I love how Ryan spent a couple years hemming and hawing about building a cabin cuz he might get too comfortable in it. Now videos just open up with him sitting on a leather couch with a blanket over his lap 😂 You’re crushing it dude, kitchen is going to be dope
Ditto!!!!👍
Guess he was right then. He got soft.
This channel is the best 😂
@@66bigbudsHe got older and smarter. 😅
Almost like he knew exactly what would happen haha 😅
Heroic big timber activities!
Living the damn dream... I aspire to that end one day
Hello Hello how are you happy to watch the next video yay ❤️👍💖🥰🙏🎄🎄
Thanks for the video Ryan !
79.5K
I have to say I never get tired of the chainsaw milling. I guess I'm a little weird. Lol
Have a great day ryan
TOP JOB, UK
Enjoyed your video ❤️👍💖🥰🙏🎄🇺🇸🎄🎄
A good job done! Now, get to building!
I would have liked to have seen more milling. I appreciate that it is a pain to film but lots of us really like seeing you do it. Looking forward to the kitchen build
❤❤happy to see your episodes😊
Maybe not a golf course but a disc golf course could be a lot of fun!
Still loving videos man
ive watched ryan for such a long time and still i have no idea how and where he goes for a shit!
coming this spring: a lumber storage shed!
Just sat down to watch "Fun in the Forest", and sipping on the last cup of coffee.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Thanks for the entertainment your videos are amazing.
I missed the chain saw milling, nice to see you get back to it.
best part of ring worm videos is the prep work . milling lots of trees into lumber for the next project . o so i lied best part of ring worm videos is when the ring worm gang is all together . hands down the best . merry Christmas guys
I have seen every video that you have made and I am still not tired of chainsaw milling!
Thank you!
Watching someone chainsaw mill a bunch of wood might seem kinda boring. But Ryan's joy is infectious. I end up being excited about it too.
Have a merry Christmas Ryan, thanks for the videos. Take care
Hi Ryan. Want to wish U -your family & your friends a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR. Can't wait to see the kitchen built. I just love the cabin & U look so comfortable in it. All of U guys BE SAFE & GOD BLESS.. PHOENIX 😄💋✌👍🌲🌲
I’ve been watching your video for about little over a year. I never get tired of your Milling. Because you make it look so easy. Keep up the video 👍🏽
Even though I have never lived up there, I have spent my whole lifetime going back and forth to a little town named Hessel in the UP. My great grandfather and great grandma Chard (Grandma Judy as she was/is still known to the people there by her old famous vegetable stand and cookbook named Hollyhocks and Radishes) started an old saw mill up there in the 1920's called The Maples Sawmill. My great uncle that was the last family member to own the Mill is retired and spends his winters in Florida now but still returns to the house on Chard Rd. I just sent him the clip of your video and here's his response....
"I think the reasons he gave are valid. It’s white cedar but can vary in heart wood depending on the conditions he mentioned?" - Marvin Chard
we have to see these trail cam pics please!!!
"Aw man, I don't wanna move this whole mountain" - moves mountain. Good stuff Ryan. Thanks
Love the channel! Thanks for the weekly entertainment!
Happy Holidays Ryan nice stack of lumber 🪵
You should make pine tar with all those sapwood stumps
You should look into blocks and tackle. You reduce the wieght by 25% every turn of the the wheel. I use the compound ones, Three wheels into two. You so absolutely rock.
To keep your hands warm I use the rubber gloves from harbor freight then I put my work gloves on works great for me. Keeps the chill of the hands when the gloves are wet.
Wanting to learn how to chainsaw milling is how I found your channel
Lots of heavy milling there. Yep, Christmas is upon us. You should string up some lights on the cabin - those battery operated ones with a remote. Also on the trees. Would look nice and have a cheerful Christmasy look.
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Great build series
Watched this one to the end, now I'll go back and watch the one I missed. See you next week.
When I cut a lot of pine and get sap covered, I find that pre-soaking in water plus Pinesol will really help get the clothes, coats, hats and non-leather gloves very clean (at the commercial units at the laundromat).
Someone is getting use to the indoor life.
When he was talking about acclimating to the seasons I thought: "Yes, it's gonna be worse now that your not living in the tent."
Okay. This episode makes me feel a little bit better about our milling. As Danner and I have been milling logs for our (not so tiny) Home Depot shed conversion I often comment - Ryan does this by himself, without a tractor and forks.
I can now see the difference in log scales and we are routinely doing 12-22” logs. It’s CRAZY how much those slabs weigh wet!
Great job as always. It’s insane how much physical work you’re doing every week. I appreciate it much more now.
I've chainsaw milled since watching Ryan too... and most of my pine logs have been > 16" which A) takes so my longer/slower, and B) is crazy heavy for a single person to move around.
Have you considered a 4 season design for your kitchen? Have a completely open concept for 3 seasons, but detachable walls (with hooks maybe) for the winter. Then you can warm up the area before you make your meals. I think detachable anything would be right up your alley!
Like the shower
The way to keep water from freezing in winter is to dig a post hole as deep as the frost line, collar the top of the hole and then set your water container on it, the heat of the earth will keep the water from freezing. I've watched some guy from Northern Wisconsin do this for his chicken water system.
I forgot you don't read your comments, and now that I've read some of them I realize why. So many suggestions and how to do possibilities.
Dudes just can’t keep their traps shut about this kind of thing.
Hi Ryan how are ya? I look forward to your videos every week!! YouvSirbare the Alaskan sawmill guru!!! That lumber really looks great! I have a bandsaw mill and my wife asks why I can’t sawmill lumber like you, and get rid of the bandsaw mill. Just crazy talk from wifey!! I’m older than dirt if I work as hard as you I would be put in a sappy pine box!! Thank you for sharing your humor and life with us! God bless you buddy have a very merry Christmas!!
I think it’s very inspiring how you always do most of your building lately in the fall and winter. No matter when or how you do it , it’s always so very entertaining and after all that’s what keeps me watching. I just love all your videos your personality is so different and entertaining I always love watching your videos.
He said he doesn’t like summertime at all. Probably the bugs.
Thankyou 😊
You did good! I'm looking forward to next week!
First thing I do every Saturday morning with my coffee, ringworm!!
When Tito (Tido) comes up next. Gotta make a quick sawmill shed to keep your workspace more accessible this year. A Quick little lean-to open on the log loading side. OK, maybe next year. I am happy that you listened to reason and put up the railing, I didn't want an I told you so moment. Oh, and it looks like a cousin from out west made a visit and never went back. I hear tell of red cedar out thataway. Maybe came down from Canada, eh?
Keep bringing milling videos. Just bought a chainsaw mill , so really appreciate your pointers.
I know it’s too late for the suggestion, but if you put the tow strap on those big boards, run a rope or chain around a tree atop the hill and attach it to your 4wheeler, you gain a weight advantage pulling down the hill as the log or planks follow the rope up the grade. The snow should help the lumber slide along better. There are clevises that help save the anchor tree from damage.
Chains for the four wheeler? Really nice pine.
Thanks…always interesting and instructive! 😂👍
So when are you gonna show us the best footage from your trail cams?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Ringworm
Ryan,
I have some woods and a chainsaw and a knock-off Alaska mill. Early in your channel, you tested various chains... what is your current favorite chain? (crosscut, rip, skip tooth, something else)
Also, for toothpaste, we've been playing with dry toothpaste. Basically a mixture of calcium powder, a pinch of baking soda, activated charcoal and bentonite clay; won't freeze).
Sand heaters have been popular lately, maybe you can incorporate that into the kitchen to keep your water from freezing
Ryan, a thought. If you would bury 1 or 2 of those water totes below your kitchen, you could keep water unfrozen, and well insulated intake and discharge pipes. Keep up the good work, just a little less nerdy please. LOL bfrost
I use an aquarium heater to keep a 5 gallon bucket waterer for my chicken thawed
Works great with low draw.
Would probably run off a jackery for days.
Love your show!
Excited about your kitchen!
Also very curious about why you don't use wood heat for cabin and/or also water heater?
That's an interesting suggestion. A 5 watt heater is the smallest I found. Running it continuously would take 120 watts a day. I was wondering about using an ice chest, and/or other insulation to hold in enough heat to keep a container of heated water from freezing. I saw that a watt/hour = 3.4 BTU's so over 24 hours 5 watts is equivalent to about 400 BTU. It appears that this is close to the amount of heat it takes to raise to quart of water from 33ºF to a near boil. Either approach could certainly work. The solution would be to find the balance of heat input with heat loss over time and decide a combination of insulation and heat source that fulfills the need with the least expense and effort. (I am a freak that enjoys analyzing this type of question.) Thanks for triggering me Bill Sims !!! 👍
Re. heating with wood. Ryan has addressed this briefly. He said he doesn't have much good quality wood for burning in a woodstove. I'd guess there is more to it. Heating with wood requires time and effort to process the firewood and dry it. Then he'd have to clean up the scraps of bark, dirt and bugs that come inside with the firewood. It also requires removing the ash and chimney cleaning. Propane is cleaner to use and takes less effort to control the temperature. I expect that Ryan has decided he prefers to buy and haul propane over the effort required to heat with wood. It seems that he prefers to spend his time milling lumber, building things and making videos over processing firewood and maintaining a heating fire.
Thanks for the great reply!
you should get one of those aluminum skill saw tracks. I know you don't like the generator but you would be able to cut all of those edges off in a very short time. or just make one out of wood like I did. and that would cut off some time when you don't have to plane all the edges
RYAN You know if you waited I would help you on out !!! I told you I would move some of that sawdust there for you before !!! If we had planted Carrots we could have used buckets and put saw dust in between layers of carrots for the winter month !!! Then eat those carrots on up doing the winter months !!! STILL LOVE THAT LOG bed you know the 1 that swings !!! Just Think that bed is SO COOL!!!
Can't wait to see the kitchen completed. Get on it Ryan! 🤨
Love the video. I'm 68 yrs old and milled up a big black walnut by myself. It took me about three years! The last few were 6 ft long X30" wide X 2 1/4 thick. No way I could lift them by myself. Now in a couple years they should be dry enough to use.
Ryan... here me out on this... another trailer hooked behind your current one with a decent gap between. Then you'll be able to move logs like the big trucks!
Hi Ryan. Have you considered adding a kitchen to the cabin? It is crazy getting up in the winter to make your breakfast or dinner. Take care.
Wow! What a great original thought! Lol
If nothing else, all that snow at least enables sledding :D
LMAO "...chop me real good" 🔥😎🇨🇦❄🌲
Mornin 🖐😎👍
Disc golf
Morning!
Don't take this the wrong way, your wood is beautiful 😂
Aquarium heater might keep the water from freezing. For 5 gal it should only be between 50 and 100 watts.
Painting the water tank black helps get you a little more season on that. But makes it hot in the summer. So that didnt work so well cause I had to use temporary shade. The paint kept the algae from growing though.
solar panels in the winter produce more than the summer. You have less obstruction from the tress, the cooler temps and the light from the snow helps. pull your solar panels out of storage.
Would love to see you build a joggling board and a zip line from sky deck.
I thought for sure we'd finally get to see "the facilities", when you took us on the 4-wheeler tour. I even paused the video a few times to really zoom in. Please make that the Christmas Special... PLEASE
If you bury a tank deep enough it won't freeze. An old fashioned hand pump and 55 gallon plastic barrel would be all you need.
Listen ! take those boards one at a time, drop the trailer, tilt up the atv end of a board. Tie rope or strap to atv, tie Timber Hitch to raised end of board, tow to destination, slide timber hitch off board, repeat, no biggy.
Oh, don’t forget to tilt board at destination,so you can easily slide hitch off !!
And another thing, if you are felling live trees for timber, ring bark it the year before felling, timber will be better and not full of sap.
You again, Yeah!!
some wheel chains should help with the 4 wheeler.
Ryan , you are so entertaining to watch , love all your videos with the sense of humor thrown in,, great content and love following your progress on that beautiful tract of land,, happy holidays and look forward to new content, greetings from Florida
Hey Ryan, have ya ever tried the waterproof finger mitts for snowmobiling? they have the thumb and index finger separate from the rest of the hand, but amazingly warmer than gloves. I used them for years ice fishing.
I was thinking, if you could dig a hole, below the frost line, create cedar walls and a floor in it, then top it with your kitchen floor and a trap door, you could make yourself a root cellar and store some water in there for the winter, as well as, it would keep things at a consistent temp in the summer. You'd just have to make sure you vent it well. A root cellar would definitely be a win for ya.
I think he’s on boulders !
Freeze a couple of big totes/ tubs filled with water in the coldest part of winter and place it in the 'root cellar' as soon as temps are rising to 30 degrees, Add some foam insulation and have a cool storage area for months.
Check out the benefits of a sand heat storage unit.
When you mill logs, a thought, use your little snowplow to push the sawdust pile away and to grade it out (Obviously not after it's all frozen in winter)
What about a set of chains on the 4x4? Bushradical uses an old riding lawnmower with chains on the rear wheels and practically moves mountains
Me being from northern Michigan I can tell you. There’s lotta red cedar that tree is red feeder.
Time to build a pavilion of sorts over your milling spot so the snow doesn’t fall down your back. Also what ever happened to the tractor with a loader bucket on it from the early videos???
Hot water freezes faster than cold water because the molecules are more active!
Why not start a compost pile for heating your water and cabin? Build a box about 6 ft diameter and 4 to 6 ft. Deep out of wire or some kind of material and fill it with saw dust, old wood( Not cedar. I don't believe it creates as much heat) pine is good. Add leaves and pine straw and other old food or composting materials. Bottom line: go on line and research this. Running flex pipe through this mixture and insulating it with wheat straw can produce a mulch bed that produces heat in excess of 140 degrees for as much as 8 or 9 months. Some have heated water and homes for 18 months doing this simple project. 😊
You need a way to use the mountains of sawdust and bark to your advantage. Maybe there is a simple stove or mini boiler of some sort to utilize that material as fuel in the winter. You just throw it away or a burn pile? Seems like a huge waste of a potentially useful product if so. Just need something fairly efficient and easy to load and clean I suppose. Now I'll go back to couch potato-ing with my fresh pot of coffee. Breakfast burrito sounds good too. Oh, sorry about that.
in the summer you should bury a water barrel like 6 feet deep in the earth with a hand pump on it for water to not freeze . just have a fill spout and a pump spout
Underground cistern; not a bad idea. I might borrow that.
He is lucky if he can dig 6-10 inches. All rock
Do one of the oldest hot water heaters and buy the kit for like fifty dollars, it’s the 55 double gallon drums woodstove kit, and for your shower, kitchen and whatever and it will be outside and you sure have plenty of scraps to burn, it’s a no brainer worm .🤷♂️
I've milled a huge beech tree before with much the same design of mill (and some friends! holy carp that was a lot of work) but I've never thought about milling frozen lumber. I wonder if that's harder on the saw than normal.. now I will deffo have to watch this and find out!

Hello its Chrissy here from down under. Have you looked into building your own wood kiln to dry your wood faster?
Great video!
Why not expand the tool shed a little with those pine boards. Then you don't have to worry about the sap!
You could take a couple old short or cut off skis snow or water skies and place a couple braces Cossack the end of a board or boards and screw or ratchet it on the wood lab or board you want to move then pull it with your machine as long as there is snow should work and a set of training wheels like a bike kids have to learn on when no snow if the ground permits there use but beefed up and you could just pick up one end the drag it with the skis strapped on one end
Don't burn all that brush start a garden with raised beds and put it in the bottom of the beds, then fill with dirt and grow some veg!!
The U.P. is full of western red cedar (aromatic cedar). Grows in most low lands there. White cadar is usually on higher ground and it grows way big.
Seeing you drive around like that makes me wonder how many acres you have?
10
Seems like that would be a good spot for a large out door umbrella over your out door kitchen? Hey I saw several large Bermese mountain dogs puppies for sale in North Dakota On Bisman online I been thinking about dogs lately as well border collies or blue healers.
