Thieves discovered my grandpa's woodshed in the forest and stole most of his firewood. This was a devastating blow to my grandfather (who is in his 90s), especially since he used the firewood to heat his home and provide for his family. It doesn't seem fair, that a thief can take in 1 hour what an honest hard-working man took 1 year to work for. Well today my dad and I put a stop to it.
My dad and I have been on a journey to build our own log cabin. This series of videos is a 'behind-the-scenes' look of our bigger "Log Cabin on a Budget" series:

simplisafe.com/theoutsider Special thanks to the SimpliSafe team for helping my grandfather out.
Thank you for sharing. ❤👍🌹
What music is that playing in the end? It’s nice
The Outsider thus happen to us, l went to the HOSPITAL to see my husband and while l was gone someone back a truck up to our wood and took cords of wood .the police would not do a thing about it even tho the snow tracks led to a neighbors, them knowing we were disabled and heated our house with it . so chances are you know them. Yes we had paid to have the wood split. What a shame.
So sorry to hear that Doloris. If I was your neighbour, I'd definitely come around to help you get your wood pile sorted back out.
@@TheOutsiderCabin i tried to order off your link, when i click add to cart, nothing happens. Tried numerous different packages they offer. All samething, nothing happens. I go back to main page and cart is empty too.
When I was a kid, 1950s, we solved the problem this way. We drilled some 1-inch holes, 6-inches long, in some stove logs. Put 4 or 5 tablespoons of xxblack powder in a few, a few cotton balls and plugged the hole up. In 3 days, someone stole a half cord of wood during the day. That night, we found out who the thief was. Someone needed a new 500 dollar stove and about a thousand dollars in roof repairs. The whole neighborhood was thankful.
Hey that is a super one,Thanks for the ideas.
pat welch aw you sound like my family. Lol...that's priceless
That's incredible
Kids take wood... And boom
😂
It probably wasn’t the loss of the wood that nearly broke him; it was the loss of faith in his fellow man. This is what hits good people the hardest. I have the utmost respect for you and your grandfather brother. Kia kaha!

You could not have put it in better words. My home gets robbed all the time. It's not even the stuff; as much as it is not being able to trust anyone. Losing hope in fellow man. The hate of outsiders, to do it continually to same person. For no reason.
@@StillYHWHs Are you in New Zealand?
If you have faith in man, you have none in God.
@@salazam - I think what it means, is like, faith in that men would care & respect him. And God does ask us to treat the elderly with respect & kindness.
I have faith that God cares more than anyone, because he says so in his book & he proves it. But when men fail to care, it does kind of break your heart. We all need a little kindness. And he is elderly so he should be getting it extra.
God bless his children for helping him and bringing more wood. They are really fine examples to others.
@@brendaann727 1 Timothy 2:12 "Shut up woman."
My grandfather used to keep firewood stacked on the side of his house. Where he lived didn't have fences separating lots, but the homes were all built on doubles so there was always an empty lot between houses.
After the house next to him sold, the new owner decided to subdivide and sell the empty lot. Some Chinese investor swooped in and built a multi-family rental home right on the edge of my grandfather's property line. Where the morning sun used to shine through his living room window was now an ugly two story tall stucko-wall box.
The renters would stay up late drinking around their fire ring and every morning he would find firewood had been stolen. My grandfather tried confronting the renters, but the problem would always start up again. So, my grandfather moved his firewood to the front of his property. Still he'd find firewood missing. They would walk right across his front lawn and take it in the night.
My Dad and I helped helped build him a wood shed on the far edge of his property so he could lock up his firewood. We also put up a split rail fence and motion activated flood lights around his property. One night the renters built a huge bonfire in the fire ring and set their awning on fire. The fire quickly spread through the rental and my grandfather was terrified he might lose his home too. Luckily, the fire department came in time to put out the fire with only minimal exterior damage to my grandfather's home. Nobody was hurt, but the rental was so burned out, it had to be bulldozed to the ground.
The property owner couldn't be contacted and it appeared he simply abandoned it. So when the lot went up for auction my grandfather ended up buying it with help of my Dad and his brother. We moved the woodshed over to that side of the property, but my grandfather has no intention on building anything on that lot. He values his view, space, and privacy more.

More than anything that I learned from your video was, how FAMILY is so important to each other surviving... Thank you for watching over your Grandfather. Bless you all...
We call those people scum bags. It's nice to see both your father and you help out your grandfather. Family 1st
@John Tratselas. I agree they call them that here in the UK too. To think that they stole from a 90 year old man because they were too lazy or just opportunistic scum. It was a progression crime just to see if they could get away with it when they took small amounts each time their confidence grew, then came with the truck. I hope karma pays them back ten fold, sorry if that is unkind of me to say. But out there in the middle of nowhere were a warm fire can save your life, so stealing someone else's firewood is worse than stealing the deer. You can go without meat for a while but not heat when the temperature get to -40.
@@suzannetodaro5494 especially since elderly people are more likely to be affected by cold.
@@suzannetodaro5494 I agree it was a progression crime. Karma is a bitch when it bites back :)
Ass whoopins is what they need. Prolly needed that and a hug as a child to not grow up to be scumbies
"Family first." A motto that is full of honor.
I've been heating our home with wood for 21 years, and anyone who knows how much work it is to cut, haul,split, and load the wood would agree that is no punishment hard enough for someone that steals all the fruit of your labor. I applaud your Family work ethic.
I grew up just heating with wood. It was a lot of hard work. I hated cutting, splitting and stacking. I'm now older with grandkids and I'd love to heat with a wood stove again.
I too grew up heating and cooking with wood and coal. Would luv a wood stove now.
By the way, I think it spectacularly beautiful to find someone that helps take care of their grandfather. You present a very fine example to other people, and I think you should be proud of yourself ... I certainly am!
It's just a story to sell product for his sponsor. Who steals fire wood in the middle of nowhere?
@@ouncy 🙄
@@ouncy umm...thieves.
Wow to have both your dad & grandpa & you all are able bodied that's a blessing.
I'd be so Greatful to have a grandfather to take care of. They died when I was a young boy....
My dad now in his 80's still cuts his wood to heat his home. He's taken a couple spills in the last couple years scaring us kids. We try to help him out as much as possible but know that he and the saw are one. It's what he loves, and taking it away from him would be extremely hard. Love your story, it resonates our own life story.
The morals of some people leave a big question mark on society. But you and your dad cutting more firewood for your grandfather was a noble deed.
It wud be noble for a stranger, or distant neighbor. Its not NOBLE to take care of your elders. Its Christian. They take care of their parents by honoring him, thats what God meant by 'honor your parents'. He meant to help them in their old age; like they helped you as an infant.
It's so wonderful to know that there are children that care as much as you all did to help your AWSOME Grandfather. GOD Bless you all 😁👍
You’re a great grandson replacing the wood that had been stolen. So good of you to do that for him. Hats off to you .
That breaks my heart. On both counts! I’m so glad you found that gentleman! I actually asked in a previous video if you have security. I’m sad to hear Grandpa was robbed, but knowing you, I’m sure your splitting logs as we watch. Thank you to Simply Safe for protecting Grandpas hard work and wood!! Blessings on blessings. I hope your cabin site is protected too!
I was talking about thieves just yesterday to my fiancee. i told her I can not comprehend how someone could take something they did not own or work for themselves. This ethos was instilled in me at a very young age by my father. Thank you Dad - RIP. Watching this video I felt a combination of anger, rage, and vulnerability. Feelings that I don't often experience.
Thank you Simply Safe for sponsoring this video and more importantly restoring peace of mind to this family.
It may surprise you to know a lot of thieves are taught right, but ignore it.
Having lived on a large wooded property myself in the past, I'd be tempted to build them a nice tempting turn-around point for their truck and trailer. Then dig a 4 foot pit and cover it with 1/2" plywood and dirt. That way you get their truck as evidence and a free trailer ...…. Best way to catch an animal is with a trap.
Agreed
Exactly. They can't steal the wood w/o a truck and that would do more than just scare them away.
Messin with thieves that have guns. It's worth alot to them. How far would they go?
My dad had a lot of problems with people driving into his property and stealing wood and dumping trash. He laid a few old drags with cast iron spikes pointed up about 50 feet into the woods. It wasn't a but a week later there was a pickup wobbling down the dead end road with 4 flat tires, and a bent to hell drag hung up and wedged up under the truck sparking away.
@@JSAFIXIT That is a brilliant solution!
Man this is so cool. Living in kentucky, it's really cool seeing our boys in the north are way more badass and capable than your everyday encounter. Much respect
Burned firewood for about 30 years in MI. I also know how much work it is to cut, split, stack etc. Thank-you son & grandson for helping your grandfather replace the stolen wood etc. May GOD continue to bless your loving generous efforts.
Best part of the story was that you helped your grandfather and thought to replenishhis firewood. I love that you do so much with and for your family. Your a great young man. If you dont have kids you should, the world needs more people like you.
A-men to that...
I am Mrs. Outsider, and I have to thank you with all of my heart for speaking so highly of my husband. He is truly just as amazing at home as he is on camera.

Hi Mrs. Outsider. I know from personal experience. Outsider has a great family
@@mrs.outsider1265 Wow. Mrs. Outsider. What an honor that u would talk to us. It lets us be a little bit more friends. I hope that's not too pushy. We just love this journey of the cabin build with ur husband and father-in-law. And now u include us also. Thank you.
You are fortunate to have a tight family. Having lost mine, I know the value of what was taken. Having dealt with thieves, I assure you they will not profit in the end. They are sowing the seeds of their own destruction, even within their own families.
Thieves never win in the end. If they only knew this beforehand they might think twice about stealing something that doesn't belong to them. To steal is breaking one of God's commandments.
Id recommend a wonderful old security system, it has 4 legs and a loud bark, works best if you have a few of them.
@C J Bowen I love a happy ending ;)

Anxiously waiting for episode 2 of NCIS- Wood Shed
This made me laugh a little too hard 🤣
I pray that your grandfather is okay and that the thieves were caught! May God bless and keep him safe.
That tractor is awesome. Up here in Alaska many theives and poachers have died trying to steal or trespass, never to be seen or heard from again.
Tractor exhaust needs to be changed so ur not sucking up the diesel fumes
Kudos to SimpliSafe® for sponsoring this video and for helping @The Outsider's grandfather protect his property.
I hate a thief. Thats as low as a man can get. Stealing from a 90 yr
Old man. The thing that gets me. A 90 yr old man knows him self what struggling looks like. He probably is the type of guy that would help someone if they only asked.
I hear you Doug. These low life's need to wake up n fend for themselves without stealing. 👍 ✌
Lucio Anneo Seneca that's good if you ask first and give them some of what you harvested and offer to help them in some way especially if they can't do something for themselves, such as chopping wood, or helping to plant a garden, or shovel their sidewalk in winter,or if your like me and love children and animals, babysit for them, or walk their dog in the winter, or feed and water their cat when they go on vacation. Anything you can think of to help out around the house.
worst part is this is probably a thief in the family who knows the deal and figures grandpa has extra...
Stephen Morton also lazy. Chances are they are selling to other people.
NAILED IT!
I have a different solution if you read what I posted. 💀
Our family had this same issue, a wood covering of 100 cord about a mile from any road way on our land was being pilfered, 3-5 cord per year.
We installed a sign and a box and prices for anyone who needed the wood and was taking it, to pay for it there with a check, mail to our address or call 1 of our 3 phone numbers we had on the sign. The next September we had 1 check in the box,for 3 cord and a cashiers check was mailed to us for 9 cord from previous years, and a thank you note. Turns out in the end we only lost 7 total cord vs. The 25 we were originally down, just by putting up a good communication. And since the sign only lost 3 cord in the last 7 years total.
I know something about how some hunters can't be pretty wicked and evil folk. But, I rather doubt it was the occasional lost or confused / turned around hunter stealing a man's firewood from his shed. Anyway, I'm glad that you all found out about Simply safe and I'm very glad to know they were so friendly and helpful. Good luck to you and your father or grandfather and your family. Be blessed. Be safe.
I remember helping my grandfather with his small Allis Chalmers 🚜 tractor collecting logs in the woods. How peaceful. Thanks for the memory.
Dude, you rule.👍
Sounds like you're grandfather is quite the amazing man, you should do a interview about him
I'd like to see an interview with your dad as well.
Seconded. Thirded. You seem to be a self-reliant kind of guy, and it sounds like you picked up some life lessons from Grandad. I think we'd like to meet him, if he's up for it. If you'd prefer to preserve his privacy, I can respect that of course. But whatever, tell him I think his grandson is an okay dude.

My uncle uses drones to patrol his 400.acres he has caught poachers twice on his property
I was gonna say....
Obviously, they are using one to film. Why not use it to patrol...?
Seems like a great way to not only get into a hobby that you can enjoy with your kids/grandkids but to also provide security to your property
@John Taylor Stealing wood is the same as murder in this situation. Without that wood, the person dies of cold, can't heat, can't cook. You murder someone and you deserve your vehicle to not work
@John Taylor a pick axe to a radiator or a oxy torch to an engine block/transmission is not killing them....
@John Taylor Nope got my shit in order, plus I never said I would do anything the except drag it to court. You seem like the type to go around begging for what ever anyone else will give you....
Also for the record, my only nit pick about how this was handled in the video is the lack of attention to access control to the property its self. If they broke a gate or cut a fence that can be a much greater issue. (I assume there is some sort of access control like mentioned above of course.)
I was always taught to respect my elders especially when it comes to grandparents. Grandfather's are special and I've learned a lot from mine. Sadly he's no longer with me, but there isn't a day that goes by when I don't think about him. My memories of him are precious. It seems to me that you feel the same way about your grandfather as I do about mine. I'm truly sorry that your granddad had to deal with such a frustrating situation. It looks like your father, and yourself have got his back. The security system looks like it will do a fine job in protecting your grandfather's property. It's nice to see a family looking out for each. Hopefully none of you will have to deal with an incident of theft again. Much Respect Sent Your Way! Take care of you and yours always!
Thank you very much Tiffany.
Been following you from Ipswich, a town West of Brisbane, in the subtropics of (SEQ) South East Queensland Australia, for quite a while now. Being raised on dairy farms in Sth Otago NZ & a few yrs in 1971-73 in Malanda in Nth QLD, I am still a land girl at heart in my 64th yr. I love escaping with you & your Dad into the snow in winter in Canada😃 What a sad world we are living in, when a gentleman in his 90s isn't safe from robbery even out in the sparsely populated frozen forests !!!! Great to see you helping your grdad out with more firewood and big THANKS to the company supporting your video and supplying the SECURITY SYSTEM for His wood shed 👍👍👍👍
Wow &wow & wow! Ur detailed description could almost transport someone there. Thank you.
“Thank you, Simply Safe” they have covered everything. Great Video!!!!!
sounds like a good system for a storage unit too. Only seems to be missing a picture or video of the thieves so you know who to look for
Grandpa is a lucky man to have a grandson as thoughtful as you are.
If this is as remote a location as you said in the video then surely the poachers and those who stole a quantity of wood must be neighbours or hunters with a cabin nearby.
You wouldn't steal and transport it any distance that wouldn't make any sense.
Good luck to your Granddad who seems to be an interesting person
Thank you for helping him out in many ways
Stay safe
Thank goodness for finding a security system that works in remote areas! And, a big thanks to SimpliSafe for helping in designing and sponsoring the installation. I'm sure your Grandfather feels much safer.....as you and the entire family have peace of mind he is protected. Having something stolen is an awful experience, but to have something taken that is life-giving and secured from hard work makes us just doggone ANGRY! Thanks for sharing the video and info.
Even available in Australia, maybe in the future they can have a discount code to track referrals from this channel, survey how much business he has generated

On to the next one after this one.

It would seem ( I hope ) that there are approximately 91,500 of us ( number of viewers at the time I made this comment ) who would really like to see these thieves caught now and brought to some kind of justice.
Thanks for this great story.
Absolutely, I want them to squirm (at the very least...) I want to hear how selfish and lazy they've been, and in addition to apologizing to this elder, they're gonna learn from him the art of harvesting deadwood for winter use whilst they replace every stick and twig - humbly, with plenty of "sirs..."
601,000 right now. I know i'd love to see these guys drug through the mud, either literally or figuratively. Living on a homestead, I know the work it takes to survive. I'm resting on a sunday after church while my daughter naps which is one of my few breaks I get during the week. I can't imagine trying to do it at 90 in as remote of a location as him. At least I still have a home depot and a walmart within reasonable distance.

So glad you could build up Grandpa's wood. Blessings you two are!!
I still go out every year and cut firewood because I enjoy it plus it heats my home . My kids tell me I'm to old but they just don't understand . A thief in my book would be entitled to a block of wood alongside the head . The bonus is my grandkids love to come in the bush and watch and help . Many times they've seen a stack of cut wood and asked why not just take that and I tell them because someone worked hard putting it there for themselves and if I take it then they have got to work twice which would not be fair .
Oh my goodness - A TRULY MORAL PERSON!! Praise the Lord for ur integrity!
@@flikajones6109 Moral I'm not , I just know the difference between right and wrong .
@@gfroese4799 Well i say don't apologize for being a good person. I promise not to tell anybody, but i think moral means knowing the difference between right and wrong.
It's very sad how people can be now a days. I'm sorry that happened to your grandfather. Some people are just lazy. They would rather steal from honest people then go out and work for it themselves. That's a great thing you have done for your grandfather. God bless you and your family. Until next time stay strong and take care my friend.
It makes me sad to see people steal from someone regardless of the circumstance, but especially from someone trying to provide for themselves and/or their family, and especially from someone who is elderly who it takes much more effort to do so. But, it makes my heart extremely glad to see others (in this case, a son and a grandson) step up and fill a need where they see fit. Good on ya for helping out family and passing on this example to others who may see it and want to do the same.
Thieves and degenerates are everywhere. They deserve NO MERCY!! My father died 2 weeks ago at 90yrs. old. I defended him fiercely to the end, so I understand the anger.
You’re one hell of a grandson. Family matters
The only thing missing from this video was the system working and the crooks being apprehended! I was disappointed.
I was disappointed too. and for the same reason. I am not about to buy or recommend the system unless I see clear and dramatic results. especially since it was supposedly an interesting video instead of a long commercial.
I hope they will be caught also, But this is not a made for television drama.
@@kenloose3560 WOW! sad.
No but it would be nice to know that what they’re selling works!
Thanks for letting us know. I'm too deep in now to stop watching.
Bro! You’re like Canadian McGuyver meets Bob Villa meets John the Apostle. Man, I absolutely adore these videos. Your dad is such a great builder and has taught you some Canadian survival skills that are downright impressive. I love how humble these videos are and love seeing what equipment you use, how you cut logs. Etc I even love the OLD Massey Furgeson TRACTOR. Out here doing gods work! Bless you all and thank you for your videography skills as well! It’s wonderful to see the Canadian outdoors through a lense less traveled. ❤️ bless you all. And love! From the United States
I also see you like subtle harmonic folk music. I do too! I’d love to recommend you a song I found recently while living in Vail, Colorado. It’s called “By and By” by the band Caamp. You. Will. Love it! Especially if you haven’t heard it yet!
How awesome that you & your father are taking care of your grandfather like this! God bless you both for that! I just stumbled upon this video and I hope you found the thieves or they never came back after your security system was installed. I am not sure where this is, Canada maybe, but it is beautiful country! Thanks for the video! I enjoyed watching and kudos to you and your dad!
So sorry for grand dad and the family. Literally tons of work. Hope you catch them one day. So nice of a company to help, I'm going to check them out.
That is the whole point of the company helping. It's called advertisement.
Your grandfather is an amazing man. These people that stole the firewood , it will come back to them double fold. I am a firm believer in justice always prevails sooner or later.

Your Grandfather is very lucky to have you and your dad. Sad to say, but most people, "don't have the time" excuse after excuse to help family out the way they used to. You rock!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story of being present in your Grandfather's life.
It was upsetting that some dirty thief took his wood stock but uplifting to watch you solve the situation and witness such love.
The imagery of the snowy woods was breathtaking and your skill and hard work with the chainsaw harvesting felled trees satisfying.
I have the utmost respect for how you honor your Grandfather and your family.
Looking forward to more videos. 😊
I had problems with trespassers on my property several years ago.
I had signs made that said, " PRIVATE PROPERTY KEEP OUT,
VIOLATORS MAY BE MET WITH DEADLY FORCE "
Apparently the last part of my signs did the trick. No one has been on my property for the past 3 years.
go draw a line through "may" and write "will" above and it'll reaaaaaaaaaally keep them out
@@kikoredog I thought about that, but think there may be some legal issues with local law enforcement if I did. Lol
I know a guy that hung signs up that read, African lion trainer. He did train leopards but he also had a weather proof speaker horn that played lion roaring sounds whenever he wasn't home. He lived on 250 acres of land and had ATV's constantly crossing until that. Then no signs of nothing at all for 8 years. So it must have had the affect planned., lol:-)
You guys think it's okay, to murder people, for crossing an invisible line?
@@stephenerdley397 there is no invisible line, it's called a fence with barbed wire and multiple signs. If someone comes into my property with intent to do harm you damn better believe I'll shoot them to protect my family
I hate thieves! I recently got a amazon package stolen 10 minutes after being delivered. A few years back, someone broke into my parents house and stole my grandmothers jewelry. Me and my parents lived a few weeks on guard after that. I'm glad your grandfather can have a piece of mind with the security setup. Regardless of the thief's reason, there are better solutions then to steal. I believe most people are kind and are willing to share or work for their share... but to those who steal and think it's nothing... I have less kinder words for them.
What a gracious gesture to Dave the older Hunter.God bless you
It was very kind of you guys to Band together to sort out a problem.

Yep, in the uper part of the county ware i live their is a cabin culture, and as I have heard its methy locals to that area that will prey on nyeve prepers and wealthy seasonal ouners, that amass vast wealth in cabin & property improvements without adequate seasonal protection.

I've been working up firewood for myself and others for the last 43 years I can only imagine how your Grandfather felt when his was stolen. Items that you worked hard to make or produce yourself is the worse that can be stolen. I hope you can eventually catch the thieves and the judge makes them replace every stick.
Thanks Clint. Yeah it's hard enough to gather firewood as it is. And that's if you're young and healthy!
@@TheOutsiderCabin Very True. I'm 65 and diabetic and it's becoming harder each year. I have not seen you use a Pickaroon / Hookeroon. I have two of them and they are very helpful when moving wood. I can carry two big rounds of firewood with them, but when without them I can only carry one. They would be very beneficial when moving logs for your cabin also. Thanks for the reply. Be safe.
Sad to see stealing still happing at this time of age. No one understands how it feels like to have things taken from you on the land better than the first Nations. Ive always wondered if people really think about that. Wish you luck to catch the people responsible for this. Great show
LOL. Gotta throw in a libshit political perspective. Go flush your head in the toilet.
happy Moose,Good to hear from First Nations, you would understand the connection with the land well!
@Buezhi Kampa not sure what your saying but First Nations are the originally people of north America and have always been here. However i do understand that to appreciate history you need to understand history, right Kampa.
The one thing amongst many my mother hated the most was thieves! She considers them rogues and always called one out quickly when she saw them, I'm 57 and raised my kids on my mom's principles, so far none of my kids raised any alarms thank god I am do sorry this happened to your family especially to your pop's who's worked so hard ! Dedicated to warming his home and providing firewood for basically cooking cleaning and washing not to mention bathing! So thank god for supplying pop's with no much needed peace of mind, god bless
This was a very informative video and your grandfather is so lucky to have such a loving family. I’m glad you were there to help out.
your Grandad is a very lucky man to have you guys by his side. Thanks for sharing.
I don't understand why ppl steal from others...don't they have a heart and conscience?! Don't they think about how that person would feel?! Thanks for sharing 😊 Be careful if they steal they might hurt you as well.
Why...laziness and greed
that's a really cool thing you did for your grandfather :)
Thank God this man has children who actually love and care for him and grandchildren as well.
Hello from Oklahoma! This video hits home for me. Some People in this state have this attitude, well you aren't using , it I needed it. Thats supposed to make it ok. Its not right. They help themselves then when caught they act ignorant," Oh this is yours?" Or the aforementioned excuse. Good video. God Bless!
Thank you and God bless.
One thing I hate is people who take things that don’t belong to them....If they needed wood that bad ,if they asked your grandpa probably gave them some....No place for thrives in this world......
Exactly this. Some group of kids nicked my wallet a couple days ago. If you need money that bad work for it, jeez.
That's awesome what you did for your grandfather ,I'm sorry to hear that you're father passed away I just started watching your videos there good to watch God bless you and your family
Really sorry to hear of your grandfather’s theft problem - the depravity of some people is infuriating. Best wishes to yo all and I hope you catch the thieves.❤️👌👏👏👏👏👏
Did you also install trail cameras? I’d guess when they hear the alarm they’d have enough time to run before authorities come by. Maybe with cameras, their faces could be recognized?
Also you could learn which way they come from
As a matter of fact, I did install some cameras, and other deterrents... I purposefully didn't show everything in the video though. Never know who's watching. :)
@@TheOutsiderCabin glad you thought that. That was my concern as I watched the video. 😉
@@TheOutsiderCabin Core out a few of the logs, fill them with black powder, tamp down and plug. Problem solved:)
@@TheOutsiderCabin You should disable the voice on the master console box and wrap tape around it to cover that light. Any warning the thieves see or hear and they're gone. If you live in a State that allows firearms too. Camping out the odd weekend, nothin says you can't have defence against...... bears.....just sayin'.
Thanks for the video, most of us are honest people, but wherever we are there are dishonest people who only care for themselves and break laws as if the law doesn't pertain to them. I feel bad for your grandfather, but at the same time I am proud of you and your dad, and your whole family because you are really good people. I hope that all goes well for your grandfather and the theft and poaching on your property never happens again.
Happy to hear update on most recent video about your Granddad. Great news that your Dad, your Granddad and you were able to thwart any further attempts on more theft.
I really appreciate this video and will say a prayer for your grandfather!! You have a big heart and inspire me whilst going through some trying times!
We had a simplysafe system on our old work shop and it paid for it self when someone broke in and prevented them from taking anything before the police arrived. Sadly the thief was able to run before the police could catch him bit It saved all of my tools.
does take pictures?
@@celiayounger9202 the system we had was just the door contacts and motion sensor in the shop space.
Glad to hear a happy ending to a potentially sad story. I'm also really happy to hear that the Simplisafe system was on the ball. Especially since it's now guarding my grandfather's shed as well. :)
In Maine thieves loaded truck full of items. Neighbors got license plate number on their way out. Cops got items returned but in court thieves won because police had entered home without a warrant. So thieves got off.
I heard a story years ago about a lad who's firewood was disappearing. He couldn't catch the thief so he hollowed out a stick of firewood, put a stick of dynamite in it and put it back in his wood pile. Later, he heard about the blast that blew up some guy's stove. Hahaha...There's nothing worse than a thief!
OMG! LOL! Very effective, but could be a might too far. Could be some very serious consequences if somebody dies.
@@flikajones6109 What do you think would happen to an elderly man, alone in the backwoods, if he runs out of firewood in winter?
Seems to me a perfect way for the punishment to fit the crime.
What if they were selling the wood they took...Not good. Likey just a storey.
@@jedidiah5131 Hi Jedidiah, Sadly the story is all to true. The parts of it that were left out make it more infuriating!
Thanks for the reply...hard to believe someone would do something so dangerous as attempt to kill someone over some firewood but as you said lots of the story was left out...
I have Simply Safe and love it. Had it for the past 7 years. I’m 68 and set that up without a problem. When I do have a problem, the customer service ha always been patient and kind. Good stuff. Sorry about your Grandpa! People really make me sick......I hate thieves......
Watching your Video, and what happened to your Grandfather. It bothered me so much; that it can happen to a person ninety years old! Thank GOD that your Family watches out for everyone!! God Bless your entire family!
Tell SimpliSafe I just watched a 20 minute commercial because I was moved by their compassion. They made a great business decision.
Let us know if you catch the thieves please!
Seriously? they are sponsoring all kinds of outdoor youtubers, it's no charity it's pandering with heart wrenching stories that I hope this guy did not do. That's theft of our compassion and sympathy for commercial gain. 😡
@@super66craig lol someone's been listening to socialist propaganda. Remember capitalism has given us the greatest increase in standard of living in human history. Socialism has failed over 100 times and has been responsible for totalitarianism, over 100 million deaths, famine, and the greatest crimes against humanity since the Nazis. Oh wait...Nazi stands for National SOCIALIST German Workers Party.
Oh and before you try and say Sweden(etc) is socialist, it's not. I know, I've been there.
Just move to Venezuela. Just remember to bring your own food because they've already eaten all the zoo animals.
@@gandalfstormcloud7514 Where in the hell did Socialism come from? Your nuts!
Being deceptive with your channel format to peddle gear thats not applicable to the purpose at hand is not capital gain, its just lying to make money. Without truth in advertising you destroy consumer faith and the net gain economically for this is negative economics. Get with the program and see how honest reviews like Amazon create consumer confidence and a net gain for the economy. An old man story and a useless system for a remote woodshed is pure bullshit.
@@super66craig My mistake, I sincerely apologize! And I agree, this was kinda clickbait. Let's assume the guy was trying to say thank you for a free security system.
@@super66craig oh and no offense but you still sound like a commie 😜😜😜
Where I was raised, in Central Arkansas, thieves were able to be stopped when they saw my dad, mom & I meeting them with each one of us carrying a fully loaded gun!! My mom carried her sawed off double barrel, my dad carrying his Judge & me with my Winchester 12 gauge Pump-Action shot gun! Do y'all reckon they showed up on our property anymore? NOPE!! I guess word got around pretty quickly!!🤠
Thanks for helping the man. About the thieves, hollow out a small hole in a few logs and filll with gun powder. Leave towards the front of the shed for easy access. Be sure to mark so that you won't use them. Then wait for a load explosion in the night.
Great use of your B-Role on your videography. Nice story. I have that problem on my place as well.
Truly sorry to hear that your Grandfather was a victim of firewood thieves. I have been a victim of that as well ...though I caught my thieves. I thank you for sharing this video with us ..that and the simple security system. I have sent a request for more info on that.
Hope you catch those responsible.
I appreciate the care you both display in all things you undertake.
We've been wood burners our entire lives....interior woodstoves and outdoor wood boiler for whole house. Burn between 12 and 16 cord a year. Since 2 sons have moved on I've been sole provider of keeping woodsheds full. I appreciate your grandpa and both of you! For those who don't get it....oh well. But for those of us that do, well, yea. Thank you for these videos!
What a heart-warming video of looking after family. You organised and installed the alarm system and even better went and got a load more wood to re-stock what had been stolen. Wonderful father and son team. Best wishes to both of you...and your grandfather too of course!
IF ONLY THE WORLD COULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE MORE LIKE YOU IN IT! YOUR FOLKS SURE RAISED A WINNER!!! I'M SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS!!!
Love this idea. Thank you for referring a honest, and fair business. Happy to know I can use something to keep my home stead safe. The other thing I would suggest is to to your local Sheriffs or local OR and let them enter you in the system so when they do get called they will know where you are at and once on the computer system of 911 precious time will not be lost trying to get emergency services to you. Know your Neighbors. You can never have enough liked minded people to keep an eye out. Great way to make friend's.
I've gotta say I just stumbled on your channel because of my interest of living in rural MN. It was like getting a 2fer, your story and simpli safe unwrapping... I've been interested in them for a couple of years but thankfully never had major problems as of yet... Best wish's for you and yours and I'll go watch the other video's to "catch-up".
