Russell, u should be wearing bucking pants everytime u start that saw. Especially being that far from help. They saved me once in my 30 yrs of cutting my own firewood. Cheers from B.C.!
I bought a pair, can't find them! But I'm pretty careful when cutting paper with scissors.
Excellent idea moving the garden into sun.
Thanks Ray. Next video you'll see where we moved it.
Hey Russel I am 58 and you are trying to work like a 25-year-old. The hard way is going to wear you out before you hit 60. Work smart. Log Ox will save you're back by dragging the cut rounds to your splitter. Stand behind your lever at all times to avoid the splintering of dry logs and avoid injury. Hold the chainsaw bar upright while tightening the chain and locking in the lugnuts. I know what you mean by where the time goes when you want to accomplish some daily tasks. Never enough LOL. I am lucky that there are no ticks in my area. Not yet at least.
I am 59 and also highly recommend the Log Ox. It sure does help these old aching bones lol
@@PlaceOnTheHillProductions You can use it to drag. What configurations are your solar panels wired up? Your next game camera should be a solar-charging one. mine has worked great for over two years now and no battery change. $120 Amazon.
@@CanadianDiggersChannel I don't have much of a solar system in place. Just in the process of setting a small one up for my off grid workshop to top up my power station. Good tip on the trail cams. When it's time to replace them, I will definitely go with the solar versions. Cheers from central Ontario! - Frank
@@PlaceOnTheHillProductions Having an off-grid is hard work but it keeps you busy. I will Sub your channel.
@@CanadianDiggersChannel Really appreciate it. I will do the same.
That freaking log splitter is POSSESSED man, you need a priest to cast the demons out of THAT one. lol
I have a lot of alcohol.
For a pvc crack along the ball housing you could try metal putty but each time you open the valve the body might flex and reopen... source out a stainless steel ball valve, you can change it whilst the tank is full and will only loose a little bit of water and get a bit wet to boot. That plastic valve looked like it would get brittle when cold. Keep up your vids I thoroughly enjoy watching.
Where do you get a steel nut like that?
Thank you for the extra long video Russell, very nice!! The pond is beautiful. Glad you didn’t get hurt more from the log splitter. So nice to see City Girl back with you for a long weekend, hope you find those beautiful antlers.
Thanks Ruby. Half the video was from last week, when I didn't put out a video.
Best of health to you Russel and City Girl, loved the work you put in and the beautiful animals in your forest 😂❤
We put soooo much effort into those animals, Dorothy.
Another wonderful vid. But, dang!, that was so scary about the log splitter! You're so lucky you didn't get badly damaged.
Clever of you to figure out why that patch of unmelted snow beneath the horizontal dead tree.
You need to insulate EVERYTHING outside that might get damaged, including spigots to the tote. Things will crack when it gets cold enough.
Forget the anchor. Just knock off 3-4 fat beavers, tie them to the chain, and wait for them to sink. Replenish them couple times a year. (And I'm kidding!) Yeah, get that anchor. Hopefully there are some tree stumps or rocks down at the bottom where they can latch onto.
Yeah, CG returned. Good thing she wasn't nearby to watch that log splitter event. If it bothered your watchers, imagine what it'd done to her.
I can't insulate everything. Things too cray.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Sorry. Phooey. Can't even wrap it with some insulative tape??? The tote spigot, I mean. Not everything. What a sight... every tree, hedge, weed, rock, dog, wolf, deer, bear, snake, even CG. No no no, can't insulate everything. I realize that. And I'm being silly, but not about wrapping the spigot?
Glad you didn’t get more hurt with that wood splitter….and wow those Elk were massive!😮
Good thing I had my arm there, eh?
Thanks for trying to help the geese, have to love Junebug wanting her lovins she is so cute , Man Russell that was nasty with the wood chipper Gezz good thing you covered yourself shit maybe you need a full padded suite to cut oak lol happy your ok. Nice grain on the maple betcha Alicia can come up with something to make. Yup great spot for the garden all day sun if it's too hot put up a tarp. What an awesome video a nice mixed bag loved it. Such a peaceful beautiful area I love the hikes you folks take .
Sue, CG saw the slab I cut and got really excited, but she doesn't know what to do with it.
put it aside it has nice grain i am sure it will be transformed into something cool
Nice one Russel. Take it slow and be careful. Ten years ago I painted the roof on my small house in three days (two coats). Last year it took three WEEKS.
No shit, right Justin? 5 years ago I would be dancing on my roof. Soon Ray is coming to help install my new solar panels and I'm not sure I can go up there and help.
Russell, I like to mix some maple and pine in with my oak as well. Even when oak is dry it’s hard to get a fire cranking right away with decent sized splits until your coal bed is large and hot, especially in my fireplace. I always like to mix in the less Btu wood. It’s like a science after all these years, I burn every type and stack it accordingly. Keep up the good work!
Good call. It's hard to mix it all in proper amounts. I find I get way too much oak or maple, or whatever in a load.
If you ever want to try and fill something with superglue, put baking soda over it. Baking soda (bicarbonate) in combination with Cyanoacrylate undergoes a chemical reaction creating polymer chains that are stronger and more resilient than cyanoacrylate-water bonding and dries much faster. It's useful to make it act as a filler and the superglue and baking soda mix also bonds more readily with plastics than plain cyanoacrylate.
totes.
As my husband and I says your videos are so welcoming and so relaxing.
Hope your husband is doing better, Trudy.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin we take it day by day.
Wow you are a real goose-itarian. Use a cinder block as an anchor.
DAVID! Or Pam? I donno youtube switched up how they show us names.
David
Love the personalized plates city girl!
She spent a lot of time on those, Steve.
You might be able to use flexseal tape. I used it to cover a crack in a piece of pvc and it worked great.
Geese will eat whole kernel corn if you want to attract them to the duck raft. Never feed them bread. They develop angel wing and can be harmful for them. Happy solar eclipse. Can’t wait to see you capture that on time lapse. ❤🐾🐾❤
MARY KAY! We put left over bread in the bird feeder, but it doesn't go to ducks or geese. Love you.
There is no nutritional value in feeding birds bread. On a cold winter’s day, it does nothing to keep them warm.
Lucky you had your nards protected or you might have laid there a bit longer. glad you didn't get hurt. Get some JB weld and lightly sand the crack and apply the JB weld it will work like a charm.
And maybe a couple of band clamps to keep it closed up as the JB weld cures
gOOd call Ken
I am so sorry that that happened with you with the woods splitter. Wow.
Hi, Russell
Trail cameras probably fail due to moisture ingress. Although they are rated as “waterproof” or simply “showerproof”, they aren’t really. The reason is that the box “breathes”. As it gets warmed up, it forces air out and as it cools, it sucks air (and moisture) in. You can’t stop this but you can mitigate its effect to some extent:
1. Make a “roof” from thin aluminium sheet and secure it above the camera. This keeps sunlight and direct rainfall off the camera, thus reducing the heating/cooling effect. Make the overhang somewhat wider and deeper than the camera.
2. Coat the battery contacts and the door seal with silicone grease (not sealant!) Usually available from plumbing- or hardware stores.
A cracked pipe can often be repaired by melting the cracked plastic with a soldering iron tip.
Your saddle needs to be repaired before the foam disintegrates. Duct tape will do as a temporary repair.
Great idea fella
I live in a small town in a valley in California. We have had Canadian geese flying over a lot this this Spring. I love seeing them and listening to this honks. Such a joyful thing.
I enjoy your videos very much. Beautiful scenery. Hard work doing logs glad you didn't hurt yourself too bad. The wildlife footage was so good to see. Hoping you will find those antlers 🙂
Thanks Penny!
Get a couple of cinder blocks for an anchor
which brand?
Just happen to notice Raspberry Rock's 600+ videos have over 15 million views..... wow and congrats on reaching so many of us !
Thats is amazing!!! He put in the work :)
That's a lot of people. I don't know how many, but a lot.
Working with machines out in the wilderness as you did in this video SCARY 🫣
Suggestion Russel, check the oil level in the chain saw., if low; may be the chain issue. Secondly, are your tires flat on the wood splitter, it needs stability This portion of video is scary. 🫣 Sitting on the job 🪵 nobody gets ahead taking short cuts. You have a better sense of reaction standing on your feet. Play safe out there.
Brenda do you know how oil works in a chainsaw?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Russel, oil lubricates the chain and bar. My man worked in the Forest Industry for over 40 years and worked/works on chain saws. I’ve been around long enough to know these maintenance procedures too. There’s 2 types of oils required; One being Chain Oil Russell
and the other mixing oil.
I swear your equipment has it in for you. Thanks for the video. 😁✌️
Thanks Markus!
That tool is an all purpose tool for chainsaws the big socket looking ends covers the 2 sizes of spark plugs that chainsaws have
But where do you put it?
I've been subscribed to your channel for probably a year.. I absolutely love your videos which is crazy I live 20 miles outside of Chicago so I am really not in nature much.. I just find them so interesting even relaxing. The other crazy thing is I have a cat that sits glued to the TV whenever I play your videos..lol
Thanks Marian!
Omg that log splitter should come with a BIG SAFETY WARNING!!
Yes Russel They can bite ! Man stay safe out there , & even the flat way I always keep my hand on the block just incase so I don't get it in the face, Good tool but who knew they fight back !
Coulda killed me dude.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Yes many people have been hurt pretty bad, Had a buddy that got a bunch of stitches in his face & some new teeth because of a stubborn birch , I always keep my hand on the block , I'd rather a broken arm rather than face !
Nice video Russell! Loved all the animals on your webcam! The elk are so majestic they are so huge but move with such ease!
I love ❤️ your videos!
Gives you relaxing and adventurous.
I think some flex seal tape should stop your water leak. It comes in a spray and a liquid also. It's rubberized to prevent water leaks.
Good call Betty
Beautiful pictures of the wild life very impressive
You should be here Donna.
It never fails with me and super glue, either. I get it 😅😂lol
J-B Weld for the water pipe may do the trick until you’re able to replace the part.
WOW! Big ole boys!
AL you should totally eat bacon
😮Woa!! Killer wood chipper. Glad you are ok! ❤
😂 The trail cam mimic. Too cute.
Thanks for an awesome long video Russell ❤️
I hope you find a solution for your tote.
Thanks Nathalie!
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin ❤️ you're welcome
Great video Russell it has a little bit of everything in it!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Russell, loved this video and the trail cam footage was great.
Thanks Scarlet!
3m 5200 Marine Adhesive would seal that permanently. It can be used below the water line and I have used it multiple times on my boat rebuilds. Its used to secure boat bulkheads at sea for emergency repairs. Canadian tire have it in the boat section in a small tube.
Good call, Jack.
Really enjoyed. Had me in stiches laughing. Thanks for sharing.
Spring has sprung at Raspberry Rock!. Careful there with that wood splitter Russell.
Get some JB Weld for that crack on the tote valve until you can replace it.
What a great video! I really like your land, could watch you explore all day.
As soon as I saw you sitting there in front of that splitter… I knew. You put yourself right in the target zone… HOWEVER even when you set that splitter horizontal the wood reacted with kind of an explosion which was odd- we have split years of firewood always with the grain. The vertical setting for that splitter is a back saver just roll the big rounds in and like another gent said here? Get out of the target zone. I truly was expecting your leg to be fractured, the wood nymphs had your back on this one. As I have gotten older I find my spirit is willing but my body becomes less able little by little so I need to use my mind to think through smarter ways to accomplish tasks my young buck self would have snickered at but held respect too, that I am still out here getting it done.
Watch the injury to your shinn. I didn’t and ended up with a horrible infection. Blow to the shinn without any remarkable external breaking of skin or bruising. Keep an eye on yours. 3 antibiotics later and it’s still not good, so have City Girl take a look at it.🙏
That beautiful slab of maple could be sanded down to make a cutting board. Beautiful.
Holy crap, just looked. There are little people running around in the wound. I think they just established religion.
Proper way to tighten/adjust chain tension: Place the saw on its belly, hold/apply upward pressure on the nose of the bar; as you move the bar outward watch the bottom chain until it makes contact across the bottom of the bar. Do not let go of the upward pressure on the nose. Tighten the nuts. Always secure the nuts in the tension movement of the bar, not the relaxed movement.
I SMELL BACON!!!!!
THanks Mate.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin no thank you for the entertainment that you provide. It’s my pleasure.
Russell you are so funny. Not when the log splitter attacked but you Emmy award winning performance.
Try flex seal for the spigot it fixes everything!
Thanks Nancy!
Looking forward to watching this evening! 😊
Russell, thanks for the long video, it makes my day go by faster, as if I need it to lol. At my age I wake up start something and it's time for bed. Your shortness of breath worries me as I also have the same problem. However, I have a rescue inhaler that stops shortness of breath. Shortness of breath also raises BP, last thing we all need. Hope to see you next Friday. Until then God bless in all things.
Could be his heart issues?
@@j.mcinen4587 Yep I like him have issues high BP for me my Sister has his problem. We both have rescue inhalers to help prevent the shortness of breath problems. I can tell you the inhaler works like a champ.
Thanks Rodney. My shortness of breath is probably because I'm 40lbs overweight.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Me too lol but the heart problems started the breath shortness, then at 65 I was diagnosed with asthma. Its a bitch growing old 76 coming soon. No one believes I am that old lol. But I like you keep moving to stop would put me pushing up daises so to speak. God bless you my friend in all things.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin don't you mean 80 lbs , scale video guess Russells weight 😁
Ungrateful Cobra Chickens!! Russell breaks up the ice and all they can do is complain 😆
Great pictures on your trail camera!
Life seems to be quite a struggle for you this past year, time to head back to the city and make Raspberry Rock a weekend place.
So excited for the new video.
Wow the trail cam footage is so awesome.
Wheels are a +50 yrs young man’s best friend the bigger the better!
You trying to mimic a creature in the woods. SPOT ON! 😂 Thank you for the long video, Russell. I do love the longer videos. We saw snow, ice, thaw... I hope the tote is fixed. Peaaaaaa soup!
Is it possible to rotate the splitting wedge 90 degrees?
Back the trailer in properly. Attach a 2x for a ramp to the splitter, and roll the pieces into place. If nothing else, instead of bending over to pick them out of the trailer, remove the tailgate and roll them off.
Seeing those elk on the trail camera was awesome!
They're huge, eh Jeff?
J.B.Weld epoxy will work great!😊
Dump that 4 blade and go back to normal blade on the splitter, better control and less need for a jock. Also that log holder you used to free the log from the ice, if you pulled it over once more it would hold the log up off the ground for safe cutting. Otherwise great fun, thanks for videos as always ! Cheers
The thing bent the first time I used it. It barely works now. Wobbles all over the place.
That tree would be perfect for one support for a bridge.
That's a bridge too far.
To fill holes/gaps with super/crazy glue, sprinkle baking soda on it while still wet. It cures it almost immediately and helps fill the void.
What made it crack is the hole through the ball of the "ball valve" is what froze. Just a few ounces of water. This could be avoided by drilling a small hole through the outside part of the ball so that it drains the ball itself when the valve is closed.
If you don't understand what I mean I could probably draw something and email you a picture if you have a public email.
Which brand?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabinWhich brand of what? Baking soda? Here in Michigan we have a brand called Arm And Hammer..
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin3M 4200 and 5200 sealants will both fix that leak! Careful not to get it on moving parts as they will never mive again!😂
Great job luv the video 😊😊
Plastic weld should work on the leak
Good call fella
RUSSELL, JUST A SUGGESTION...UNLOAD 1 LOG, PUT IT ON SPLITTER, THEN DO ANOTHER. YOU ARE MOVING THE LOGS TWO TIMES OTHERWISE. XOXO ❤❤❤
Especially with city gir
Great video Russ. I can watch you use your log splitter all day. I’m jealous. I used to split a lot of wood when I was a kid. We had a wood stove when I was growing up. Glad you are ok.
Scott I love the wood splitter.
1.36..that was strange yes, and funny I thought it was open water and then you shopped the ice and I saw the ducks walking there too. wow, good that went well, the wood log could have hurt you badly so be careful.wow, again, mine log splitter have never done that??🤔🤔Nice, that maple slabNO. is that wice? Wo`nt the deer and moose eat all the plants if you move them that far away from the cabin? Or else you have to fence around them orDid I see a glimpse of the duckrafter?? Yeah, if you have a house and land, you ALWAYS will have enough of work, that is what I say, so I have to move soon, it is to much for someone that is alone with it all. I will miss my garden a LOT, but...Thank`s for the tour.
Keep up the good work you are doing. Enjoy your videos 👍
Thanks guy!
I see your wood was frozen like your pond, when you were splitting it, it wanted to explode and did. Life in Canada on a cold spring morning. Be careful. That maple you cut was very pretty. June Bugg and Willow look like their having lots of fun in the cooler weather, being black they might get hot in the summer. Anyway thanks for the long video and see what's instore for you and city girl this spring. O that water value that broke, you should be able to buy one made of brass at a plumbing warehouse. MC. MC.
Always an enjoyable and interesting video. I know you are careful but accidents are always a threat, like a Boy Scout be prepared. Keep up the good work.
There are insulating socks you can cover spigots with.
Betcha it gets COLD there.
They take heat?
I don't know if they take external heat or if they can be used with electrical pipe heat tape.
The brand I've used is 'Frost King' faucet protector (flexible, no tools).
I've used the rigid foam bib protectors that hook on too.
I've considered placing one of those chemical glove warmer packets inside the bib protector for very cold nights.
Flex tape is a pretty good water proof sealant - there is tape, paint etc.
The trail camera video is awesome. Loved watching
Those elk were huge!!!
Wolves, deer, raccoons, rabbit.
What is that beautiful black creature you don’t like.
Hey Russell , pick up some flex seal and use that on your pipe and then replace it in the fall when you drain it
Yikes!! Close call Russell. Glad you are unscathed. Really enjoyed this feature film length video and am now inspired to get after our wood processing next week. Cheers! -Frank
Great video!! Pour some warm water on the valve and you can get that valve to work :), great thanks from the UP of Michigan...
Thanks. You should try snow on your non snow areas.
Russell try holding the tip up on your bar when you tighten up that bar . What happens if you tighten the bar don't hold up the top of it moves up makes your chain lose . Also work smarter not harder. Try not to lift your wood so many times.
the valve is split from freezing
no really?
Are you up-to-date on your Tetanus shot? Thanks for reminding me that I should update mine!
For this time of year a good.. Line indicator to line up your solargrid especially a stretch away from the cabin... A lot of us cultivate how much electricity Of solar panels is needed to keep a cabin.. I guess I am asking what is considered inefficient..
Very nice video today my friend. Guess you were lucky splitting logs when that flew back and hit you. Oh and those elk looked giant👍
I was thinking it bent a couple fingers back,when that happened!😮
Better fingers than ribs.
I always look forward to your videos Russell, very enjoyable❄🇺🇲🕉
Great video. Glad your still out there? Do you still do Friday Booxefests? Miss watching and interacting with you guys..
Booxefests are on hiatus for a while.
Great video Russell! Great to watch to unwind after a long day at work. Have you tried flex tape on the spigot? We had a rip in our pool cover and it's held up for 2 years now, even with 30 lbs of snow on top at times.
You might try some "Gorilla Waterproof Patch & Seal Tape" on your valve. Just be careful with it, when it sticks to something there is no getting it undone. PS. it works underwater as well.
Does it work on pubic hair?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I suppose it would ... if you are man enough :)
Hey Russell, Anchors away. One 12" concrete block, a hefty U-bolt, & some ready-mix concrete. Home made ⚓️. Peace ✌️
The wood that you cut. Clean it up, make it a project polyurethane or bee's wax it. Add a couple of hair pin legs. Or just cut a couple tree small logs and make a table.
Wonderful
flex seal might work on the leak Russell ... otherwise look up baking soda and crazy glue on the net and try that.
Nice. 1 1/2 hour video.
Thanks Russ.
It was great hanging out with you this morning Russell.
You should be able to plastic weld the crack in the tote, Heat up a flat head screwdriver and use it to fold the edges of the plastic in toward each other.
wow great video russ. home from work old milwakee beer. always enjoy
Drink it!
HEy Russell, The crack in the valve ,if you're going to seal it ,use rubber cement or caulking to seal it ,and let it sit for 24 hours to ensure that it is completely dry.
The truancy officer,at our high school,was a world strong man competitor back in the 70’s! 😊
