Milling Lumber for an Off Grid Cabin. Wildfire Wood Gets New Life.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- This video REALLY begins about 8 1/2 years ago, when a wildfire destroyed 90% of the pine trees on Red Moose Ranch. Slowly, we have been harvesting what is left of these pines. The log entry to the Ranch is made of these burned trees. As is window trim in the Ridge Cabin, and much of the framing in the woodshed, among other things.
In this video, logs from several of these burnt trees are transformed to wide plank flooring and window trim for the off grid Spur Cabin.
From leveling a flat spot, to stickering the boards, this video will keep you glued to your TV! Or laptop. Or phone. Or tablet...

I always skip thru ads and sponsor stuff but you modeling your merch, looking good, and being funny made me watch thru it. Triple threat you are 😉
I really enjoy your content, good stuff and your soul just makes me smile. Thank you
Aw thank YOU! What kind things to say. Glad you’re here. 🙏
Love the modeling!
But don’t quit my day job! Or my RUclips channel! 🙏
Soft poached all day. Great episode! Was that little snow flurry last week 2/27? Was surprised to see snow at my property that day.
Hey thanks! I believe it was. I’m ready for Spring…
I thought you were going to show us a Bigfoot in the beginning of the video.
Now that would have been interesting video!
You crack me up Patrick! Medium Rare and Sunnyside. Looking at those mountain views in the background remind me of when I was a young fella out on the ranch in the Ghost River country. Miss those days! Also miss milling my own lumber. Thanks for sharing and all the effort you put into this for us!! Keep them coming!
See I knew it! 🤣
Glad you were here. 🙏
"The Milling Episode", A winner!
Thanks for the great video!!
Hey thank you so much!
Wish I lived closer..your burn pile is a treasure trove 4 us..we see picture frames, window box's, small shelving units, curio cabinets..the list goes on
I do too! Sometimes I think it’s a curse…
“I could make this out of that so I won’t throw it away.”
@@LifeontheMoose
For sure you may have a need for the [ GOOD WOOD] In that random field pill
Wood is good when you can use it 😊
Hey Patrick, Happy Easter!!!.... WOW, & it's snowing! The Mrs. & I have decieded to go to Billings,Montana to spend the weekend here & just have a relaxing weekend. Hope you & Karen have an enjoyable weekend as well. Sincerely, the old Montana cowboy,
Frank Scherping❤😊
Happy Easter from both of us! Hope you have fun in Billings. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there.
I think your meat-egg theory needs a little work. I’m a rare to med-rare meat guy, but a firm egg lover (over-hard, firm but fluffy eggs, etc.).
Ah interesting!
Welcome home. Ya know when it comes to modeling you could quit your day job. You made that Moose Merch look good.
Oh stop it! 🤣 if ya can’t laugh at yourself…
Thanks for being here!
I like eggs fried in bacon grease. I like the yolks so hot you have to blow on it and bacon grease cooks hotter . Also toast dipper or with grits too. Nice job sawyer!
Hey thanks! Agree with the bacon grease. 🙏
Welcome home Patrick. I notice you brought some bad humor back with you from the Aloha State. You “crack” me up! Enjoying your eggcellent act here in Vegas. Have a great week friend.😂
PS: Portable saw mill- the ultimate dream tool for any man!
Ha thanks! 🙏
Yeah it’s a dream tool indeed. Lots more to mill around here.
I noticed a real improvement in the color saturation and contrast of your video! New camera?
Same camera…my phone. Perhaps just better sunlight?
I watch a yt called Working Horses with Jim.............He does it all....He cuts wood for a company and himself and cuts trees on Paul Smith College land.
As a fourth generation lumberjack I approve of this episode.
Hey alright! 🙏
Patrick, I bought one of those battery operated,Milwaukee finis hing nailers. Like it, but the lowest setting sinks the finishing nail too deep, sometimes.
I think I've sided chicken coops with worse slabs than those. Thinner for sure.
you don't have to dry it first ,before you use it? That's better than paying the lumber yard.
Over easy. Dripping eggs. Love it. Medium rare meat.
Over medium eggs
Good runny yolk but well done white
I’m a scrambled/over easy kind of guy😂
all right.........a sawmill.............yes sir ree buddy......you go boy...this is gonna be fun...lov from south alabama...Hawaii is wonderful , I travel nursed to Hilo for a nursing gig.....I lov the way they don't care if it's raining..........like you Moose peep don't care if it's snowing...........
Thank you!🙏
Hilo, been there once. The wet side, as they say.
hey....you got the t shirts.........I will get one.
Love watching the mill. I'm waiting for you to try peanutbutter in the chili
Ahhh I’ve heard that before, but haven’t tried it yet. I will!
And yeah I like that mill. Wish it was mine!
Again Patrick...an awesome video...i'll liked it a lot!!!have a happy Easter!...Gr Nico
Thank you! Happy Easter!
I like medium rare steak. Anything else is sacrilege. 😂 But eggs? Well done please. Scrambled or hard boiled. If it's soft or liquid it's a no from me. Might be delicious, but I'll never know.
Hey good to know! I appreciate the comment.🙏
Dead level front to back. That's pretty impressive.
Got lucky with that one!
I think I smell that wood........like I have said before ,,I lov wood..I lov working with wood. It's strange..my dad was a Pipeline Welder he built everything out of metal.
Ha interesting! Yeah that freshly sawn smell… love it.
over well with cheddar cheese and tomato on toast
And tomato? Hmmm
yes it's tasty. try it just once.
It looked like you were Knot going to get it on.....
really enjoyed this video... learned much... soft boiled eggs bit runny on toast...
Great! Thank you!
Great job on the sawmill by yourself lots of love or that you’re finding out there if you need it to look for it when you find it you know you got it also
Eggs are best OVER EASY AND PUTTING THEM RIGHT ON TOP OF WELL DONE TOASTED SOURDOUGH BREAD -very brown all the way around with butter and jam!!!
Thank you! 🙏
I’m a fan of the sourdough, myself.
My wife agrees with your egg yoke perpetration... She always has 2, because I'm a fried egg white kind of guy....
Fried is good, too!
how do I like my eggs ? scrambled, hard boiled ( prefer a little runny) eggs benedict , fried, , omelet, I don't care. Eggs are Gods extra special AMAZING food!
I believe so, too! But I don’t much care for hollandaise sauce…
I love to milling my own trees off my little piece of heaven in northeast Washington with my Sequoia Mills SM-120. These sawmills are custom built in Springdale, WA!
Ah, I’ll have to look into them. 🙏
Love your sense of humor, including, regrettably, your puns.🐝😎
Ha thank you! 🙏
Excellent video as always!
That one board come out with very beautiful pattern..
I love my egg yolk runny when making bullseye.. But I like eggs prepped in different ways too.
Thank you! Yeah I eat eggs in any fashion. But I don’t care for hollandaise sauce…
Great video. Building my hm130 now. Have a giant swamp pine that’s been down for 5 years. This gives me hope that it’s still good enough for window , base ect trim. Thanks.
Thanks! Yeah you never know until you cut into it. 🙏
I like my eggs always in all ways. Poach em, scramble them, all versions of over and sunnyside, deviled, dropped (Chinese soup reference) hard or soft boiled, in potato and macaroni salad, pickled or sober. I even like them hatched into further egg layers. I'm egg gregarious. Some would say eggcentric...
lol. I won’t turn down any of them!
Soak up the egg yolk with toast.. yummy 😋 I got board watching this video... just kidding!
😅phew! 🙏
Great add on the shirts. 😂😂 You’ve been gone in Hawaii…….glad to see your jokes are rolling. And glad you’re back.
Ha thanks! Hard not to be in a good mood when I’m making lumber!
"EGGS" personalty I like eggs soft boiled, hard boiled fried scrambled poached omelets and made into egg and bacon pies.
Yum!
What an eggcellent video, you cracked me up with your modelling your T.shirt. I'm allergic to raw egg, so mine are hard boiled or cremated! 😂😂😂
Ha thanks!
Yikes. I’d choose hard boiled!
Great video love your humor 😅you crack me up 😂 ❤And when it comes to eating eggs love omelette, hard boiled, scrambled sunny side up your name and I just love eggs 🥚 lol until your next video stay safe stay strong and like always God bless 🙏❤️✌🏼
Well thanks so much! I appreciate the comment and you being here. God bless! 🙏
I have pretty much the exact same mill. I have found that if you cut 2x6 by 6 foot to span two leveling jacks, instead of short blocks for each jack, the mill tends to stay more stable/level. Watch a couple of my videos for more tips. Cheers.
Good idea!
I like meat well done, but I do like my eggs runny with toast, like you said..very scenic country, keep up the good work..
Thank you! I appreciate the comment. 🙏
Houston here. I'm not sure why, but the milling of lumber is always fascinating to me. I look forward to seeing the flooring.
Hey Houston! The whole producing from nothing thing fascinates me. Thanks for stopping by! 🙏
As far as rare meat eating and runny yoke enjoying (but never runny whites!! YUCK) you got me pegged. Knock the horns off the steer and put wool socks on it's feet and that's done enough for me.
I knew it! I’m limited on my runny whites tolerance, too.
Hello from Midway, Tx heading to Georgia in a day or two, so I’m kinda calling in so here’s your call in I won’t be in next week…. 😂
Ok fine. As long as you let me know in advance. Ha! Thanks for being here!
My breakfast: 2 eggs over easy, home fries, sausage, and potato bread toast. Butter the toast ( I add a little melted butter from the frying pan before putting the home fries in, to get butter to the 4 corners of the toast) When everything is done I put the OE eggs on the toast, break the yolks to dribble it over the home fries. Sausage is cut into 1/8's, egg on toast cut into 1/4's. A bite of each is a great flavor. Use Kerry butter and it tastes like magic. :)
Yum!
No red meat and anything but runny!
Also- my 17 yr old son as entertained as well by your merch modeling moment. I think he was confused at first about what I was watching since its usually something off-grid or news-ish. Hopefully we will gwt to see what you use your newly milled wood for.
Ha! Glad I could entertain! Thanks for watching, and you’ll see some of the install next episode. 🙏
I used to love my eggs just like you. Sadly several years ago I was diagnosed as allergic to eggs (which I’ve eaten all my life) but I kept eating them as long as the yolk is completely cooked. Then may 19 of last year I had an extreme reaction to some yolks not being completely done at a breakfast place known worldwide - had to have medical intervention and I haven’t eaten eggs since. I’m sad about that but I like the way you cook your eggs. 🥚
Dang I’m sad for you. There’s always chili!
YES! I think milling logs is very fun. It's like treasure hunting. Its fun until you turn it into a job, then it's more work than fun. In my experience any hobby or thing you turn into an income looses some of it's appeal.
Certainly truth to that.
Nice touch getting a movie star to do your commercials. To answer your question about the best way to eat an egg...I have mine eggzackly the same as you. Any way other than soft yolked is just not right. Oh yeah, the other way I like my eggs is to hatch them, raise them, then batter and fry em. When I was in my late teens/early twenties I ran a kitchen at a fancy restaurant. There I learned how to cook a steak in order to make it taste divine. The rarer it is, the better for me. I remember one old timer that used to order his steak "Just cut off the horns, wipe it's arse, plate it, and send it out!".
Surely you got to realize just how blessed you are to reside in the area where you live, have your talent, and your health. You also have so many resources with which to build your projects. Those logs came out amazing. I can't wait to see how you put them to use.
Another thing...keep the puns coming. Be sure to have your ear plugs out when you lay one (or two) on us so you can hear our moaning. See you next week.
I believe I heard moaning over the sawmill noise! I also worked in a fancy restaurant early 20’s and cooked steak. Bloody is best!
I do feel blessed. Y’all being here is a part of that.
I should be milling my logs right now. I have the same mill and love it. I stopped to watch this video during lunch.... low and behold your milling too. I feel like I am getting something done while sitting here...... going to suck when I walk out and still have six logs to mill..... :)
Scrambled eggs and street taco's with salsa for me... sometimes a little cheese. Definitely over medium when having toast though. Vaht a yolkster.
🤣
Yeah I wish I owned it! Perhaps someday.
Street tacos…mmm
That portable sawmill is a serious tool. But please consider keeping those outside rough slab cuts, you'll find a use for them somewhere down the road.Regarding rare meat and raw eggs... my wife and I are good examples of those preferences. She likes her eggs over very easy, which equates to raw. She also likes her steaks rare and bloody. Whereas I like my eggs fried or scrambled well done, not runny at all, and my steaks well done with a crispy charred outside. To each his own.
Interesting!
On the cuts, yeah I’m not one to throw good wood away. I have a pile from the last time I milled 2 years ago!
I appreciate you watching.
I too would like to enjoy the company of a large sawmill….can Caleb drag that thing to Kentucky after you’re done with it? 😂😂
lol. I’ll see what he has going on!
An egg-cellent episode 👍. Most Danes prefer there eggs soft boiled. You boil the egg for about 5m 25 sec, then you take the egg out of the water, then you tap the egg with a knife about 1/4 part down and remove the top part of the egg and eat out of the shell. I personally prefer to sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper. 🥚 And yes the yolk is runny and the egg-white is suppose to be white and not runny at all.
Ahh that reminds me of being a youngster…my mother made those every now and then. Good stuff!
Never made the correlation between solidity of my egg yolks with the done-ness of my meat vittles before, but you're right, Patrick! I prefer my eggs fully cooked and the cow fully dead before I eat it! Got sick once as a child after eating some rare steak, and I've never been able to eat it rare since. How long do you have to let that wood dry before you can use it, I wonder?
Ah interesting!
This stuff is dry through and through. I just have to let the milling wetness dry off.
Great episode, very satisfying to see the loggs turning in beautiful planks, really hard work!
Here in Japan they crack raw eggs on top of many hot dishes, took me time to get used to it 😅.
Out of curiosity: for the best result, after cutting the tree you should process it right the way then dry it later or the logg needs time to "rest" first?
Cheers and keep the great work!👍
If the tree is dead, burned like these, the sooner you can mill it the better. If you cut a green living tree down, you can mill immediately, but the boards have to dry in a kiln or be stickered like I did. Depending on the climate, a green log that dries for a year may be perfect.
I appreciate you watching! 🙏
Nice modeling debut.....jack of all things moose. Cabin looks nice
Ha!
Thank you!🙏
Beautiful lumber. For me it’s sunny runny eggs and well done meat and green chili sauce is my favorite.
Hey look at that! I guess I’m not right all the time…🤣
Thank you! 🙏
I hope you make those cabins available for rent - would love to come and stay for a couple of weeks and walk that beautiful country. Thank you!
At this point, I don’t think we will be renting either.
This time of year a cold snap is possible. Winter windshield washer fluid works well in the blade lubrication and cooling department. If it can cut the bug crud on the windshield a little pitch should be a walk in the park.
Good idea!
I dunno how he does it but my husband just said while you were milling that tree, wouldn’t that be great for the floor. Then a few minutes later that is exactly what you said you were gonna do. Scary!
Ha scary indeed! As they say…great minds…🙏
28:55 I agree, sawing logs and making beautiful things from the lumber is tons of fun...
So rewarding!
Just thought if you need an old garden shed, tool shed, or dog house near the new cabin, those end pieces could work as rustic siding but you know if they are too far gone. Nice work, saved yourself hundreds of dollars.
Agreed! They were just a bit too far gone.
Your videos wood be more eggcelent if you were to drive a Chevy. And yes I bought land out in the middle of nowhere to build a cabin on because of you!!
Hey alright! Let me know how the build goes.
I used to be a Chevy guy..
Really want to get a t-shirt! But cant ship to Canada 😭. Love your videos!
Dang! We’re checking into it. 🙏
I like my steak medium rare and my egg’s with runny yolks. And I’m not yoking you😎
Ha I figured!
I like my red meat more on the rare side, but prefer my eggs fully cooked. I will eat runny egg yokes, but to me they are more like a steak that is cooked a little too much - on the wrong side of "done".
Ah fascinating. Thanks for the comment!
Happy Easter Patrick from Rancho de Vegas.
Happy Easter!
16:54 Looks like that entire punk layer wanted to come off by the looks of the crack through the trunk and up through the cut you made to slab it.
Yeah I wondered if I could almost chip that outside layer off with the forks first…
Where did you live before you built the cabin on the Moose?
Actually still live about half the time…on the Washington coast.
Nest: Use a glass to cut the center out of a slice of bread and put it in the frying pan of bacon grease and then break an egg into the hole in the bread.
I never have tried that. Perhaps this morning!
Scrambled eggs only and medium steaks only.
That is exactly what my wife calls for. A tad less done on both for me!
I have a feeling that you Shell be punished for your egg puns.
That makes both of us! 😅
I'm more positive.... I would use a can hook.....
lol. That’s good!
Thanks for sharing
Love my eggs runny as well. My wife thinks it gross.
We have something in common!
The t-shirt promo was some awesome footage ! You are a marketing maven !
lol. I’ll keep my “day job.” 🙏
My daughter in law calls them "dippy eggs"
Perfect!
👍 3 eggs for me, 2 over medium and 1 over easy…no crispy edges! 🤣
Unless it’s an egg sandwich, then I can handle the crisp!
I've alwsys wanted to mill my own lumber. But helping you do it is almost as good.
Almost! It’s rewarding as heck.
The color looks great now. It matches the time-lapse color.
I noticed it’s much closer than it used to be. That’s a good thing!
Zep spray bottles are the worst ever. They need to head for the egg-zit.
Ha! So far this one hasn’t given me issues.
Over easy, scrambled, hard boiled, and rare to medium rare
👍🏻
So interesting!
Basted med , no brown whites / or poached medium
🤙🏼
Omg that moose merch modeling! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know…ridiculous! 🤣
Time Stamp 8:16 or so. "Follow the yellow spot road"
Ha yup!
It's really interesting how this equipment works! And I can imagine how expensive it is. But as you have shown, it's important to know how to identify if the wood is in good condition to be used and where you can use it. I'm always learning from your videos. Thanks, Patrick! 😊
Thank YOU! Still working on shipping MM your direction. 🙏
@@LifeontheMoose Thanks a lot!
Amazing how efficient that dust shute is!
Especially when I remember the bucket! 😅
Over easy
9:18 This has a kind of Emo feel to it. Emoose....
😎
runny
Medium rare meat eater, don’t like eggs😂
Hey a first!
Yes over easy eggs and rare/medium rare steak.
👍🏻
Long video.... but the logs were just as long, if not longer. Of course we haven't seen the end of them. Loved the first part of the two logs by the fence, as they can be seen in the aerial. Further east the aerial shot is much earlier, probably from before the fire. Great video, food for thought, thank you.
Over easy eggs and medium rare steaks
Ahhh! 👍🏻
