had skid shoes on it , I know you said you don't have them on there cause they rip up the ground and hit the rocks ,you would think that with them on it would be better than the whole blade hitting the rocks in the road, to bad you cant modify a bucket with a blade on it ,you could then tilt the bucket back a little so it would ketch on everything ,,just a thought.
How many miles of road do you talk care of?
about 6 miles down and then back
I love riding with you.
Tractor? That's a wheel loader.
You need a grader with a wing
I've thought about it.. Might get a wing for the snowplow blade
Why plow to the high side of the hill……why not push the snow over the side to the low area?
Thanks for sharing this! I was about ready to pull my hair out. This worked for me!
Which state are you in?
WA
That sure is a lot of Snow!
Where are you located? Here in Ohno, even in b the snow belt, we no longer get plowsble snow. By the time you walk out to your plow truck, the snow has melted.
VERY IMPRESSIVE, THANKS FOR SHARING! I TOO HAD AN OFF GRID HOME
These trees are fab. They define this state. There is no place like Cali in the entire Uni, and that's a fact.
Do you plow the road for your township or county where you live? I had operated pay loaders most of my adult life and your pay loader would have a float control built into the machine ,but without skid shoes on the blade it would just dig in ,kind of like its do now, Maybe if you're in mind to think outside the box, Arctic Sectional snow pusher blades are made for the harshest environments, they have sections that move when you hit a curb or a rock,and then spring back and keep going,I watch DIRT MONKEY FORCE on the youtube and he and ARCTIC have an understanding and him and their company test these pusher blades beyond their limits It might be something to look at in the future ,Makes plowing a bit smoother and fun,Take care
Thank you for your kind note. I plow 6 miles of mountain road without being compensated from anyone. I do this for live/safety reasons as well as to keep it open for the other property owners up here. I will definitely take a look at the Arctic plows. It's just that I'm doing this on a shoestring budget. I'm sure you can understand.
Won't a snow blower work better there
