Thanks 👍

Thanks. Much appreciated 👍

I feel exactly the same way

Haven’t seen him yet…haha👍

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks. It was my first time sharpening with a file. I will be using this method moving forward 👍

It is slippery when it rains.

Haha…you never know👍

Absolutely 👍

Thanks for watching👍

Glad to hear 👍

I love it to. I might build one with double walls and insulation in between?

We were thinking about that too. 🤔

Can’t go wrong with bacon and eggs 👍

Thank you! 👍

Thanks 👍

Thank you!

Thanks. Hope it lasts 15-20 years before it needs any repair.

@@TheOffGridExperience I saw you going since day 1 .. that’s why I’m convinced it’s going to last much more than 30 yrs before it needs any « touch-ups » !!

Thanks 👍

Thank you 👍 Should be out next weekend!

We had a similar situation across the creek. A small section, the a longer section where it was a boulder that we couldn't get through. My grandpa told my pop and uncle's, take half the distance of the long span, take a 6x6 and run it from underneath to the support roughly 6-12 inches above the ground, lag it in and it would prevent replacing and or sagging. It was so strong we were able and still can get the tractor up to the hunting cabin to this day after 40+ years. Just advice, and it looks amazing! Keep up the great craftsmanship!

Thanks 👍

Much appreciated 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks Billy 👍 I could probably dona blooper reel with how many times I slipped and slid down these hills...

Thanks. Good luck on your build 👍

@@TheOffGridExperience Well if you’d like more practice, I’ll let you practice on my bridge 🤪😂

Crazy how dry it’s been. Snow is in the forecast next couple days though.

Good luck 👍

Haha…it might be?

@TheOffGridExperience Missionary Ridge is where I had my property. I had a creek on the front side and Bear Creek on the back side of the property.

Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks. It's designed for a side by side to cross it. I couldn't get a tractor to it even if I wanted to.

Thanks for the comment 👍

Great idea! :-)

Haha….not a bad idea.

Thanks for the comment. Corners and center beam have stone from creek underneath so the wood is not in direct contact with dirt. Kinda hard to see with slope and angle 👍

Thank you@@TheOffGridExperience

This creek is really only a wet weather one but good idea 👍

I won't be able to haul any materials to the build site, so it will be logs from my own trees and stone.

Not really sure what bank seat beams are. The corners have rocks underneath for support. Followed same design as my other bridge and it's held up fine. Thanks for watching 👍

@@TheOffGridExperience A bank seat is like an abutment, I have used 6x6 or 8x8 beams dug into the banks about 2 foot wider than the bridge 1 foot each side this gives a great surface to sit the bridge on.

@davebloggs ok, yes. Makes sense. I used some stones from the creek to sit the bridge on. We'll see how it works. I may have to use the seat method if it doesn't hold. Thanks 👍

I think the concern here is the bridge is well built for vertical loads (crossing) but without the ends being anchored in an abutment or even just the ground you potentially could have problems with lateral loads torquing against your span supports.* *Disclaimer: I'm totally not an engineer.

@@snowbw You are correct, the end load carrying is being supported on mud and the contact area is very small for distribution , within reason you want a high amount of contact area to spread the loads on a bridge, the static loads here are quite small but over time on mud the bridge will tent to warp in the soft surface, since this is just a foot bridge dynamic loading is not really a factor.. the builder has put large rocks under the end corners so that will help for sure and even if it did move slightly it would be a simple repair to re straighten it,

Thanks. It’s from some artist named Ben Winwood. I use a few of his songs in my videos.

I see his work online, thank you.@@TheOffGridExperience

Stone would be much more difficult.

@@TheOffGridExperience Why not ? It is more stable and lives longer.

It’s for a side by side.

Thanks. The wood doesn't touch the ground. There are creek stones under corners. I built this the same way I did my other bridge by the tent. Still rock solid after 2.5 years.

I enjoy peeps telling you how to build your bridge; I doubt if the shoe were on the other foot, you would be telling them where they went wrong on their bridge, the very one they haven't built! @@TheOffGridExperience

I love bacon. Eat it about 3 times a week. If you stay active and don’t over do it, you can pretty much eat anything within reason.

I’ve worn bucket hats for 20 plus years. My kids make fun of it all the time 👍

Protects your ears from sun, love my bucket hat.😊 I wear what hat depending upon weather. Good job on the bridge.

I’ve known this guy since kindergarden. He started wearing bucket hats in high school. I think he had one with a Steelers logo. Trips to Destin - bucket hat. Smoky mountains - bucket hat. I copied his style and bought one too. Covers neck from sun. 😅

@sensiblyhealth haha....yes. I have had a few different ones over the years! I miss my Steeler bucket hat though.
