I can't believe this happened - Zip line disaster.

- I want to first reiterate that this zip line malfunction is completely our error/user error, and no fault at all of the SkyMule. Thankfully the SkyMule itself wasn't damaged in this either, which I forgot to mention. I also should mention that Steve did feel bad about this happening, knowing how much time and effort I put into making all of this lumber, which is why he is now setting things up better. Do I wish he listened to me and that my lumber didn't get wrecked? yeah. But I'm looking forward to the new system he installs - like any new invention, there is always a trial and error period, right? 😊.
I try to be as honest as possible here, and some part of me thought to just let this whole incident slide by and not share it publicly, but this is all part of being human and I value sharing both the good and bad. So much of life is perspective - 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. I was very upset about this happening, and did have a melt down, but it was very short-lived and after I decided that I wouldn't kill Steve (😜), I decided to thank him for helping me 😊. No one got hurt, and that is truly what is most important.
Thank you for joining me, and I will see you in the next video!
Michelle 💕
Pioneers have always had to endure and overcome obstacles/hardships/setbacks ..this is why we admire y'alls sheer determination and commitment to forge ahead despite the pain and agony .. stay the course , stay MICHYGOSS STRONG !
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That intro scared me... the somber music with the dogs running around had me thinking something horrible happened to one of them. Thankfully they're all okay! Whew!
The music at 7:30 reminds me of the old days living in Kentucky, sitting on the porch of my back woods shack, a little home brew, my old guitar and my bloodhound, Red, barking at some critters. Didn't have no GPS in those days, so Red was on his own to get back to the domicile. Such a simple life.
No matter what happened- Glad you both are safe. Things happen and we move on. Love hearing about the dogs and running about. If Clyde only understood how many mountains and thick brush you go through for him. You live in such a gorgeous landscape- be grateful and keep smiling. Thanks for sharing real life. You rock.
I know. If only he knew how much I think and worry about him. And how time I’ve spent finding him! Love him to bits, and will do it for him till the day he dies ❤
@@michygoss7148 My Bad Thought you were talking about Steve! Clyde and Michelle wouldn't have the beautiful life without Steve! Great work Man! Michelle will get their be Patient.
their or there I always mix these up! one day!
I'm sure it was extremely frustrating to lose that lumber, but thank goodness neither of you were hurt!
You both knew you were overloading the zip line. I hope this served as a reminder that safety is paramount. Take your time and make the loads smaller and more manageable.
Good luck, Michele, and be careful.
We learn even more from failures than from successes. Glad no-one got hurt; that was a scary moment! Thanks for your honesty and for being such a wonderful person, Michelle.
Oh Michele, you wear your beauty well! (just commenting) Sad to hear of the Sky Mule Zip line system you were using. Glad no-one was hurt! I know its a set back, but I'm sure your improvements will be beneficial for your continued efforts. When Clyde was 'baying', it got my dog going and it was a much needed laughter watching him respond to Clyde. You are doing so well and its so impressive!
I really like Clyde. He reminds me so much of my hound Pete that I had as a boy. I spent many nights searching for him after he would go ranging off to parts unknown.
So do I . Gf had a walker for many yrs.
It’s almost a full time job looking for him! But I will lovingly do it again and again cuz it makes him so happy to be able to follow his passion!
@@michygoss7148 Have spent many hrs looking for dogs( hounds ) in city parks and in the wilderness. They love to follow scents.
This was Steve's revenge for you calling him 'dull' (and yourself 'sharp'), in the previous episode .. 😃
Joking aside: Nobody lost their life or got physical hurt, and that's what matters at the end of the day.
I bet next contraption will be so much better!
Oh wow, what a stressful day. Sorry this happened to you all, but I’m thankful you both are safe.
I love those moments when you have to just stop and smell a piece of wood you are working with.
Michelle, perhaps it's lucky you didn't run with my idea of going down the zip line haha
Great video Michelle. Your introduction on Hannah brought me back to sad resent memories. My daughter had to put her oldest dog down on Friday, very sad day she was a part of our lives for 10 years. My son quoted Queen Elizabeth ii " Grief is the price we pay for love". So true but the loving memories definitely outway the sad, it's hard. We will miss you, Harley.
A very true quote!
RIP lovely milled planks. On to the next... Thanks for sharing the frustrations and the victories.
Thank goodness THE BIG FAIL happened with replaceable wood and not your precious now-installed door. I loved it when you tracked down big Clyde, but then just watched him at first as he diligently pursued his chosen quarry. Our hounds are such one-tracked mined doofs, but they do love it when we join them to witness how good their big sniffy noses work.
Lol. Yep I always watch him to see what he’s up to, and to see how long it takes him to smell me in his presence. I yelled to him that day cuz I thought he was gonna get away farther uphill and make me hike up more. 😊
He is so dang cute and worth every minute of my searches.
Breakdowns or malfunctions are generally caused by improper procedures or maintenance. Sometimes it’s just a mechanical or structural failure of parts which we have little or no control. Hopefully all will be good in a few days. Gotta love those old dogs. Nothing EVER more loyal and trusting you as a dog that is loved and treated right. Sorry for your troubles Missy. 👍👍 You are such a gorgeous, awesome and accomplished young lady. I hope the best for you and yours. Have a zGREAT THANKSGIVING!
I am glad you are both safe and OK I hope Steve comes up with a system that makes it a little less stressful sending goods down the the build site.
Us men do tend to think we know best but you are a saintly lady for not braining him with a piece of the broken timber 🤣🤣 looking forward to seeing next week's episode.
Take care and stay safe 🙏 love from John in the UK xx
Sorry to hear about your setbacks, Lovely. There’s a story to tell on every worthwhile project. Yours is no exception. That’ll make it even more special after it’s completed. ❤
Thanks for the videos, the hard parts and trouble you went through. You and Steve have such active projects and I can only imagine the brain power/problem solving you both go through.
You all juggling so much.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Thank you for showcasing fortitude and perseverance.... in a world filled with instant gratification, you are disconnecting 💛
About the time that reel on the sky mule started humming I would have been throwing out an endless stream of bad words. Hope it rebuilds quickly
Bummer but I'm sure Steve will fix it and will be back up and running. Just glad nobody was hurt. Hey, the slide guitar sounds like Justin Johnson. Amazing guitarest for slide and blues on RUclips
Adapt, overcome and learn from it!
Famous last words, "I told you so"? Go easy on Steve. At least no one was hurt, and an opportunity for a new and improved zip line. Would love to hear someone mix slide guitar with hound song, and maybe a banjo and a bowed saw blade.
Knowing that Steve is an engineer I'm sure he will come up with a much safer solution for the repair on the sky mule. 🙏💪
Some lessons must be learned the hard way. They stick with us longer that way. You are so good at sawmilling. This will give you another chance to get even better at it. As you say now you will have an improved system that will be safer. Thankfully you have Steve to build it. How about you build something special out of the damaged wood to commemorate you and Steve overcoming a rough spot in your lives. Look how much joy a simple stick can bring when one is free and out in nature. Love you videos.
You don't grow without mistakes and challenges. While sometimes painful, setbacks give us the opportunity to achieve better. Here's to a better skymule and lessons learned. Cheers!
💚 No nap required. I'm sure there will be next week as you share the mill with us. Enjoy Your Journey. I AM...
So glad you come away with no injuries.....That could have been very serious....pleas be careful.
It was good to see Hannah in happier times. You’ll always have those memories to draw on. The rest of your fur babies looked all worn out Mom. We can see why with Clyde!
Sorry about your troubles with the zip line and the wood. You both worked so hard on everything. Glad you both safe. Be careful lady!
So glad to get a video from you ❤😊good to see you and the puppies. I’m like Steve , fix things on your mind before going to sleep, that way you’re mind will let you sleep lol love you 😊❤👍🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦☕️
It reminded me of a runaway anchor chain on a Navy ship. Careful Michelle, great videos. Orange County California
Whew! I just binge-watched your last 19 videos. My summer was whacked, thanks to a flood that destroyed my house, truck, and pretty much everything else, and I got a little behind.
I'm so sorry to hear about Hannah, but I'm glad that she's no longer suffering. It was so cool of you to give her and the boys, including Southgate, some grieving time together.
The pain and heartache that you guys go through to show those lucky doggos what pure love is, is quite admirable. I cannot commend you both enough for doing that.
Your cabin build looks absolutely fantastic, but I still love your adorable little shed, with that wonderful siding and that kickass door, just a little more. Great job, MG! 😆
Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope you have recovered what you could and have settled back into a new routine.
@@michygoss7148 Aww, you're so sweet. All's well, and I moved to my farm, so I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. 😊
Love your videos Michelle, never a dull moment, not problems just plenty of challenges, keep up the good work
No one died or got injured, so that’s a win… And, you now have a load of timber boards going spare down at the project…. Raised deck between the overnight shed and the new cabin…..? Some things are clear about you: (a) you’re NEVER beaten and (b) you do love a project!
Well just be thankful that no one was hurt and this gives Steve the chance to upgrade the sky mule.... the boards can be replaced. And food for thought, lesson learned never second guess your gut instinct when you know something needs to be done especially when it could be dangerous. I'm just glad you both are all right. We're all allowed one mistake, just step up next time and do what you know needs to be done.
I've learned that many times it's better and safer to move smaller loads at a time. You are the expert in using the Sky Mule so you should have been the one coordinating the movement of the boards. Believe me, I can understand your frustration with waste of your time and hard work and to have the boards destroyed at the bottom of the mountain. Maybe Steve work out a braking or slow feed system for the Sky Mule while he's fixing it. Glad that you were not injured during the incident. Love your videos.
I always love the background music you select. It always seems to fit with what you're feeling.
Amazing ... without failures we can not enjoy triumphs!!!!! Stay safe you give me high blood presure and heart flutters .Xoxoxo
Thankful that you and Steve are safe and Clyde was located. Wishing you and your family a blessed autumn season, gentle weather and restful evenings in front of your fireplace. Peace princess.
Here I am with my second comment you t w o are amazing people always remember why you two got together and the love that you have for life cuz life gets in the way and you forget why you love each other Steve is a good man and you're lucky to have him as a partner in life as well as all your dogs thank you for being Who You Are
Pretty scary watching that sky Mule with a load of lumber flying down the mountain side. I have not seen this video yet. It was very interesting tonight to see it. When Clyde was barking when he was lost my dog woke up from her sleep and ran to the TV to check it out. Keep up the good work.
I,m glad you guys didn,t get hurt.Long after your gone somebody,s going to find that cabin and scratch there heads and wonder how did somebody do this?You are truly pioneer,s.Be safe.
That's cool how your cat goes on walks with you & your dogs. My niece left her cat at our house 5yrs ago (still don't know why) He prefers to stay outside to keep an eye on his domain. Any time I'm doing projects outside, he's right there with me just like a dog would do. Kinda funny he knows where & when to stay out of the way.
LOL... Steve is having a bit of an issue with the relationship between mass, gravity and the tipping point.... on to plan B. Another great video!!
I hate when stuff goes wrong but you learned something to minimize bad stuff happening again. I’m way prepared because I wasn’t in the past.
Shame the wood got damaged but I guess it's a live n learn situation! (Eg. don't risk getting hurt/take unnecessary chances! Better safe than sorry!)
Like you say you can improve the system now and you'll know for the future I'm sure you can still use the wood maybe glue up/clamp the bits that are just split and that should make them useable for something whether outside or inside the cabin once it's finished!?(save wasting good timber).. Glad you're both safe mainly!
Have a great week! All the best from London 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
Michelle and Steve the most important thing is that you are both safe and unharmed.
Life has its ups and downs and not everything will always work out.
The important thing is to rise above the obstacle every time, reassess the situation and learn from it.
Anger will pass, then reconciliation will come.
I have my fingers crossed for you and I believe that this experience will strengthen you both.
Greetings from Peter from the Czech Republic.
Well I have to say, I wasn't home sick until I saw the pups running about, in grande prairie and My pups ai in edmonton, only 2+ weeks and another week to go before I get to see them spinning on a dime when I walk in the door. Dang sad about the mule and lumber, however disaster is the mother of invention and upgrades. Glad no one is hurt,aside from feelings. Sure hope you've received a vase of your fav flowers. "Usually helps my honey with her feelings" along with a double stack of salted caramel chocolate bars.
Could be a blessing in disguise. Maybe Steve will come up with a really slick new iteration of the sky mule system (The pressure is on Steve)
Everything happens for a reason. Blessing in disguise for sure - things are now safer 👍
Hello Both! A similar set up for the skymule, but with a gear and chain to regulate speed, dependant on load, would be where my layman's mind would venture here. As an added bonus, a motor could be added to retract the mule up to the start point. Doing great, and yes, that damaged wood can be part salvaged for a privy or elsewhere, so glass half full. Onwards and upwards, never deterred. 👌🙂
Having broken my leg in February, I can say that crutches are fun to play with but no fun at all to rely on.
Safety first , always. At least no injuries. He should a have listened to you . Take care you will recover.
You look pretty sharp 👌 with glasses on & don't be deterred by a mishap be determined to overcome it. You rule 😃
I have often wondered how people know what kind of wood they are using now I know they sniff it!! Good luck with your Zip-Line.
beautiful intro.... Your tribe of K-9's are beautiful..So sorry for the mishap with your "MULE" .. I know you guys are always super cautious... Glad you weren't hurt....
Love the choice of slide blues. That’s a Robert Johnson take off of Last Fair Deal Gone Down. Which is appropriate for your poor trolley.
Michelle, Thats one way to get a little help improving the SkyMule. Im glad your both safe!!!
Omg what an adventure that one was !
Thank god no one got hurt ! Lumber got smashed up at the bottom , that’s bad enough ! Hopefully you can repair your winch at the top ! That was not fun !
Good to see you are all OK. Keep up your resolve with the projects.
Bummer. Oh well, shit happens. Mountain Life. But hey, now you've leveled up and earned some of those precious skymule experience points !
And you have a solid 'runaway load' story to tell - no point in owning a skymule if you don't have one of those. Here's hoping it's the only one. Cheers!
I am a relatively new subscriber and have worried about the safety of both of you. You are both very capable and resourceful people but you are human. Be careful please!
One CAT! Two or B: In my work (emergency medicine) any day that doesn't involve injury or a trip to the ED is a good day. Stuff is replaced. New boards made and the experiences are learning opportunities. Well done!
Sorry about the mishap with the sky mule. Can certainly understand your frustration. Sounds like one of those turning lemons into lemonade moments. Steve will undoubtedly come up with an improved control mechanism for the sky mule and you now have some extra unexpected firewood. As long as no one got hurt, that's the important thing.
Least you have a nice warm doghouse if Steve was in Bad books :) Joking aside Least no one got hurt and yeah i'm sure the mule will benefit from some improvements . Loved seeing the dogs having a lotta fun on the trails
Hi Michelle! Your first mistake: 1, Don’t load that thing up so much. 2, Never let the thing free-wheel. What could possibly go wrong! 3rd, Do you have a Sister as beautiful as you, with your talents? I really need to get back to VCI and VCBC for all it’s beauty. I ❤️ the Canadian ferry system. Ross in Chicago.
My wife and I joke that our baseline level of success for any joint project is "No one got murdered". Everything beyond that is gravy. Sorry you were working at the baseline that time! ;-p
I can just hear all the expletives flying after the camera shut off!!
most important: no injuries - except for some emotional stress. glad both of you guys are save
Wow! I'm just glad neither of you got hurt while using the sky mule. Materials can be replaced but you can't. Hope Steve found a good solution to repair it. Hope all are safe and sound and see you in the next video. 🫂🍂🍁🪶🐕🐕🐕🐕
I'm glad nobody was hurt. Even though it was unfortunate, that aspect of the sky mule definitely needed a safety upgrade. And remember...continue the prOcess of being great, Michelle!
Yes glasses. No to breaking arm or leg for a cast
I love how much you guys love your dogs
I'm glad everybody is ok. Things happen, and we learn, move on and rebuild. On an unrelated note. I held out for the longest time from trying diesel as a saw lube, but I won't be going back. It works incredibly, and you only need a very tiny drip, unlike water or any other mixed fluids I've tried. The saw blades are as clean as they are coming out of the box brand new. And there is a light oil film on them which keeps them from rusting. I had thought the smell of the fuel would be bad, but you can't even smell it on the lumber. Admittedly, my clothes smelled a bit like diesel, but not bad at all really.
Hi Michelle. Sorry your lumber got damaged. But no one got hurt except your feelings. Was a great video. I am sure Steve will come up with a better system. Great seeing you and the hounds. Looking beautiful as always. Till next video. Be safe and happy. G
Hello from Oklahoma! Interesting Video! Too Bad the whole sky mule thing wasn't captured on video. It would be cool to know what ol' Clyde is trailin' out there. Surely there are tracks. Being an old hound man I'm curious. I've had walkers before they are good hounds. Thanks for all Y'all do! God Bless!
I know - I think I turned it off (although I still don’t really fully remember what happened) as I knew things were going to be horrendous. I was trying to run away and telling Steve to get out of the way. Last thing I remember was seeing him jumping to get away from it. Haha
Good thing is neither of you got hurt and all the dogs were fine too. With all due respect an onboard braking system you can use to slow or speed up the descent of the goods. I have a portable battery operated winch that is a god send at times. Glad you are both okay, it could have been much worse.
Gonna keep mentioning that a rail trolly at the cabin instead of that air mule would be a better long term solution. But also, sorry about all the lumber, Michy. :( It was fun watching you harvest it and Mr. Husband didn't want to listen to his wife. "Steve needs to figure out a way to fix the sky mule". lol, you must have been like, "You broke it, you bought it, dude" ;) :)
I'm looking forward to seeing what Steve comes up with on the return line for the SkyMule now, and very surprised he thought at the time that amount of weight could just be let go without controlling it's decent, on what was the current setup. Live and learn...and think he knows better now! I'm especially thankful for you now, on how the sliding glass door got down the mountain, and the controlled decent by you during that. I love your outlook on things once the smoke cleared in this situation, and wonder if Steve will give your thoughts/ideas, during things like this, more thought/consideration in the future? **fingers crossed** Stay safe y'all...and Clyde please wonder closer to Mom and Dad in the future!
Yes the smoke cleared and you are on your way 💖
No human or animal injuries that’s a good thing. Materialistic things can be replaced ( with patients) . When you said “ that’s to heavy” oh boy came into my thoughts , then it happened. Good to hear that everything will work out eventually. Take Care. 👍👍😊
A whole lot of honesty there as usual...and a lot of hard work!...all that solo timber framing!!!
Gawd luv ya-Can't wait for the next installment of ...more ...stuff!
Sorry to hear about your skylift issues. At least no one got hurt. That spinning hose reel could do some real damage. That would be a sad sight to see tears coming from those beautiful blue eyes.
Well there's almost always a silver lining to every bad situation. At least you know your limitations now, and there's always room for improvment, and necessity is the mother of invention.
Sorry to see this happened to you (Michy Bunyan) ! I can see that you are quite emotional and upset about it. Most importantly nobody was hurt! Keep up the good videos. Have a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Oops it has passed.
Sorry to hear about Hannah. You do some dangerous activities and I often wonder if your going to get hurt. I've taken calculated risks myself over the years but I still would rather live life on the edge over living the ultra safe life. Your videos are always interesting and amazing. Keep safe!
We’re no strangers to danger! 😂
Thank you so much for posting this. Things do go wrong and it's how we learn. The incident somehow makes the project and your outstanding tenacity all the more awesome and required viewing. So glad no one hurt.
You live and exciting, fulfilling and sometimes stressful life. I’m happy to hear that the sky mule wasn’t a loss. Under certain circumstances, the glasses are a big yes.
Well at least no one got hurt. See you next time and take care and God bless amen.
Erm whoops! Kinda feeling your pain. There was no way of stopping that safely once it started to run.
Work safe. Good luck going forward.
I am sorry for you that your zip line is damaged and I am relieved that there are no injuries. Stay safe Michelle. Take care of yourself ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💋
"Well, that didn't go quite as planned!" Physics, gravity, mass, momentum, strops, ropes and knots... - You've got some kindling! 😁
I'm glad you're all safe and Clyde is home after drifting off AGAIN! - I wonder what smells he finds out there?! - Large cats and bears I guess? Press onwards another step. Fortunately you have lots of trees, so quantity of wood is plentiful! Love your work Michelle, you're one tough woman! ❤
Wow! Well done. Thank you for a really good job of putting together a video to tell the story. So glad nobody got hurt. When energy gets out of control, it can have tragic consequences. This retired engineer is looking forward to seeing what Steve comes up with to improve the Sky Mule. I have to say, the Sky Mule has had some pretty amazing moments - getting that door down there undamaged being one of them. That was nothing short of amazing.
Hello Michelle Glad to see you both are okay amd all not so much for the sky mule though. Maybe Steve can come up with a gear reduction on it and lower material down the mountain and maybe even bring materials back up it. As far as your dogs goes Poor ole Clyde seems to get lost very easily these days guess that's something you will just have to live with bless his soul He really loves you both an wouldhate to see him get lost or maybe even hurt himself. I pray that you can get everything done too as winter arrives soon. Far as the materials goes thank god for all the trees and someone like you who loves her sawmill can do the work in replacing what you have lost. looking out for your next video and hope you get it the way you want it. Looks Cozy place to stay in just don't sleep walk . LoL 😂 😂
Sorry to hear that some of that hard work went down the drain.. sometimes mistakes happen. Just happy nobody got hurt ! Hope you can get some more milled up without any more setbacks. You seem like a very patient gal, he's a lucky guy! Did I mention how lucky he is ;-) ?? Keep on movin' in a positive direction and we'll be here for the next video :-)
Personally, I forgive Steve for living on the edge!
I know he'll bring the SkyMule back better than it was before.
lol. Gotta love him.
Sorry to see you lost your Lumber in the sky mule accident Michelle that was too bad😲
I'm convinced that these mishaps don't scare you, get back to work with more strength
Well, everyone survived. Which counts as a bit of a miracle! I'm glad you didn't kill Steve, but maiming is still an option. Perhaps the Skymule improvements will redeem him...
LOVE YOU MICHELLE, PLEASE KEEP SAFE AND WELL, HAVE A REALLY GREAT 2023 .
Smooth seas never made a skillful mariner. Also, when we are passionate about a project, it's really easy to be deceived by a pace subject to time constraint and obstacle. Careful safety first mindset, sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need to gain traction and compound progress. Great honest video. It would be the worst to see you, Steve or any of the dogs get hurt. Keep up all this great work is such amazing environment!
Put an automotive disc brake on the spool.
Well said!
