I'll give you a hint. I use birch bark instead of paper to light a fire in the stove. Birch bark is the most widely associated kindling - and for good reason. Its structure resembles paper, often used to light fires by "laymen". It catches the flame quickly, and due to the content of essential oils, it burns even when it is moist. A basic choice in deciduous forest.

Some People see cutting & splitting Wood as work... Call me sick, but I actually look forward to it. It's physical & mental therapy. It's one of the many things I do to stay in great shape. I'm 55 & I feel better than I did when I was 25. Love your Videos & look forward to them every week. Cheers 🍻

Wonderful to see young people do hard work & save money on heat. I am not physically able to put in that much work splitting wood, so I spend an average of $0.75 per day on natural gas heating my home. I do sit out in a chair and split some for my firepit.

Pigs stink don't they Katie . A farmer friend of mine raised pigs for meat and auction .One time he needed someone to help him on their farm so I helped him for 2 month's. I kind of got used to the smell but not totally. I helped him and his Mom hand dig a new well ,build crates for pregnant pigs to feed their new born. And for helping them over the summer they gave me an old 1949 International pick-up that was stuck for years in a dried up swamp on their land. I pulled it out with mt Dad's tractor towed it home and actually got it running . I used it to pick up stray bale's of hay and straw . It was my first vehicle .

@barryedwards1336 10 ай бұрын

Here's a tip for you Katie, when you reverse with that little trailer on the 4x4 and because the drawbar is so short, it reacts very quickly when reversing so you quickly get into a jacknife situation, a longer drawbar does not react as quickly, so it is easier to reverse a big trailer than a little one, try to make very little movements of the steering and when it starts to turn get the steering back off, you will soon get the hang of it, practice makes perfect as they say, hope this makes sense.

Katie has definitely come along way to splitting wood from a video awhile ago when she was unable to take that ax with a powerful swing she now has -- congratulations. The pigs are growing nicely, as well as the homestead and the wood pile....all your hard work is paying off.

@dorothyallen3614 10 ай бұрын

I know that makes ya feel relieved with firewood done! Glad the chicken is ok. A piece of cattle panel over the chickens water bowl would keep them from falling in, but they can still get water even if it’s low in the pan. Just a thought.

@chipprice1174 10 ай бұрын

For the water buckets(to keep another bird from nearly freezing to death) make a floating top. Take some ridged wire, attach something(s) that will float, Maybe some plastic balls, pool noodles, or something like that. place them so the wire is barely covered with water. Then the birds can go in, and only get their feet wet and not their whole body.

@Robert_Runyon 10 ай бұрын

You should look into a putting a float switch on your water pump so it doesn't run when there is no water to pump. Running a pump dry can cause it to fail, or worse. Depending on your setup you would need to determine if you need an NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) switch.

@penderkev 10 ай бұрын

For checking the electric fence I would take a long blade of grass and put the end of it on the wire and slide it slowly, shortening the distance your hand is away from the wire, you can feel the charge without it hurting.

I like how much you care for your animals and am so glad that the chicken recovered and got back to normal again. I'm confident your nurturing and care had a great deal to do with that Katie, animals can sense that and respond. I'm sure it feels good to have the fire wood to the level you desired. Now you are ready for winter and can move on to the next thing on the list. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

@jersincl 10 ай бұрын

You have great security with that much firewood. One less thing to worry about. Happy to hear your chicken pulled through after some TLC. Looking forward to your winter and hope you have all buttoned up and ready for it. By the way I've eaten a lot of wild game and when I see that bear I see a juicy burger. The leanest healthiest meat ever. Be safe !

I actually enjoy these short clips more sometimes, they show the many ways you get your future warmth and preparations done. The extra oomph on the electric fencing should deter the bear. They really don't like noisy things, maybe put a trip wire with old pots across where the bear goes frequently.

..you should be able to get a fence tester fairly cheaply. Failing that, hold a piece of succulent grass stem between your finger and thumb, touch the end of the stem on the fence wire, and gradually move your hand closer to the wire with the stem touching the wire all the time. As you get nearer, you can feel a gentle shock on you thumb joint..
