- I'm done with winter camping and all things frozen. I decided to make it summer around here by setting up the monster tent, filling the water tower and refinishing the picnic table in order to carve all the Patreon donor names in it. You folks are awesome!
Because I’ve gotten so many questions about the gear that I use on the channel, here are some of the most important pieces I use every day:
My Favorite Piece of Gear- Chainsaw Helmet amzn.to/3uuW5xB
Granberg Chainsaw Mill amzn.to/3cdRXvn
How I Keep the Mosquitoes Away! amzn.to/3frenvh
Big, Black Log-Peeling Knife - Becker BK9 amzn.to/3oZIeOH
The Trailer I Use Behind My 4 Wheeler- Yutrax amzn.to/3fvO8DK
Bug Net Rooms I Use amzn.to/3uwOK0l
Heaters in My Tent and the Deer Castle amzn.to/3frQ7Jh
Thank you all so much for supporting this crazy endeavor! Without you folks donating to Surviving Ringworm, I wouldn't be able to even consider staying out here in the wilderness a second year making videos. You seriously blow my mind!

lol, i got all excited when i saw my name and started taking a screenshot to share on facebook. Then I continued watching again and saw that it got carved twice. Awesome!
So YOU are the one that got a two-fer. What a deal, eh? Guess it's bound to happen when the "artist" has his head in the clouds.
Thanks for supporting The Worm!
😂 👍

Gregory....now you have to double your $$$ contributions ;)
There may be a seep or spring somewhere upstream. Look for the source in rock outcroppings and you may find that it runs year round and can be tapped at the source. The area may be very green this time of year and the drone could help spot it. That's a lot of water for just drainage.
Hahaha, "all clothes are painting clothes". I can't help but live by those words, because you never know when you are going to paint.
IDEA: This is my idea for my water tank to keep it from freezing up in the winter.
I plan to put mine on the backside of my cabin, up against the cabin. Then enclose it, and insulate the walls. Then cut a 1'x2' hole through the wall, and attach a vent cover. All you have to do then, is keep the wood stove in the cabin going. The heat from the wood stove will travel through the vent enough to keep the water tank from freezing.
Plus, with the tank being beside the cabin, it would be easy to do a rain catchment system off the roof of the cabin in the water tank. That'd kill two birds with one stone.
Class Act Mr. Worm!! Thank you for the carving. Nice to know my name is not only carved in a table top at a Sushi joint in Laughlin Nevada, but also in Ringworm Michigan... It's all about the legacy you leave brother.
There is no higher station a man can attain than having his name carved at BOTH those places. Kudos to you!
Love your channel! No more watching "Outdoors with the Morgans" ;) You are hilarious with your sharp dry humor.....keep up the forest humor. :)
Fantastic! I’m here to make sure you spend many years out there doing fun things.
I'll do my best to not let ya down!
Yeah, this was great. So enjoyable to watch, minus Gregory getting two signings... :)
Really happy to see some protection for the woodland masterpieces. That table is worth 1800.00 USD, by the way.
Yeah. I'm thinking that Greg might have slipped something into my oatmeal. I started to get dizzy, then realized I'd carved him twice.
I'll probably have to take him to court.
$1800??? What's that about? Do they pick up?
@@survivingringworm2202 It's all good, my channel needs a boost, so I'm going to make a picnic table.
@25:52 That's me... Oh dear, I was way more happy with that than I would have thought. I am up there for just a buck a month!!!
Thanks, man! I know it means nothing, but it really means something.
Something just popped into my head. Get some old (but not ratty) carpet pad and put it under your tent's ground cloth. Trust me, you'll never go back.
You could do a copper serpentine around a wood furnace for the hotbaths, and keep it recirculating water in the tank for it not to freeze.
Love that you carved our names in your table. It's a little like being there with you. lol The tables look nice. Yay! Summer! It's chilly here in western WA today...doesn't feel anything like summer. It will be soon though. Hope you can stay out on Ringworm for as long as you are enjoying it there.
Glad you liked it!
Man, it is nice to have days in the 60's and even creeping into the 70's. It's like I can just start to let my shoulders down from my ears.
Love that table idea. Excited to find out what your next project is. See you next week, take care
The table looks amazing. Congrats to the engraved ones who've kicked some cash your way. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I'm actually surprised what a difference a little varnish made.
Hi the table looks good specially when you use a bit of charcoal the names pop out very good Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Hi glad you are still making videos . Awesome idea putting names on your table for your suporters
After you are done building the knew log thrower, you can use it for self defense. When Bigfoot throws logs at you, you can throw them back...
HA! Just wait for a week for the next video. You basically said the exact thing that I did.
That was almost creepy!
You need a couple of great dogs out there with you, they are energetic, good guards, great company, someone to talk to
best friends, eating buddies, etc...they bring so much to the table...just a suggestion.
FOR SURE. Almost got a Bernese Mt Dog a year ago and it fell through. Wanted one my whole life.
Soon...
@@survivingringworm2202 The Bernese Mtn dogs are the best. Sorry the deal fell through. Keep up the great work
great idea with the table Ryan. Me thinks I may have to contribute. Always enjoy the videos.
Thanks! I had no idea that something I made with a chainsaw could actually be PRETTY.
Dude get ready. You are going to be famous. Get started thinking about your first book!
5 minutes of fame
Oh crap. That sounds horrible! The fame part, not the book.
Love your videos as always. How about you build a simple roof'ish structure above your tent. Just to keep the snow off your tent. Then you can use your palace all year round....
On it's way!
Now, that’s the way to eat applesauce! 👍😀
If you are looking for something to make from wood....look into "Molkky" wooden throwing game. We play with our grandchildren 5-7 years old. Some fun project. Also a game "Kubb Viking Clash Toss"
Have fun
Looks super fun. Stay tuned for the next video. I'm seeing a hybrid coming up.
Love your sense of humor and all your vids.
Ryan that’s really nice
Another great video. I love your attitude that SPRING is HERE! The harder you proclaim it the more it has to be. is all of your water basically run off or it the water table that close. Any chance you will end up digging a well a little closer the the camp or are you worried about shower contamination. I didn't know is a open ended 55 gallon drum with some sand and gravel dumped in the bottom. I think that the picnic table turned out great. I look forward to you varnishing all the trees in the forest. Bowling pins.... have a great day and thanks for sharing!
Man, it's nice to have some spring weather finally!
Would love to have a well but the ground is all rock so will have to stick to pumping run off for the time being.
Actually there are covers for IBC tanks I dont know how well they work for heating or warming but I did see that they had them.
good stain would be black walnut husks boiled
Another good episode!
Your a real craftsman
Great videos, really enjoy them.
Learn so much from you thank you.Happy Thanksgiving😊
Thats a good idea for your Patreons. Now I feel like I'm not giving due credit to mine
Maybe you should carve their names into your kitchen floor?
Love your videos.
Love the way the table looks after varnishing. Thanks!
Gotta love that tube steak!
Kind of a classy joint
Hell yeah Greg.
Your awesome bro
It like a homemade well
Stay classy !!
I'm famous now. Perfect way to note your supporters.
Immortalized in cedar!
You need a solar generator something you can just put the panels out when you wake up and take the panels down when your going to bed. No noise and believe it or not goes along way.
Love the content, brother
I hope you donate.....so he has to carve your name in his table
GETS to carve your name in the table.
Hey why don't you build an insulated box to protect that water tank from freezing so that way you don't have to worry about it freezing up on you
Thanks
Love it . See you next week
I didn't realize you were in the UP. I'm in WI, near the border. We're practically neighbors. I don't know how you stay out there all winter.
Ha! I just grin and bear it. And never sit down. Or stop moving.
lol "Summer" doesn't start up here till around Mid June and lasts till around the end of July then the temps start going back down to the 50's and 60's and before you know it the ground is covered in snow again
Friend, your level of class is on par with mine. I think I may build a picnic table as well.
Gotta love classy, back-woodsmen. They are a scarce quantity!
Did you hear about Forster and Penley when listening about toothpicks? We used to print stuff for them way back. Great idea on carving the table! Have a great week
Unfortunately, I think my brain is actually allergic to remembering names. They might well have been the main characters of the story, but after 2 hours of listening...nothing.
@@survivingringworm2202 no problem! Just scratched my brain when you mentioned toothpicks!
Have you looked at those propane powered showers that give you continuous hot water? You could probably turn your setup into one of those with a coil in the pot as a heat exchanger.
I've seen them but I actually really like this shower setup. Hard as it might be to believe. It's kind of fun.
Cool idea for carving names into the table. My last name is 12 letters, so I’ll get my money’s worth 😄
Edit: last initial only - saved you 11 letters!
I appreciate anyone that saves me labor!
So it occurred to me that there is a lot of heat not being used (other than tube steak flambé) how about heating water? Propane is expensive. Great video, thumbs up.
Ryan is that roof for shower or tent or both. Ok roof sounds good.
Have you ever considered witching for water sources and hand digging a shallow well to extend your access to water?
Through all those rocks?
I was just wondering how many acres you had there
Have you thought About using a ram pump? Also camplux propane portable on demand heater for shower
I considered the on demand water heater early on but then go so used to scooping with the pan, I never got around to it.
As crafty as you are, you should make items to sell. Maybe little wooden dice. Just a thought. Great channel. You're one of my favs.
Thanks Chuck! Problem is the packaging and printing and shipping part. Not such a great place to run that kind of business from unfortunately.
hey Ryan why don't you check out the ram pump from land to house instead of using the battery powered pump you can have all the water aii the time
Is fill both tanks then when the top one runs out used the ryobi pump to fill the top 1 from the bottom 1🤔🙂👍
Right! That's what I did last year but since it takes quite a while to use up one complete tank, I like to wait till early summer to fill them both. Try to fill the reserve just before it gets super dry around here.
Ryan do U think U will ever build around your tent there. Maybe a top cover for it. Think that would be cool.
Yup. Hope to put a roof on some time this summer. But not sides.
Good Morning Worm how are you? You have got a great channel am watching you now in the house I am going to sell to go up north for me. Too far for me to drive when driving 4 times up there for doctors appointments!!! That table was made for a KING!!!
I hear ya! I made a lot of 8 hour round-trip drives to see the doc a couple years back. it got OLD pretty fast.
@@survivingringworm2202 COULD HUG YOU RIGHT NOW !!! THANKS FOR SAYING WHAT YOU DID !!!
How do you transport your LP tank to get it refilled - those jokers are heavy when full
It is pretty attrocious. I just filled the 100 pounder after almost a year and a half. Turns out it still had 30 pounds in it! That info didn't make me any too happy.
I strap it in the trailer behind the four wheeler and drive about 1/16 of a mile per hour.
Love your channel. You amaze me with your talent. Do you sell on etsy?
Thanks!
Never been on Etsy. Do people want to buy tables covered in names and chainsaw oil?
@@survivingringworm2202 No they sell handmade items there.
Have you tried 1/2 amp diodes hooked up to disposable batteries to keep your water from freezing?
Nope. Didn't even know that was a thing. What kind of batteries?
@@survivingringworm22021/2 amp diode to keep water from freezing? Never tried it. Only heard of it through chickens. I think it would require a steady power feed and the cold would drain the batteries so it may not be plausible. Worth a tinker. Keep up the vids!
What type of tent is that!? Besides marmont like the model
Marmot Orbit 4P I think. Great tent as long as you are on a pool table!
Well Hello there Ryan. Saw your video of U & girlfriend. She seems very nice & alot of fun. Of course your crazy guy anyhow. So have U thought of what U were going to start first? Love your shower & did a great job on the tables. Love the tent--really looks homey. Did U plan on building sides on your shower? U take care of yourself. God Bless...Phoenix
Wowzah! Just noticed 15.9 subs!! Awesome!
God only knows who they all are, but clearly they have horrible taste in entertainment!
@@survivingringworm2202 haha! I love seeing that number go UP--haha get it!
Put black paint in them
It's 80°F in this part of Minnesota. I think it's summer. :-)
Minnesota. California. What's the difference?
@@survivingringworm2202 International Falls MN will be 41° on Thursday, and Friday. CALIFORNIA!? Wash your mouth out. ;-)
It's warming (kind of?) up! Fun project time! Out of curiosity, is Tito coming back to frequent the Worm now that it is going to be more warm? :P
Who knows. Haven't seen much of him since last summer. He's got a real job down state so doesn't come up much.
You're like the Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross of the forrest 😄 Have you though about making some benches called "pigs?"
Basically a half of a milled log with round legs pegged into the ends. A youtuber named Logcabinlooms has a video of that type of bench I think.
Very useful for when you get visitors...like you often do 😄
That's funny, I actually had Bob Ross on the mind several times as I was varnishing.
I'd love to make some benches and high stools that way but don't have the right bit to bore the holes. My Dad and I tried it but cedar is just so stringy, it wouldn't really cut.
@@survivingringworm2202 Maybe the youtube fairies will gift you the right bit some day 😉
On RUclips a guy did a well with plastic pipe and high pressure hose you should check it out
I saw him! Won't work if the ground is all rock tho.
Am I 1st? Ooh Rah!:) Semper Fidelis
Impressive! I think?
What do you do with your garbage?
Just have to hope that I either leave once every few weeks or someone comes to visit. Everyone that comes for a day or a week goes home with garbage!
Here's logcabinloom's video making the bench "pig." ruclips.net/video/bqwB4apNom0/видео.html
Wow, I didn't watch your channel for almost a year and there is just sooooo much content now. I have seen some thumbnails and you are getting up to some mayhem! This feels very christmassy.
The Dollop with Dave and "Gary" ?? BRUH?!?
Since you have IBC totes, get a couple more and make yourself an outdoor shower like this guy... ruclips.net/video/qzIIP1LqKTQ/видео.html
Use a camp heater for a propane tankless water heater. These heaters are available at sprawl-mart or other big box stores. You have the technology Ryan and your lady may appreciate the opportunity. With a closable door you may be able to use it year around. Stay safe out there. Peace brother.
Oh now I feel terrible....as soon it all changes for me I’ll be back.
Don't worry about it! Life happens.
Carving names isn't about money. It's just to say thanks for caring and supporting. You did that.
Your highness/ lowness - is multipurpose I guess?
could you use your ryobi pump to make a real shower?
It would work but it's super loud. I was planning to just make it gravity feed to a shower head but found that I actually like the pan just fine.
Great video..Please can i have my name on your Table... GAIL..
Wow. All that shit's expensive ...
I see all of that wood burning, and energy wasted. Can't help thinking you could have a steam generator, to charge all of your power packs.
Ha! Awesome.
Why not build a roof structure over the tent so you don’t have to worry about snow loads? Maybe even just a frame and a plexiglass (if you can get your hands on it for cheap) roof so sun light can still get through?
I’m confused about the lectures- are you slightly surviving ringworm or are you thriving on ringworm? There’s a whiny component but, I’m just a peasant
I'd like to see an infermaity..if & when you get sick you'll have a warm enclosed room with bed & heat source to stay in.name it M.A.S.H.4077
Poly is just about the worst wood finish ever. It always scratches, dosnt protect and needs to be completely sanded off to recoat. Honestly for a picnic table in the woods like that I would use motor oil. Used motor oil if you want it dark, transmission oil of you want a red tone or new motor oil for a more clear finish.
When it all peels off, it'll get tranny fluid! Half covered in bar oil already...
