Great video. I fully agree. Have the small forest ax from GB. Also great.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I had to laugh at the wood bin with the pulls at your wood cutting station. That was one of three or so under-bench drawers my dad made by hand for our house in Kirkland, when he made a built-in bench and paneled the entire basement with wood himself. It didn't age well but the basement family room didn't need to look fancy. I forgot that he'd taken some of those drawers with them when they sold the house and moved out to West Fork. Imagine a couple toddlers pulling on those knobs to get boxes of Legos and blankets out during playtime, and you'd be right back in the mid-'80s with me and my brother. Glad the wood shed is serving you well. I hope you had a lovely holiday and wish you the best for 2025.

Seems we never know what to expect from ol' Man Winter anymore. You may get bombed yet. Meanwhile, i get it about having to lift shovels of heavy wet snow over a deck rail...but that rail of yours is just way to nice to remove. I think your section openings are a fine plan. Meanwhile, enjoy those open woods...and dont eat any fly larvae omlets 🤢😄

I understand completely about the physical requirements of winter snow removal. I finally broke down this week and obtained an electric snow blower for cleaning the snow off of roof and deck. Manual snow removal was just getting too physically demanding for my wife and I.

It’s been an odd year here too. Dry and warm…pretty much since early last summer we’ve been 10-15 degrees above normal. That snow looked heavy…lots of water in it. Well, the hens better get after it instead of relying on the government. Haha

I had two by four horizontal rails on my deck and I never cared for them. I replaced the top rail with a treated 2x6 and pulled all the other rails off. I bought plastic covered steel cable from Lowe’s and used a long aluminum level to mark off five rows of holes. If you use one length of cable on each section of fence, you can tighten one level at a time until the whole thing is tight. I used a stainless steel screw to anchor each end and the finished product was pretty nice looking. I couldn’t believe how much better the view was when I didn’t have all those boards to look at. Lynette gave it a five star rating and it has been there for two years with no glitches. If you would like some close up shots of the details, just let me know.

Them Turkeys look like want some of that chicken stew. We didn't get much snow last year. The year before that we were Deer belly deep. It's been a wet one on the west side.

Good to see you are getting some moisture but that rain and slush can get messy for sure. We replaced our log deck rail with just 3 rows of steps all the way around the deck. That way you can shovel off anywhere and you have no obstruction to the views and can walk off the deck at any place vs. going to the stairs. It was a bit of a project but it opens up the deck and is easier to stain and maintain than the log railings in my opinion. I like the close up shot of those chickens eating the special recipe and hope you get some more snow!

Did I ever mention how much I hate snow?

Glad you gave those Hens a reprieve, they sure are eatin’ good today! Take care my friend-Happy New Year

Hey Kevin. I was wondering if you could somehow have a section of railing that could swing open like a gate. I imagine your current railing would be too heavy for that but maybe you could have a section made out of aluminum that you could swing out to push snow through (or enjoy the view) and close and latch when you’re done. Be a cool little project for you too. Thanks for sharing my friend and have a great weekend!

Winters sure ain’t what they used to be when I was a youngster. Karen and I went snowshoeing today with Bodh scoping out some potential shed hunting ground. It was a nice fluffy consistency but warm weather and rain are on the way so the snowshoeing will have to wait til we get more snow. Love the Swedish cope style of your logs on the Cabin. Ours are a milled tongue and groove style…. Nice and tight and it was an easy kit to put together but I like the look of yours a little better. Take care Kevin.

Nice and moody

Merry Christmas to you and yours Kevin and another great video. We have yet to have any snow as well and I can't remember the last time it has been this warm in December. Congratulations on getting your buck and always good to have fresh meet in the freezer. I'm curious what breed of chickens do you prefer and why? Thank you again for all your great work and sharing your lifestyle with us - I for one really appreciate it. God Bless.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, thanks for all the great videos including my favorite Wild River...I watch it several times a week when I need to take a moment to reflect on fond memories from days gone by...Enjoy that fire with family and friends.....Ron from Indiana.....

Merry Christmas my friend! Glad to hear everything is going good at West Fork. I hope you folks have a happy new year and God bless you brother. Still shopping around for a stove but I’ll keep you posted!

Congrats on the buck Kevin. Wow, if we got that much rain here we'd be in mud up to our waist. haha Merry Christmas to you and Sarah.....and Tig.... and many blessings!

Merry Christmas!!!! Enjoy that fire 🔥

Is it really necessary to spend a ton of money on a froe?? I want one badly but I am not spending GB money for a froe. Seems like pretty much anything would work?? Thanks for the video

Wow Kevin you got all kinda groceries running around your place! That 2am buck was a big boy for sure. Hope you fill the freezer my friend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

The West Fork feeding station is one busy place! That's a lot of hormones running around out there throwing caution to the wind. Nice turkey flock too. That Browning takes nice vids. Hope you can get some fresh venison for the freezer. Good luck!

got some fine specimens there. That 6x5 looks like a hoss. Is there one with a broken or is it just a stumpy tine on one side.

Convex grind needs getting used to time. I have handed some of mine convex sharpened knives to my friends to do some tasks with it, and they have had a hard time even thinking those were not sharp. Well, they were razor sharp, but the people who are not used to such knifes use it under the wrong angle and slide on the convex shoulder. In axes there are different approaches to some tasks. For example chopping or in felling you say convex is not good for you. Well if used correctly convex actually pops off good chunks of chips out of the tree. Narrower blades have to have some heft and convex grind to work. That's how Swedish forest axes work. While in some other countries blade is longer and flat ground under smaller angle. They have to have small angle so yhat they can go deep enough with wider blade. They are more predictable as well. Though one would not believe hiw much work can be done with Scandinavian first axe that's is a size of a boys axe. For example my Wetterlings Firest axe can take 8 inch tree so fast that you couldn't believe considering the head size and weight. But it just simply works. It just kicks out bigger chunks. So when you want to cut, for example, under 45 degrees you actually need to hit at 50 degrees. Then it will bite in with no problems.

Looks like plenty of turkey. 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving!

Very cool Kevin. There were a couple pretty nice bucks in that footage. I liked the little one antlered buck...he must have tangled with a big one. Bucks and bulls sure lose good sense when the rut is on....glad we humans aren't like that....well maybe some are. Anyway, have a very blessed Thanksgiving - we sure have a lot to be thankful for!

Hoje dia 26/11/24 revendo o seu vídeo . O seu dog olhando para a câmara, fofura!

salutations , la vie la plus simple avec son amie merci de la franche comptée france et le partage

Hi, new subscriber here! What a beautiful day and your dog is adorable! 😊

May I know what is the name of the knife that you are using in this video?

Bom vídeo. Voce se protege mais de animais agressivos com seu dog junto.

Я все языки знаю, кроме иностранных😂😂😂😂

Okay this is pretty darn cool and what a neat little knife. Great job on bringing it back to life and I like the pull tab idea. I really like the happenings at West Fork and that's a nice buck in the background!!

You have amazing "wood vision" Kevin meaning I really enjoy how you can envision and make a great camp spot with some down trees and moving stuff around. I struggle with this and from the beginning of the video I was like "what's he going to make....this is going to be good" and sure enough another great one!! Thank You!!!

Came back to watch this again a couple of more times. So much good stuff packed into this video. One of my favorites for sure.
