(here in Canada, southwestern Ontario) who would have thought a video about unboxing and setting up a sawmill would be interesting? I kept comparing it to the ones we see on unboxing a new computer or cell phone - haha. they have nothing in common. and think how much we would complain if we had to send back a component that was defective and wait for a replacement, and all we have to do is put it in the box and take it to the post office (or even easier - call the delivery people to pick it up from our home). thank you so much Daniel for a view into a world completely unlike my own. I know the world is a much better place when we can share other perspectives. you have made it possible for me to see things that I would never be able to at my advanced age. thank you!
a thumb on the bucket would be a nice addon. if in future you are going to mill logs from the ridge.. place some type of slide (on the ridge, easily setup and take down) for the logs, that is also easier for you to climb and use the slide to bring the cut length logs to the mill.
Bravo Sir, It looks like you really understand the undertaking ahead and accept the challenges. We all can't wait to watch your progress along with you. You are off to a hell of.a good start!
Interesting setup. I also like you have your best friend with you as well. Make sure you give that friend all the food and love you can. She is a devoted partner now... Thumbs Up!
Some day I will publish the video from the trail cam showing her walking around minding her own business in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. But Yes she's a great partner out here.
So many diamonds in this video! I love your dog. I live that tracked machine. I’ve never seen one. The backhoe attachment is really helpful too. The sawmill will be a huge help in fulfilling your dreams. The bad motor sucks and shows me lack of quality control on their part. Your location is what I’ve only seen in my dreams, it’s beautiful! I admire your grit and determination because it’s going to take a boat load of it to turn this into a home. I’d love to come along on your journey and see it unfold.
Thank you. It helps me a lot to know how you view the video. I really wish I had a way to show you the location more. Through the lens it just looks like a bunch of trees. I will try to borrow a drone somtime. Thank you again!
Greetings! Incredible skills! I honestly believe deep down in every man, the wild, raw nature beckons his soul. The forest speaks to us, either welcoming or raised eyebrow? 😉 Sacred whispers, echoes the cycle of life. Breezes, dancing leaf's playing peekaboo with the sun reflecting water, fire, sparks and smoke all seem to welcome you. A beautiful life you're carving out for yourself and future generations. Getting my YT Fall Lineup in order! Guess we're virtually spending the Holidays together! 😝 Your precious-girl is so protective, so was mine, big smile on my silly face! ✨💛✨
Wauw what a location, energy, equipment creativity and ideas. Thanks for showing your work, goodluck and have a lot of fun. And that many videos may follow 😉. Saludos from Chile
Thank you George! What a kind comment! I'll try to push on and give you a new video soon. If you have any questions on the equipment I'll gladly answer them. Thank you so much!
@@DanielatLazyCreek Thnks, no questions for the moment, just know that your enthusasm is notable. And that kind of videos I like. Take care and progress. 👍
Amazing🤤👀! The length of determination combined with constructive adaptable ingenuity is built into this man to premeditated goals yet to further accomplishments as modern pioneer. Noted done by himself with no assistance by anyone else. Sir, you got my attention!! I'm a fan and hooked tuned in as i am subscribed to further curiosity as to where your journey leads you!! 👏👏👍👍
Love watching this. Looking forward to catch up and follow this through. It is my dream to live off grid or at least in a small cabin in Sweden after retirement
That really does sound like HEAVEN to me! Just my Two Dog’s, and myself!!! The only thing I’d have to check up on is their Firearms Laws. Not saying that I need to have my AR’s, and my H&K’s with me. I’d just need a rifle or two, and my Shotty Rifles for Large, and Smaller Game. Then my Shotty for Ducks and such. Oops almost forgot the Rifle for protection for myself out in the country. Not that I’m worried about the Two Legged animals, but more like Bears and such since I’d prefer to Beas far away from civilization as possible
OK, looked through the comments but didn't see where anyone asked. Your pup is beautiful and seems to be very attentive and helpful. What is her name? Life is SO much better with a good dog around as a companion.
Do like this kind of videos. Lots of work but in the end its worth it fixing your handle ive seen my dad use tine tar as glue and wrap a handle the same way as well as the same for a cracked long shovel handle stay safe work safe
Ps if I was you for the digger arm I would defo pick up some extra buckets be it trenching bucket or few others plus maybe build with some timber a proper bridge over the river aswell will help alot. Could you retro fix the oxen to have a seat on it bud to allow you to rid it
The main concern with the digger right now is the connection to the forwarder. It's absolutely horrible to move because it's too heavy in the front. But you know, with a million things on the todo-list I am just going to pretend I haven't figured that out yet. The bridge could absolutely be a concern when the water rises in in a couple of weeks, but again, I am just denying that fact too. A trench bucket would be absolutely awesome. With the steering on the handle, I don't know if it is possible to ride it. Also the winch boom is really horrible when operating the digger as it pokes you in the back. I will probably have to adress that too. And yeah, I broke a couple of welds on the brackets the last day I used the digger so I have to get a generator out and weld those. And it's leaking in the hydraulics. I really love that add-on. Yep. It's perfect.
@@DanielatLazyCreek right simple thing to do here is. A mate mine is a awesome worker at bush fixes he has a channel called MARTY T he is one for buying old and repairing. So he would be a awesome guy to contact and see if he could give some advice on either improving the original or repairing it. Also check out his channel for a home made power generator for site using your stream running down the site even if only temp. As then you would have power to site with a few simple things. The buckets would be awesome if you could but the main priority for you would be repairing the digger and getting that bridge built as the river will start to swell in next couple weeks meaning you will need a safer way yo get across. How far from main road is it to site. As if you could improve access like the bridge and road you could of needed bring in other equipment to help you a little easier than struggling as much that all
@@DanielatLazyCreek it's cool I'm just trying to help as really wouldn't want you getting hurt from equipment or been stuck if the river swells so maybe good idea now you got shelter and saw mill to open up your road and build the bridge with the saw mill so you don't get cut off also so you can bring things in alot easier. Do you know anyone out your way with a grader to grade you a road In? Then just dig the ditched out either side to help keep the road dry. I know seems alot work but of the machine goes down fully and you can't easily bring in stuff to fix it then it'd going to be bad for you is all.
Hello, I am excited what and especially how you have created in that time. You try to go the small path between too try hard and puristic an using too much heavy equipment. I think its just great what you are doing :). Did i miss, you mentioning how long the walking distance from the road to your camp is?
Nice! FWIW, three cuts with a chainsaw on a round of deadwood will make a *MUCH* better stove for cooking and making coffee on. Look up 'chainsaw Swedish torch' to see what I mean.
Wishing isn't going to get anything done. It's all in the mind and the body will follow. So, this gentleman didn't wait, pine, and come up with excuses. No help, no problem. There is ALWAYS a way, when the mind is made up. Sure it's faster and easier at times to have the third hand. It is about a skill set problem solving and it will work out. The day will come, after alot of hard work and a will that will not be broken with set backs and behold the journey will be worth it and finished. Only to begin again with a different endeavor with all new challenges that will be conquered with the mind first and then the body will follow to certain victory. Only you must decide if the thing is worthy of a commitment to completion. A half built anything is worthless..........
So that sawmill is around $3300.00, but that oxen tractor thing, looks like a mini front end loader, what brand is that? You make a good video!... definitely subscribed....
oh wow just found this video and channel ... where is that ??? not a chance in the US !!?? not recognizing any of the equipment or tools .... northern Europe i guess !?
Thank you Karen. There is a short window in spring when the elm has green seeds. It lasts about two weeks or so before they turn brown and dry. They taste like lettuce with ha hint of nut.
@@DanielatLazyCreek Thank you. I'll research it. I've got some land to prep for building and utilities to run in underground. Do you have a guess as the price to get one to my home in Oregon?
@@DanielatLazyCreek That is a great start. Thank you. In all probability they went out of business in 1986 ;-) but I'll give it a shot. Joy and victory in you adventure. Ken
@@DanielatLazyCreek I read through other comments and your responses to get the name. I wanna make one but can’t find out what transmission they use? I emailed the Swedish iron horse company to ask, haha.
Iron horse (järnhäst) is a different constuction with a variator. This one drives the tracks with hydraulic motors. If you make one please film it and post it. I dont think its impossible at all.
![KAYTRANADA - Witchy (feat. Childish Gambino) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jGK3YVmGZ3Y/mqdefault.jpg)

Not sure I understand.
I am planning on making a log deck. Is that what you are reffering to as a slide?
Reminds me of Richard Proenneke Alone in the Wilderness without the voice over. And with better tools. Definitely on the watch list.

from the Netherlands thanks for the video
That backhoe is really unique. That looks like a really great piece of equipment.
Good luck with the machine. Your dog is a big helper. Glad you have him. Love your walking machine and hauler.

Your living my dream.being out in the bush living off grid.
Just a reminder keep an eye out on your clamps that hold the log in place.
Thank you!
All right I wish I could do the same. nice equipment. I take it the bugs are not bad.
Getting better now, but they were a pain in spring.
You are one lucky bugger hey. Lovely.
First beams you cut straight, go under the mill. If it's solid you can level it.
That whas my thoght too. Then I got carried away and started processing boards...
I like your caterpillar /digger
Motivation plus.

I bring food or she eats what I eat.
Engine seized on the FIRST start???? I would be very wary of the rest of the sawmill now if they can't even make a good engine.
I'm not that worried. Briggs n Stratton must push tousands of those engines and this was just a bad apple.
Now I know how to replace an engine.
What is the track tank thing u build this or buy is so interesting got a video on just it?
It's called Oxen and is made here in Sweden. Not with just it, but I flip it in one of the cabin videos. Probably the second one about the exterior.
