The Great Adventure Begins
The Great Adventure is not a new idea. Ain't no wild hare run up my butt. It's something that Shirli and I spent years dreaming of and planning toward. The sad exception to the plan is that I'm making it solo now that Shirli is no longer physically in this world.
In part, it is a memorial run in honor of Shirli. In part, it's just for me ... not to discover myself [I know full-well who I am.] but to sever some stressors that are pulling me apart and reclaim myself.

18th Anniversary Front Porch Serenade

I did this "live" on Facebook this morning. It's been a long, long time since I've had a pick between my fingers and my vocal chords are way out of shape. I'm knocking the rust off these strings and stretching my vocal chords. Yep. There's no time like the present to get back at it where playing guitar and singing songs is concerned. Original music.

Kentucky Woodsmen Spring Gathering 2021

Camped in a quiet, peaceful, lakeside mountain setting at Fishpond Lake in Letcher County, Kentucky for 5 nights to attend the annual Spring Kentucky Woodsmen gathering. Shirli and I had a great time and met some awesome "heart-kin" people, some are RUclipsrs whom we've known for years via the marvel of the internet but until this weekend had not met face to face. Now to get things ready for ou...
Day Hike And Lunch By The Lake

It was bitter-sweet to see it again. Built back in the Dirty-Thirties by the Civilian Conservation Corp, tornadoes destroyed the park a couple years ago. I had to get back in there and get a look at it now that the debris has been hauled out. Outdoor adventure in the Lower Alabama woods and waters.
CANWAY Stove And A Horse Camp Surprise
Просмотров 1263 года назад
Our weekend camping trip to Coleman Lake was met with an interesting twist that we did not plan on. The horse camp only added to the adventure! In this video I do an initial trial of the CANWAY stick stove. Every fire is an opportunity to practice our skills so I used this little stove and its first fire to cook up a cup of sassafras tea. I'm looking forward to many fires in this little stove. ...

Traditional Archery - Working On My Shot Cycle
Very Effective method. I also use a rope and a sturdy six foot branche as a lever to pull it in the length direction.
I've used your trick to clear trails in the woods in Washington state so many times now thanks to you, and every time someone sees me do it they are astonished. THANKS A BUNCH!
EXCELENTE VIDEO!!! 🙌
Smart, not hard. Love this! Great job brother 👊
Iv'e been off the youtube for awhile and did not know of Shirli's passing...so very sorry for your loss David...I hope you are doing well amigo and that you will give an update...God bless...woods
Cual pellet recomienda?
Great presentation. I just ordered that same pellet rifle. I got a pellet pen to hold about 15 pellets. Makes loading a break barrel very easy!
Thanks! feel stupid for not knowing this
Well I'll be...!! I can see now how you got to be so grey headed... It took so long to move that there thing. Golly i almost turned grey myself just a watching you.
Wish I would have found your channel sooner. Happy to subscribe because I'm pretty sure we would be friends! That was really good. Thanks for sharing your experiences with this air rifle. You told me everything I wanted to know.
That's fine for smaller logs. For larger, much heavier logs, I use the ole flip-flop winch. It's slow and tedious but it works and when you're one man working alone, you gotta do what you gotta do
Buck 110 and 119 are the only knives most people will ever need. 110 for everyday pocket carry and for butchering (I have found that short knives work better for getting the meat off the animal), and the 119 for field dressing and field/campsite work.
What is the name of that instrument he started using together with rope please?
*- Nice!* *- Find the laziest engineer around to solve the impossible problems, right?*
So glad I saw this video. Had a 30” oak fall straight across the right of way to our camp property. After getting it sized down to 14’ I was able to use my 1” nylon rope to my 5k winch and easily rolled the beast of the road…instead of dragging it. What an effort savor.
Thos!e are not heavy logs! I need to move 6000# logs
Got mine today. 👋😎👍
Flintstone dragster?
A pressure cooker cooks coon or any other meat quick and tender, then you can smoke it roast it whatever ...
Stupid. Put 2 pole rails under log rolls easy
She will be with you always. See and do all you both planned she is still with you. God bless you. Condolences for you. Go on to honor her and fulfill your self.
Oh my. You touch my heart. Thank you. God bless you too, Nana.
Glad to see you out and about my brother...
It's been a hard ride, bro. I need to come park Fred in your yard soon.
Awesome video. 👍 Safe Adventures
Thank you. I think you are here in Alabama. Where? Judging from your stuff, I'd say NE.
@@DavidKralikOutdoors yes sir. I’m about 4 miles straight west from Jacksonville state university. I’m also close to Talladega national forest and Cheaha state park. Look forward to watching you and Fred’s travels. God Bless. ✝️😀
@@creek_camper I know that area well. I've camped on Dugger Mountain and at Coleman Lake. I'll be back up in that area. Probably soon. I'm in Lower Alabama. Now in Escambia County.
@@DavidKralikOutdoors yes Coleman lake is awesome. Give me a holler when your up this way. Love to meet you if time allows. 😀
@@creek_camper I'll do it, bro.
Nice to meet you. I like the God hand in things too. My van is called Dawn, cos it was the start of a new life, that's five years ago now, and my companion for the past 15 years, my dog, is called Fred.
Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the comment.
Glad to see you taking your time and letting your "build" grow on you. I think that's the single most common advice we give people is to throw a cook stove, sleeping bag, and cooler in your van, then go live in it. What will be will come to ya. 😉 Also, think in 3D, houses are measured in sq ft, vans are all about how you use all the space.
Exactly. Then there's no major re-do to do.
Sounds like a great time of fellowship and remembrance. I am glad you have the opportunity to do this brother!
It's a got to bro. And I know where E. KY is and how to get there.
@@DavidKralikOutdoors You always have a place to park Fred up here brother!
@@KentuckyWoodsman y'all are extened family. There's a heart connection here.
I'll be watching for the Fred & Dave's Adventures. There's a lot of different air, trees and rocks to experience up here in my neck of the woods. If you wander up this way, let me know. Lots of State & Federal campgrounds up here also. Plus some acreage one one could camp on.
One suggestion for your stove set up. Those green propane bottles can get mighty expensive. I know a 20# bottle can take up room, but, it way more economical. See if you can figure out a system or spot to safely store a 20# and invest in a hose and adapter. Around these parts, it's pretty easy and affordable to exchange tanks out.
I have plans to visit Wisconsin.
Good Bones To Start With, Happy To See "FRED" Progress, David. ATB Ter & Mel God Bless
Thanks, Terry. God bless you and Mel.
You always meet the nicest people when camping or travelling. I am interested to see how you fit out Fred for your travels. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks, Bro. It's something I've got to do.
@@DavidKralikOutdoors I get that. When I lost my wife I did a trip around northern Europe for a bit, just to get my head together.
@@frogmaster83 It's a heck of a thing to go through.
With all those trees around you know this review is 100% no bullshit and it has taken many squirrels lives 😂
Would it be quicker to hook up two Corgi dogs to pull it? 😁 (👍)
You can fix that trigger with a 3x10mm screw
That might be the coolest thing I ever seen
Greetings David, from Jackson, Mississippi. Guess us Southern guys have a lot in common! I too trap on my 20 acre homestead and do also eat some of the raccoons I trap. My trapping is mostly for predator control so the extra meat is just a side benefit. Like you I prefer to par-boil and grill my raccoons. Some of your viewers may want to check out a short video I posted on my channel several years ago about grilling raccoons. It may take a few times to cultivate a taste for raccoon, as some people just don't like dark meat animals or enjoy anything that is greasy. But grilling raccoon make it more like grilled pork ribs. Greasy ribs never seems to bother anyone! I find that raccoon meat benefits from a very generous amount of pepper. Don't be afraid to use plenty. Finally, here's a tip for your trapping. Raccoons eat ANYTHING they find. So I use any unused portions of the raccoon carcass as bait in my traps. Raccoons have no qualms about eating one of their own kind. Letting the meat get a slight bit stale and tainted gives it an odor that really pulls the raccoons into a trap set. Nice video. Thanks for sharing it.
Nice job god bless
Cool thanks mate
Hey David it’s Tommy herring thank you for the traps I need to get your phone number so I can contact you
I can do all that without using a single thing. Get someone else to do it!
Nice. one for the little guy.
Good info!
In Arkansas I don't rely on the government so I'm 35 if no one is there I do it myself probably getting to were I'm going to make it eiser on me , Pain might be different I broke some bones in life due to motocross but by yourself I felt pain in my pelvis so Pele will add lies and say I ripped a muscle but I'm from Arkansas that was got letting me know not to Life so heavy but it seems I cut a BiG apple tree and I never sewn such huge chunks but I'm going to sit am split tomorrow Awesome video an being from Arkansas a rope an a Lawnmower is all I got but I appreciate this specific way seems very strong but I don't TRUST IN GREEN PAPER OR Modern Government Missquitos must be From my area it Arkansas state bird lol thank you as well !!
I had a bundle of railroad ties snap and roll down hill over me, there's nothing to stop that weight once it wants to start going right over you. Tore my achilles heal tendon and turn my foot inside out over the back of the heel. Logs do what they want.
OUCH!
Oh wow,so simple..thanks.
Heck, that’s neat. I’ll be using this technique where I can, instead of waiting for help.
It will get it done.
Nice demo stuff like this keeps trades alive.
People would be very surprised what you can do with a 11,000 pound (tensile strength) bull rope, 6ft of chain, snatch block(s), one pry bar, and a truck. Up here in the Rockies we start gathering standing dead Pine Firewood at 9,400 ft elevation in Boulder County, CO. . No mosquitoes!! We start in August when the temps are at comfy air conditioning levels like 68 degrees or lower. In heavily Wooded alpine forests. When we first started without snatch blocks and had to go tree to tree on incline and often had to run up the mountain to switch trees to get a straight run down to the road. Firewood gathering up here is an essential part of life here. It’s survival at its finest. We love doing it. Two men, one to maneuver through the forest one to pull it with the F150. We have a 10,000 lb Warn Winch on the Front of this truck but it’s SLOW. We only use that winch when pulling very large logs UPhill. We use minimal gear and has worked for us the last 11 years. Some may call it log skidding. What we’re essentially doing is a homemade trader system. I highly recommend this life. Great video sir. Much appreciated.
Awesome how you give thanks to God n Jesus. Ty for that. I'm 54,been carrying a buck 110 most of my life and tired of all the hoopla about steels etc etc. Buck makes a working man's knife at a working man's price and that's good enough for me.
mosquitoes in nov lol
thanks for sharing. On our 5 acre property I do have a fair amount of trees that I remove. Even if I mill the logs in place, the end result is having a heavy piece to move to the drying rack. As I move pieces that are typically 12 feet long, rolling becomes impractical as I don't have a wide area to roll. I do use a mechanical assist in the form of a log arch which works extremely well and I can hand pull even across uneven terrain. thanks again. stay healthy, stay safe
If you tied the ends of the rope together, you'd have a continuous loop and wouldn't need to stand on the rope and the rope could be much shorter.
