You are keeping the pioneering life style alive and well. God Bless you Both. Love watching you (both) and your Wolf Pack. I get tired just watching. Wilber/ Blessings & Grace
As a new subscriber with only a 1/2 dozen videos seen so far I am totally in awe of the lifestyle you live and the place where you chose to do it. Steve is a fortunate man to have Michelle who has beauty, brains, dogged determination and such a hard worker. You complement each other well. Until I saw this video I wonder why Steve wasn't helping on raising the timber frame on the mountain cabin. Now I know. Fantastic skills displayed by you both along with common sense approach to things. Many things that required hard work reminded me of my now deceased Dad who could do anything through sheer determination. Great videos and hope to watch all of them ! 👍👍👍
“I was hoping to become deaf so I couldn’t hear you anymore” that had me in stitches 😂 you can’t beat it when working with someone that comes out with one of those brilliant one liners and you both end up having a good laugh , especially when the works hard going. Epic for morale. I think me and Steve would get on just swell 😂 thoroughly enjoyed Michelle 👍 take care , see you in the next one 👍😎❤️🇬🇧
@Michygoss yeah that was hilarious. He's pretty quick witted and so are you. I love when a couple has banter like that between them.Makes for a stronger and fun relationship I think.
@@dandaniels4558If only I could capture him more often. He is unbelievably quick witted - like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Such a funny guy, and yes - it makes for such a fun relationship. There’s never a dull moment nor a hurt feeling. We just laugh at everything no matter what. 💝
Y'all are doing some pretty cool stuff with your off grid property. As far as scout goes that's nature wanting to figure out how to survive anyway that he can. Thank you for sharing you and yours with us. May y'all have a good one Have fun take care
For your rusty metal cabinets for the cabin on the cliff you need to paint it with a rust converter. It's milky white when it goes on the turns black like a plastic finish.😊
Love,love, love Scout and his great heart! I think Steve is an awesome person! And you as well. Your love for pups is amazing. Because, as you know dogs are better than folk!
Yep, that rig looks like a barrel of laughs, for sure. I’m thinking a 12v capstan winch at the top, with braided rope falling into a barrel below it would haul a decent load of wood up.
Very interesting. Steve is a man of few words and takes no prisoners. I like his style. You are both very hard working. He silently deals with your strong personality. You guys are a perfect couple. Thanks for sharing.
When I originally saw your video I thought that Steve was indifferent and not interested however after watching most of your escapades, while you are a complete Unicorn …it is extremely clear how much this man loves you! You are both amazing!! And such fortunate pups❤ Thank you!!

Looking at Steve going up that stairway, it won`t be long till you need a GPS collar for him! Great to see Hannah looking so bright! We`re just moving into autumn down under as you guys are heading into spring! Take it easy Mish! xx
Words cannot describe your beauty Your looks are so precious and rare. You have such gorgeous hair And such a luminous smile It’s just not fair how beautiful you are;😍
That was quite the job !! Lots of nice fire wood & project wood for you. Steve you very well deserve a long soak in the hot tube & body massage. And you Michi you deserve a metal for keeping everything in check & order & making sure all is safe. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍😊
That's quite the contraption, and challenging installation; well done! Perhaps a winch (instead of the fishing line) at the top unused anchors to retrieve the barrel, or whatever carrier you end up using. The winch would also help haul up the birch logs. The hard part is done, just have to work out the kinks, good luck! I can't believe the stairway, expense and the work involved.
Agreed, maybe set up a solar panel to charge 12v battery and mount a car or atv winch at the top for retrieval. This is a system used in the logging industry to great effect.
If you could get the logs to the lake and possibly float them to a better location to load them, it would be all down hill to the water. Of course talking about it and doing it are to different things. Appreciate your hard work !
A portable chainsaw mill might be your solution. You can mill the smaller trunks where they fall. It's harder to use and more work than your big mill but you also don't have to hall the whole trunk out at once.
Now that was a task ! I’ve been around skyline logging and have set those lines , it has to be clear all the way ! You have to admit that was a very good job rigging all that on that steep hillside ! Plus all the tools you needed to make it happen ! The rock drill you have I’ve used before myself and they are a top notch tool and work very well ! I admire your drive to get this into a working system , very large task !
Hello from Finland! I´ve been watching these videos and I´ve enjoyed a lot from your adventures and builds! You are so creative, skilled and warm hearted, just what we Finns like so much. We have also same seasons, the nature seems familiar, although everything is so huge there :) I live near the arctic circle and we have also long winters and short non-snow season. Winter is dark and summer is so bright. Temps can be down to -30...-40C (back in 1986 it was -51C and it was cold!). I´m type 1 diabetic and know what you are talking about. Great that you both support each other and keep eye of your health. I wish all the best to both of you and your doggos/cat and I continue watching these great videos. Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Jaakko.
When that wood went flying I was laughing my ass off but good for you guys you got it up and running been watching your channel for a couple days now just found it three days ago excellent contact
You’re an inspirational hard worker! You’re making me want to buy a sawmill. Your eyes are so beautiful BtW. Fun fact: the Statue of Liberty has 354 steps inside. So, your property is about that high.
A 12-volt electric motor with a large enough pulley to hold what you use to pull the Sky Mule back up the mountain with might work. It would need to be able to be put in free wheel when the Sky Mule goes back down with the cargo. I do not know how far it is from one end to the other. Have good days!
I knew that "great wall" was somewhat significant, right from the get-go. There was just something about it, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. And then I saw you guys use it to anchor the zip line. Woohoo! What a brilliant project. As an author, I'm currently trying to decide whether to move away from the rat race, as I'm kind of sick of living in a big city like Melbourne, Australia - and I don't fair well with the lockdowns! May God bless both you and Steve with goodness. I just love what you guys do!
Great video. Maybe at some point you could have a winch on the upper end. Have it run parallel to the main line with small wheels for travel. Either hand crank or electric. Just a thought. At some point you’ll want to bring something back up the hill. I admire both of you for your tenacity. Love the dogs and mountain lion!
Looks like you have some nice logs for your sawmill, all you need is one of those skycranes to take them home. Kinda wish you'd wear some eye protection.
You guys are amazing. Really great keeping your sense of humor when so tired from all that work. And as another dog rescuer I love how the dogs are integral to your stories. Best wishes from Nor Cal
Great video! Why not rig up a cheap 18V drill with a pair of rubber wheels one each side of the line attached to the bracket that goes up n down then when it's at the bottom activate the 18v drill to power it back up to the top so it goes down with gravity and back up with power drill attached to one of the 2skateboard wheels either side of the line acting like a friction motor!?? (Obviously attached to the Metal Bracket that runs on the cable but make the drill attach with a removable bracket so it's not left out in all weathers. Just a thought as wouldn't require wiring any motors or electronics, just a bracket 2 wheels and s way to attach the drill) Steve's an engineer I'm sure he could rig something up along those lines? Best regards from London England 👍😎🏴
Hi Michelle !!! I have been watching yours & Steve's adventure & im blown away at the amount of work you both do & the solutions you have to accomplish them. AWSOME !!! I noticed Steve has a pretty hefty folding knife... As a collector what kind of knife it is ?? Can't wait for the next video Thank You Both & of course the Dogs !!!
As I'm getting older. I see the footage of the lake and the drone shots. So beautiful. I get a knot in my throat knowing I may never see God in all his glory like you and your husband have. Good and trying. I'm a veteran with PTSD and where you are in BC looks so tranquil and peaceful. God bless the both of you. Longer vids are not a bad thing.
I had an idea. Maybe it would help. I saw the yellow rope with the hose real. Put rings on the cable and tie the rope to the rings with loops gradual longer lenths. Do not want loops to drag on the ground. Then buy a gate latch of some sort, strong. Hang it from pully. Use a canvas hammock to hold materal. Put one end of hammock in gate latch. Put a bumper at the bottom of cable. When material reaches the bottom, pull the rope to release the material. Then pull the pully and hammock back up. Good luck.
While on this Earth none of us really know what Heaven looks like for sure, but I have a feeling after seeing some of the pictures of the lake in this video, especially the one in the beginning with the sun's rays over the mountain, that you all live pretty close to it! :o) Steve is a hoot, I laughed out loud each time I watched your exchange about him wearing the earmuffs, and his response, and was so glad to see more of him in this video! Hope his back is holding up, after cutting down all those trees! One of the Loveliest view points on your property, would be any place you are Michelle...with your enchanting eyes and your selflessness! :o) Clyde in the earmuffs was priceless, and so was Scout trying to figure out the stairs, and then your explenation of letting him do his thing. Thank you for sharing all this with us, Michelle and Steve!! :o)
That's a helluva a job, well done! Maybe some dynema line connected to a 12 volt winch can help retrieve the sky mule. That birch and the fir trees could maybe be chainsaw milled in place, Lol, don't forget the Advil Steve!!
Maybe build a basket or get a stretcher used in helicopter rescue, then get a smaller rope for a tag line, but run it through a block and tackle set up, that way you control the speed going down, and it'll be easy to pull it back up
Either electric or gas powered winch at the top will pull it back as well as any logs you wish to bring up the mountain to use on your mill. Could have the winch at the bottom of the granite wall rope or cable going up to a anchored pulley to connect to the device
Great Video. The SkyMule is such a great idea, hopefully after tweaking it will be just what you needed! Love your animals, I have to say I'm kinda partial to Scout, just love his perseverance. He is a great example of how being "special" can be in so many different forms and doing things can happen if you try!
Thanks for sharing Michi! Once you work out the kinks your sky mule will be a game changer. As always I love the shots of your "pack". In Reno, NV. I was photographer for an equestrain fox hunt club (actually non-kill coyote hunt). Once a week they would go out with only their retired senior hounds, who never lost the passion for the hunt even when they only could go slower their "drive to go". never waned. It was a thrill to photogragh those seasoned hounds as the excitement lit up their eyes when they were on a scent, and held just as much fire as the younger pack displayed! Your dogs are living the life!
Love hearing this from you! I always refer to one of your comments when the hounds take off and I worry to death. Clyde especially, because he’s the one who can never find his way home. -> they are doing what they love, and there has to be a part of me to just accept if something bad were to happen, that I know they were doing what they loved. ❤️💝
I'm also type 1 diabetic. It can get pretty scary sometimes. Waking up at 55 (like this morning) and being ecstatic that I didn't sleep through it for example. Take care and I love your videos! P.S. Keep lots of juice everywhere in easy to spot places. (Just in case:)
08/10/22 Using that wood would be awesome to use in building a 2nd shed, even if you couldn't mil them you could cut shorter logs making your walls by using them horizontal, making channels on each end to slide the logs on top of each other so there held together by the vertical channels built from 1x6 or something. Then you simply stack the logs on top of each other. Hope you can build something cool 👍
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN? Please help me understand where that incredible stairway goes to and from, and who built that eighth wonder of the world. 🌎🇨🇦🇺🇸 Great video.
Thank you! Steve and I built the 1800 vertical foot trail ourselves on the 20 acre piece of property we own, and it goes from the cabin to the top of the property (where the SkyMule starts).
Hahaha oh my goodness "plenty of fish" hahahaha...ya know, pof should have a link for casket sales hahaha, it could be a woman's one stop shopping site! 🍺😆 oh my my my Michy, you crack me up...for real, poor Steve, oh my goodness that was some batch of trees he had to drop, not to mention, that pitch is insane! Just standing on it looks like a challenge, my heart was weeping for ole' Scout there, some dogs just don't feel good about steps, and there were a lot of em' too! Sheesh, well, I think you guys have the worst of it out of the way thus far so, thats a positive, right? As far as that Birch is concerned, how about making a real beautiful bench for your deck on the new cabin on the cliff build? It can be something that you send down the zip line, when birch is dried out its strong but not as heavy as say a rock maple or oak, so..? Steve really deserves a nice cold beer and a steak for sure!
wow! amazing trail for clearing for cable tram!... stairs are amazing!... you 2 are troopers!
You and your husband did. Great job setting up the "Sky-Mule."
Great video!
Well done!

We have a little system all set up now!! It’s simple, but works well 👍
Awesome !! ..... no problems just watched Ur vid for first time enjoyed it so going to watch the others 😊
Having the great wall of china as a starting point is definitely a huge advantage. Good work !!!
Maybe build a basket or get a stretcher used in helicopter rescue, then get a smaller rope for a tag line, but run it through a block and tackle set up, that way you control the speed going down, and it'll be easy to pull it back up

Great Video. The SkyMule is such a great idea, hopefully after tweaking it will be just what you needed! Love your animals, I have to say I'm kinda partial to Scout, just love his perseverance. He is a great example of how being "special" can be in so many different forms and doing things can happen if you try!
Can’t wait to see guys go down on the zipline😉
Thanks for sharing Michi! Once you work out the kinks your sky mule will be a game changer. As always I love the shots of your "pack". In Reno, NV. I was photographer for an equestrain fox hunt club (actually non-kill coyote hunt). Once a week they would go out with only their retired senior hounds, who never lost the passion for the hunt even when they only could go slower their "drive to go". never waned. It was a thrill to photogragh those seasoned hounds as the excitement lit up their eyes when they were on a scent, and held just as much fire as the younger pack displayed! Your dogs are living the life!
Love hearing this from you! I always refer to one of your comments when the hounds take off and I worry to death. Clyde especially, because he’s the one who can never find his way home. -> they are doing what they love, and there has to be a part of me to just accept if something bad were to happen, that I know they were doing what they loved. ❤️💝
I'm also type 1 diabetic.
It can get pretty scary sometimes.
Waking up at 55 (like this morning) and being ecstatic that I didn't sleep through it for example.
Take care and I love your videos!
P.S.
Keep lots of juice everywhere in easy to spot places. (Just in case:)
Suggestion
Rent an electric winch to pull the logs up the hill.

Using that wood would be awesome to use in building a 2nd shed, even if you couldn't mil them you could cut shorter logs making your walls by using them horizontal, making channels on each end to slide the logs on top of each other so there held together by the vertical channels built from 1x6 or something. Then you simply stack the logs on top of each other. Hope you can build something cool 👍
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN?
Please help me understand where that incredible stairway goes to and from, and who built that eighth wonder of the world. 🌎🇨🇦🇺🇸
Great video.
Thank you! Steve and I built the 1800 vertical foot trail ourselves on the 20 acre piece of property we own, and it goes from the cabin to the top of the property (where the SkyMule starts).
10:36 good lauwd nelly 🤣🤣🤣
You should make a wood boat from boards from your sawmill for the lake
Great video and editing
Thanks for taking us along
Hahaha oh my goodness "plenty of fish" hahahaha...ya know, pof should have a link for casket sales hahaha, it could be a woman's one stop shopping site!
🍺😆 oh my my my Michy, you crack me up...for real, poor Steve, oh my goodness that was some batch of trees he had to drop, not to mention, that pitch is insane! Just standing on it looks like a challenge, my heart was weeping for ole' Scout there, some dogs just don't feel good about steps, and there were a lot of em' too! Sheesh, well, I think you guys have the worst of it out of the way thus far so, thats a positive, right?
As far as that Birch is concerned, how about making a real beautiful bench for your deck on the new cabin on the cliff build? It can be something that you send down the zip line, when birch is dried out its strong but not as heavy as say a rock maple or oak, so..?
Steve really deserves a nice cold beer and a steak for sure!
done great
