Back in the early 90's when Home Depot first opened around here (Warwick, RI), they legit had a permanent stand outside the entrance where you could buy sausage, dogs, burgers, and canned sodas. Was there for years before it disappeared.
@@chanceburger3169 This one in particular wasn't even mobile. It was basically a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen and counter up against the building. Its roof was the overhang that covered the entrance/exit. Now it's where they put the grills, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, or whatever's in season.
As a single female,I really enjoy listening how you explain what your aiming to get done,seeing the progress in your land your developing. I admire you and your wife of your accomplishments. Thank you for your interesting videos
Years ago I was helping my father drop a big red oak, and when it fell to coons came crawling out of it. "I didn't need that tree" he said. We both felt bad, but they didn't get hurt. I love how you care about the land and who lives on it. The place is looking great Dave.
When I was 8 my friend and I were throwing rocks into a dirt pile, and one rock collapsed a toads' little den. Seeing this tree frog just have me the most intense reliving of that moment.
My 4yo and I love watching your videos! He has learned so much about building from you already and just informed me he wants a logging arch for Christmas! He also just said if he was there with you, he would help :)
Every 4 year-old needs his own logging arc!! Hopefully Santa can fit it down the chimney. Keep him watching this channel... and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine young man!
Watching a guy do light too medium duty work shouldn’t be this interesting. I think it’s your voice that keeps people coming back for more. I keep coming back and I like it.
I got a log arch for my husband when our truck died!! Oh man they are amazing! Ours is a walk behind but even I can move a pretty huge trunks up to 16 feet long! The older we get we try to think smarter, not harder! Best money I ever spent!! Have a great summer!!
I love campfires. I grew up on the northern shores of Lake Huron & now live in a Detroit suburb. Camping keeps me sane. We do have a small fire pit we made with some bricks from Menards & that is calming. My dad used to make & smoke our own Kielbasa. Now I hit up the Polish Mkt or Kowalski’s. 😊
This might be a bit of topic... But, can I just applaud your style of story telling for a sec?... See, as a kid I used to love hanging out with my grandfather, you could always find us up to some shenanigans out in the woods a 2 minute walk from my grandparents' house or out in the garage building something... most of my family say that I get my "mcguyver" style of life from him (our motto was always "if you don't have or can't afford it, just build/make it"), and I am darned proud of that! But he was also a really good story teller, he kind of had a way of making you feel like you were more than just a sideline spectator to the story, and sneaking in lessons and learning moments in such a way that us kids didn't even realize school was in session... He passed away 10 years ago, and I still miss him everyday (I ask myself "w.w.g.p.d?" pretty much every time I come across a problem or situation that needs a fix that I can't seem to think of) Watching your vids is a big throw back to those "good old days" for me, so thank you!
We lived totally off grid for 40 plus years in Vermont, loved every minute. I built an arch for 4 wheeler, just found the pictures recently, brought back a lot of memories. Probably pulled 8/10 cord of wood per year. would love to send you a photo if interested. watched a lot of your stuff, all great great information! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Another great video, and it didn't require perfection or a purpose or a theological idea. It was just a guy working on a project and getting things done. More please.
Made my day! Wasn't expecting a Dave video today ... Should have ... Because one thing we know for sure about Dave ... He's radical!!! Best story teller I never met ... Thanks for another insightful life session looking through your eyes! 'Til the weather cools, or another radical story line pops in your head ... I'll be ready to stop and listen!! Wishing you the best. And always continue to ... "B" radical!
The use of the Logging Arch reminded me of my pipe fitting days. The Sumner company made a similar product called a Grasshopper that was used to move lengths of pipe around a job site by hand. A very simple and labor saving device.
Dave you are amazing! Thank You for rehoming that little frog! This was a great video! You and Brook are so much fun to watch! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🪵🏠
Really enjoyed this video, Dave! The log arch is impressive! I love frogs and seeing how gentle you were with this one made me admire you even more! You and Brooke are amazing builders and teachers. I'm sure your son will be the same because it looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Blessings to you and your family!
Hi Dave! Great seeing you on. I’m sitting here watching you where you started by saying you’re going to take it easy and not work too hard. Well, it looks like a lot of work. Great job on keeping the logs for a project or two. Really enjoy your vids, thanks for taking us along! God’s blessings!❤🙏🏼
This is truly a great channel. It has the relaxed music combined with calm narration. There’s a meditative quality to it. I dream of a life like this so it really awesome and calming to watch and learn from. Thank you sir for your honest work both on your property and on the channel. 💪🏼💪🏼
Dave, have to say i could watch your videos allll day, the knowledge and relaxing way you speak and your love of the outside and nature is so wonderful. i follow you, your wife and now your son, and all are good souls.
You should come on down to the deepest heart of south Abalama and the panhandle of Florida and do a little work out in the woods and see what HOT and Humid really is... You'll flee back up north and truly enjoy working in the summertime up there ..😂
Dad once reefed on a stump with his 66 Bronco and a chain. When it finally gave up, the Bronco’s front wheels came off the ground briefly and the stump ended up on the other side of street
It’s so awesome to be able make what ya need from your own property. Make it just as you want, size and quality wise. Having land with trees is like money in the bank, as you said many years ago. I’m so glad you share all the wisdom you share I’ve learned a lot! God bless you and your family!
I enjoy your videos. With that, I would have rented a mini excavator for the weekend and cleared everything and then some. I’m to old to do the manual labor anymore. God bless you and your family.
Dave, that was a pretty educational video. I’m 67 years old and pretty active yet. I must say I’m going to make something like you got to move logs. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and God bless you and your family. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻
Weird as it may sound this video is giving me comfort. A friend is on life support which will be switched off tomorrow. I say goodbye to her today. It’s pretty rough. Watching your videos (and Brookes) are always enjoyable to me so this helps. ~tall32guy
I love physics and simple machines! Nice logging arch... I didn't even know what that was at first! I enjoy how you explain everything... slowly, so the information can be processed!
I could watch these videos all day... Dave and Brooke are how I see America's best...self-reliant, living simply, and enjoying God's creation the way it was intended.
Dave, it is videos like this that your viewers want to watch. You can not tell me that it is too Hot up in Alaska to keep working on this clean up and rebuild project. Now if you got something else going on then I would believe that. But the heat in Alaska isn't even that bad yet. Once it gets over 100F then I totally understand. Please, more videos like this.
I live off grid 3700 elevation in northern California close to Oregon border. I found you after watching your sons cabin build videos. Amazing all the things you thought him I love it. I had no idea what along arch was until today. I love learning all these new techniques and equipment you have shown me just in the few days of me checking your channel out.
My dad and his brothers used to cut firewood in the wintertime. I think they used a buzz saw that was powered off a belt attached to the output shaft belt pulley on the tractor. That was probably back in the 1940's. My grandfather made the comment that on one snowy day he had to go but he was out in the field. His impromptu tp was a snowball. He said it was cold but it did a great job at getting him clean
What would we do without the Whipples? I watch four of them now. 😃 Bunnings ( like home depot) usually has a sausage sizzle on in the parking lot here. It’s awesome! Shop for goodies and have a sausage or two while you’re doing it!
A log arch is such a useful device. I was using my own, new arch to shift some larch tree butts out to my sawmill. It would have been impossible without the arch. One tip: the sling chain on mine came with a thin metal rod at one end (a bit like a knitting needle, but stronger) it can be pushed underneath a log that is on the ground and retrieved at the other side to make the loop around the log. Saves having to lift the log up and maybe straining your back. Yes, summer is too hot for this work...time to chill and enjoy your land.
Love tree frogs and a fire. It was nice watching you clean up the trees. Can hardly wait to see all you guys do to that house to make it liveable. Enjoy your summer.
I love your reverence for even the smallest of god's creatures. I am the same mowing the lawn, constantly stopping to let lizards get out of the way. Takes twice as long but it's worth it!

Yes the one by me in Annapolis MD has had a food truck there every day 15 years running

Their son has a channel now. Betting on Alaska. He's bran new to You Tube and I expect he & his channel are going to do great things.
why does it matter to know you are a single female?

There’s something calming and peaceful about Dave and his methods. I always look forward to them.
Thanks

That logging arch is pretty cool and using the wheel horse is a great choice. Too many folks overlook the value of a good old garden tractor.
Thanks Dave. You and your wife produce some of the best videos. They are always entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing it with us.
And son too now!! "Betting On Alaska"
Lots of useful info on this one, Dave! Also, great save on the tree frog! 🙂
Missed that little guy by a coat of paint.
The log trailer is sweet. Thanks for this upload.
Our Lowes used to have a truck out front for years. Selling sausage and peppers sandwiches. Made me hungry even if I had just had lunch. lol
My Lowes too in Central PA
Watching these video's makes me wish I was young again with a strong back.
Thanks for your work Dave. Your common sense approach opens an eye to get off the couch and get to work. Keep producing these great videos
Much appreciated
Never to old to learn new things even if you never implement the knowledge in your everyday life.
Thanks Dave.
Blessings to you and the family.😊🇺🇲

Great progress on the cabin Dave, Always peaceful to watch your life in the woods. ! Thank you for your content !
Thanks for watching!
I’ve said this before but I swear Dave me and you are on the same wavelength. Its like watching my more patient older brother lol.
Nothing better than sitting back and watching someone else work! Keep it up!
Poor little tree frog. Thanks for relocating him. 😊
That log arch is the coolest thing I've seen. Its like your own little skidder
I had forgotten just how enjoyable and downright soothing your videos were - many thanks
Have found this project really interesting and, as and others have said, watching you at work is a real pleasure. Can't wait to see progress!
So cute and lovely that frog

That’s freaking crazy the frog survived!! Property is starting to look good. Great work Dave!! ❤
Tree Frog gonna tell all his buddies about the alien he met. lol.
Love the ideas you present on how to do things and make them look fairly easy. Looking forward to the next!
Dave you are amazing! Thank You for rehoming that little frog! This was a great video! You and Brook are so much fun to watch! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🪵🏠
I love your videos. I feel very peaceful watching them. And I always learn things.
Another good one. But we need more. It's just too good. You are the gold we've been panning for.
Love all your videos just wish they were longer. Enjoy your content and listening to your voice is so relaxing.

Thanks Dave for the nice video. Log hauler is a great idea. Can't wait till the next one.
I also have an Echo saw. It’s been excellent. Their weed eaters are great too.
Can't get enough of your videos ,relaxing, educational and informative 👌 keep them coming
Are Boss is an echo dealer! He’s used em all and loves the Echo! Great video Dave
Hey Dave love the tree Arch, epic save on a tree frog. Glad to see you folks again. God bless
Hi Dave! Great seeing you on. I’m sitting here watching you where you started by saying you’re going to take it easy and not work too hard. Well, it looks like a lot of work. Great job on keeping the logs for a project or two. Really enjoy your vids, thanks for taking us along! God’s blessings!❤🙏🏼
So looking forward to your next video of the abandoned cabin. Can't wait to see what you and Brooke do to it. It will be beautiful!!!
Hard work and a little common sense! Will get you everything you need in life!!! 🇺🇲💯✌

Those arches really make a hard job easier. So much better than dragging the log across the dirt and mud
Hello Dave good you safe froggy 🐸 nice to see you take care.
Dave, have to say i could watch your videos allll day, the knowledge and relaxing way you speak and your love of the outside and nature is so wonderful. i follow you, your wife and now your son, and all are good souls.
Every home depot needs a hotdog stand outside. Yep!

@6:33 I am 100% with this idea!!! Love how you ask your local community to build stuff for you too.
Steve! Thanks for appreciation of our kiełbasa!
05:00 I gave up some time ago on similar stump... with no horsepower available.But its time is coming!
Did a whole lot of this after hurricane fiona hit last fall. Somehow it's still interesting to watch someone else doing it.
"any store that sells lumber should also sell polish sausage". Truer words have never been spoken good sir.
Oh man! I caught you in under an hour of this going up! Good way to start my day.
Something satisfying about cleaning up logs. I have to clean up hundreds left by beavers.
Oooh that little 🐸 so sweet...hop on little buddy ..great bit of kit Dave 👍
That was fun. I'll be here for the next one. See ya, Dave.
You videos never cease to put a smile on my face no matter how low I feel. It always makes me wish I had a few acres to work on myself.
Dave, thank you for showing the proper way to put a tow strap on a hitch. That way is far safer than slipping it over the ball.
Great to see a project come from a kid learning to create. God Bless!

It must be a great feeling when you build your side buildings from lumber that grew at the very same spot.
Nice save on the toad Dave. You radical guy. Thank you.😊
I enjoy your videos. With that, I would have rented a mini excavator for the weekend and cleared everything and then some. I’m to old to do the manual labor anymore. God bless you and your family.

The frog was real lucky. That is best way to move logs without wearing yourself out to quick. Take care Dave
Love listening to you, Dave. You do such a great job of explaining what you're doing and why!!
