This guy is living my dream. All brand new nice stuff, big house, huge plot of property with trees and water. The guy has nowhere to be but at home managing his property and protecting his family. At least somebody escaped the system. Good on you man👍🏻
I’m impressed. Wow nice set up. Takes too much money for this lifestyle. You really have to be fortunate or have a rich family to be able to live like this.
It really is a little slice of heaven isn't it.
Get yourself a Stormy Kromer hat! Made in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They’re fleece lined with a wool outer.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Nothing like a good Stormy to keep the melon warm
Warmest hats in the world and America made!
One pro tip for your firewood operation. If you build cages on top of pallets and store your firewood in them. You could just pick em up with the forks and take them to your fireplace with the skidsteer. And that would mean less manual labour in the winter when its cold outside.
@@dougdow1287 yes that woorks too !
Urban East Coast guy here, we are not all from soft men, our family traces back to Jamestown, not the original pioneers but close enough in 1619...hoping to break free of this urban environment soon and move somewhere to enjoy a little more freedom. Love your videos Cody, and happy to see a freeman and his family prosper. God Bless.
That’s cool about your family
@cmccoy19 "hoping to break free of this urban environment soon" you've literally had like 2 decades of warnings and still not out of the "urban" environment... ya you're weak.
Tough people everywhere. Rediculous
Relax bro, its all in good fun. Where would we be without a little rivalry?
Don't worry about it, this mf gets pegged by his Pro-Ho
"....and that's you!" jab at the begining, and the line about nothing worse than having another man tow you out in front of your wife had me lol'ing :) as always, I added a few more items to the To Buy/Research list after watching another entertaining and helpful video. -a fellow pro homeower in the great PNW!
An inexpensive 20mm ammo can would be good for those chains. Even has a rubber seal to keep moisture out.
You should get a large squegee mounted on a pole for the floor. Moves the standing water easily and with that woodstove the floor would dry up fast. Love my woodstove, especially when I can load it up with wood I was able to source for free.
That hurt to watch pushing snow and water with a shop broom. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice. BUY A SQUEEGEE !!!!!!! Leave it to a Westcoast guy 🤦♂️🤣
or what
they sell them a pool supply stores in my area.
@@timreid9556 They sell meth too? Asking for a friend.
You just showed me a picture of my dream life. Living out in the wilderness, on a river, heating with wood. Nice equipment to do what needs to be done, a beautiful shop space to store and work on everything. Maybe I'll get there. First I have to convince the Mrs. that this is better than life in suburbia!
A few comments: I have this issue in winter in my garage too: dealing with water on the floor when all the vehicles come in covered in snow/slush. I think running a dehumidifier is a good idea, as I've had issues with the excess moisture in the air causing my tools to rust. The problem is a dehumidifier will only work down to about 40°F, so you'd have to keep the place heated at least a little bit. The ultimate solution, and you probably know this too, is to have floor drains and pitch the concrete to them. Then you could even wash stuff in there and get all the slush/salt off with a nice warm water spray. Also looks like you need a slightly bigger wood stove for the size of logs you're putting in there! Hopefully some day I'll achieve my dreams too! God bless from slightly less snowy Michigan.
I was patiently waiting for, “Did I ever tell you this had dual alternators?”
Hey Cody, love that you're always preparing or being prepared for various situations. I take a lot of bits and pieces of information from each of these and apply it to my life. Thank you!
That whole West coast, East coast man thing, hilarious. 🤣 and nicely said.
Worst repair I ever did roadside was a new alternator. Simple job, but for an East Coast man I was proud to not have to call a tow. Guess I could’ve avoided it all if I had Dual Alternators.
As an East Coast guy living in Idaho, most epic repair ever was in Pa. Charged the battery and set off to the junk yard for an alternator Half way home the battery died and I pulled into a bar parking lot and unplugged their sign and plugged in my charger.. I pulled the alternator in the parking lot and had a fully charged battery and a beer. When there is a will there is a way. Now I buy new cars and drink beer at home. We all men when we choose to be.
Enjoyed watching. Hope mama kitty got all warmed up.
I put her box next to the fire 10 minutes ago,
She is a fiesty girl. So cute.
@@wranglerstar please can you keep the live streams on your channel for those of us watching overseas please ?
Snow chain storage idea: does your truck have a spare wheel hung under the chassis? If it does, and the wheel is facing down, could you use it as a sort of trough to store the chains in?
Also, when you build your new workshop, have you though about building a slight fall into the floor, towards the door for example, to make water management easier?
Will be installing a wood stove shortly to supplement heat,figured I might as well seeing how I started a fire wood business, might as well enjoy the fruits of my labor, and you aren't kidding about a workout, and people have not a clue how much work goes into processing firewood
Woodstove is my favorite item that I purchased for my house. As my grandpa would say they warm you twice 😂
Question for you....
What brand are those chains?
Also, do you have the part number as well? They look super heavy duty and will fit my Super Duty just right.
Also, my grandfather had an old F100 as his work truck. He had hooks welded to the rear bumper about 1 every foot across. That truck would end up in some super muddy construction sites. He would hang the chains across the rear bumper. They were always there when he needed them.
I'd also like to know what brand those chains are. I didn't see any links in the description. Thanks!

What band chains were you recommending or do you have a link? Thanks in advance!
I would like to purchase those chains as well, any info would be appreciated.
Loved the vibes in this video. Very pleasant and informative. Keep ‘em comin.
I use American made Studded alloy chains! 500 dollars a pair for mine! They fit my 2500HD! I will pull you out when you get stuck out east someday! LOL
“It’s amazing what you can do if you have to” pretty much sums up the toughness you described at the beginning. I’m from TN, but at some point all of our ancestors came from somewhere unless you’re 100% Native American. And they were already tough as nails.
When you said "Crisscross Applesauce" like my little girl, you lost a couple points on the manhood scale 😆 🤣
I jumped someone at the range the other day with that NOCO jump box you so highly praise. The car wouldn't take a jump from another vehicle and people were telling the guy he needed a tow. But I strolled in with the NOCO jump box and saved the day and got his car started. When the car started, I blurted out "Wranglerstar didn't steer me wrong". A few guys thought that was funny.
Another Professional homeowner saves the day,
@@wranglerstar when comparing Audew v Noco which would you recommend. I got the audew based on a past video and it has gotten me out of a bind.
I've got one and it sat in my truck for 1 entire year without charging and still saved me from getting stranded when my battery and alternator went in one go. They are incredible. Jumped my 5.7 liter truck no problem and still had charge. Definitely a bad habit to leave it that long without a full charge though lol
I've got the 40, its seems good,
If west coast men are tuff then can you please explain California and Seattle? Where you live is really beautiful . God Bless
Any info/link on those tire chains would be appreciated. Keep up the great videos Sir!
Same!
You left out a discount code. One of those would be super nice as well.
Ask your local tire shop if they order from Quality tire chain company and tell them you want the square link alloy tire chains. I happen to work for a distributor for quality chain out of portland Or. for the tire shops and many more places. I didn't put a capitol P in portland for a reason!
@@ryanmarks5178 Thanks Ryan!
Hey Cody! Where did you get your tire chains from? Been trying to find a set for my super duty but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I've been suspicious of the quality. The set you purchased looked very high quality
In the Midwest we call storms “Tuesday”
Your right about that! If you ask me whether your on the west coast or east coast when they get a little rain or snow they make it seem like the end is come. two words for them Man-up.

Tips and tricks your average homesteader/homeowner could use to help make their lives easier.
Now it's just look how many toys I have and this is how to homestead when you have all the best high-tech equipment. I personally can't afford a brand new truck with all the best upgrades, or a late model skid steer and mini hoe.
I'm not faulting you for buying these things, if I had the means I'd have them too. Your content is just unrelatable to me anymore so I've unsubscribed.
Have a nice day.
I was born in 87 and the only thing I've changed on the side of the road was an alternator. I know that's very ironic on this channel.😂
Urban West Coast guys make Urban East Coast guys look like West Coast Men.
In Sweden, we have the split wood in a wood shed near our wood boiler or wood stove. Easy to pick up when needed.
unlike us here in Europe the Americans like to start an engine to get things done. I love this stuff Cody gets up too, so much space to do all this cool stuff
I wouldn’t have my firewood so far away from the shop; why not just stack a cord inside?
I built a wood shed that will hold 24 loggers cord cut, split, and piled in with a processor. I always gave 3 years of dry firewood. I hated digging it out of the snow! I get 12 cord on one side every three years in rotation. I’m using about 4 log cords per year to heat my home.
Must be nice being a "professional home owner "
Getting paid to own a house. Good for you...
Hey Cody you should look into the decked system for your truck then you could have everything you need in the bed of your truck and still be able to use it like normal plus it would be locked up. Great video as always and I hope we get some of that snow here in Wyoming it seems like this year has been pretty mild.

@@Matthew33138 you can take them out pretty easy.
I wonder if the real reason you "left the church" has anything to do with how you react to criticism?
The amount of tools, vehicles and toys you own just amazes me. Legendary.
My mom says "you can tell the age of the man based solely on the number of proverbs and other wise sayings he recites during the day"
Hey out there, nice to see preparation pay off. Love the road side repair stories about your grandfather. My family has a few of those between all the adventures we have had. Best one is still losing an alternator in the middle of New Hampshire in the dead of winter. We were driving back to MA after a day in the mountain, when the lights all dimmed in the Ford Chateau van we were in. My youngest brother was driving alerted us of the trouble and we quickly found an auto parts store down the road. Once there, my second youngest brother got the alternator and tools from the store while my oldest brother and me were disconnecting the old alternator. We had the new one installed in record time and got home with no further issues. To this day, no one in my family calls that incident a breakdown, because we were never stopped long enough for the engine to cool. Just another day.
The older I get, it seems, the less I can deal with weather extremes.
Interesting, I believe the eastern men felt the obligation to remain in the east and make sure their extended family survived instead of running to the west where they only had themselves to care for. Different strokes for different folks but I have never felt bad helping family.
You should get a tennis court squeegee for drying the shop floor.
It's a big squeegee with small wheels and a rubber lip, about 4 ft wide.
You can dry that whole floor in about 30 seconds.🤔
There's something about a big snow storm that is enjoyable no matter the adversity! Thanks for all the great content and God bless from snowy MN!
Young Cody, I am always reminded that Australia was opened up by two wheel drives. And when I was a kid, if dad got stuck we all got out and pushed. No fancy four wheel drive back then, much less traction control and snow mode and all them fancy things.
Your stories about fixing things on the side of the road, reminded me of the time I had to replace a cylinder head on my ford Bronco after the thermostat got stuck and cracked the head... all on the bank of a lake. Yes I did have to find a used head, at a local wrecking yard, but the clean up and install was all me, by myself. I ended up rebuilding the engine when I got back home... that was tough!!
The jacket looks ideal for me. What type/model is it? I was on the web site and didn’t track it down
isn't amazing how friendly a cat can be when it wants a fire lit!!!
Thumbs up on the less hardy remark
“Goodness that’s not dangerous” made me laugh.
5:20 Freedom💪 love my wood stoves.
What state is this?
New Jersey
Hi from Scotland
Hey Cody, I agree that a good set of chains are worth their weight. Your last clip with the wood falling out of the stove reminded me of by dad. He started keeping a pair of stick welding gloves around the stove to put put on when adding to the fire or in case a small piece falls out. You can grab it and put it back in without an issue or burning your hands.
Wishing you and yours a happy new year
Tales are getting pretty tall out west!
100% correct on everything you said about firewood. Killing it as always.
If you want a comfortable cap that will pull down over your ears try a Stormy Kromer
“Cordwood… This is what freedom looks like. That’s why they want your wood stoves.” I don’t know why but that made me laugh! Love it Cody.
When you build your new shop (or do it to your existing) add a lean-to off the back for firewood storage so you're not fighting the snow
Cody you actually made me laugh with your comment of the "less than hardy folks stayed back east and that's YOU", directed to the criticism. Perfect! How dare they use the Lord's name in vain referring to your homestead as a God Forsaken place. I'm seeing a God blesssed land! Keep doing exactly what you do Sir! Love it!
If we live in a g_d forsaken place, I’m grateful he has placed me here (north Idaho for me) as this is the most beautiful place on earth I have lived and wouldn’t change it for love nor money. Something tells me from all you videos I’ve watched over the last almost three yrs, your opinion is probably very close to my own, bless you and your loved ones for that.
If you were looking to fish your stream, I’d try some wet flies, something that resembles those bugs under the rocks in the water.
The chains I bought for my suburban has the welded “V” on the cross links, sadly one night a cross link did break and yes it did damage the side of my vehicle, glad it got me home though. Do wish they cam with the cam tensioners. I also keep some long tie wraps for tensioning. Take a piece of pvc tubing wider that the chains, notch the ends to hold the chain and roll up the chains after every use, it will keep that knot out of your chains and with the chains installed you can keep the pvc in the cab as it isn’t heavy enough to do any damage if you roll
1) Skid Loader is badass
2) Love seeing the longer videos. Sometimes those 10-12 minute ones just leave something to be desired. I’ll watch either way, love your content.
3) You need a squeegee for the shop floor 🤣
I have my chains, with cam locks (a must imo) in an ammo box. Works a treat. Keeps them dry and secure until needed.
I've been driving the big rigs for 48 years, funny about chains I have a T-handle hook for grabbing the inside tire side link so I don't have to lay down on the snow. Plus for my ford F-250 I went to the company shop and cut down a couple truck chains to fit the pickup, and I can drive though the deepest snow. Oh I love your channel it's the greatest.
"This is what Freedom looks like". In 2021, I moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to West Des Moines, Iowa for a better career opportunity. I just looked up my energy statistics for January 2023. My home is 1,722 sq ft. 3 BR 2 BA single story, slab, hip&ridge, very southwestern looking with concrete walls and stucco exterior. Anyways, my home uses 23% LESS energy than the top 20% of homes within 8 square miles, according to MidAmerican Energy. I have a 5+ hour fire nearly every day after work. And all day and night on the weekends. Mostly I'm burning Shag Hickory and Ash I cut with my Stihl MS170 at my Father's lake home. I split the rounds in my 3 car garage with the Pittsburg 4 1/2 hickory Axe from Harbor Freight. If I want to split it down further for kindling, I use the Harbor Freight 1 1/4 Hatchet. I love every minute of it. Thanks for all the tips. I've really enjoyed discovering your channel on RUclips.
Hey Cody, that’s a great idea for a safe way to store your chains. I work in custom precision sheet metal fabrication, primarily in the CNC forming department. If you come up with a design, I’d love to fully fabricate it for you.
I live in South Florida. I haven’t had the heat on in the house in years
The thing about wood burning fireplace is it always warms you at least twice
I recall a vacation with my father, borrowed my grandfathers motorhome. Damn gas tank fell off, big, I imagine 100 gallons. My father put that back in with a board, a bottle jack and some of those metal hardware strips with holes in them from a hardware store, I recall being so proud that I could help ( or what I thought was help) at a young age, LOL. He did amazing things, they don't make to many men like that now, some I am sure, but unfortunately there are less and less men these days that can think on their feet and repair things in the field, or repair things at all. I am proud to of learned from him while we was with us. Thank you for allowing me to think of that memory from your story. Much appreciated.
Arguably, the people on the East coast were the sesnsible ones whose families survived in greater numbers. They did what they HAD to do, and no more, whereas the pioneers were driven to take insane risks. I bet if you checked the genealogy of Americans, the "soft" (think tactically smart) East coasters are far more represented.
Hoping for a proper cold snap here in UK. So far nothing but rain and endless mud!
Still not sure why you didnt stack the wood on a pallet and take up to the house a pallet at a time.
Im a homeowner. But never considered myself a professional or an amateur lol 😆
Southwest desert man here and holy cow that's allot of snow. People my whole life have mocked me saying I like to live and do things the hard way, lol.... well I do enjoy hard work :)
Wow that's what I call snow.I the UK we get 1inch and everything STOP'S 😁.Trev Barnsley South Yorkshire England 🏴.
My family moved west to the USA from Germany and stayed in NYC until I moved west. Guess I'm just the brave of the brave! LOL
Urban east coast man does not speak for all east coast man. He is a weak man, he is a fallen man. In the Hudson valley growing up I would get so giddy with excitement knowing a big storm was coming. Shoveling, plow rides, anything. Still feel that way at 30.
As a Michigan west coast guy (freshwater) we stack our firewood, but i guess, if all you have is conifer, may as well just pile it up, its not oak after all.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Hi from Vancouver BC, Canada, it used to be the true north strong and free, but now becoming communist.
Hey Cody, ouch! Do you really think that western folks are of brave heritage and Eastern are not??? I mean, I'm pretty sure my ancestors were brave enough to travel across an OCEAN. Same as most Americans.
I love when my one of my favorite RUclipsrs pays a subtle homage to another one of my favorite RUclipsrs...SKOOKUM!!!
Amen on the fire wood benefits. Taught my girls the same lessons along with a work ethic to go with it. Don't need a gym membership either.;)
16:24 And remember folks, Professional Homeowners never get under a vehicle that's supported only by a jack! Beautiful property BTW
GOD bless y'all
Cody is funny bashing the Ram trucks! I guess a Ford is fine if all you tow is a skid steer on a dump trailer.
Few years ago when we had 28" snow, a friend with a Ford F250 4x4 called me, asked if I would take some round bales of hay out to his cows on another piece of property 15 miles away because he tried and couldn't make it with his Ford. After 4 trips hauling round bales to his cows with my Dodge 2500, cummins 4x4, he tried to buy my truck.
Benjamin Franklin was an East Coast guy- without him probably none of this happens. God bless America. Be kind to each other.
Used to live in Occupied California. Deployed chains exactly once in 30 years. And that was because of a surprise. Dual rear wheels are absolutely useless in the snow......That is true. But I need them to tow my trailers for work. I have Ford F450's now. A few of them. Doesn't anybody with experience know whether putting chains on the inside wheel is worth the extra effort, or is the outside dual good enough? Also looking for opinions on whether to chain up the front axle on a 4X4. I now live in a place north of Occupied-California, and it snows a lot more here. I would appreciate any advice from people who know what they're talking about!
As a South East man, it may be genetic I suppose. I'd much rather be in a squal in the middle of the ocean in a 17' Boston Whaler or facing down a 10' bull shark while SCUBA diving than in a snow blizzard. Although I do enjoy snow skiing, snowmobiling, and even cross country skiing, the only manly skiing, I prefer to visit snow and return to the white sandy beaches of Florida where I can wear short paints all year long. Just have too much salt water in the blood.
And that's you.... Lmao... The funniest thing to ever be said.... Brilliant mate...
The you description of east coast men vs west coast men as different species cracks me up🤣 proud westerner from Northern Alberta here, love the videos, keep it up and God bless.
Oh, sure. West Coast man can blow snow! (Once he shells out for the right parts instead of making them himself.)
But can he handle the adversity of the heat and humidity in the Southeast and keep working all summer?
V/R,

Lol..urban east coast man...I was gonna say it looks like a day here in Maine the most east lol...but I get what he meens...FLATLANDERs...
Do you have any good brands for snow chains? I live in SoCal but I like taking my family up to the mountains to where it can drop close to 40-50 degrees just by driving 20-30 minutes and there is snow and ice. But nobody really sells them up here so I don't have any good baselines.
Do yourself a favor. Get a "Magic Creeper 51631" and store it in the truck. It's all material, no metal but who it works is just incredible and has been incredibly useful.
Looking at Mama Kitty, did you know that striped cats like her have an ‘M’ on their forehead. How it came to be was, when the Baby Jesus was lying in the drafty manger, he was cold. A cat jumped in, snuggled close, and kept the Baby Jesus warm. Jesus’ mother Mary was so grateful, that she touched the cat’s forehead, and ever since, striped cats have had Mary’s initial on their forehead.
A very old story, but true. That ‘M’ is always there, on striped cats.
Maybe I missed it or you didn't say. What brand of chains are those and if you bought them on the Internet, would you please share a link? Thanks (Edit: looks like Quality Chain Corp Square Link Alloy)
Not all east coast men are that way. I grew up in the Great Smoky Mtns. Idk if you've ever been but it's rough country. That's why its mostly Scots Irish & Native Americans around there. The yanks couldn't hack it. Lol
There is no difference between East and West coast men! I live in Florida I get up in the morning take a shower 🧼 I go to the beach 🏖 for breakfast have a vanilla latte with quiche or crêpes! Then I head over to the beach 🏖 to work on my tan. Then it’s back to the house 🏡 for a milk 🥛 bath 🛁 and lotion then I take a nap 😴 then I prepare for lunch 🥗 so as you can see it’s not much different that you’re day.
I’m sure it’s been covered but I can’t find the video. What size tire did you go with? I have a similar crew cab long box F350 and it’s time for tires. I like the stance and look of what you’ve put together. Thank you again for the great videos and wisdom!
Take a scrap of plywood, throw on some wasted 2x4 scraps spaced out for your chains. Lay them out ahead, drive on and it gives the flexibility to adjust and fit chains in the field without a jack. I have my old man's, probably never get rid of them.
@wranglerstar, I may be misinterpreting your catch phrase if we can call it that. You say another tip for professional home owners....
I really don't mean to come across as hateful or a jerk, but I am a home owner and a of father of 3 and I love it. I don't think of myself, or any other men who stay at home and do all our own D.I.Y as a "professional home owners" I love your videos and always watch them, but I really can't see or think of it as my profession. A stay at home Dad who does his own d.i.y, yes but it's just what we do for our family's. It makes it sound like anybody who owns a home become professionals.
If I am wrong or not understanding your meaning, I'm sorry. It just doesn't sound right.
Again I really do love your videos and will be hitting the subscribe button.
I have a FWD crossover and my friend has a big 4 wheel driver and he would brag all the time about it. We were in the pit in NJ and I said if you know how to drive you then FWD won’t stop me from doing what you do. RWD can cause problems though. We started going through the mud and sand and he got his truck stuck but I didn’t get stuck at all. I had wheel spin and had to work hard to keep control but I did it just fine. Knowing some physics really helps too. I’ve had rich friends with Awd cars brag too and then get stuck in the mud hahahahahaha it was always so funny. They’d get so mad and butthurt after bragging for so long.
Spent the afternoon last snowstorm and pulled 3 vehicles out of the ditch down the road from my home.
The very best thing about living in the west is the weather. I am loving all this snow we have been getting lately.
God bless.
East Coast man from Australia here! While we never get snow where I live, I
still find all your videos great content!
